  2. ページのスクロース方向を日本語の縦書き文書に対応してほしい

    日本語の文書の場合、縦書きの文書もある。この場合、左から右にスワイプしてページをスクロールするのが自然である。スクロールの方向を追加してほしい。

  4. Auto save photos to camera roll

    I use this to take notes ehile inspecting houses. I take 50-60 or more during an inspection. While I can save each one individually (one at a time) to camera roll it would be awesome if that could happen automatically.

  6. Collapsable typed text

    Is it possible to "collapse" a text note ? I'm reading a PDF document, making handwritten notes. I want to type a long note, with some text copied from Wikipedia, but I don't want to have the text taking all the space. So, is it possible to make the note collapse like a "yellow sticky note", so I can see it is there but not taking all the space. If I click on the "sticky note" it would "uncollapse" so I can read it or edit it.

  7. Reduce Goodnotes storage size on IpadOS

    Notes in Goodnotes consume too much storage (as compared to other note-taking apps). Maybe you can use a better compression technique for storing notes.

  8. Left-handed option for lasso resize

    It is very awkward for left-handed people to resize lasso-ed items by dragging the lower left corner. Would be great if the delete and resize buttons (in opposite corners) could be reversed for lefties!

  9. Bring back beginning/ending points for fountain pen

    The new update (Version 5.4.22) made some tweaks to the beginning/ending points for the ink of fountain pen. It is now much less pressure-sensitive and comes out just like the ball pen. Please bring back the previous version as it writes more like fountain pen. Or at least give us more options for having pen tips or not.

  11. Sign-in iCloud from Goodnotes app to sync personal and work devices.

    For the users who have their Goodnotes app on their personal devices and use Mac at work, it would be great to give them the option of signing in our personal iCloud account on the Mac from Goodnotes (instead of using the system iCloud account, which belongs to the company).

    I could sign in Appstore with my personal Apple ID and download Goodnotes for free on my company Mac but I cant use it since it doesnt sync with my own iCloud account.

  12. I wish for some text typing improvement

    text fonts and sizes are not convenient to change, and after moving text box, the horizontal length of text box is fixed and this bothers so much.

    plus, there is a storage bug in automatic backup...while writing with backup on, many gigabites of storage disappears

    Add deleting pages to the undo stack so that clicking undo right after deleting a page or pages, will bring them back.

  16. text selection tool macOS

    IOS version allows us to select entire PDF texts. MacOS' text tool doesn't have this feature, so we can't copy, paste or define texts.

  17. Insert lines and other forms (like coordinate System) via drag/drop

    First of all: I‘m not a big fan of calculating my handwritten lines into „straight“ lines. I‘m using iPad and ApplePencil and it still doesn‘t work properly (as shown in the picture) - they are just not straight!

    That doesn‘t help during my Math lessons.

    I‘m not saying that the current solution should be erased - just add the function „drag/drop forms“ (please add coordinate systems for my math lessons!).

    Like OneNote did (see picture).

    Please don‘t make the same mistake and wait years to add this function. As a math teacher (and vor my pupils): THIS WOULD BE HUGE!

  19. Zoom Window Toolbar GN5

    Please bring back the toolbar from GoodNotes 4. Having the pen, eraser, colors, and undo button is so crucial for note taking. This will increase speed for those of us without Apple Pencils. Double tapping to erase just doesn’t work like this Toolbar did.

  20. Palette

    More custom color palette (similarly to Notability)

    It would be better if I could make a palette for a light background, and another one for a darker background
