  1. Hello dear developers,
    I always work with different templates.
    When I work with the black template, I always have to laboriously switch the pen colors.
    Is it not possible to save the pen colors together with the worksheet?

    Furthermore, more sheet colors would be nice, e.g. gray, red and green.
    I am aware that I could create my own templates. But most of the time the grid does not fit.
    Why not do it the same way as with the pens, that the background color can also be chosen from a color table?
    Many greetings Ernst

  3. In the PC version, there could be a fully complete typing mode, for those who only use the keyboard, also including a text marker suitable for the mouse, so that there is no distortion in the text marking.

  4. We can now import documents into Goodnotes which is AMAZING, but now I think it is more crucial than ever to be able to have text recognition, select texts, highlight texts, and add comments that are linked to the highlighted text. This probably also goes in line with being able to type text with a keyboard.

  5. Auto show outline of an imported document (e.g. textbooks) and allow us to create outlines and bookmarks for our own notes.

    For reference, Flexcil has this function (shown in the screenshot below)

  7. A PDF file that I imported has tabs across the top linked to other pages in the same pdf. The links don't work though. It does nothing when I click them. This is a crucial need for those who use GoodNotes as a Calendar/Journal. Also, importing our own custom PDF files to be used as templates is extremely important to most users. I can't find anywhere to set pressure sensitivity or turn off pressure sensitivity for the pen either. Writing doesn't feel as natural and smooth as it does on the iPad either.

  8. Be able to use “shape tool” and copy and paste that shape I select. I know you can use lasso, but sometimes I’ve drawn really close or on the shape, so the lasso won’t work because it grabs everything. But if I know I’m going to be using this shape a lot, it’d be nice select the shape tool, select the shape, and have the “Copy, paste, resize, etc. options available. Especially because when I select the shape tool, it knows what object I’m selecting. I can adjust it, but can’t copy and paste. Please!

  10. Because the functionality is so incredibly limited, I'm guessing the beta was released just to see what the interest level was.

    I would suggest adding far more features so that we can really get excited about having the full version, just like the iOS one. You could set up pre-orders even!

    The beta does not give me any incentive to want to switch from my current pdf markup app. From what I've seen others do with the iOS version though, I would switch in a heartbeat if this version were anything like that.

    Give us something to get excited about…

  13. In procreate, for example, there’s something called streamline, which helps you have neat lines. For people like me, with a doctor looking handwriting, a feature like this would save our time, notes, and overall increase productivity in notetaking. Feature like this is NEEDED.

  18. Several note apps or pdf apps have supported using webdav for sync between devices. For those who have private file servers os NAS webdav is a better way to protect personal privacy and allow bigger storage.

  19. I use Google calendars for my personal events, and then Outlook for my work meetings.

    I would like to be able to sync those calendars on to a Goodnotes calendar, so it becomes my central hub for all events. It may require a special page type or field for a calendar, so dates land on the correct space.
