  1. Allow to insert image from clipboard

    We are already able to copy an image to clipboard with the lasso tool.
    Would be great if we could insert that image later again.
    At the moment we need to safe it to photos and insert it from there, which can quickly mess up our photos.

  2. Sub categories

  4. Different "preset" shapes and define "custom" shapes

    We should be able to add shapes from a predefined set of shapes from the developers. Plus we should be able to save our own custom shapes like for eg a rectangle with different length and breadth or a elliptical shapes etc

  5. Add a function of inserting page numbers

    Could you guys consider to create a function that users can insert page numbers to files so that it's more convenient for users to arrange when they printed it out as well as going through their notes in devices.

  8. A search engine to find highlighted text on iPad

    In PDFs, normally I highlight the most important information, and at the end I want to see in a list, all the sentences that were highlighted.
    Please make this happen for a next update!
    Thanks

  12. Allow background template colours to be changed

    There are lots of comments regarding different colour templates. It would be great if the background colour could simply be changed whilst continuing to use the same template format. Either that or include a spectrum of colours for each template design so changing the paper template doesn't affect the notes already taken.

  13. Please allow the ability to Embed videos and youtube videos as well as PowerPoint/word/excel documents

    I use GoodNotes to create revision notes. The ability to add videos and/or embed online videos from sites such as you tube or Vimeo would be a great asset. Moreover, the ability to either link, or embed Microsoft documents such as PowerPoint/excel/word would also be very very useful. That way I could condense 25 thick binders full of info, into one place on my iPad.

  15. Insert and delete blank space, select whole lines

    For a fully functional editing of longer handwritten notes (with math) I miss inserting things in between (and conversely removing something erased elsewhere). Although tracing with the lasso tool the perimeter around a paragraph is too tedious, a selection tool that can select the whole lines (maybe snap to the text a bit) would be great.

    Although an option for drawing only with Apple pencil but not with hand is needed.

  16. When highlighter overlaps don't darken the overlapped area

    Have an option in the highlighter options section to either be darker in the overlapped areas or not to darken the overlapped areas (consistant shade).

    You will blow Notability out of the water once your upcoming additions are implemented!

    It's already a top 5 app that makes the 12.9" iPad useful. Thanks!

  17. see the exact size or fix a default size for zoom window

    Hi, it would be nice if we could fix a default (preferred) size for the zoom window, or see the exact size so we can chose the right one for each type of document. I do not know if it is already possible.
    For the moment, if I change the zoom window for some reason, I can't return to my preferred exact size after.

    I am sorry if this idea has already been proposed, I could not find it.

  19. Todo management

    I take a ton of notes and produce a lot of todos from meetings, etc.

    OneNote had this feature 15 years ago whereby you would add a todo box next to the line of a handwritten note. It then had a todo notebook that would pull all of the todo boxes from all notebooks. I'm dying to have this feature. I've searched and searched and can't find the feature anywhere! Please please add this!!

  20. Import SVG Elements

    I'd like to be able to design elements in a vector based app like Graphics and then use them in GoodNotes without having to convert them to pixel-images first.
