  1. global search engine (-> searching for keyword in EVERY document)

    you can do that on the pc (-> pdf xchange viewer) or on mac (spotlight search): if you enter a keyword it gives you a list of every page your word appears on, which is an incredible feature for learning with e.g. your universties pdfs.

    goodnotes offers you the chance to look for a word within ONE pdf file, but there's no global search engine - which I believe is a feature a lot of people would appreciate!!
    (no other ipad app has this, so be the first ;) )

  3. Continuous scroll for algebra and or math works

    I wish it could be possible to switch between the classic page turning and a continuous scrolling. When working on math projects, it would be very convenient to have a continuous scroll so that I can always see my last result or steps without having to continuously switch pages. Ideally I'd love to be able to mix continuous rolls with classic page by page notebook.

  4. Export PDF outlines in annotated PDFs

    It would be great if the outlines/bookmarks in PDFs edited in Goodnotes would be exported together with the PDF file. The outlines are visible inside Goodnotes, but once the notebook is exported the outlines disappear.

  5. Visual folder instead of Categories

    There is a categories option but visual folders would be more nicer to see and far more usable
    Obviously with subfolder support

  8. Be able to export as pdf or print a range of pages ex: pages 4-10

    I'd be nice if we were able to export or print only a select number of pages. We currently only have the option of exporting/printing the current page or all of them not a subset.

    Thanks !

  9. Add folders and subfolders

    The ability tu subdivide and organize the documente shouldnt be so limited in an app like these, wich is meant for students and also is paid

    One sub folder is not enough when organizing modules inside courses wich compose a determined MBA or postgrade title etc, this is a must for the student and cant be much hard TO do

  13. Option to restore Paper Templates to default.

    I seem to have lost the original landscape squared paper, and I can't find a way to get it back.
    I have made many custom templates, and I like this feature, but somehow I made this mistake.

    GoodNotes 5 introduces the concept of folders to replace categories. You can create unlimited levels of folders and subfolders to organize your notebooks and documents.

  18. Collaborate on shared notebooks with multiple users

    Simulaneously share notebooks for use through the web with other users.

    Talkboard is a free app by Citrix that allows for sharing of a white board with multiple users. The writing features are in general, the same as good notes.

    If notebooks could support features to share with other users simultaneously, even select notebooks, then I would be able to use good notes as a collaboration tool on top of it being a note taking tool.

  20. Add integration support for Onedrive for Business

    My company uses Onedrive for Business and it would be great if Goodnotes could integrate with that. The current integration with Onedrive does not include Onedrive for Business
