  1. I have made a more detailed blog post with examples that can be found here: https://jess-ambers-blog.weebly.com/home/goodnotes-transparency-and-background-colours

    As someone who makes GoodNotes journal covers, I appreciate flexibility in being able to make covers that look like real books. Part of that includes rounded corners and things that protrude, like the clasp on a filofax planner. When I make these images as transparent PNGs, the background becomes white in GoodNotes. I've tried to alleviate this by adding a solid grey background, but this isn't good enough for a couple of reasons.
    1. The shade of grey is not consistent between the main…

  3. Hi, it would be nice if we could fix a default (preferred) size for the zoom window, or see the exact size so we can chose the right one for each type of document. I do not know if it is already possible.
    For the moment, if I change the zoom window for some reason, I can't return to my preferred exact size after.

    I am sorry if this idea has already been proposed, I could not find it.

  4. If we could have two documents open at the same time within GoodNotes and then use drag and drop for moving, text, ink, etc...

    By split view I mean it needs to be like you get splitview on Safari on the iPad.

  6. Enabling strikethrough would give me the option of quickly deleting word(s) that I wrongfully entered. It saves me time compared to when I pick the eraser tool, erase items, and choose the pen tool again and then write.

  9. Can be used to cover portions of images such as screenshots. White would be the most useful.

  10. Like in Apples Keynote App, when connected to a beamer I have the posibiltiy to make annotations for the current slice. There are different colored pens and a kind of Laserpointer tool (a glowing red dot or so). This is great for demonstrating things, whithout manipulating the current slice.

    Same would be great for GoodNotes - as a teacher I use GoodNotes as a Replacement for the traditional board. At the moment I do a workaround by undoing the pencil strokes I made for showing things on the current sheet.

  11. Refining Handwriting.

    Now that Apple has introduced Smart Script, it is now the most appealing reason for someone who doesn’t have great penmanship to start writing notes again. I see that others have also brought this feedback. I hope Goodnotes will implement something similar or better. It will be the only reason for me to upgrade.

  13. It would be great to have the option to move a sticky note off to the side in the grey area. Some docs that I edit using goodnotes don’t allow enough space to add a sticky note sticker to the page and write on top of it.

  14. I love the new tape feature but I have A LOT of content that I need to tape over at a time! I would really love it if we had the option to make a box around what we want to tape and have the shape snap and fill in (like we have for the shape snap feature). My only other option currently is to make the pen as big as possible and color over an entire paragraph at once which has been very time consuming!

  19. With the new Apple Pencil pro, being able to control the menu that pops up with the squeeze function by rotating the pen and making use of the new barrel roll feature would allow for a much smoother and seamless experience.

  20. When typing in a double column, only the left column is used and the right column cannot be typed. Please improve the left column typing so that the right column typing can also be connected naturally.
