  1. Create "slide" paper option. That creates a notebook where every page is a slide that can be exported as a slide show.

  2. Please let the lasso tool have a double feature so complicated drawings don't have to be drawn again but just be copied and pasted or doubled. This feature would be a lifesaver for all the students!

  3. If I select an area with the lasso, e.g. a math drawing such as a triangle , I want to double it sometimes because I often need it multiple times but right now I have to draw it again because there's no feature to double it. So it would be nice to get the 'double' feature on the lasso tool. This is really needed for all students!

  4. Dear Team,

    just as the most video apps you can convert via one button to a "fullscreen" option. This would be great for the writing paper to have one button on the top right to activate a fullscreen option for that the page you are writing on fits perfektly with only slight bezels left and right but still keeps all tool functions on the top pinned. Also this funktion shall then only allow to scroll as you have setup the scrolling direction. Yes, a double tap on the paper converts to the "fullscreen" option but doesn't lock on to that…

  5. Quick paste of preset text templates e.g.

    Template text = "This is my heading {date:dd MMM yyyy}"

    Clicking the template would paste the text into the note and allow you to drag it into position.

    The date field would auto fill with the current date formatted as per the format text.

    Other data fields could be supported like: time, user information, formulas, numbering, etc.

  10. Current state of the art in remote proctoring of exams is for students to be monitored via a webcam by a real person. As the exam is uploaded there is still room to cheat or to have someone else impersonate you. Handwritten exams have to be scanned at the end for upload. This service is not really available right now due to the lockdown and Universities are scrambling to find solutions that any way secure.
    If you write out your exam via goodnotes and you can record the forward facing cam and attach the two as a file this might…

  11. Have the option to have multiple default text font options like Notability does. Having to change each time to make a different font or font size is very tedious so having the option to have some preset font options in font style and size will make Goodnotes unbeatable!

  16. Please add the feature to Read and write a comments on imported PDF documents. Allow this feature in general as not everything can be written in a single page and this feature will allow to put little details on a small box which only opens when clicked. This is also great for productivity.

  17. I want the highlighter function to have option to work like eraser—use once and then automatically ‘snap back’ to writing tool. I often am writing, then want to highlight one thing, and immediately go back to writing, and when I do that a lot, clicking back on writing tool becomes a pain.

  18. First of all, I wanted to propose an improvement to the pencil, asking for more types of strokes like a real pencil. A good example is the apple notes, which are very realistic and good. Improve compatibility with Apple Pencil, being able to tilt it and make it thicker, the example is the same as the previous one.
    Secondly, I wanted to propose a new tool that can insert links into a note that takes us directly to the browser.
    I also wanted to propose that they join the Apple Files app, so you can open them directly from there.…

  19. For example, tapping the pen icon will open the pen menu. Tapping that icon again does not close the menu, but it should.

  20. It would be great if you could disable the automatic synchronization feature for a certain selected file. Thereby, huge files can be stored only on the device that has enough storage.
