  1. Love the copy / paste function with the lasso. But often the lasso does not catch everything of a written line, some little fragments are not copied. So I have to go back and set the lasso again to catch all fragments. Very nerving. It would be great if you could do copy / paste with the eraser too. Meaning everything from your last erase will be automatically copied to the clipboard. Then you can tap&hold to paste with the regular pencil, just like pasting with the lasso.

  3. Please add the option to select and copy parts of the inserted image using the lasso tool.
    For example: if there’s an image with 12 numbers in it and you want to use each of the numbers separately, you should be able to lasso each of them and copy it to the same page, instead of having to make multiple copies of the same image and having to crop each one of them to become a single number you need.

  4. imrpoved text processing like oneNote, Notes, pages or word.
    please add more text processing features for use on macs like writing on a page without the limiting textbox, list features etc.
    goal: preparing notes during a phonecall with the keyboard, adding texts, lists or preparing a meeting summary directly in GN instead of preparing in Notes or other apps and pasting it to GN afterwards.
    this is the reason our workflow still relies on other party apps instead of organizing everything in GN.
    love to see more macbook - keyboard/mouse text processing features!

  5. Instead of having to add a tag word on each document and then exclude the tag, make a checkbox option. This should be available for folders and individual documents. Default would be backup.

  8. I'm currently taking a math class and the exam reviews don't leave sufficient space underneath the text so I can work out the problem. So it would be really efficient if we could add a white space or whatever is preferred, right below where we need space to write in. I know we could just add a page, but there's usually more than like 8 problems per page that I don't want to waste time writing out separately.

  9. When you import custom templates, the zoom window return height doesn't change even when you change its value to a similar value that the other default templates of the same size have. For example, I import A3 templates and even though I change the height to ~30, the zoom window always jumps way lower, a whole unit of its height below, instead of just a line like in the default goodnotes templates.

    Many users import custom made templates and it gets inefficient always having to place the window where it should be.

  11. So, I personally think the app is getting better but, recently the feature that allowed us to draw straight lines, circles, arrows, graphs, etc have changed a little bit. It is less fluent and I can’t do 2 lines that will stick together automatically for example. Which I was able to do in the past. So it is impossible for me now to draw straight arrows or graphs which is quite frustrating because I used to use these features a lot. Now the lines are straight BUT no longer automatically horizontal or vertical you know ? You can maybe add…

  13. a template group can have a lot of templates, which can make it difficult to still have an organised overview. when putting templates into folders within a template group, it can make it easier to find and pick the desired template.

  15. When using the shape tool, make it so that when the line is relatively close to horizontal, make it snap into perfectly horizontal. Underlining pdf's is hard when all the straight lines are slightly slanted. I think this worked until the update 3 days ago. Thanks.

  16. A tool (like in a CAD software) to find the next line intersection and trim the selected line. Example- if you have a handwritten 'X' , selected this tool, and tapped the top right section of the line going bottom left to top right, it would look like 'λ'

  17. when many tabs are opened, it becomes harder to maintain a good overview. I suggest the option of putting tabs of documents together in a group or stack, so that I can now work on other documents, but still can reopen the other tabs fast without having to close them before.
    For example: I‘m working on my physics homework and my answer and exercise sheets are opened. But also, I do have to take a look from time to time into the maths and physics theory notes, but not often, and still, they are using up a lot of tab…
