  1. Here is my issue: I am writing a document with a lots of design and art work. Suppose I have filled page “A” with lot of content non sequentially. Now I’ve moved on to next page “B”. Accidentally I draw somethings on page B. Then as per my habit I tap undo couple of times, now if unknowingly do more undos than the changes on page B. It undos changes on page A as well. If I don’t notice it then I’ve lost last content put on page A. If I notice it, then I have to press redo till…

  2. Having the ability to save customised pen settings. This would be really useful for certain notebooks, as each notebook has different pens: eg. thickness

  3. My physical paper has smaller squares per piece of paper. It would be great if i could customise the size of the squares on GoodNotes :)

  4. It would be great if highlighters worked on black paper just as on white. What I mean is: if I write with black pen on white, the highlighter goes behind the written text, but if I write on black paper with white tint, the highlighter goes over the text. I prefer using the dark theme.

  5. It would be much faster to be able to duplicate handwritten notes (like in Notability) instead of having to copy and paste it every time.
    In my opinion, it would speed up the process of note taking!

  7. Integrate mindmapping functionality that also integrates with calendar and project management tools, at least at some basic level.

  8. TL;DR: Sometimes when bulk-importing, duplicates might be accidentally imported. Catch these potential duplicates and query if we still want to import.

    When performing bulk imports, I occasionally have duplicates present (due to the way my main import source structures PDFs). This ultimately means that what I think might be a unique file actually already exists in GoodNotes. Ideally, this could work at the PDF level, but may only be easily-done on a fuzzy-name basis.

    e.g. say the file I'm importing has the name "Mind Games 40c0de54-120f-0d77-9ae5-e96083fb1f9b" – while the UUID present (the 40c0de54-120f-0d77-9ae5-e96083fb1f9b) is very likely to be unique, I…

  9. I would love a pressure sensitive ball pen! I cannot make my writing look nice in any of the pens currently offered in GoodNotes - the fountain pen is too pressure sensitive, and the ball pen has no pressure sensitivity at all.

    GoodNotes outdoes every other note taking app I have used in every respect except the pen - my notes look much, much nicer in other apps, but they do not have the functionality I need, which GoodNotes offers.

    I would be sooo grateful for this feature!

  10. Text needs the option to save custom colours. Changing text colours also seems inconsistent and often changes the entire block instead of only highlighted text.

  11. When I highlight text, I want the option to add a comment/explanation that then hides in the comment icon next to the highlighted text. When I click on the icon, that explanation then appears underneath the text. And when I click on the background, it goes back to the way it is.

  12. I hope that I can directly select multiple pages and rearrange their order in the thumbnails like what I can do in Notability.

    I know that I can copy and paste page to rearrange the page order. But it's not convenient.

    I'd appreciate it if you could add this feature.

  13. Ein sehr hilfreiches neues Feature wäre, wenn man beliebig viele Farben in die Auswahlleiste hinzufügen könnte. Die drei möglichen Auswahlmöglichkeiten sind für viele Arbeiten einfach zu wenig und es nimmt einige Zeit die Farben ständig zu wechseln. Vor allem wenn man mehrere Farbtöne benutzen will.

  14. I have different color schemes for different books and it annoys me that I constantly have to change which three pencil and highlighter color shows on the toolbar. This would be an awesome upgrade!

  15. Sometimes I want to copy an area of a pdf file. The current workflow ist:

    lasso it -> click screenshot -> click share button -> click copy -> paste.

    What about lasso -> copy [as image] -> paste?

    The current state is really annoying. In Notability, you can do that with one tap. That shouldn't be too hard to implement, since the screenshot feature is already implemented. After copying something, a pencil tap should instantly open the copy-paste menu instead of holding.

  17. I do hope in the future updates, goodnotes would allow us to view images on pdfs with jpeg2000, if adobe acrobat could do it, why can't goodnotes do it as well?

  18. I really like the zoom window. But I don't know if it's just me, for a lot of times my palm touching the screen is detected as an action to resize the zoom window, and I need to resize it again so that my writing would be the same size.So, I was wondering if the development team could kindly make a feature to temporarily fix the size of the zoom window so that users can toggle to fix the size when they would like to?

  19. Would you be able to create a “touch” feature icon so that it supports hotlinks on pdf?

    I have hotlinks in my content page of my pdf to navigate to the correct pages, one click and i jump straight to the page instead of flipping through 30 pages.
