  2. the ability to show the screen at true 100% or alternative 200/400/50% scales would make it much easier to review technical drawings.

  5. Share a page with a web link, maybe is too much that the other persons you are sharing with can edit, but at least they can have a tool to point sections like the red pointer on app. So you can make changes on the app and the other people can watch as you draw flows or anything. That would be super helpfull, like a blackboard

  6. A common action that I perform in Goodnotes is the "Convert Handwriting to Text” and use that converted text as an Outline in my document. What would be nice is there was an option from the converted text window to save the converted text directly to an outline. I’ve attached a screen recording of the steps I currently go through to add an outline title.

  8. Make it possible to "Magic Wand"-select a color that you need to crop away on a picture, so that you're left with only the image on the page, no white borders around it. (The same way it can be done in Photoshop or even Apple's Pages & Keynote)

    e.g. Red dot on white square picture, becomes only the red dot that I can freely move around in GoodNotes, without hiding text behind the white border.

  10. The possibility to use GoodNotes 5 for Mac with Sidecar gives us the chance to deliver reach presentations with the Mac, using GoodNotes for Mac as a whiteboard, and the Sidecar-connected iPad + Apple Pencil for drawing on the whiteboard.

    Adding a Presentation Mode to GoodNotes for Mac -- especially including Laser Pointers -- would improve considerably this practice.

  11. Add a mini toolbar when the zoomed function is being used. This will allow us to quickly switch between three or more multiple tools without having to reach up to the menubar to do so.
    The recommended tools are: pen, eraser, highlighter and maybe the shape tool.

  13. Since handwritten text lists can be broken apart much better than text, I would like to have a ‘convert text to handwritten text’ feature. We could even have nice handwritten ‘fonts’ that we could choose from.

  14. Add more functional adjusting tool, not only from bottom corner but from 4 sides.
    Also recommend to improve Shape tool, maybe have straights line by holding stroke for a second, like Notabilty.
    Last but not list, when selecting a rectangle, one of the needed options is filling color, not only when drawing a new one.

    Hopefully this will be read and enhanced

  15. Currently, when selecting text in a PDF, you have the option to "strikeout" or "highlight" the selected text. As far as I can tell, when selecting one of these options, the only available color for highlighting is yellow and the only available color for strikeout is red. Please add a feature to allow users to choose the highlight color and the strikeout color for selected text.

  16. Sometimes I have a document that's hundreds of pages long and I just want to know if a specific word is used in one chapter without having to see every single time it appears in the whole thing. I would love it if GoodNotes enabled the option to search if a specific phrase is in a specific range of pages (for example, pgs. 62-80 instead of pgs. 1-100)

  17. I often take notes that are messy, in the wrong folder/document etc, so as you can move writing, it would be useful to be able to cut and paste a whole page into another folder/document

  19. Instead of moving your hand up to the top or bottom of the screen to scroll to a new tool or change the color have a wheel that can be placed any where on the screen with just a tap and slide you can change the tool or change the color from presets

  20. After creating a Text Box and adding text it is quite difficult to change the layout again. For example, the text color cannot be changed anymore unless using the lasso tool.
