  1. Right now, I can only see 1 page at a time if I zoom all the way out. Can we have extended zoom so we can see 2+ pages at a time? On a larger screen, it'll make better use of the space. As of now, I just get a big blown up view of a single page.

  2. I would love to have the ability to move a photo across page boundaries (especially in continuous vertical scroll mode) so that one doesn't have to lasso, copy, paste to move the photo to the next or previous page.

  5. Es wäre sehr gut, wenn man in GoodNotes - ähnlich wie in Office - die Linienarten einstellen könnte. Also z.B. eine gestrichelte Linie für das Zeichnen von verdeckten Linien. Oder auch die Strich-Punkt-Linie für eine Symmetrieachse.

  6. It’s very frustrating that as I work with my self made planner that there is no way to add additional links to other pages within goodnotes. Some people may even like to be able to link to websites.
    I think it’s far too long overdue so I hope you start adding this feature soon. It would be nice to add a link tool to an added image , click on it and link it to another page.

  8. To me, changing template for one page at a time is inconvenient. Like Notability, GoodNotes should have the opportunity to change templates for all pages in the document without having to do this manually, one page at a time. I’d like to see this added in a future update.

  9. After a screenshot is done, and we've resized it down, and we make another copy ... it would be awesome to have that 2nd copy be the same size of the previous (which we cropped ourselves) rather than the very 1st original copy.

  10. A lot of people would agree that fountain pen in Goodnotes, while still very good, lags behind the competition (Noteshelf, Notability).
    I think adding texture or random shading, similar to what you can see in real fountain pens, to the fountain pen stroke will greatly improve its visual. Addition of stub nib effect will also improve writing experience.
    Thank you,

  11. first idea:
    One may think. The share of the target group that uses KEYBOARD shortcuts most probably uses also text boxes (are terrible due to lack of formatink like notability but that idea is already in the top listing her). But when you are „in a textbook“ you cannot hit shortcuts nor can you tab out of a text. Why not make „ESC“ let the textbook unselect or press ⌘ to force other shortcuts. sometime i will change text box mode to pen mode but the short cut does not work. I have to tap with the finger out of…

  13. Allow images to be moved behind text layers, even if the image has been inserted after the text.

    Currently, if one selects drawings with the lasso and moves them over an image, they dissappear behind it.

  14. I am studying Spanish, and I usually write the English translation of vocabularies in my GoodNotes Notebook. But the notebook can only recognize one of the languages which are sometimes a bit chaotic when I am trying to look for particular vocabularies. Thanks.

  15. Changing between tool is nice but I would love to see an option that would switch between the pen colour instead.

  16. If you press return it also deletes content from pages you are not at the moment, sometimes you tap it once or twice too often, just to find out later that you accidentally deleted stuff from the previous page.

  17. Some time I use GoodNotes for test practicing, and I snap screen some test questions to another Note, then writing answers, when I want re-test, I have to use eraser to erase handwriting, cause I want those pic of "Questions" not be erased, so I wonder if you can add a function to filter 'quick erase hole page'
    thanks

  18. I have two different App Store accounts! I got a new IPad and had no idea I was using a separate account from my phone. How can I switch between accounts within the app to access everything I have on my iPad when I am using my phone?

  19. Sidebar Favorites Drop Down

    Please make it to where, at least on GoodNotes for Mac, the Favorites selection in the sidebar drops down into a tree. This way, we can quickly access those favorites and/or drag files from one folder, directly into a favorited folder.
