  1. If we select some page on a page and do not deselect it, I cannot select text on another page. First, I have to go to the original page deselect the page by clicking elsewhere, and then select text on another page.
    I use GoodNotes on iPad when I want to write something, but for just reading and highlighting, and underlining I use the monitor. I feel the experience on the macOS app related to highlighting and underlining can be improved a lot.

  2. Please make it so that we can multi-select any file when importing. I am trying to use the new collections button to start my own sticker book that can be accessed on any page or notebook but it will not let me select multiple png images from my Files! It also won’t let me upload whole folders with the png images in them. I have to instead save them all to my camera roll and then uplosd them there!

  3. I use a lot of screenshot capture using a noose.
    In this case, the image quality drops a lot.

    I wish it could be modified to convert the PDF into an image.
    In this case, an image of 300 dpi will be less degraded. 600dpi is great.

  4. It would be awesome if eraser could erase parts of images i paste in. It would make edits to a scan or a screenshot so much easier. Currently i have to lasso a blank part of the page, take a screenshot of that empty blob and paste it over where i want to erase. Allowing the eraser to actually edit the pasted image would be really slick.

  5. When I’m drawing a function like on a graph it would be helpful if i could just draw a parabola without it being ruined or not proper.

  6. as of now, it’s a fairly standard text input box, but i’d love if we could have the functionality of Pages, where it’s already formatted for text

  7. As someone with hand tremors, it is difficult to get things like text boxes and pictures and doodles into position easily. It would be nice if I could select an item, move it close to the desired position, then nudge it up/down/left/right with the arrows on the keyboard.

    • I know tapping on the screen deselects, so I am not sure how to accomplish this with gestures when there isn’t a keyboard... maybe drag the selection with one finger and hold down another finger to allow you to tap outside the selection to nudge it in that direction...

    The option to…

  9. It would be very usefull if it was added a color selector, much like paint as it. for example you are using someone else notes or writing or a preexisting template, it would be very helpful if you could select the color of something that written already and start using the same color to write

  10. When you would like to change the colour of the second colour stack an you are already in the first stack you can't double-tab onto the second coulor stack to change it.
    E.g. you already write in the coulour black in your document. Then you would like to have the colour blue (but you don't have it on the other colour stacks) then you would like to change the colour immediately and you doubletab onto the second coulour stack but this does not work.

  11. I would like a function with which you can get to a specific place in a notebook by clicking on a text box or a shape. That the form or font is linked to the specified position.

  12. If we can use dual window in portrait mode, it will very useful and convenient.
    Many students want this function.
    Apple didn't provide top&bottom split view, but if 'GoodNotes' provide this autonomously in software, I will love you guys and girls.

  13. Be able to create and switch between multiple user profiles. For example, you could have a profile for personal notes and another for your classes.

    Alternatively: include options in universal search to restrict results to only notes within certain folders. Offer more search filters. This would essentially achieve the same result as separating notes/folders by profile

  14. Please enable handwritten fonts and assisted themes for the whole app (Like a system font), which we can choose to set, after submitting a PDF of our work as a token of thanks. We can choose from available fonts and themes on the GoodNotes website, and activate them by submitting our work as an inspiration for other or new users.

  16. I currently „struggle“ a lot with this.
    What I mean is, it would be nice if you are able to cut of the end of your paper. For example, in school you have to work on a task and write something down but the next task is a document. Then there’s a lot of space between the handwritten task and the document.
    It would be great if you could be able to shorten the page and not just change the layout, because I often don‘t know in the beginning if I have to use a whole page or just a…

  17. Hi there.
    It would be useful to have better integration with Apple shortcuts. For example, something simple like "email document to this sender" would make workflows more efficient. I'm often emailing documents to one particular sender, so by having a single button to press to email a document to the same sender would be beneficial. Other examples would be to import documents to Goodnotes, or export them to a folder.

  18. Please add a feature that puts text on top of the highlight whenever text is highlighted. Currently, only black colored writing shows up on top of the highlight. With any other color, the highlight goes on top of the words, which means when I write new text, the color of the words look uneven. Thanks.

  19. It is very annoying to me that the text mark-ups I make to a pdf get auto-formatted (e.g., inserted capitalisation I do not want because the text goes to a new line). If I could turn this feature off easily I would do it in a heartbeat. I type what I want to type, and changing it in front of my eyes is incredibly annoying, particularly as it is hard to edit text boxes in general.
