  1. Since we are writing with one hand (right or left) it is an obvious idea to give us ALL tools in the reach of the other hand. Come on, it’s not that hard to do this. :)

  2. I'd like to see a "smooth handwriting" option. Something that makes my handwriting a little neater. And more pen options

  4. As a math student, I want to the objects to snap to a grid. As of now, I draw a poor looking circle that either comes out as round or elliptical, and I have to painstakingly try to pinch it in a position that works.
    I would rather have templates, or make it snap into a grid.

    Also, I want a favourite bar of most used colors in the top right. There's plenty of space.

  7. New brushes and allow for the pen to have more options. Specifically streamline. Writing in GoodNotes is disappointing.

  9. I have a cognitive deficit and having the iPad read a PDF to me is key to allowing me to highlight and annotate. I can write all day long but can’t read large blocks of text. Hearing the text read while following along works best for me.

  10. would love to see more mathematics tools such as a ruler, a pencil compass, a real life scale on the paper, and maybe even a calculator within the app. Maybe a calculator you can move on the screen or click it with your finger to summarize an easy equation? I bought an iPad intending to only use your app for all of my notes when I go into college now, but unfortunately I do not see myself using this app for mathematics just yet. Pie charts, gifs and videos in the notes would also be very helpful. (I could for…

  11. I have made a more detailed blog post with examples that can be found here: https://jess-ambers-blog.weebly.com/home/goodnotes-transparency-and-background-colours

    As someone who makes GoodNotes journal covers, I appreciate flexibility in being able to make covers that look like real books. Part of that includes rounded corners and things that protrude, like the clasp on a filofax planner. When I make these images as transparent PNGs, the background becomes white in GoodNotes. I've tried to alleviate this by adding a solid grey background, but this isn't good enough for a couple of reasons.
    1. The shade of grey is not consistent between the main…

  14. It would be nice to attach a reminder do a notification could remind you to follow up on certain things. I use this program for work and right now I use a combination of the handwriting search and color coding to know who I need to follow up with but it’s super tedious...reminders would be amaaaaazing.

  16. No offense to those who have designed the cover templates, but for designers, architects, engineers, artists and anybody who is more creatively inclined — we would much prefer to import images as backgrounds for creating our own custom covers, and/or design our own using some embedded tool. I need to visually glance at groups of notebooks and understand immediately what applies to what project, or in what category they are. This is something pretty critical for me as I ramp into using GoodNotes for many different projects.

  18. Most artistic or note apps allow you to select an image and directly resize it using two fingers to stretch or pinch. In this same way it can also be reoriented or flipped. Much easier than holding pressure and flipping to resize, and a must for resizing boxes when i am noteteaking for school. Thanks!

  20. Please add B5 paper worksheet, because there is no B5 choice and most college students are using B5 paper because it has a lot of space to write and i'm unable to print my notes to B5 paper type.
