  1. I use a lot of colors, and sometimes want to color match something. A color matching tool that can let me hover on an image or text and just get the exact color it’s written or drawn in without trying and failing to color match it perfectly.

  2. for using the Text tool with an Apple Pencil, add some movement or mark that indicates "new line" or "paragraph." Currently I must stop writing, open the keyboard and tap "return" when perhaps some Pencil gesture could accomplish this.

  5. I am enjoying the app and the features of being able to create different notebooks! I draw little squares a lot to indicate To Dos. It would be beneficial to create an option for this that recognizes it as a To Do and aggregates all of them in the front page or front cover of the notebook or somewhere in the app.

    Being able to enter dates and being able to skip to a date would be helpful as well.

    Great app! Simple to use. Saves me at least $45/year in good notebooks. You could charge more than you do.

  6. I am using GoodNotes for work. I have multiple notebooks covering different topics, and sometimes certain points would be relevant in multiple notebooks.

    Was thinking that an ability to ‘twin’ a page to another notebook would be helpful. Not just a link, but twinning. For illustration,

    Notebook A has pages A1, A2, A3.
    Notebook B has pages B1, B2, B3.

    Now, I can twin page A2 into Notebook B, so its pages become
    B1, B2, A2, B3. Notebook A remain as A1,A2,A3

    After twinning, Whatever changes made in NotebookB, page A2 will be reflected in Notebook A and vice versa.

  7. Goodnotes has available in its pop-up store: "Hexagonal Grid: Draft Papers" which features a hexagonal grid. However, because line snapping only works at 45° angles, there is no useful line snapping for this grid, which makes is somewhat useless as a template. It would be great (and I imagine very easy to implement) if there was a toggle in settings to access 30° line snapping.

  9. Its a pain to move pages by dragging them if you have 500+ pages. Can we get a way to move multiple pages at one time in a single journal?

  10. If you notice, the sticker expansion and edit ‘square’ is a lot bigger than the sticker itself. It does allow you to write right below the sticker, but if you try to ‘lasso’ the text, it ends up selecting the sticker too.

    I hope the screenshot can help.

  11. I am left-handed and use GoodNotes on my iPad for taking notes. When you're editing a document and zoomed in so that the entire width of the document can not be displayed and scroll all the way to the edge of the document, GoodNotes forces the edge of the document to the edge of the display and does not allow you to scroll off the page. This makes it difficult for me when writing at the beginning of a line, since I'm left-handed, my hand is often hovering off the edge of my iPad or I need to set something…

  12. Beeing able to leave certain files locked in read only mode while having others in editing mode would be a nice adition to the app. For example when I have both a textbook and a writing page opened I would like to scroll with my pencil on the textbook and write normally on the page, without having to turn on and off the edit mode.

  13. I often prefer using the undo feature over switching to the eraser tool and requiring two taps per undo often makes it feel like I have to play a button-mashing Mario party mini game just to delete the last word I wrote.

  14. For note taking I usually use black, red, blue, and one other color. It's difficult to keep up with a professor with change one of the colors to the other. So I wish there was another color selection in the toolbar. Also, the option for more toolbar customization would be nice. I don't use some of the features all the time, so being able to hide them would be nice

  15. Have a choice to upload many photos from our library and on the + page to make a file. So far, we can only add one at a time, but it will be more convenient if we could choose multiple at a time as well.

  16. After selecting an object or text it should pop-up the option or duplicating the item instead of having to copy and paste it. This function would help a lot in efficiency, please work on it...

  17. To use Goodnotes under MacOS with a Wacom tablet, a hide cursor feature would be absolutely mandatory. Write from styluslabs has such a feature. It is actually rendering handwriting impossible if there is always this crosshair cursor present.

  18. please make it work to scroll continuously on horizontal direction, as it is on vertical direction. When set to Horizontal, the pages flip to the next page. it is very uncomfortable when I compare two pages set aside.

  20. I need a template for organic chemistry--Specifically a hexagonal-lined notebook. These are imperative for note taking and problem solving in organic chemistry class and as I use Goodnotes mainly for my stem classes this would be very useful!
