    1. When viewing a book or document in landscape mode, make sure to view it two pages at a time.
      1. Open the outline (table of contents) in a pop-up window so that you can see it as the text. (Please fix the window so that it does not disappear when you touch a part of the table of contents.)
      2. In addition to bookmarking the page, please allow the user to bookmark the content of the text. (I wish I could see the list of bookmarks in the table of contents, and if you touch that part, please go to the text.)

  2. When using ‘open in new window’, a preset functionality where you can choose to open a document with certain another document, or from another folder.

    Ex I want to open notes w/ my textbook. But it is a pain to go to another folder to open my notes every time I change my textbook for another subject

  3. Similar to the other invisible ink request, but with a twist. An ink that only shows on the iPad, so that a person can create fill-in the blank notes that don't show the answers to people watching on a remote monitor, or freehand drawings live, drawing over previously created lines, giving the illusion to the audience or recording that the freehand drawing is being done from scratch. Kind of like a painting over light pencil marks, but in this case, the pencil can only be seen on the iPad, not on the monitor or quicktime recording that the iPad is…

  6. Now iPadOS has very rudimentary mouse support through the AssistiveTough feature. Perhaps it would be nice to make use of this? Currently, in the presentation mode the mouse cursor is hidden, along with other interface elements.

    While GoodNotes 5 already has a very nice laser pointer feature, this still requires you to be near the iPad. On the other hand, when doing a presentation, the ability to move away from the podium would be very nice.

    I happen to have the Logitech Spotlight presenter, and it can actually move the mouse cursor, when paired with my iPad Pro. So, it…

  7. Notability - you drag and drop a url in. You can then click on the link and open in a browser.

    Goodnotes - it just copies plain text from the webpage. Urggh.

  8. On Goodnotes Macbook, I believe that when I want to delete markings in an area, I would use the select function, and circle the area which selects the markings I want to edit and by pressing "delete" on my keyboard. But somehow that doesn't work with goodnotes, and apparently I could only switch to the eraser function. (Somehow the "delete function after double-tap is also greyed out, along with all the other functions including making screenshot, changing colour etc, not sure if its a glitch specifically regarding the macbook version of goodnotes, or is it something im simply not doing…

  9. I'd like to see a native page option lined for calligraphy, italics or drafting/art with oblique vertical lines. Now that I know how to import one (attached here from PrintablePaper.net) that's helpful too but I'd guess there are others I haven't even thought of who would also benefit from an oblique template.

    1. The Lasso tool should work for multiple pages to be converted from hand-writing to text.

    2. If I write from the very top to the very bottom of the page, the Lasso tool is unable to enclose the entire page !

  13. Hy guys
    It‘s actually not a feature, but a little detail that was bothering me...
    Every time I tag an important page and skip to the next page using my Apple-Keyboard, the tag continues for all the following pages. Only by swiping with my fingers the tag remains on the important page.
    Could you do something about that?

    Thanks a lot ;)

  16. I would have Intelligent Inserting Options:
    - Inserting something you copied from above I wish to be able to align the Thing I copied from above with those things. To be able to achieve that I would show up a dotted line downward or if I insert it right to the copied one to have a dotted light horizontally to align all the things. Optional the dotted line is "magnetic" so it pull the thing you want to insert to the dotted reference line, but if you pull it away the reference line disappears

    • when you insert something and want…

  17. I'd like to suggest that you put something like an < and > on either side of the page that can be tapped to turn the page back (if to the left) and forward (if to the right). This would making turning pages much easier. Currently we have to swipe with multiple fingers and it takes multiple swipes to actually turn the page. A directional button like we see in kindle or iBooks would be so simple and make turning pages as easy as tapping the directional icon with the pen tip.
