  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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...

  5. There should be an option where you can upload a powerpoint and it would format it as 3 slides per page on the left with room for notes on the right side. That way you don't have to write everything that the teacher says, but can hilight the things they emphasize.

  6. An existing page(main page) must have options to add side pages which can be used to have more information for a topic/content present on the main page.

    Basically using the side pages as rough workspace to note down more info of a particular topic present on the main page where the side pages can be hidden when not needed.

    Example:
    1) An equation on the main page and its derivation on the side pages(collapsable/hidden pages) that can be accessed whenever required and can be hidden away when not required.

    2)A formula on the main page and sample problems and solutions…

  8. 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.

  9. Select pen text using the lasso tool, and be able to adjust pen stroke just as you would color. This is a feature on Notability that I'm very jealous of because it makes it much easier to resize notes.

  10. 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!

  11. It would be great if we could (globally) set whether we wanted both pdf outline and custom outline to both be shown, or only have the custom outline shown.

    Right now I have to manually remove the "pdf outline" option from each document, everytime I open that note. It becomes problematic as the pdf slides provided by my professors have nearly each page as part of the outline on that option, often with missing or nonsensical titles. So it would be greatly appreciated if we could customise our choice in what is shown by default to only include 1 (with…

  12. A fast scrolling option is important for file who have LOTS OF PAGES.

    In PDF EXPERT there’s a similar function very useful.

  13. Would there be a function that link to the same or different notebooks page?
    I know it can be achieved through a 3rd party platform but that makes the note not flexible enough.

  17. Separate palettes for added pen colors. What I mean is when we add new colors, I would love be able to be make separate ones. Instead of only having one single palette, why not have the ability to create separate ones?

  18. On my Mac, when I double click the mouse pointer on a word to select it, GoodNotes responds by increasing the zoom level of the note -- the word is not selected. When I double click again on the word, GoodNotes responds by unzooming. In every other app, I can select a word by double clicking on it -- this is my preferred app response since it is what is expected throughout all of computing. I would appreciate it if GoodNotes behaved the same way -- select, not zoom. Thank you.

  19. I want to create a new Quick Note and then when finished move it (all pages) to a Notebook. At present I can tap the File name and it only allows me to move to a Folder. The only viable option is to use the page picker, select all pages and then I can move to a Notebook - lots of taps
