  1. Text boxes often disappear randomly when clicking them on the iPad. Please fix this, it's time-consuming and annoying.

  2. The feature I am suggesting is a new annotation tool similar to the loupe feature of the Preview application on MacOS devices.
    This tool allows the user to create a circular region on a document being edited that enlarges ('zooms') the document elements underneath it, to show detail.
    For items that are underneath which are fonts, SVG, or other scalable formats, the zoom appropriately scales those elements upon creation or release of the tool. For items that are underneath which are images with a higher source resolution than what the document is showing, the zoom appropriately re-renders the zoomed region…

  4. To be able to position the Tool Bar AND the Undo button on the sides; the newest versions allow to position it on the bottom or top only. I think side placement is more helpful for Apple Pencil Version 1 users as I’m sure we quietly use the undo or eraser button quite a lot.

  5. As a univ student, i always use this app anywhere. Sometimes it's uncomfortable to use, which is, when the content is on a different page, it's often uncomfortable to find where it is(due to So many many files). So what I'm suggesting is that when you click on that sentence or word that's related to another page, you change it to the page that's related. For example, there is the word oxidation, and when you associate it with a sentence in another page, you always change it to a page that is associated with that word.

  7. When recording a video I would like to be able to pause the recording and then unpause. It is hard to video record all my notes in one go.

  8. Allow people the chance to create digital planners with hyper links to months and weeks of each year that is specified. Note shelf 2 already has this. I think Goodnotes needs this as well. The CCP virus will mean this feature will become extremely important as people will need a way to track their daily activities.

  11. Ist es möglich in Zukunft die Option einzufügen, dass man ganze Dateien (Notizbücher etc.) kopieren und in einem anderen Ordner einfügen kann? Bei duplizieren wird immer die Datei umbenannt und bei Bewegen ist sie im Ursprungsordner natürlich nicht mehr vorhanden.

  13. In pen tool and highlighter tool, only three colours can be set at the same time, but is there any way to set four or more colours on the tool bar at the same time? Personally, I use black, red, blue and green frequently, but every time I need to switch one of three colour settings. Since there is still space on the tool bar, the app should allow the users to add more colour settings on the bar (like Microsoft OneNote). What do you think?

  14. I saw this interesting article and it would be really cool if you could add to good notes or emulate it having a floating pallet.

  15. When GoodNotes starts in the Documents Home view, I usually already have several notebooks open that I'm working in. In order to get to those notebooks (and the tabs displaying them) I have to go find and open a notebook that is already "open." From the Documents Home view, I would love to have a list of already open notebooks to go directly there upon app launch.

  16. I am a Maths teacher from Vietnam. I love technology. About 2 years ago, I came across your Goodnotes application, which was the number one paid application in AppStore and I felt lucky that I bought it. I got excited and engrossed in your app at the very first time I used it. I work with Mathematics problems very frequently. When using Goodnotes, the problems become much easier and more intriguing. I learned a lot from these and thanks to it, my students got many prizes in local competitions. I wrote a “long essay” to you in the reviews section…

  17. the latest version of goodnotes seem to have made a little bit of change on the handwriting improvement algorithm to make the end of the writing thicker, which makes it less comfortable. Also, there is more delay of the writing. Please resume the previous algorithm.

  18. I can choose which files or folders that I want to backup to iCloud instead of backing up all the files in GoodNotes.
    Due to my limit storage of iCloud, with this backup option, it would be so helpful!!!!

  19. The inclusion of hyperlinks or jumps in one text to another, or other texts included in the same notebook or in a different one, makes it possible to work with live texts and therefore subject to evolution, correction or expansion, ultimately subject to continuous changes.
