  1. It would be great if the user can decide where the toolbar located (Left, right, or Top)
    Like other painting software, I can use left hand to switch between tools without moving my wrist

  2. Allow a thicker textmarker. The 7.7 mm aren't enough for some slides.
    I also use sometimes the textmarker for highlighting something by holding the marker for a perfekt rectangular - and therefore it also should be possible to make a thicker line.

  3. Many people use good notes for planner or as a diary. It would be very helpful one could add a reminder entry or calendar entry during taking notes . For example just button that shows entry of reminder at that place. Also reminder app will have an entry so that it will notify you when needed. Perhaps as a separate purchase. Like pencil planner app in app store.

  4. I would like the native attachment retained so that an attachment dragged onto a GoodNotes page can be dragged off and back to original. I currently see a transformation that prevents the drag off. This improvement would increase the versatility of GoodNotes.

  7. Being able to share and download actual sticker packs or “elements” on the community section. Right now all the stickers are just a note with the stickers on it and you have to screenshot and crop all the “freebie” stickers.

  8. Hey, disabledish person here! I have very mild dystonia which makes my arms tense. Writing on paper is more painful than on my iPad. I have very mild OCD & my handwriting is very unstable. I can’t handle writing a letter without redoing it at least once. I hope that a better pen is released before the next school year starts. Thank you for even reading this!

  9. Bug: the new iPad mini 6 doesn't have the settings for stylus and palm rejection. I'm guessing that it isn't on the list of supported devices yet. Extremely inconvenient because a finger touch draws and there is no way to turn this off.

  10. While filling out forms one uses the text box tool many times. The default font size should be of the size used in the last text box, and not 24 every time, so that the user doesn’t have to change it every time as per the need.

  12. I like using the flash card feature of GoodNotes and it works just fine on my iPad. However, on Mac, the window is so small, I cannot properly read my answers.

    I'd like the window size to be adjusted so one can comfortably read the entire flash card on a large display. There's enough room for it.

  13. When writing one often uses lined/grid paper. However, when printing it would be useful if the background is a plain white paper. It would be really useful if one could change the paper template of all pages at once and not only individual pages.

  14. Images and screenshots should also be read for text. Screenshots are often taken of slides and put into notes- but all of this information is excluded when searching words.

  15. I’m aware GoodNotes was not designed for a text-to-speech app, but I really need it to have the ability to read text out loud during my studies. You already have OCR recognition and the iOS already contains spoken content functionality with a speech controller, so I think it just lands itself to enable it in GoodNotes too, right? It would really be so helpful if I didn’t have to use 10 different applications during my study sessions, if most small things could be done from GoodNotes that would truly be awesome. Much obliged guys

  16. Auto-capitalisation works well in general but within GoodNotes it doesn’t, because every time the enter is pressed, it capitalises the next word. However, pressing the enter doesn’t mean new line here, because the text box is a layered feature, pasted on top of things, it’s not necessarily a margin to margin left to right typing tool. As a result, I’m now having to disable it because it is very annoying in the text box, simply because there is no feature or settings available to do that in GoodNotes text box.

  17. Sometimes it would be helpful to have a rectangle or triangle or just a line as shape for erasing. Or at least the circle size be adjustable more than it is now.

  18. Since many lecturers at the university work with PDF/Powerpoint, I like to import them into Goodnotes to annotate them. I also add new slides to solve exercises or make further notes. Unfortunately there are no exactly fitting templates for this. It would be great if there would be a template that adapts exactly to the slide size of the PDF/Powerpoint.

  19. A lot of people like me like write notes on typing. In the fast pace of my school, I cannot keep up with just the writing method. I draw, type, and handwrite.
    I encourage good notes 5 to have some more basic texting function to organize the typing field (especially listing)
    1. Numbered list (1.2.3.4.)
    2. Bulleted list
    3. line space

    those 3 are so easy to accomplish by the developer but it can help us to organize our type notes!!!!!

    WITHOUT BULLET POINT, MY NOTES R CLUSTERS
