  1. Hi,

    For example, when we're using a red pencil and convert it to text the fond of the text become black. Can you add an option so by default the color of the font is the same as the original handwritten note?

    Thanks

  2. I read books in PDF. The editorial margins are usually decided for print publication. I would like the ability to increase the page size to have more space to take notes.

    Thanks.

  3. Hi, I hope you can make a feature so that I can edit the a specific bookmark and change the page number without having to delete it.

    For example, when I use Foxit Reader (a PDF reader software), I can set bookmark at page 10, Then jump to page 30, and then 'Set this a new destination'. So that I have changed the page number of the bookmark

  4. From Notability, I miss the ability to add image text to images in my notes. When using several images/figures in my notes, I miss the ability of being able to tag these images with appropriate image text to tie them to handwritten text elsewhere in the same note. I’d much appreciate it if this feature is added in a future update.

  5. Implement the ability to have the option to single tap a tool to enable auto deselect and long press to disable auto deselect. The user can have the option to enable auto deselect as is now. If it’s enabled, then a single tap of that tool will activate the tool with auto deselect but a long press would activate the tool and temporarily disable the auto deselect until the user switches back to another tool. Going into sub menus to enable and disable this feature each time is time consuming and distracting.

  8. Some documents are better viewed managed in vertical scrolling other in horizontal. For example, a document I am reading is better in horizontal, with fixed page dimensions, a note that I am jotting down is better in vertical to allow passing through pages. GoodNotes should retain the selection made per document while applying the same selected mode for the open documents. Ditto would be for the pencil and highlight colours.

  9. You can add a name to the bookmark arbitrarily.I want to know why I added it directly.The name can improve the efficiency of retreading, and can also be used as an effective review tool.

  10. After a day of meetings, I find myself not remembering to go back to the "action items" (or forgetting the action items.) Would be so powerful if action items were automatically added to iOS reminders, or even if there was a quick manual way (i.e., circle the actions with lasso and have option to create/add to remdiners.)

  11. Wenn man ein Bild zuschneidet und die Größe anpasst und dieses dann kopieren und woanders einfügen will, sollte die Kopie die gleiche Größe haben und nicht eine x-beliebige. Das würde SEHR viel Zeit sparen, als jede Kopie neu auf die ungefähr gleiche Größe anzupassen.

  14. The multitasking slide over from the left in Notability is super slick. Goodnotes NEEDS this... It's quick, clean, and super smooth.

  15. 1) When importing docs into Goodnotes 5 and exporting to other places, file names become all lower cases. This is extremely annoying and Goodnotes 4 didn't have this problem.

    2) Please allow renaming the filename by tapping on the tab. Goodnotes 4 allowed this function, but now this function is gone in Goodnotes 5.

    3) Want to sort files by types or other orders, not just name.

  16. when using the app in split view, it would be interesting to have a command that allows you to select a specific area on the screen that automatically creates a snapshot and pastes it inside the document in which you are writing (avoiding having to do the classic iOS screenshot)

  18. when I tap the lasso tool, I would love that there will be an option in the menu for shapes created by shape tool, just like those options for handwriting, images, text boxes.

    For instance. Sometimes I might write on color-filled shapes. I would lasso it if I need to move it, but it would be impossible to move the handwriting without the shape along with it, because the shape was color-filled and I wrote on it.

  20. Please reintroduce the go back option that was present in goodnotes 4 in goodnotes 5. That allowed us to go back to an initial page if we clicked on a internal link. It’s so annoying to be forced to scroll back the full document once a link has been clicked.
