  1. i usually use Goodnotes for PDF so sometimes objects drawn with pen tool are difficult to see. therefore, i suggest new type of pen which has edged line like lazer tool.
    my another idea is adding wavy and double line to pen or shape tool. now i can draw only single lines to highlight words / sentences. However it seems there's lack of function. thus we need wavy and double line tool.

  2. Add this to suggestion box: make It easier to add a current page I am working on to the templates. Right now I have to export and then import back in and that is annoying and useless. Thanks.

  3. Sometimes I want to jot notes , but there isn’t enough empty space. Memo is nice but I dont want the memo to cover up the words in my document. Someone suggest expandable memo but then it may be easily missed when rereading the document.
    I suggest a feature where we can add memo at the side of the pdf (outside of margin), function is similar to expandable page but more aesthetic. and it can be chosen to show or dismiss with something like a sidebar option. When dismissed, just the original pdf will be shown. When the option is…

  5. The tool similar to the one they have on word ( either the remove background, or set to transparent tool) for images… because I love to make aesthetic notes and it is so time consuming having to manually remove the background on images of third party tools and then import them into my notes

  6. In the Lasso tool and in the Erase tool, it would be great if it could separate what is written with a pen and what is written with highlights. if I have a note that is highlighted but I need to edit the text, I can’t erase what I wrote because, it would erase the highlighter also. The same happens when I use the lasso tool. If the handwriting is selected, it will move both the highlighter and the pen text. And sometimes I just want to move the text only.

    If there is a separate tool for something, it…

  7. This feature would allow you to create a space between handwriting and images that have been placed on a page, allowing you to add more information.
    For example, let's say you have a numbered list:
    1. Add eggs
    2. Bake
    And perhaps you want to add something in between number one and two on the list, instead of having to erase number 2 or lasso it and move it down, imagine if one could simply tap between the two and push it down, similar to a feature that exists in onenote. This would make rapid edits and changes to a…

  12. I like the new feature where the outlines can be viewed in a side bar alongside the document. However I really wish I could have it that the outline title can wrap and go onto multiple lines instead of being cut off with ‘…’. Even though it would mean I have to scroll more to see all the outlines, I’d find it very useful to be able to read the full title I gave each page.

  14. Add the ability to display 2 pages at once as if it were an open book.

    It would be a massive advantage to read and annotate a 100+ page pdf, as information often continues from one page to the other and single page view is very limiting,

    This is the only reason preventing me from using this otherwise great app.

  15. I like how when the tapes are open, they look like highlighted texts, so I can read through the document without getting bothered by the tapes. And when I finally decide to quiz myself, I can just close them all at once.

  16. The page preview thumbnails are so small you can't really make out details, and the size of the thumbnails or the sidebar can't be customized. That makes it hard enough to navigate a notebook if you don't have an outline structure in place as it is, then then changing pages when you're in a zoomed in view kicks you over to the selected page at the center of the destination page.

    It gets annoying having to manually scroll up to verify the page title each time you move throughout the contents of a notebook.

  17. I would like to have an "AI Pencil Enhancement" option Pencil within the GoodNotes pencil bar. This feature would leverage AI to transform rough sketches into refined drawings with clean lines, consistent shapes, and enhanced details. Users could customize the level of refinement and choose from various drawing styles. Such as the Feature Apple presented from Apple Intelligence at WWDC 24.

  18. in my other app I have a great feature to remove the background from an image or photo with just one click. This option is great for keeping a bullet journal when you want to create your own stickers, but also useful for every user.

  20. I'm using Goodnotes on M1MacBookAir. I often copy and paste images but sometimes pasted images are converted original first pasting form. I would like you to fix this condition, in which edited images form will be saved permanently.
