  1. There are many PDF files whose page sizes are not A4 or A3-This kind of the standard size. This causes a problem when importing PDF, which is that the pages added to the document are not the same size as the PDF pages imported. Therefore, I think the imported document should be zoomed when it is displayed. For example, when the page is turned vertically, all the pages should be displayed in the same width, and the standard size of the page should be selected when exporting Pdf.

  2. Most PDF creators can make a fillable PDF with named fields, we need the ability to capture that data.

  3. Currently, the only way to have custom colours that are the same in text and drawing tools is to manually duplicate the hex code for each colour from the drawing tool palette to the text tool palette and vice versa. I do a lot of colour-coding in my notes, and use both text and writing; an option for a shared custom colour palette between text and drawing would be wonderful, and save a LOT of time.

  4. Please allow the shapes to detect a perfect hexagon. It detects uneven hexagons but not hexagons with equal sides... This is very important for chemistry and biochemistry majors

  5. You can add small pages to the left and right sides of a note page, or just comments, so it's extremely convenient to flip through notes later, as well as PDF revisions. Summary: goodnote page restrictions are very serious
    可以给某个笔记页面的左右侧添加小页面,或者批注就好了,这样的话,后期来翻阅笔记,以及PDF的修订等,都变得极其方便。
    总结:goodnote页面限制非常严重

  6. Such as hyperlinks, or video. The idea is to allow the notebook to act as a scrapbook of sorts.

  7. Hallo :)

    ich fände es schön, wenn man den Seitenhintergrund von mehreren Seiten gleichzeitig wechseln kann, da dies handisch sehr mühsam ist und bei mehr als 20 Seiten super lange dauert! z.B wenn man ein neues Seitenformat benötigt.

    Außerdem wäre es cool, wenn man kleine Tabellen einfügen kann.

    Freundlich Grüße

  8. To use GoodNotes in a company environment and to process confidential data, encryption of all data transfers is a must-have.

    Use a standard strong crypto implementation to encrypt all data send via internet to BackUp or sync servers.

    For me it is OK to enter the (strong) password on each device every time or to store it locally on the device. But the data on the external servers should be fully encrypted.

    The system should be well documented and certified by external IT security experts.

  9. Hi,

    laser pointer is great tool when i want to use my ipad to demonstrate something in real life to someone that can see ipad screen.

    During video conferences, i used to mirror my ipad screen onto my laptop and use laser pointer for online demonstrations.

    I've bought macOS app, hoping that i could do that directly in the app on my laptop rather then mirroring my ipad, only to discover that laser pointer feature is not available on laptops.

    Please add laser pointer feature for macOS app.. otherwise i wasted money paying for the separate app for my laptop.

  10. it ist great that now it is possible to backup our files with for example google drive/one drive.

    But it were much better if we could sync the Backup folder with goodnotes.
    Thus we get much easier and faster import from the computer

  11. It will be very nice, if you could specify a certain time period for Auto-Backup.

    For example Once a day or every hour. Because I think, since I activate it, my battery of the IPad is much faster empty

  12. I am a heavy user of the Go Back command in GN4. I I can't really upgrade without it. Why would you have removed it?! Please bring it back!

  15. Would like a button or similar feature when naming a notebook or folder. I create multiple notebooks weekly and like to have the date as apart of the name. Need a quick way to do it.

  16. When you have a lengthy document, e.g. 10 pages, and you need to add text/graph/diagram on the first page you would have to move everything down from that point onwards.
    Please add a menu to add a predefined amount of space at a certain point (2 cm ?)

  17. When a new folder is created the user has to manually tap the text field to fill in the title..... instead, have the cursor auto-populate to the text field so that the user does not go to type... realize the field is not auto-selected and then have to go back and select it.

    I love the App!

  18. When I write in GoodNotes, I prefer to use dark papers, while yellow pencil is suitable. But if I show notes to others, I need to change the background, and yellow handwriting will become too shallow.

  19. I like underlining a lot of my handwriting, and constantly toggling between handwriting and underlining really decreases my writing speed!

    Thank you very much!

  20. Goodnotes used to open to the last notebook I viewed. Now it constantly goes back to the main document screen and I have to find and open the document I want every Time. Is there a way to make it stop doing that?
