  1. When I write something on the picture I pasted, my palm always unintentionally touch the picture and the picture suddenly move. This happens in all devices. So it’s a system problem. Please fix this problem.

  3. When using the lasso tool to paste objects, it takes about 1 second for the options menu to appear.

    Since users typically don't stay on the same spot for longer than 0.5 seconds when using the lasso tool to select items, it makes sense to have a shorter wait time until the options appear.

    This would make copying and pasting many objects much faster.

    Thank you for considering this improvement!

  4. I use Goodnotes for reading academic papers in college and it would be very useful if I can take notes right next to paper, not in another notebook. So, when I open the pdf, I also want to see the side notes I took in the same page.

  5. It would be interesting to categorize color by category that we can edit, named and change. Goodnotes could also share palettes.

  6. It would be nice to have a function where the notes can be read out to the user as some people are better audio learners. It would also help with reviewing materials while on the go or for multi-tasking.

  7. Seamless page is especially crucial for moving images from one page to the other instead of needing to copy and paste if the image is on the wrong page.

  8. After writing down a paragraph in a specific color (lets say black), I would like the ability to select a tool (maybe one that looks like a lens) and would allow me to go back over the words I have already written and change their color to something else (such as blue or red). That way, I would no longer have to erase something and rewrite it in a new color. It is different from the highlight tool because I am not suggesting adding an additional color, rather I am suggesting the ability to change the color of these pen…

  9. Planning a novel needs so much space and specific cards, such as:

    • character development
    • scene structure
    • act structure
    • character profiles
    • chapter outline
    • plot outline
    • etc.

  10. Instead of having all of the colors next to one another, create a new way to organize the colors into different folders. This would make it easier to stick to a certain colors when using GoodNotes. While people would still have the option to have the colors side by side, allowing for some sort of organization folder would make it easier to find some colors and stick to those depending on the document being worked on.

  13. It will be extremely useful if the highlighter tool automatically snapped to the text in the document.

  14. In case of a big book it’s really hard to navigate through pages. Even though there is an option in the bar to switch to a different page, it is time taking. You can just add an icon below or allow the user to tap the page number notification below to quickly switch to a particular page number as in Xodo and other apps. Otherwise it’s really time consuming.

  15. As a digital journaller/planner, I want to be able to insert photos and then crop them into a perfect shape eg square, circle etc. I haven’t found a way to do this in Goodnotes.

  16. At the moment, it is a two step process to return to the normal eraser after using the highlighter only erase.

    It would be much more simple if the pop-up message had the option to disable the highlighter only erase, rather than the current pop-up where there is only the options to go to the settings or ignore.

  17. When inserting a photo, most of the time I just want it to span from left to right while keeping it’s aspect ratio / proportions. Currently, scaling a photo is scaling it from it’s center. This results in the necessity for several resizes and drags to match the page border left and right.

    I suggest an option to just hit a button in the context menu to scale the picture to a size where it‘s borders automatically align with the page borders!

    An alternative would be to add the option to scale a picture from it‘s corner, rather than it‘s…

  18. 1) while copying and pasting text from one document to other opened in same window ,in addition to providing dedicated copy paste option , add a drag and drop feature
    2) if we have to copy and paste multiple times then everytime it switches tool to text styling and it disturbs the work flow and affects productivity ....it would be better if tool selection in every tab can be fixed , so we dont have to swicth tool from text styling to any other for copying again

  19. Someone who's learning Japanese may face the same problem as me. Every time I need to write/insert the Furigana (pronunciation of Kanji) manually for the Kanji that I don't know how to read. It would be great if there's a button to do that automatically like MS Word and ios Pages.

  20. This has been suggested by many users, including myself. Please add the ability to change the folder colors—it can’t be that hard to add. Please, it will also add to the organization. I’m begging you.
