  5. Highlighter Curve Toggle (Straight Lines Only)

    Please add a toggle to highlighter to disable converting drawn lines to rounded curves (Not to toggle shapes in general, just, like, boomerang shapes).

    I use GoodNotes for all my text book reading, annotating, and long text and drawing heavy physics homework assignments. My hand isn't the most steady and one of my biggest frustrations when using the highlighter with "Draw in Straight Line" toggle activated is when an actual ~1/3 of all my highlighted lines turn into swoopy curves instead of straight lines; which I then need to undo and redraw at least one more time instead of continuing…

  6. Move further the page in zoom window.

    Make us able to drag the page further in zoom window. It’s hard to write at the end of the page.

  7. Have better colour match between pen and highlighter

    Sometimes when you use the same hexcode the colours between the pen and highlighter don't match, I then end up messing around with colours until the match better, would love if the highlighter matched more :)

  9. Scroll acceleration

    We need faster accelerated scrolling like Apple Notes, Margin Note or even the default PDF viewer app in the Files app. The scrolling speed of files in GoodNotes feels like my pages are stuck in mud, requiring me to use multiple long swipe gestures across the iPad to scroll down/up faster and reach my desired location. I noticed that multiple swipes also doesn't 'accelerate' the speed, which isn't an issue on other apps that I mentioned above or Apple native apps like Notes and Safari. Please implement this. Thanks.

  10. Reminder entry with handwritten notes

    Many people use good notes for planner or as a diary. It would be very helpful one could add a reminder entry or calendar entry during taking notes . For example just button that shows entry of reminder at that place. Also reminder app will have an entry so that it will notify you when needed. Perhaps as a separate purchase. Like pencil planner app in app store.

  11. Editable PDF backgrounds and more customization

    I suggest a more customizable range of template colors, that can also be used to replace preexisting backgrounds on imported PDFs.
    I also think it would be a good idea to be able to customize the color theme of the entire app.

  12. Presentation mode in split screen

    I use GoodNotes for teaching (and it‘s great for that). However I‘d love widgets like timers for students. I use classroomscreen.com for timers and soundlevel sensors, which are oddly specific requirements for teachers. So I don‘t think features like these will be implemented.
    If I could use the presentation mode while in splitscreen, I could show timers/other widgets on one side, while not losing space in my GoodNotes document. Also I don‘t want students to see messages popping up on my screen.

  14. Thicker textmarker

    Allow a thicker textmarker. The 7.7 mm aren't enough for some slides.
    I also use sometimes the textmarker for highlighting something by holding the marker for a perfekt rectangular - and therefore it also should be possible to make a thicker line.

  16. Have two open pages in ONE window (double sided)

    As a Student, I use GoodNotes every day. So it‘s normal for me, that I have to use the double window mode. But this is a little bit problematic, if the two windows are the same document. It happens very often, that I have to copy some things from one to the other window, and like this that makes things complicated. You have to do so many things, just to copy something.
    If there would be the opportunity to have two sides, next to next, in one window (provided that it’s the same document), i would be way easier to…
