  1. Full screen mode for thumbnails

    To effectively look over the multiple pages, I believe we need a full screen mode for thumbnails. And if it is possible to change the size of each thumbnail, that would be really convenient.

  2. make the zoom window size adjustable

    It looks like you are getting a lot of requests that fall into this category. I write small. The zoom window is magnified just too much for me, so even though my writing looks much better if I use this function it is tiny in the document. Writing in huge big strokes in the zoom window means it takes me longer to write. If I could reduce the zoom window height by 20%, this would help a ton.

  4. add an option for adding page numbers (that change automatically when pages are added / deleted)

    Have the option to add page numbers to the notebook pages. I sometimes need to reference a page of my notebook along with a task form another page or notebook, right now I don't see a way to have page numbers happen automatically when adding or deleting pages from the notebook. Having a link system (so my task says "see notes on page 4" and when I insert a new second page - the note is now on page 5, the text would change "see notes on page 5".)

    try this instead  ·  AdminGoodnotes (Moderator, GoodNotes) responded

    In GoodNotes 5 we implemented the option to create infinite subfolders to replace the concept of “categories” in GoodNotes 4. Consider using multiple documents in a subfolders instead of adding everything to one notebook. If you want to further divide your notebook internally, you can use bookmarks or custom outlines to label your pages.

  6. 'Undo' and 'Apply' shape recognition

    Sometimes I write an entire word in cursive and when I am done I realize shape recognition was on and the word becomes unreadable. I want to be able to press 'undo' and undo only the shape recognition step, recovering the word I just wrote. This is an intuitive way to make the program more useful without complicating the interface. It would also allow me to use 'undo' and 'redo' repeatedly to compare the results with and without shape recognition and decide if I want to keep them.

    In addition: after I draw a triangle without shape recognition, allow me…

  11. Templates

    More templates and paper types would be good. I would love to notes templates with ability to type in the date, a To Do list would be also great. It would also be good to be able to change the colour or style of your notebook once it has been created

  12. Enable Strikethrough to remove incorrect words in a single stroke

    Enabling strikethrough would give me the option of quickly deleting word(s) that I wrongfully entered. It saves me time compared to when I pick the eraser tool, erase items, and choose the pen tool again and then write.

  13. I want finger gesture operations

    I want to be able to operate by using "apple pencil" and "finger" different function. When using "pen" with apple pencil, range selection (or eraser) with one finger, "undo" with two finger tap etc. I think this app gets more operability that will be improved, I hope you will improve the tool! Thank you!

  14. create the ability to 'flatten' text, images, etc

    Having the ability to flatten would create a document that I could continue to write over but then do an "erase all" but not erase the flattened part.

    I am a math teacher and sometime I write down a problem that I would like to keep to show to the next class or use next year. I would like the ability to keep the problem without exporting and re-importing it into GoodNotes as a pdf.

  18. Restart app with all notebooks that were open before closing app

    It would be so helpful if the app could open with all the notebooks I had open before I accidentally closed the app like Safari will reopen with all the tabs I had open. I work on several notebooks open at a time with work projects for different clients and the times I've closed out of the app entirely...they are not open when I restart the app.
