  1. There are times we need to move all of our notes from one page to another. There should be a keystroke (such as Cmd-A... Mac) to Select All data entered on a page so it can be quickly copied/pasted.

  3. When scrolling within a PDF and then making annotations it’s convenient to change from single finger panning (on/off) to enhance scrolling and palm rejection. If single finger panning is on while making annotations, the page moves. But if it’s kept off, when it’s time to scroll, it’s a bit difficult when scrolling multiple pages with two fingers. An easily accessible toggle would be ideal.

  4. Please make it simpler to add/create notebooks; I am constantly struggling with finding the correct paper size/cover size. I wish it would just tell me what each page is set to (size-wise) so I can figure out which cover/paper to choose. Every time I set up a new one with specific configurations it makes a cover way smaller than the paper to write on on the next page or vice versa.

  5. When using Apple Pencil in OCR mode, the pencil menu offers return, keyboard. A delete key rather than undo (or both) would save having to open the keyboard and then close it again. A great app thank you.

  7. Hello there!
    I wanna ask you to change the word "move to trash" to something like "delete" or something like that, I don't like the fact that you say about some notes "trash".
    As you can know sometimes we delete a valuable note just because it is duplicated or some other reason not because it is a trash

  8. I frequently use different fonts for titles, the body of my text, subtitles, and also, depending on the notebook I am using. Could you create a feature that let us save more than one default text so that it is easier to change the format of the things I mentioned above? I find the lack of this feature to be the most frustrating thing with Goodnotes. Otherwise, I love the app. Thanks!

  12. I think the reason for so many questions about handwriting looking spidery or messy is that the sensitivity settings do not have a lower-bounds option. What I mean is that as well as the maximum pressure, there should also be the lowest pressure at which any pen creates any mark. I can just rest my stylus under it's own weight and it creates a clear mark. We should be able to adjust the lower bound setting so that we can control how firmly we have to press before any 'ink' is laid down.

    My writing in Procreate using the brushes…

  13. It would be wonderful to create a file (A) that allowed me to compile pages from many other documents/files (B, C, D.....) into file A's outline instead of copying and importing into file A. This would help tremendously with research papers and consolidating information on one topic from multiple sources.

  14. A system which allows the user to create a shortcut that when a word/shape is written/drawn, it is automatically replaced with a sticker that is premade.

    for examples:
    writing xyz would insert a axis system sticker created by the user and assigned to xyz

  15. I think it would be easier if we had an option that allowed us to choose which opaqueness we wanted instead of having to overlap the same area again and again. Especially for someone like me that wants the overlapped areas to line up perfect.

  16. When magnifying a pdf file in vertical scrolling state, if it is enlarged more than a certain percentage, it cannot be fixed to move left and right.

    I want to continue using the pdf file by enlarging it to fit the iPad's horizontal aspect ratio, but it's so inconvenient.

  17. Please bring back the DOUBLE LINE SPACING option from GoodNotes 4. Or an adjustable option that varies with the TYPE size entered. The default lines are TOO thin for proper writing for some of us.

  18. This is very annoying when reading over the stuff you wrote. My Apple Pencil is somehow very sensitive when it covers to double tap gestures, so this is a must have.

  20. As the University years go by, especially as a healthcare student with many lectures and modules, it would be incredibly beneficial to be able to have the search function within individual folders to avoid irrelevant information from different years and modules coming up when searching. This would greatly improve workflow. One thing I've noticed is that the more files you have the harder it is for the word/phrase search function to bring up all the results so being able to change/filter what folders to search would be good. It would also be good if this filter stayed until we changed…
