  1. Have Libraries with Bookshelves to store the Notebooks

  2. One thing I would love to see is a possibility for inserted images to easily go to crop mode without going to the menu. Maybe a dedicated button could be added like the button for deleting the image and resizing it.

  4. A template with an automatic numbering system. The template would have a positionable "page number" feature, with the option to have the total page count as well. I wouldn't have to manually add "1 of 6", "2 of 6" to my pages, then change them all if I add a 7th page.

  5. Hide bar showing the multiple files when I’m editing one specific file. Request: When I wanna switch, I’ll click the screen and call upon that bar to switch between files. Pictorially explained in photo.

  6. I mainly use this app for studying, so I would like to request there’s a view only option so I can review and study everything I wrote without accidentally editing anything.

  7. Not only could you translate the format, but this could really work well with the "Send to Kindle" feature.

  8. I know you have a Flash card tool and spaced repetition but only inside of a document. It would be great to have a separate place where you have all your flash cards within the Goodnotes app and it tells you when to study what and you then go to the specific document

  9. The option to "favourite" a page can do this, but it would be much better if there was an option to mark a page as a "doubt". Or select a certain area and mark that as a "doubt". Also, if possible, a small caption option should also be there with the doubt and you could see all doubts in one place like the way we can see favourites. This would be very helpful when we get a doubt while revising and have to wait to ask somebody for clarification

  10. Not all students are goodnotes/apple users. As teachers we should get the opportunity to share link with people so that changes made to that document gets uodated via that link. We don't have to export documents multiple times.

  12. I use a lot of screenshot capture using a noose.
    In this case, the image quality drops a lot.

    I wish it could be modified to convert the PDF into an image.
    In this case, an image of 300 dpi will be less degraded. 600dpi is great.

  14. A highlighter option that changes the colour of your notes by just highlighting the text instead of using the colour option on the lasso tool.

    Would be very helpful as I no longer use the normal highlighter because it looks ugly.

  15. Currently, as soon as the GoodNotes is launched, it always opens the note that was last worked on. This is even if all notes were closed before the app was closed.

    I would like to see an option that allows GoodNotes to start in the last case described so that none of the existing notes are opened (and the user gets to see the document overview instead).

  16. When I want to lay out small handwriting and details on a page, the lasso tool expanding the size of my selection makes it harder to place the contents in the exact right place. I want to be able to get it exactly right, I can’t imagine a single situation where the zooming in/expanding thing it does would be useful. If the text was big enough for me to select it, I do not need it to grow and get more confusing. Please turn off that feature.

  17. A keyboard shortcut to toggle between read-only and edit modes. (⌘R perhaps?)

    For both the Mac and iPad versions

    I use a planner with hyperlinks and frequently have to toggle between the two modes, as the hyperlinks are easier to use in Read-only mode

  18. It would be so fantastic and handy if there is a painting tool to write show/hidden text. We can use it while writing notes to write keywords, saving time to new a “Flash Card”.

  19. Hi. I LOVE the addition of elements to Goodnotes. This has increased my user experience ten fold!

    One Request: I often am zoomed way in when I'm taking notes, so I have a larger screen surface and more notes on a page. It would be helpful if when adding a saved element to a page, the element is placed where you are zoomed in, versus in the center of the page. Or, have the ability to use the lasso tool to circle an area, and add the element to that area.

    Having to zoom out, grab the element, and drag…

  20. In the iPad version, bookmarks and the outline appear as a pop-up, but it would be more convenient if they could appear as a side menu, the same way they appear in the MacOS version.

    This would enhance navigation in the iPad version as we can then keep the bookmark/outline bar open to quickly move to different sections of a file, and then close the side-menu when not needed.
