  1. I would like to suggest adding more options for manual backup such as adding more formats like instead of just backup it with .goodnotes, we have the option to choose the format as same as the automated backup

  2. Could the color palette in text or highlighter tools have a feature where a press and hold, or a hover shows the name (in large text) of the color so that our color blind learners can still follow the directions that involve colors for school work?

  3. I would really like to be able to delete notebooks when they are open, rather than having to go back to the document menu view. I often have many notebook tabs open and find that some are not needed anymore. It would be more efficient if I could delete those notebooks directly, rather than having to first locate where they are stored.

  4. Changing the color of all a specific color. An example being able to change all the color red on a page/throughout the notebook into blue. Having to lasso colors to change it can be a slow process, so it would be nice if we could do it with a few clicks.

  6. I use GoodNotes daily in landscape and the toolbar takes up nearly 20% of the screen.

    A piece of paper doesn't have a toolbar, and already has much more area than an iPad screen.

    I want to click an arrow to bring it down when I need it as a lot of the time I don't.

    Please implement this as soon as possible so I can get the most out of this brilliant application. Thanks.

  8. When highlighting a text you are already able to hit speech and it will be read to you. It would be great if there were speed options 0.5x, .75x, 1x, 2x, etc...
    I am an auditory learner so this would help with all my e-textbooks. It would also be great if you can pause it while it is being read to you, in case you have to get up or move for a second.

  9. Use-Case: I use one document for all my call minutes. Then I take over some content into different systems or actions and mark the page as done with the green highlighter on one of the top corners.

    Problem: When searching my minutes, I can't see if a page is done or filter done pages.

    Ideas: Allow me to
    - set a tag per page and have search show/ignore specific tags
    - show a full preview of the page beside the zoomed hit are, so I can spot my marker

  10. I really hope that this app will also enter the Google Store. I'd like to know if there's any plan to do that.

    Additionally, it would be nice to use various pens, such as sign pens and pencils.

  11. Please add Color Presets for the Text Styling feature. I constantly have to refer back to handwriting feature to fetch the color hex code to use to the text styling ( text box) / hand writing to text features.

  12. This feature would add automatic page numbering to documents. This feature will be enabled in the document settings and and exporting the document in any kind of way would keep the page numbers, unless disabled in export options. Everyone I ask is annoyed, that something like this doesn't exist, so adding this feature might actually increase ratings. I hope you add this feature because I really need it. Thanks in advance!

    Edit: The user should be able select where the page numbering should start (For Example: The page numbered first can actually be the third page)

  13. Ruler or writing grid that is not really on a page after using the tool would be amazing. Because apples handwriting to text doesnt work with many languages!

  14. I'm aware I can resize/rotate my handwriting already, but, it doesn't have an option not to keep the aspect ratio. Sometimes I want to squish my handwriting a little to make it thinner inside a box.

    This option I've only seen it with Elements, but even then it's a Click/DeSelect/Hold/Click again and THEN editing. It's clunky. I think this also needs to be streamlined if added for handwriting. Not a fan of Rotate/Resize being the same handle either. It makes me make a selection bigger or smaller when trying to rotate.

  16. I know in addition to the 3 standard colors and the option to purchase templates and import templates. At least for those who paid for the GoodNotes Premium option allow users to pick any color papers ( e.g. colors from a color picker). I enjoy the app, but also enjoy color coding. I believe this will be a good thing to add to the app.

  17. -be able to move the toolbar to the bottom of the screen without moving the navigation bar.
    -to be able to move things around on the screen based on the document that I am editing.
    -be able to choose how much the zoom window moves for auto-advance because I always have to move it anyway since it doesn't follow the lines on the lined template

    -For example, we can move the toolbar to the bottom of the screen, but that changes the zoom editing to be at the top of the screen and the document at the bottom. I want…

  20. It’s amazing there is so few languages that can be recognized. It has been a known issue for years, and that’s why other apps or even platforms is moving up so fast ( Nebo as an app, or Supernote/Boox as e writers).
