  1. Even small documents (4-5 pages) seem to result in 6+ MB-sized documents. I think the fill colour option of the shape tool might be the culprit.

  2. It is very irritating when you touch a Note Tab, either deliberately or by accident, then that not opens at the cover page, not at the last page being edited. You have to select the thumbnails and scroll to the last page. Have an option in settings that states when selecting a note tab continue at the last page being edited or cover page.

  6. I am a teacher and i use GoodNotes as a blackboard. So it would be very useful to have a set Square and a pair of compasses visible to the students to show how to construct geometric forms.

    • Add the option to save preferred, individual colours (now: when typing in a colour code and then changing the colour, you have to type in the code again because there is no possibility to go back to your individual colour)

    • Make it possible to highlight in a rectangle (straight, squared line) and not round

    • Expand options of highlighting colours (more shiny and bright like real highlighters, packages like pastel colours)

    • Add option to make highlighting automatically straight (without having to use the shape button)

  9. I want to import Outlook email messages into Goodnotes.

    Currently I use a computer to print the email as a pdf and send it to myself that I import directly into goodnotes.
    Is there a faster way? Can I do this on the iPad without needing a computer to print the email?

    Can you create an app

  10. The one that changes when clicking Select, Edit, Text, Pen, Highlight, Eraser...

    I honestly think it doesn't make sense to have that toolbar always active when you are just visualizing a document without editing it. It takes up valuable space for visualization! (specially in Macs with small screens).

    Is there a way to disable that "sub-toolbar"?

  13. I use several different text styles in my documents, this includes fonts styles and sizes. While currently I have a notebook and a collection of the fonts & sizes I prefer. I’d love the ability to have multiple text style presets. Most of the time I’m using between 6 and 7 different fonts between my notes (it’s why when I try a new font, I make sure my most recent fonts stay in the recent section), but having the ability to have multiple text box presets would be beneficial.

  17. When I'm making several shapes or using images and want to be able to auto align them by either aligning of the top, bottom, middle, etc. Also the ability to space them evenly would be amazing.
    The ability to link/group these shapes/images together

  18. Instead of sharing every document on its own, it would help a lot, if one can share a collaboration link for a whole folder.
    Especially for working in a group with several single documents, a shared folder would increase efficiency a lot.
