  1. It would be great if there were more stickers for note-taking. I'm thinking like a ! and ?. And also like the word IMPORTANT. Just more note-taking sticker options

  2. When you open a pdf or a slide that has been imported have it gray out/highlight places where it thinks would be a good idea to highlight. Would be great for people that are not good at taking notes

  3. Writing near the bottom edge of the page is very uncomfortable. Please allow us to move the page without it snapping back so we can keep the writing area on the most comfortable part of the screen.

  4. I have an iPad with large storage, and have only limited iCloud. I would love to clean my iCloud and move all all documents to my iPad storage. I am afraid to clear iCloud storage to loose any files as I’m not sure which ones are saved on iCloud and which ones are saved on iPad. I tried to find some help on blog but people are only asking about the other way around than I need, i.e. they are asking about uploading all the files to iCloud from iPad.

  5. it would be great if the horizontal Page Swipe should be as smooth as the vertical.
    If you swipe to next pages you must do a long way with your finger.Sometimes two or three times.
    It needs to be faster.
    Thank you…

  6. The zoom window is great but it would be better if it wasn't locked to the bottom of the screen.

    If the zoom window could be moved to the upper or lower corners of the screen or relegated to a movable box. That way you could use the zoom window without moving the entire document all the time.

  8. It would be very usefull if it was added a color selector, much like paint as it. for example you are using someone else notes or writing or a preexisting template, it would be very helpful if you could select the color of something that written already and start using the same color to write

  9. Please enable handwritten fonts and assisted themes for the whole app (Like a system font), which we can choose to set, after submitting a PDF of our work as a token of thanks. We can choose from available fonts and themes on the GoodNotes website, and activate them by submitting our work as an inspiration for other or new users.

  11. So often lecture slides are provided as PDFs with absolutely no room on them to make additional notes of your own...

    It would be great to have the option to convert a page to a "handout" view (i.e. like PowerPoint handout options), with either a single or multiple page slide.

    Having the option to do this at the point of import, or (additionally) to convert a page to a handout by 'editing' the page later would be awesome!

  14. I have different color schemes for different books and it annoys me that I constantly have to change which three pencil and highlighter color shows on the toolbar. This would be an awesome upgrade!

  15. I suggest to provide a setting where GoodNotes sync's only rarely.
    So, for instance, when I go back to the overview of all the notes I have in GoodNotes on my iPad, or when there is a longer time of inactivity in GoodNotes, or when I switch to a different app, then GN could do a sync.

    Right now, it synchronizes every 10 seconds or so, which drains the battery a lot. (All apps with heavy Wifi activity do that.) But I don't need to go back and forth between Mac and iPad while taking notes. I just occasionally bring…

  16. 大家都知道如果想关闭工具栏的弹窗只能直接在别的地方写。而对于想在弹窗处写字,不能在空白处(在空白处点击会留下墨迹,希望得到优化)或再次点击工具栏的图标来关闭。这样的操作真的非常反人类。

  18. Improving the speed of turning books. Just like when I hold a real book, I can turn 100 pages at a time easily.
