  2. Add support for multi-page templates

    I sometimes create PDFs that I then fill in with Goodnotes. Having support for importing PDFs with multiple pages as templates would be very useful.

  7. Pop up note! Please please add this feature, if good notes had this feature it would be the absolute perfect app!

    This is the only feature that makes Good Reader superior to Good Notes. The ability to have a pop up note allows you to write more things without cluttering up the page. If this was added there would be no need to use another app. Please please!

  10. Add build-in calculator

    Would love to have a built-in calculator when studying my notes. I can't open a calculator while in GoodNotes. I can't open two or more apps at the same time with Ipad. It will be of great help. Thanks.

  13. Erase with a Gesture while using the Pen Tool

    Gestures would erase lines without switching to the Eraser. Allow a variety of gestures: scratch back and forth, make a proof-reader's delete stroke etc. Ideal would be a way to define your own gestures.

    This is a feature at least one other (left nameless) drawing app has, and makes writing/drawing really fluid.

  14. Add/modify touch gestures for undo and redo something

    I would like to have an fast way to undo or redo something without aiming for the small buttons all the time. Maybe it is possible to implement a two-finger-swipe area to cover this function. Even if it would be only active during the editing in the zoomed window mode this would be increase the workflow.

  15. Expandable folder/file list

    If there was one thing I could change or add to it would be the library view, I don't particularily like the virtual bookshelf that so many apps use. I'd much prefer a simple expandable folder/file list, ideally sortable on file name and revision date.

  17. Add shortcuts for "Page Width" to fit the page to the screen width

    Can w add a shortcuts for "Page Width" (just like what we have in Microsoft Word) to zoom the page so that the width of the page match the width of the screen?

    This is very useful when you want switch the iPad Mini to landscape view (to have bigger text size or get bigger keyboard to type faster).

    This is also useful when you want to switch back to a page width zoom level after you zoom it for some purpose.

  20. Knowledge management capabilities

    I am working with lots of pdfs and it's really fun to read an annotate them with GoodNotes. However, I'd like to use keywords and attach them everywhere in my notes (pdfs). Thereafter, I'd would link all keywords for all notes in one or more mindmaps. The, I should be able to access all occurences of a keyword (in all notes resp. pdfs) from my mindmaps. But, it need not to be mind maps. Structured listes (with subitems, subsubitems, and so on) could be a much simpler way to implement the structuring of keywords.

    Crucial in any way would be…
