  1. The typing experience on Mac is far behind the competition (Notability) at the moment. Unfortunately, the text-box tool is not working out. It would be much better to have the option to type within certain template lines. As a student, it would be great to be able to more easily switch between writing on my iPad and typing on my Mac. Please consider this because I know a lot of people stick to other apps because GoodNotes lacks this feature. It would truly push this amazing app from great to beyond excellent if I could have all my notes in…

  2. I use a lot of colors, and sometimes want to color match something. A color matching tool that can let me hover on an image or text and just get the exact color it’s written or drawn in without trying and failing to color match it perfectly.

  3. It would be genius to be able to use the Präsentation mode for screen recording.
    So that you don‘t have to see the toolbar in the videos afterwards.

  4. for using the Text tool with an Apple Pencil, add some movement or mark that indicates "new line" or "paragraph." Currently I must stop writing, open the keyboard and tap "return" when perhaps some Pencil gesture could accomplish this.

  6. I am enjoying the app and the features of being able to create different notebooks! I draw little squares a lot to indicate To Dos. It would be beneficial to create an option for this that recognizes it as a To Do and aggregates all of them in the front page or front cover of the notebook or somewhere in the app.

    Being able to enter dates and being able to skip to a date would be helpful as well.

    Great app! Simple to use. Saves me at least $45/year in good notebooks. You could charge more than you do.

  7. I am using GoodNotes for work. I have multiple notebooks covering different topics, and sometimes certain points would be relevant in multiple notebooks.

    Was thinking that an ability to ‘twin’ a page to another notebook would be helpful. Not just a link, but twinning. For illustration,

    Notebook A has pages A1, A2, A3.
    Notebook B has pages B1, B2, B3.

    Now, I can twin page A2 into Notebook B, so its pages become
    B1, B2, A2, B3. Notebook A remain as A1,A2,A3

    After twinning, Whatever changes made in NotebookB, page A2 will be reflected in Notebook A and vice versa.

  8. One thing that would be great is a way that the page can be locked into place when zoomed in and using vertical scroll.

    When I take notes, I use an A4 page and double click to zoom it in and write. But one thing that annoys me so much is sometimes my hand or arm will touch the page and then the page will be shifted to the left or right.

    I propose a small lock button that allows you to lock a page in place, from moving left or right, but still keeps the vertical scroll.

  9. Goodnotes has available in its pop-up store: "Hexagonal Grid: Draft Papers" which features a hexagonal grid. However, because line snapping only works at 45° angles, there is no useful line snapping for this grid, which makes is somewhat useless as a template. It would be great (and I imagine very easy to implement) if there was a toggle in settings to access 30° line snapping.

  11. Its a pain to move pages by dragging them if you have 500+ pages. Can we get a way to move multiple pages at one time in a single journal?

  12. If you notice, the sticker expansion and edit ‘square’ is a lot bigger than the sticker itself. It does allow you to write right below the sticker, but if you try to ‘lasso’ the text, it ends up selecting the sticker too.

    I hope the screenshot can help.

  13. Beeing able to leave certain files locked in read only mode while having others in editing mode would be a nice adition to the app. For example when I have both a textbook and a writing page opened I would like to scroll with my pencil on the textbook and write normally on the page, without having to turn on and off the edit mode.

  14. I often prefer using the undo feature over switching to the eraser tool and requiring two taps per undo often makes it feel like I have to play a button-mashing Mario party mini game just to delete the last word I wrote.

  15. For note taking I usually use black, red, blue, and one other color. It's difficult to keep up with a professor with change one of the colors to the other. So I wish there was another color selection in the toolbar. Also, the option for more toolbar customization would be nice. I don't use some of the features all the time, so being able to hide them would be nice

  17. Have a choice to upload many photos from our library and on the + page to make a file. So far, we can only add one at a time, but it will be more convenient if we could choose multiple at a time as well.

  18. After selecting an object or text it should pop-up the option or duplicating the item instead of having to copy and paste it. This function would help a lot in efficiency, please work on it...

  19. There should be an option where you can upload a powerpoint and it would format it as 3 slides per page on the left with room for notes on the right side. That way you don't have to write everything that the teacher says, but can hilight the things they emphasize.

  20. An existing page(main page) must have options to add side pages which can be used to have more information for a topic/content present on the main page.

    Basically using the side pages as rough workspace to note down more info of a particular topic present on the main page where the side pages can be hidden when not needed.

    Example:
    1) An equation on the main page and its derivation on the side pages(collapsable/hidden pages) that can be accessed whenever required and can be hidden away when not required.

    2)A formula on the main page and sample problems and solutions…
