Better typewriting support. I mean paragraph text and not just a grotty text box.
A separate button next to the “pens” for typewriting. This would entail being able to type normally wherever we tap on the page to create an insertion point. This would also contemplate minimal text styling; bold, italic, underline, several colours and the ability to change font and/or font size for any given part of the text.

Add more shapes such as semi circle, arc sectors etc.
The shape tool is amazing no doubt but it still lacks some major shapes. If you try to draw a semi circle by a quick stroke it converts it to a straight line, same goes for an arc. This is difficult while taking maths lectures as it requires a lot of shapes. Some shapes that don't work are: semi circle, arc, sector, parabola.

A layer ability, or the option to move an item forward or back a layer to where required
I think it would be great if we could lasso an item, whether it be pen, text, or image and have the option to move it back or forward a layer. Ie if you write something handwritten then insert an image and lasso the text/whatever you've drawn on top of it, it gets hidden behind the picture. I've love to lasso it, select move to front and then move it on top of the picture.
Don't necessarily need layers to be like in Procreate but, some ability to move lasso'd items in front or behind other items would be a…315 votes -
Whiteboard mode - Or endless papersize
Actual the size of the paper is fixed.
But nevertheless that I use A0 I am limited during Brainstorming and other creative workshops. Therefore I must use another tool (Zoomnotes). But this is not helpful at all to switch from tool to tool.
Is there a chance in the near future to implement a more to enlarge the size of the paper endless?307 votes -
Streamline Option for the Drawing Tools
Add a streamline option for the pen/pencil/marker tools similar to the streamline option in Procreate. That way, those who write in cursive won't have as much trouble with shakiness & therefore there wouldn't be any "jerky" lettering.

Notebooks that remember pen settings
I usually keep two notebooks open on my iPad in tabs. I write in thin black on one notebook, and the other notebook I write on an index card template in a thick marker like pen setting. Moving between tabs, it would be nice if a notebook would remember the last pen setting used inside it. I need to switch back and forth quickly, and having to change pen type, color and thickness every single time gets old fast. Thanks for your great product!

Video links/ hyperlink
Hello,
I am using Notability as well as Goodnotes 5..
I want to emphasize on the point that you should make it possible to insert videos in the notes itself or at least give an option of inserting hyperlinks to youtube or websites.
It becomes so much easy for us to click the link and open it there itself..
U need to seriously think on this..256 votes -

Text improvement
Text needs to be improved
- Bullet points and other text features like tables needed to be added
- Switching quickly between preset text fonts and sizes
- Text recognition on pdfs is terrible, some fonts like ones used in some of my text books are hardly searchable
- Text boxes are annoying, don't mix well with handwriting and do not fit into the lines of the default page248 votes -

Triangle ruler
Many users asked for a ruler but in my opinion it makes more sense to add a triangle ruler as a new funktion, because then you can't only measure lenghts, but also measure angles and draw straight.
Especially in math or physics classes, you often have to measure or draw angles.
And putting your physical triangle ruler on the iPad isn't a nice long-term solution, is it?
Therefore I would be happy about a triangle ruler funktion in GoodNotes 5 :D.217 votes -

Color Eye Dropper and Saving Custom Colors
Having a color eye dropper would be super helpful for color-coding info when highlighting or simply writing with a pen!
I also would like to have my custom colors saved such that any color I save on the app on my phone is saved so I can refer to it and use the same color when I use GoodNotes on my computer. Thanks!!211 votes
