  2. It would be so fantastic and handy if there is a painting tool to write show/hidden text. We can use it while writing notes to write keywords, saving time to new a “Flash Card”.

  3. Hi. I LOVE the addition of elements to Goodnotes. This has increased my user experience ten fold!

    One Request: I often am zoomed way in when I'm taking notes, so I have a larger screen surface and more notes on a page. It would be helpful if when adding a saved element to a page, the element is placed where you are zoomed in, versus in the center of the page. Or, have the ability to use the lasso tool to circle an area, and add the element to that area.

    Having to zoom out, grab the element, and drag…

  4. In the iPad version, bookmarks and the outline appear as a pop-up, but it would be more convenient if they could appear as a side menu, the same way they appear in the MacOS version.

    This would enhance navigation in the iPad version as we can then keep the bookmark/outline bar open to quickly move to different sections of a file, and then close the side-menu when not needed.

  5. I read a lot of research papers and sometimes want to summarize a paragraph in the margins. However, the margins are often too small to do that. It would be nice to convert the A4 paper to A3, or just an option to add a few centimeters on each side.

  6. Please an easier way to upload a Custom notebook cover when creating a new notebook. This should not be an elaborate process of exiting and entering a new window area to edit templates or require a tutorial.
    The cover should be easy to upload from phone or desktop and includes auto cropping /resizing of the image.
    Please compare to Zoho Notes and how easy it is to create custom notebook covers and also how images are stored as templates to re-use for new notebooks as well.

  8. I have been using GoodNotes for over two months now. The only thing I would point to as poor is the text input/editing functions. Please add a few basic options such as Bullet Point, Check Box, and Tables.

    GoodNotes is my favorite note-taking app, but the text function could be improved a little more.

  9. When using an Apple Pencil with the lasso tool, if I get too close to the edge of the page I frequently go just beyond the edge, causing the lasso tool to think that's the end of the lasso area selection. This typically does not result in the desired area being selected.

    Instead of terminating the lasso area selection when going out-of-bounds, snap the lasso selection to the page boundary and continue lasso area selection.

    (This seems to be the behavior of the macOS app when using the lasso tool with mouse. It would be good to enable similar behavior…

  13. Being able to fold a part of a page or a full page, akin to toggle list in notion. That would be immensely useful.

  14. Please consider to add a huge sheet as an option (bigger than A0). That would be great (like OneNote has it) .A really big sheet (with lines or squares) where you can brainsorm and load pictures and other pdf in it. if you add a pdf the sheet will get bigger.
    This would also be great for students who have a big script and want to add note to the side of the document insead of adding new pages

  15. It's difficult to adjust the line spacing with the scroll bar because my finger isn't accurate enough so I would like to be able to adjust it by putting the line spacing value in. Thanks

  16. everytime I go to type out a text box I get cock blocked by the pencil to text. I enjoy using my apple pencil to move my text boxes and the pencil to text option is something I do not really like nor wanted. An option to get to this feature on or off would be awesome!

  17. It would be great to be able to import a calendar event into a note like OneNote can. It would save time having to write that info down as well as be a good search tool.

  20. when downloading new apps in Apple os like ios, it shows a blue sign that it's new.

    if a yellow circle shows that it's uploading and disappear after the upload is done. it helps users to know which device is slow in responding.
