  2. Goodnotes is a great app---and getting better all the time. I would love to have the eraser tool on the zoom window tool bar. This would allow me to use the full screen mode when writing in the zoom window. This removes the main screen toolbar for better visibility of what I have already written.

    Keep up the great work!

  4. Notebook COVERS look oldfashioned, dull. Moreover the findability of documents would be improved by livelier patterns/colours, I think.

  5. Simply an iphone version with both the opportunity to look at and edit all the normal other files created via the iPad, but also a one tap stick note type option for taking smaller simple sticky notes on the the fly when out and about - these too should sync into a specified folder for ipad and dropbox (also ideally Evernote) access

  6. I would like to be able to import a PDF and have the hyperlinks in it still be clickable. I'm using the app part time for teaching over an Apple TV... Having a lesson outline PDF that I can add notes to is great... But also to have links that go out to the web would be awesome. An in-app browser would be ideal... But even opening in safari would be nice.

  9. A lasso type tool that allows me to select a specific area the make a copy of everything inside the selection. Then paste and drag elsewhere in the doc or paste into another doc. This simple tool paired with everything else would allow you to manipulate images and documents freely.

  10. It would be great if you didn't always have to re-select the writing tool you were writing with after selecting the eraser tool to fix a quick writing error/mark on-screen (a handy feature already included in the NotesPlus app to improve workflow when writing).

  11. Much of what I import as pdf files is correctly aligned to the page but some come needing to be rotated 90 degrees to be readable. Can you do something to allow us to rotate 90.

    We’re excited to announce that we have completed this feature. It is now available in the update GoodNotes 5.3 for iPadOS (13.1).

    With the update, we added full support for iPadOS’ multiple windows. It lets you do much more than viewing two documents side by side. To read everything you need to know about opening multiple documents, please visit goodnotes.com/ipad-os.

    How to open a new window:

    You can now open GoodNotes in multiple windows to view two documents side by side, view two pages of the same document in Split View, or pair it with other apps in spaces across your entire system. To open a new window, drag any of the elements listed below to the side of your screen:

    - the app icon from the dock
    - documents from the library
    - folders from the library
    - individual pages from the document thumbnail view
    - tabs from the…

  13. Hello gentlemen, may I first congratulate you on the application, and the second to make a request to that you can incorporate to the app. The problem is that when working with photos, these cannot be manipulated, either with the crop tool in the own existing app or well at the time of editing the photo there is a tool that is cutting back because sometimes you need only a small part of the photo for the document in use.

  15. I have to open my Google Drive and use the Open In... feature to open my file in Goodnotes. Then to export my file back to Google Drive I have to export it to a different app such as Dropbox or Notability, then re-export it to Google Drive.

    It's Annoying

  17. Use case: taking notes from a presentation. Want to insert a picture wi the camera. The picture is typically too big so I would directly like to crop it so that it shows only the relevant pieces..

  18. I've been looking for and was very surprised to not find opportunities to cut a piece of photo you want me to. You have to insert pictures and lose work space or cut them in another application and waste time.
