  1. Right now if I try and resize a selected object, the only option is to resize the object on both dimensions (length and width), but I'd like to be able to resize on only one dimension sometimes.

    For a good implementation example, see the app "Inkflow"... they have both abilities there. But overall I like your app better so... please implement this feature!

  4. Would be great to
    a) browse my Mendeley.com library
    b) work on a selected PDF (highlighting, annotating)
    c) store the edited PDF on Mendeley again

  5. The writing produced in goodnotes is too choppy and not as smooth as the writing produced in the Noteshelf app. Apart from how good your handwriting is, the resulting curves in each handwriting looks more realistic. Please improve the writings produced in GoodNotes so it results in smoother curves and handwriting.

  7. Through log in to a GoodNotes account we should be able to synch data between several devices. (iCloud is sometimes not allowed on company devices). Or allow central data storage (not only backup) at google drive, etc.

  10. Please allow for more options when spacing the distance between paragraph lines. Right now, the lines are spaced at a "double-space" distance.

  13. Add a "drift mode" for writing in zoom mode (not in the zoom window). I hat writing in the zoom window. I much prefer to write directly page, however doing so when zoomed in requires me to manually scroll the page. It should move with me as I write, and I should also have a return button at the edge of the page to advance to the next line automatically.

  15. The handwriting conversion is excellent, but it could do with a couple changes. Having to lasso the text on each page is tedious. Please enable the ability to convert a single page or an entire notebook with a single click. Also give the option to maintain or ignore single end of line breaks. Maintain double line breaks to keep paragraphs.

  18. I love the pen tool in Goodnotes! But I want more custom pens to chose from on the fly. Currently, only the zoom window gives me the choice of three colors. Why can't we have this in the main toolbar at the top? Also, I'd like to set different thicknesses for my customs pens so I can switch between a fine blue pen and a thick red pen with one tap. This would speed up my grading a lot! Thanks!

  19. I read and annotate a lot of PDFs. Some of these PDFs although very compressed and have relatively small size (~30MB). Have lots of pages (200 plus). When I attempt to export back to PDFs, for review on my computer, the file becomes too big (>200MB) to transfer to my computer.

    Please incorporate a PDF like editing engine ( e.g.Adobe, Goodreader, etc) to control the size of exported PDFs with large number of pages)

  20. I would like to know if you could add a function to scan the photos that we take like enhancing the image and cropping automatically (detecting the borders), it would be very useful. I use this app to take notes on the slides provided by the professors during the lectures, however sometimes they change some slide and I usually take a photo of the screen and I import it to my file but the quality is not the same if I use an app that scan images.
