  1. Lasso tool selection

    I am a student studying in Korea. When studying with a good note, if you move the handwriting with the lasso, I hope that the highlight and handwriting will be separately selected.

  3. Changing Color when typing

    when typing notes, I use different colors to signify different things, but I consistently have an issue where when I click to change the color the command is just ingnored. I have to either close the document or shut down the whole app. It’s very frustrating and I’m doing school work for 8+ hours a day and can’t handwrite it all. recently it’s also started just randomly changing the color or even the font size a couple of times while I’m typing. I know that Goodnotes is primarily for handwriting, but it’s the app I prefer for note taking and…

  4. Better ideas for the conversion of text

    When you convert text from handwriting, I wish we could change the font, size, etc and putting the text block in a certain area without having to copy and paste.

    1. embedding files formates like excel, video, tone, and some others
    2. timestambs for each note (Date and Time) choosable
    3. usage off Apples Apps Reminder and Calendar
    4. Fileviewer for different formats
    5. really ToDo list with all necessary functionality (not as a PDF Template)
    6. delegation with @ sign
    7. Possiblity to structur a text like Numbering, intent text, etc
    8. Embedding Mindmap tools
    etc

  6. Better textboxes

    The current text box makes it impossible to accurately resize, move, or highlight text (and with an Apple Pencil, scribble) without accidentally doing one of the other things. It is ridiculously difficult especially with small text boxes and this is because the resize and move are so close to the text and each other. I find it very difficult to move text because I can’t “grab” the box in the first place.

    Notability has a much better text box so I think this is extremely possible to change.

  7. Support for Presentation Clickers

    I 'd like to use GoodNotes on the Ipad for in-class teaching, mostly for presenting slides and occasionally writing notes on them. To my experience, GoodNotes does not support presentation clickers to move between slides. That would be a nice feature to have.

  8. Erasing a Section Faster

    I would love to see an erase feature added where you just circle around a specific section/word/etc. Then just click inside the invisible circle drawn and all of the stuff inside the circle erases. Sorta like how old smart boards did.

  10. Make use of the RAM in iPad pro and keep more tabs in the memory

    When more than three documents are open at the same time the pages keep reloading when you cycle between them. Super annoying as it takes extra time, and the page zooms to default size. The iPad can keep apps running in the background for weeks without reloading so I’m pretty sure it could manage many more than three simple documents opened simultaneously.

  11. Microphone into Bluebox

    Hi all,

    has anyone worked with mics into the bluebox yet? I usually work with live vocals a lot and try to avoid taking a dedicated submixer for the microphones to a live set. So I was thinking something like the iRig Pre to boost the mic signal. But I'm not sure if the Bluebox inputs work with the TRRS jacks that are mostly for phones/tablets.

    Any experiences here?

    Thank you!

  12. Different workspaces

    It would be nice to have different workspaces. Sometimes you have some material from a course and maybe you want review it in the future, but when you have a lot of material is a mess, because everything is mixed. For example on my degree in my 4 years, I have subjects that maybe I don't need to review actually and I've tagged or marked pages, when I mark new pages when I go to marked pages or favourites I can find all the content mixed. I would like to see what is marked or tagged in my actual workspace.…

  14. More markers

    I would really love to have a favorites marker bar that can be moved around or even just more options than just three colors in the dock. It would help alot to switch between highlighters faster.

  15. Double tap the screen with lasso tool to copy selection

    If you have a selection it would be nice to be able to just double tap the selection on the screen to copy it. Then if you double tap the screen outside the selection it will paste. Would make the process quicker and less tedious when copying a lot.

    Just to make it clear, I'm not saying double tap the pencil, I am saying double tapping the screen with the pencil.

  16. Ability to add margins to your document when exporting

    When exporting handwritten notes or handwritten assignments, it would be very helpful to be able to add margins after the fact so that it can be printed and/or graded. I often write to the very edge of the screen and this neither looks good nor is practical if I want to print and put in a binder. This is a feature Notability has and one of the only things I like better about that app.

  18. Increase max. Pen thickness to 5mm

    Please increase max. Pen thickness to 5mm or 10mm. Right now it is only 2mm, which makes blackening (redacting) text very cumbersome and looks messy.
