  1. It would be really beneficial to add another pen tool along the banner (alongside the pen and highlighter tool) which allows a much larger pen size design for colouring in, allowing for ease in drawing diagrams etc. Currently, the pen tool does not go large enough and the highlighter tool overlaps the colour making a block colour difficult to achieve. Additionally, rather than just giving you a circle as the pen stamp, squares or lines could be added as brushes.

  2. We are already able to copy an image to clipboard with the lasso tool.
    Would be great if we could insert that image later again.
    At the moment we need to safe it to photos and insert it from there, which can quickly mess up our photos.

  3. I take notes for grad school using your app. You have categories. But within those categories I want to be able to organize into sub categories based on the modules that are being covered

  7. Could you guys consider to create a function that users can insert page numbers to files so that it's more convenient for users to arrange when they printed it out as well as going through their notes in devices.

  8. We should be able to add shapes from a predefined set of shapes from the developers. Plus we should be able to save our own custom shapes like for eg a rectangle with different length and breadth or a elliptical shapes etc

  9. 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

  13. There are lots of comments regarding different colour templates. It would be great if the background colour could simply be changed whilst continuing to use the same template format. Either that or include a spectrum of colours for each template design so changing the paper template doesn't affect the notes already taken.

  14. 1 even when images are created at exactly the same resolution (as the PDF it is placed in) you still have to resize the image on import. I would like to have the option to place the image at the original size, instead of having to size it up. #2 resizing is a pain in the butt if you are trying to get absolute perfection. With the new drag and drop feature, if you hold too long on a corner, the entire image want you to drag and drop it somewhere and you have to start the resize over again.

  16. Hi, it would be nice if we could fix a default (preferred) size for the zoom window, or see the exact size so we can chose the right one for each type of document. I do not know if it is already possible.
    For the moment, if I change the zoom window for some reason, I can't return to my preferred exact size after.

    I am sorry if this idea has already been proposed, I could not find it.

  17. For a fully functional editing of longer handwritten notes (with math) I miss inserting things in between (and conversely removing something erased elsewhere). Although tracing with the lasso tool the perimeter around a paragraph is too tedious, a selection tool that can select the whole lines (maybe snap to the text a bit) would be great.

    Although an option for drawing only with Apple pencil but not with hand is needed.

  19. I use GoodNotes to create revision notes. The ability to add videos and/or embed online videos from sites such as you tube or Vimeo would be a great asset. Moreover, the ability to either link, or embed Microsoft documents such as PowerPoint/excel/word would also be very very useful. That way I could condense 25 thick binders full of info, into one place on my iPad.

  20. Allow users to create their own sub-bookmark (as of write now, you are only able to import a document with the sub-bookmarks already created)
