  1. I had occasion to enter the marina channel after dark, I used my familiarity with the channel plus chart plotter track and radar to safely traverse the narrow channel into the marina. This has probable happen 4 or 5 times before over 40 years of boating.
    I’m thinking of adding a LED light capable of lighting up say 50’ of the area ahead for safer navigation.
    Has anyone done this ? I’ve checked out lights but not sure what size and wattage would work. The top of the pilothouse or radar mast would be the easiest for installation.

  2. Hello there!
    I wanna ask you to change the word "move to trash" to something like "delete" or something like that, I don't like the fact that you say about some notes "trash".
    As you can know sometimes we delete a valuable note just because it is duplicated or some other reason not because it is a trash

  3. Sharing a notebook is very convenient. What I would also like to see is the possibility to write-protect the shared notebook. I work at a school and share my notes with the students by exporting them as PDFs and uploading them to our learning management system. I have to do this over and over again after each new lesson. It would be easier for me to share the Goodnotes notebook directly as a link (all students use GoodNotes on the iPad) without students having the ability to change anything in my document/notebook.

  4. Since some PDFs do not come with their "table of contents" already made, it would be incredibly helpful to be able to create an outline that has sub-sections that can be collapsed. Such as a long textbook with multiple sections each having multiple chapters - would love to be able to easily see the section titles and then expand each as needed to see each chapter within. The textbooks that come with this already made are so nice and it would be nice to be able to do this not only with PDFs but also with my hand written notebooks.

  5. When rotating a page in a PDF document, the width of the single pages varies from the upright to the horizontal ones. This causes vertical scrolling to also scroll left or right sometimes. Double-tapping to zoom also doesn't feel as natural anymore.
    I'd like to have an option to display all pages in the same width. That would solve both problems.

  7. When the zoom window extends past the edge of the page, the next line should appear inline following a grey area to denote the page boundary.

    Currently, the zoom window handles line breaks inconsistently. If the blue 'advance' region is too long for the remainder of the line, it sometimes continues with a carriage return/ line break. However, the auto-advance does not always perform this line break. Sometimes, the blue region appears but only attempts to advance further within the same line. The attached image shows a common scenario: where the zoom window continues well past the edge of the…

  8. I use different colours/pen sizes for different documents. Would be great to be able to create a stationery set or 'profile' to easily switch instead of having to manually change my things every time.

  9. When scrolling through a document, the page number and total page count is displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen. I’d like to be able to double click or long press this display and be prompted to enter the page number I’d like to jump to. Often I’ll be utilizing a PDF of a book with a table of contents that isn’t linked, so being able to manually jump to a page would be handy. Currently I navigate to pages by searching for page numbers and clicking the appropriate page. Depending on the document, this can be clunky…

  10. Redesign the zoom space and add a toolbar in it (red) & add an option to choose more than 3 colours in the top bar (green)
    Maybe an option to allow a selection of colours for each document (6 colours for one, 6 colours for other, etc) because sometimes when you use documents with another colour palette you must change the top colours many times :c

  14. So on my instagram I try to post every few days but sometimes I go 1 or 2 weeks without posting because I'm often too busy with other stuff to draw and not everything I do make I feel like is good enough to put on the internet. when I do post on instagram I'll get 3 or 4 followers but then after a few days of not posting most if not all of them will unfollow me. this happens every time I get new followers and I've only experienced this on instagram. so what gives, is instagram a place…

  15. Sometimes when users want to open a new document. They have to tap return multiple times to all folders if they have more folders inside folders for classification, and finally they can open the document they want. This severely decrease productivity and annoy users.

    To make tab logic easier to understand, one tap for the “+” button can open a new tab for all documents and open the document they want faster.

    Also for the text tool, we hope that users can set three default style for better visual hierarchy in text notes.

  16. All the things at one place - in GoodNotes

    Please add support to as much formats as you can. Even links with just preview would be awesome. I don’t want to have some type of stuff in files and other in GoodNotes. I all the time struggle to find what I have and where.

  17. Please add the function: so that the highlighter can be kept straight, instead of being held for a few seconds and turning into a straight line. This would increase the speed of working, which is often very annoying when it turns into a curve...
