  2. After we got “Draw and Hold” mode for pencils to draw perfect shapes, putting an eraser with “Erase Entire Stroke” in the middle of the circle makes the circle be erased. This is quite uncomfortable when I have to edit inside the circle. I wish the circle would be erased only when the eraser touches the boundary.

  3. Boolean Operators for the search function for more specific results:
    Similar to how boolean operators work on search engines online and on library databases, Boolean operators could prove extremely useful when using the search feature on Goodnotes.
    A main feature of Goodnotes is the ability to search/index handwritten notes, so the combination of this ability and of Boolean operators could make Goodnotes an extremely powerful competitor to others such as Notability!

  4. It would be helpful if the size of the laser pointer could be adjusted. The current one is pretty small and sometimes hard to recognise.

  5. Currently, if you look up something, the term is being saved in the search history.

    As far as I know, there is no possibility to disable the search history or to delete either a single entry or all entries art once.

    I miss an option to delete entries or to limit the search history to e.g. three entries.

  6. The shape tool does not respond to the undo feature like it should. Resize via the shape tool will not revert to the last size if I hit the undo button. This is an easy fix that should be a thing already.

  7. Sometimes I remember the full word but sometimes I don't. I may only remember a segment of it. So, it would be helpful to have the option to find a word just by searching for a piece of it. For example, let's say I want to search for the word "perforated" but I only remember a portion of it, such as that it ends with "rated" or that the middle part is "for". I'd like to be able to find that word just by typing little parts of it if I don't quite remember the full word.

  8. Your app is great, but your latest update removed the big keyboard and forced users to type on a tiny keyboard the same size as our phones. Can you please make it an option to keep the big keyboard? I spend enough time as it is trying to henpeck sentences on my phone.

  10. I am one of the large majority of users that only uses the pen tool, highlighter, eraser, & lasso tool. I have no use for the images, photo, laser, or text-box tools and thus, would much prefer to be able to add more colors and pen sizes (which I constantly change and use a lot). It would be amazing if the Goodnotes team would add this ability to an upcoming update!

    Keep up the great work! :)

  13. It would be great to have the option to autodeselect the highlighter and lasso tool like it is with the eraser. Would make note taking a lot faster!

  14. Hope to add the function of global handwritten to text and the function of text box content splitting at will.
    Global handwriting to text: because writing is not as good-looking as standard font, you want to add global handwriting to handwriting. That is, select the pen column to add a function. When this function is turned on, all handwriting will be converted to standard font by default, and the font size is equal to that of handwriting.
    Text box random split function: because some text is obtained by OCR, after entering the text box, the whole text box is a…

  16. Suggestion: Make the slide sizes bigger and empty spaces in between smaller.

    Why: The overview of documents is supposed to give a clear overview for users,
    yet the small slide sizes and big empty spaces counter this purpose and make it extremely difficult to read and scroll through documents in an efficient manner.

  17. Goodnotes currently compresses images when importing them into a document. Having the ability to deactivate the compression of images will help greatly in those who import images as templates very often. Please consider making this option available while also making sure this won't lag the document.

  18. The backup options are usually services that require you to pay for storage which some people may be unable to do. Google Drive is the only storage place that doesn’t charge to store large amounts of data. I only have one google email and I don’t want my school notes getting mixed in with other files I have on my drive.

    I’d like to propose GoodNotes Drive (separate from the GoodNotes app) where we can back up all our notes.

  19. I love using cornell notes, but since the paper is ruled, if i type something in, I have to constantly adjust spacing or text size so that the text is not obscured by the lines. I’ve been drawing out my own cornell notes on blank paper but it’d be so much easier to have a template already in place to do that.

    Other options like grid or dotted paper would be nice to so that it’s easier to draw graphs.

    In the pictures, one photo shows cornell notes on dotted paper (it makes it easier to draw straight lines. On…
