  1. Undo/Redo hotkey has been removed recently.
    I'm really frustrated.

    Can you re-add Cmd-Z/Cmd-Shift-Z hotkey?

    It's definitely mandatory hotkey for keyboard users, and it's the most frequently used hotkey. with the pencil on my right hand, and with Cmd-Z hotkey on my left hand, it was a perfect way to draw and erase something almost at the same time.

    if not, I have to click "undo" icon.
    That's very inconvenient for ipad-keyboard users. Pls... ㅠ.ㅠ

  2. Would be awesome to be able to draw curved lines with many curves (concave, convex). The feature should allow the user to draw the line roughly with the apple pencil and smooth out the curve to make it look good. This would be similar to the "free-form" feature in Microsoft Visio.

    An example of such lines is shown in the attached PDF.

    Thanks :)

  3. I don’t know if this is just me, but I noticed that when using a sticker from my saves, it's size varies depending on the zoom percentage that I'm on currently. For example, when I'm on a document while zoomed out and use a sticker and readjust it's position after zooming in, it's size seems to get different. This is really unsatisfying, because I use the stickers option for bullet points, as there isn’t an option yet to do that separately.

  4. The ability to select the number of flashcards to be shown during a session, that way you can slowly increase the number of cards you study each time. For example, I can choose to study 5, 10, or 20 cards out of 40 flashcards. Then once those are learned, I can add more by increasing the amount of cards.

  6. I kept being annoyed at auto advance everytime I use it… It sorts of breaks my concentration as I write small words into the page. Right now, I have it disabled. It would be nice if we can have the option available as an icon since most people likes to use it.

    The blue frame for auto advance should be bigger as it is easier to see the flow of words towards the edge of the page, rather than it being way in edge of left side. Even left-handed people will benefit it too.

  7. There should be a feature to erase the imported pdfs in a way that will clean the places we do not want. Erase with a pen, but it can also erase embedded information in a pdf. Like Adobe Scan cleaner feature.

  9. part of what makes fountain pen writing look personal and nice to look at it the subtle shades of colour variation in each stroke. You get pooling around the heavy press areas and lighter colour in the lighter press, less corner-y/curvy strokes. No other note taking app does this as far as I am aware and would give GN a really personal, beautiful feel.

    This is why I use a fountain pen in real life - the character of it.

  10. This has been described in a few different posts and the moderators have not given satisfactory responses. We would like the ability to zoom out so we can see multiple pages within a single document.

  11. Add a highlight option to have a round tip or chisel tip. The chisel tip would be the exact same as the current highlighter but it would have straight boxed ends instead of round ends.

  12. Many users are asking for technical drawing aids (rulers, protractors, triangle rulers, etc.)
    A very quick workaround [not a final solution, but a helpful start] would be to include a sticker collection containing some drawing tools on transparent backgrounds.
    I am aware that now one can create sticker packs by oneself, but not all users might come up with the idea / would know how to do it.

  13. Make a way for people to vote for the mod response as an appropriate solution.
    For example, the person requesting a calculator in app. The mod pointed out you can swipe and split the screen with a calculator, and that’s a brilliant idea I didn’t think of. I
    There’s no need for GoodNotes to develop and in app calculator, this would be a waste of the GoodNotes teams time and resources, and a waste of storage space on my iPad adding this feature to GoodNotes.
    I want to be able to vote and say the mods response is so great…

  14. I love GoodNotes but the most tedious thing I dislike about the program is my handwriting. It would be amazing if the text box could be configured for a general use so you can write how you would with the pen but it converts to a preinstalled font. I have so much trouble with the text box adjusting them to the side, trying to go to the next line without using the keyboard, moving the text box.

  15. iPad still locks even with "Automatic Screen Lock" disabled when having multiple GoodNotes windows open; not necessarily in splitscreen, just instances.

    If only one GoodNotes window exists in my iPad active apps, the screen doesn't lock (stays awake as desired). Multiple GoodNotes instances defeat this feature.

  16. Can you please add the ability to highlight content as it is spoken this feature works on other iPad apps such as web browsers and Notability but for some reason does not work in GoodNotes? Thanks looking forward to future updates.

  17. When batch importing images / files (via icloud) they are placed in random page order and need to be manually sorted.

    Example. I photograph my hand drawn Moleskine note books into Goodnotes as a reference and archive. BUT, the images in Icloud are all in a numbered order, but they are randomly imported in Goodnotes and I need to spend a considerable time putting them in order.

  19. Sometimes I want to jot notes , but there isn’t enough space , however I don’t want to add new page but just write next to the words. Is it possible to add memo ( like the add comment feature) , so when I click the little memo icon , it will expend into large memo . Or just to add space between lines. Thank you .
