  1. When an Image is selected you get 8 handles to resize the image. The handles at the 4 corners resize the Image keeping the aspect ratio. That is expected behavior. But the handles at the edges should resize the width or the height of an image.
    It is currently not possible to insert a white image and resize it to mask a part of a page (classroom).

  2. I think it would be essential to integrate the Arabic language in good notes. It is one of the most spoken language in the world and both Arabic speaking persons and Arabic learners will love to have access to the handwriting recognition of this language. Thank you !

  4. In PDFs, normally I highlight the most important information, and at the end I want to see in a list, all the sentences that were highlighted.
    Please make this happen for a next update!
    Thanks

  7. I am working with lots of pdfs and it's really fun to read an annotate them with GoodNotes. However, I'd like to use keywords and attach them everywhere in my notes (pdfs). Thereafter, I'd would link all keywords for all notes in one or more mindmaps. The, I should be able to access all occurences of a keyword (in all notes resp. pdfs) from my mindmaps. But, it need not to be mind maps. Structured listes (with subitems, subsubitems, and so on) could be a much simpler way to implement the structuring of keywords.

    Crucial in any way would be…

  8. We would like an option where students could highlight the text and have it read to them to help our low readers with difficult text. Maybe have it coordinate with the iPad Accessibility option of text-to-speech.

  9. I read and annotate a lot of PDFs. Some of these PDFs although very compressed and have relatively small size (~30MB). Have lots of pages (200 plus). When I attempt to export back to PDFs, for review on my computer, the file becomes too big (>200MB) to transfer to my computer.

    Please incorporate a PDF like editing engine ( e.g.Adobe, Goodreader, etc) to control the size of exported PDFs with large number of pages)

  12. I import an image of a text and then I highlight the lines I want, but if I need to move the image, the layer with the highlights does not move with the image. This makes all the highlighting I did useless. BTW Notability locks the two layers together.

  13. While taking notes in meetings I find that tasks end up getting embedded in my notes.

    Without having to switch to another task management app it would be convenient to be able to create a task on the fly and have it inserted into the page where I'm taking the notes.

    Then, please allow me to view/manage tasks across the entire notebook, the entire folder or my entire GoodNotes installation.

    For starters, all I would ask for would be the ability to check a task when it's completed and view/sort tasks by notebook / folder / all GoodNotes, checked/unchecked/either, toggle…

  17. If I want to search for a sequence of words, for example "plant protein", GoodNotes currently shows me all instances of "plant" and all instances of "protein". These search results are often not useful.

    It would be awesome if I could add quotes to my search " 'plant protein' " to make GoodNotes return the exact sequence of words I searched for.

    This is pretty similar behavior to most search engines so it should be pretty intuitive to most users and it probably would be pretty easy to change

  20. Instead of the one option of a blue folder we should have the option to change the color of the folder to help distinguish subjects better.
