  2. Please allow a setting to save custom colour choices for every time use. I like I have to change the colour palate options everytime to my needed colours before I can write a new note. I mean there should be an option to create on colour palate and save it for later use and not just the default you have provided.

  3. Now, one has to go all the way to the left to bring out the page finder, choose one out of the small preview hoping I got the right one, because if not I’ll have to bring out the finder again and repeat until I find the page. This is incredibly unintuitive and time-consuming. Please move the page finder button to the right and allow preview on the sidebar with the selected page in the main window to allow easy page finding. Notability already does that. My preferred app is GoodNotes, so fingers crossed this will be updated soon.

  5. After years of use and many tens of gigbytes of content, my ipad is full from goodnotes content. I dont want to delete older notes because I occasionally refer to them. I request allowing us to selectively sync some content to our devices and allow older content to be stored in the cloud and downloaded when needed directly within the app.

  6. Currently the only way to favourite a document is from the file browser. It would be very handy to be able to favourite from within an already open document.

    Also the star/favourite button on thumbnails is not present in search results.

  7. It would be great if you could design your own font (create every single letter by yourself), and then have your fast (bad looking) handwriting converted into your carefully designed letters. That way it would guarantee beautiful handwriting even tough you are in a hurry.

  8. currently, there are only three colors appear and if we want to change to a different color we would have to click the option menu to change the color. I think it would be better to add 2 more colors,

  10. I would be happy if the precise eraser could be adjusted again. But it is at least as important to create a “color bucket tool”, so that surfaces can be colored faster. TY!

    I‘d be soooooo grateful, because I already LOVE this app. Better than any other

  11. For example, I want to see how a sorting algorithm works but it’s hard to see the steps by making a bunch of graphs. So being able to make a small animation will help visualize how something works without having to create a bunch of pages

  12. I love the app for studying and editing documents but I think the app is missing big features that would solidify its spot as the best note taking app in the App Store. The features that I feel would make the app 10x better: gifs, other short video replays, bigger library of stickers, different pen styles, dotted or other style lines, and more templates. Some of these are such easy add ons that it really doesn’t make sense why the developer haven’t done something about this already. Especially when countless other users have asked more these.

  13. Using elements is fantastic, however, I would like to be able to crop from the lasso tool. Right now, if I place a calendar block and need to change the size, I have to select element, which then auto-selects the lasso tool. To crop an element, I then have to select the image, which brings up the image selector on the page, then click off of that, and then select crop. It adds so many extra steps. Why not just have the crop option from the lasso tool? It would save so many steps!

  14. I'd really like a way to set up Outlines for our notebooks so that each section has its own subsection. The subsection would be linked altogether (e.g., Chapter 1 is one, Chapter 2 is another, etc.)

    That way, we could more easily drag and drop to reorder things in our notebook instead of having to tediously do each slide one-by-one!

  17. When saving my text default I’d like “centered” to save as well instead of always going back to left justification

  18. Allow me to select text, eg my page heading like (meeting to discuss projected financial) and then click on a button which shoots the page heading to an automatically generated table of contents in the front of the Notebook. Table of contents will be built using all the specified headings, and should also display date of that entry for easy reference. This would be a great help to business people. A next step that can be contemplated is to have GoodNotes access my calendar and paste a link to the entry in the notes of my meeting planner, so that…

  20. Lasso tool can also change stroke/tool of the already written note. We should be able to change it from Fountain Pen to Brushed one. And, lasso tool can be used in fine shape form like we can in Notability
