  1. Have the ability to write on a second sheet that is superimposed on the page as a layer.
    This would make it possible to add elements on the layer, for example text on an image, and to be able to manipulate them easily.

  2. I use zoom window all the time for taking notes on powerpoint slides but the biggest flaw that always comes up is my written not being straight or the same height due to their not being any guidelines on the powerpoint slides. It would be nice to have guide lines on the zoom window that only appear on the zoom window to help writing in a straight line

  4. Please add a Feature (and make it default) that objects like text boxes and images snap and align to each other (like in iWork) when moving and resizing. Thanks!

  7. I found GoodNotes to be very versatile even for doing wireframes for mobile design. Although with the ever changing sizes, it would be great if we can customize the size.
    GoodNotes is also the most smooth note writing app I’ve used. It would be great to have an option for unlimited canvas so I can use it for larger brain storming sessions.

  8. When working on a dark background, all GoodNotes highlighters are soo hard to see. they lose their color after I take off my pencil.

    There must be optional setting that colors stay the same, as in Notability.

    Yet, another reason for me why I have to use Notability.

  9. It appears that the only way to get a white piece of paper is to use the standard paper. It would be great to be able to change the default paper type color within a notebook.

  18. I often find that I need to resize a shape I have already drawn and when I erase a portion of the shape and redraw it, the app treats the change as a new shape instead of as an update to an existing shape which results in lines not matching up between the unerased portin of the shape and the new portion. I have attached a pdf that shows the problem.

  19. Create a sliding bar to adjust the strength of the line smoothness to personal preference - from
    Really strong to none.

    This will be helpful for those who don’t have a steady hand, and also for creating illustration doodles, lettering and neater handwriting.

  20. Pen, pencil, marker etc, the basics, have a look at the apple notes, it provides the basics plus a ruler for drawing functions/graphs, tables. I Just purchased this app and pissed off/disappointed to be honest. One may ask why do we even need markers or a pencil when it’s digitalised notes.... well user experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
