  1. If you create the typing text feature, something that would be useful is syntax highlighting for popular programming languages. I use this app to take notes in all my classes except Computer Science. I would love to be able to write, type, and draw, and this app is the best possibility to do all of the above. Additionally, ability to export code snippets from notes as separate files, with a chosen extension (.c/.cc, etc). This isn't a widely sought feature and would take a lot of time and work, but just putting it out there for CS students.

  3. When you change the orientation of your iPad to landscape, the GoodNotes pages (blank template, ruled template, graph paper template, etc) turn to match the landscape orientation. Not the imported documents such as PDF, docx, ppt, etc. Just the GoodNotes papers need to have a landscape mode

  4. Sometimes, I draw a graph on the left-hand side of the paper, and I want to use the blank space on the right to continue writing. But if I write there, I have to move the zoom box myself at every new lines (otherwise, I'll be writing on my graph!). It would be great to be able to set a “temporary left margin” to be more efficient.

    The next step would be that the app automatically detect that there is a drawing on the left, and automatically knows not to go completely to the left side of the page while…

  5. Add a built-in web browser to clip images or content directly into the app. Great for research and note taking.

  6. Using a zoom box most of the time, I often found that both the tool bars---background toolbar and the zoom box toolbar--- can stay together, so the stylus doesn't have to jump up and down for toolbar options.

    hope to suggest that the entire background toolbar gets lower -so becomes a zoombox tool bar--as the zoombox opens.

  8. It would be great to be able to use predefined and custom graphic stamps to annotate a document. I'm thinking 'Rejected!' or "Approved'

  9. To increase or decrease the size of images, they lose a lot of quality. Should improve that.

  10. I kindof do this by taking screenshots of my calendar and importing into goodnotes, but it would be so much better if the events were automatically updated. Planner pages could be daily or weekly.

    Existing planner apps don't allow the handwriting, which makes them not at all like a real planner.

  11. Text box positions and fonts should be aligned such that the multi-line typed text will be aligned with the current template's horizontal bars. This alignment should be the default initial behavior whenever a new text box is created.

  15. Please support Boxcryptor. This allows to store files encrypted on Dropbox. You support dropbox - you should support Boxcryptor as well. Never mind - but who wants to store his private stuff in the cloud without encryption ... :).
    Thanks for realization!

  17. Maybe I am missing some setting or documentation, but I spend a lot of time marking up documents and bookmarking those notes, only to have the bookmarks not Export with the document. Frustrating.

  18. I'm a student so sometimes while typing my notes, my professor makes an error or changes something so I can't go back to the text box to edit it. Also, whenever I want to bold one word or sentence, the entire sentence gets bolded. You guys should change this and allow us to only bold, italicize, and underline the words we want. Also, please please PLEASE give us the option to go back to our text box that we were typing in.

  19. It appears that when PDFs are exported they are done so as a "flattened" PDF. It would be great if the PDF elements were still editable after export - both the written notes and any fields if they were included in the original PDF.

  20. It should be able to export with customizable resolutions, since for some notes we do not need high resolution and for dense pages the PDF generated with the current version is heavy and difficult to upload in slow connections.
