  1. I have imported my own font to use, however, I am unable to use it as fast and efficiently as I wish because every time I create a new text box it goes to the standard font style and size

  3. 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.

  4. Change the lasso tool so that it separates images and elements.
    So it would have:
    'Handwriting'
    'Images'
    'Elements'
    'Text boxes'
    in the options for what you can select.
    Because when im trying to move a small element on a large image, it moves them both which is not what i want to do.

  5. When I have a note open, I would like to see the tabs at the top in alphabetical order, and sometimes in least-recently-used order.

    Right now, I never understand how they are sorted, but, in any case, they are not sorted in a useful way.

  6. Please, the dark blue menu bar, while in drawing mode, is pretty distracting, and the number one reason I almost didn't stick to goodnotes..
    At least make it dark grey or plain light white, or at least create a number of some new inter-changeable menu designs, that we could "buy" in the app, if not for free...Dark mode doesn't help here..

  7. Be able to create and switch between multiple user profiles. For example, you could have a profile for personal notes and another for your classes.

    Alternatively: include options in universal search to restrict results to only notes within certain folders. Offer more search filters. This would essentially achieve the same result as separating notes/folders by profile

  8. Kindle and Pdf Expert both have sepia modes for reading pdf/texts. These make a big difference in terms of eye comfort. I'm avoiding using GoodNotes because it lacks this feature.

  9. It could be good that if the pen cursor of GoodNoted 5 for Mac is changed to the cursor in OneNote (simply a small dot instead of a cross).

  10. I think that needs to be an essential part of the app, the current eraser eliminates more than its surface area, which makes it extremely annoying.

  11. The performance of writing in GoodNotes 5 for Mac with a third-party drawing tablet/graphic tablet is terrible. I use a Wacom Intuos Pro S with bluetooth function and there is no chance to write properly as it stutters all the time.
    GoodNotes is no use for students/teachers if you can't work with a pen tablet and that's why I hope it will be updated soon.
    Until this happens, I have to use Microsoft OneNote, although I prefer the surface and workflow of GoodNotes.

  12. It would be awesome if eraser could erase parts of images i paste in. It would make edits to a scan or a screenshot so much easier. Currently i have to lasso a blank part of the page, take a screenshot of that empty blob and paste it over where i want to erase. Allowing the eraser to actually edit the pasted image would be really slick.

  13. 目前使用的mac端goodnote存在严重的掉帧问题,尤其是在放大缩小页面,以及垂直滚动时,只有过降低app分辨率来缓解,但依旧卡顿

    无论是ipad还是mac,使用触控板双指上下滑动页面时,无法停顿(打断滑动),其他app在页面滑动过程中若再次将双指放到触控板上,滑动便会被打断。goodnote无法做到这点,这导致需要大量翻页时十分难受。

  14. Dublicate selection by select, hold, drag and let go. Like copy and paste but quicker.
    And please add one favourite colour icon so there are 4!

  15. I write my notes in the black template with some white writing and it's impossible to print my notes this way. Having a feature that automatically identified white text in the selected pages and also changed the template would be so helpful for the process of printing!

  16. It would be awesome to have “snap to” guide lines on the page to paste text lined up evenly on the edge (or wherever) on the page. I like to copy inspirational quotes and Bible verses and add them to my “Notebook”…it would be great if they could be lined up easily without adding to existing text boxes so they can easily be rearranged at any time.

  17. Hello, I am a Korean student who is using the GoodNotes very well. If I write Korean with a pen, my handwriting gets ugly. But If you take notes with laser points, your handwriting gets way much prettier!! If you add a pen that has the exact same writing experience as the laser point, I think I'll be able to use the GoodNotes very happily. Thank you!

  18. I use a lot of screenshot capture using a noose.
    In this case, the image quality drops a lot.

    I wish it could be modified to convert the PDF into an image.
    In this case, an image of 300 dpi will be less degraded. 600dpi is great.

  20. Insert Stickers in the center of the current view. Currently it’s centered on your current page, so you always have to zoom out, lasso it, pull it to your view area and then zoom in to improve the alignment.
