  1. I really like the ability to lock a page position and zoom when using Goodnotes as an electronic whiteboard for lecturing. However, a rather annoying trait is that the screen lock turns off every time the page advances.

    It would be nice to have an option to "lock all pages".

  2. If I create new note and I want to insert PDF page into that note I'm working on, this function is not available. The only way is to add the PDF page to your notebook as a separate page.

    Sometimes, we need to create notes and support that notes with a PDF document.

  3. I would like to choose which notebooks / documents get synced through iCloud. I have plenty of documents on my iPad that I don't want to have on my iPhone. Things like PDF manuals or PDF presentations that I just can't use on the smaller iPhone screen.

  4. Since the iPad Pro differentiates between pencil and finger interaction why not while using the pencil allow the finger to erase. This would be very efficient for the users.

  5. Add the option to hyperlink from the cut tool options. Basically anything I circle I can assign a link to take me to the associated content.

  7. Currently, pages must be dragged one by one to another location in a notebook (in the Edit mode). This is quite tedious when multiple pages have to be moved elsewhere in a long notebook : you end up dragging one page from the top to the bottom of the notebook, and then repeat for every page, instead of dragging all the pages at once.

  8. Es wäre klasse, eine Erinnerungsfunktion zu integrieren. Erinnerungen könnten zu einer Notiz auf dem Papier mit einem Symbol hinzugefügt werden. Als aktive Checkbox wäre ideal. Der betreffende Text könnte mit dem Lasso-Werkzeug markiert und später als Erinnerung angezeigt werden. Die Erinnerungen könnten in einer Übersicht, sortiert nach Notizbüchern, angezeigt werden. Diese Funktion wäre ungemein nützlich!

  9. While working with an iPad Pro 12" the navbar i kind of empty please add a fast option for color changing. It would be great if you would place about 5 colours directly between the boxwriting and the pen symbol and the pen thickness on the other side!

  10. I love the new single finger swipe feature with Apple Pencil. It would be much improved if you could add the same functionality/behavior with eraser and lasso tools. With eraser or lasso tool selected, single finger swipe actually erases/selects instead of scrolling to new page. I am accustomed to using the Apple Pencil to erase or select with the lasso tool, and it would be more intuitive to allow the same single finger swipe behavior just as it does with pen/highlighter tool selected.

  11. I attend a few conferences and constantly use Goodnotes, and get asked about it. I would love to be able to add the camera to the task bar. I miss some slides/information because of the time it takes to open the camera. Video would also be good to add. And voice recording. Then it would also be perfect for marking my students work and giving verbal feedback.

  12. Add a paper page as new paper type with the date of today into the default paper type. So you are able to create a new note book with empty pages withe the date of today like a dairy book.

  13. Add "select all" for a page with "copy". Then we can move pages by
    adding blank pages and pasting material. Since that's possible,
    automate it all with a single "move " command.

  14. plain text pages would accept/display plain text input as their main content meaning that the text whole page accepts text starting at the upper left corner without the ability or need to move or position a textfield.
    In addition it would be great if Asciidoc and/or Markdown would be formatted or highlighted.

  15. I often need to copy things between multiple pages in the same document. For this reason it would be nice to have the same document in more than one tab with different pages.

  16. It would be great to be able to clip web content from a browser (as in Notability). Often I want to copy an equation from Wikipedia and insert it into my notes, ideally with a reference.

  19. Give the possibility to create own templates such as project plan, meeting minutes or any other use full template. Just provide a empty page, where users are able to draw/create their own templates with the existing tools (Handwriting, Lines, Boxes, Text, ...). Give the possibility to use that page as privat template.
    Additional to the creation of own templates, there should be the possibility to upload the privat templates to a platform, where users can share their experience with others.

  20. I use zoom window for all my writing. It allows me to keep my hand in one place and see most of the screen while writing. Currently zoom window is very rigid: it has a fixed aspect ration, limited zoom factor, fixed position and size at bottom of screen. Adding some features would make it a much better tool.

    • Allow to choose both length and width of zoom window (flexible aspect ration) upto half half screen;
    • Allow to zoom starting from 1x magnification;
    • Make the border of zoom window 1 pixel wide to distract less from what is actually on…
