  2. Text needs the option to save custom colours. Changing text colours also seems inconsistent and often changes the entire block instead of only highlighted text.

  3. Hello, I am a Korean student who is using the GoodNotes very well. If I write Korean with a pen, my handwriting gets ugly. But If you take notes with laser points, your handwriting gets way much prettier!! If you add a pen that has the exact same writing experience as the laser point, I think I'll be able to use the GoodNotes very happily. Thank you!

  4. I use a lot of screenshot capture using a noose.
    In this case, the image quality drops a lot.

    I wish it could be modified to convert the PDF into an image.
    In this case, an image of 300 dpi will be less degraded. 600dpi is great.

  5. Recognize a double-tap to change to drawing mode. Could also do triple-tap to change to erase. Or let user assign the action.

  6. Hi there.
    It would be useful to have better integration with Apple shortcuts. For example, something simple like "email document to this sender" would make workflows more efficient. I'm often emailing documents to one particular sender, so by having a single button to press to email a document to the same sender would be beneficial. Other examples would be to import documents to Goodnotes, or export them to a folder.

  7. It would be great to have the option to use a sidebar like the one we already have in the Mac version also on the iPad. Especially on large iPads this would be an easy, fast, convenient and clear way of navigating around larger documents.

  9. go to the page in which undo/redo changes are made
    when undo/redo

    sometimes, hard to track where (what page) undo/redo changes are made... don’t want to mistakenly undo actions made at different pages

  10. Would you be able to create a “touch” feature icon so that it supports hotlinks on pdf?

    I have hotlinks in my content page of my pdf to navigate to the correct pages, one click and i jump straight to the page instead of flipping through 30 pages.

  12. When writing notes with Zoom Window, it would be comfortable to have the color picker on the grey line of the zoom window, next to the indentation keys. This way when writing, we can quickly pick our colors instead of having to move our pencil all the way to the top of the screen. When I'm writing definitions, after every term I have to change color and it is time consuming and tiring to go so far away. It would be way more efficient and convenient to have the color picker appear closer to the zoom window for faster access.

  13. Goodnotes highlighter palette sucks at opacity. It's like using a highlighter that is screaming in pain and is about to die out lol. I would have to rehighlight the entire line 5-6 times just to get my desired level of opacity and that really sucks as it causes distraction in flow while reading.

    About sharp straight end what I mean is to add a feature like OneNote. DEAR GN , REAL HIGHLIGHTERS HAVE SHARP ENDS NOT ROUNDED GLOBULAR ENDS. Please change these two features 🙏

  14. It would be nice to be able to change the thickness of the pencils, especially the highlighter to the size that you want and that is not limited.

  15. Can we please add more paper sizes such as A4, B4, and JIS B5?

    I'm a university student who uses B5 sized paper for my notes and I would like to print my GoodNotes pages out onto my regular B5 paper.

    Thank you

  16. I think there should be more variety allowed when it comes to the eraser size. We shouldn't only have 3 sizes to choose from. I would prefer a slider, like that of the pen and highlighter tools, which allows us to get more specific sizes.

  18. Integrate mindmapping functionality that also integrates with calendar and project management tools, at least at some basic level.

  19. I would suggest another function for the lasso tool which makes it possible to chance the font size of the selected handwritten text without enlarging the whole text.

  20. Instead of having to scroll through different tabs for notes when several of them are open, they should condense and all stay on the screen for easier access (similar to how google chrome tabs do)
