  2. Pinch Page to Thumbnail View

    Please provide the option to pinch out to the page library from within a specific page. Example: When on page 5 of a 30 page document, the user pinches inward to shrink the page to a thumbnail whereby the user can quickly scroll down to page 30 and select to directly open that page.

  3. Add handwriting practice paper

    I’d like a paper template that uses the solid & dashed lines for handwriting practice. Many of us are new to writing on a tablet, and GoodNotes is sophisticated enough for practice to matter. I’m talking about paper lined like this:

  4. Stamp

    I love the app! It's the best Notes app ever. I would like to have a stamp function. For example with a logo and a signature, which you can insert and design yourself. I complete a lot of pdf's sent out and must sign this and stamp. As a stamp, I always add a picture of the additional function. Goes, would be with the function however much easier.

  5. Enable Fountain Pen style with Apple Pencil

    When using Apple Pencil, a terrific combination with GoodNotes and the iPad Pro, there is no difference between the Ball Pen style and the Fountain Pen style. As a result, the beautiful look of handwritten ink with the Fountain Pen style is unavailable, a severe tradeoff for the added precision of the Apple Pencil. Please enable the Fountain Pen style with Apple Pencil. Thanks!

  7. Es sollte Zeichengeräte in Goodnotes geben

    Ich nutze Goodnotes viel im Mathematikunterricht für Tafelanschriebe usw. Ich finde das Programm super, vor allem der Präsentationsmodus ist genial.
    Was mir noch fehlt sind Zeichengeräte (Lineal, Geodreieck -> so ähnlich wie in der Notizen App von Apple), damit könnte ich Goodnotes noch viel umfassender nutzen...

  8. Add ability to return to tab screen from document list screen without opening new document

    When browsing to open a document, it is impossible to return to the tabbed document screen without opening a new document. It would be nice to be able to return to the tabbed document screen without being required to open a new document.

  9. Import Email message directly to Goodnotes

    I want to import Outlook email messages into Goodnotes.

    Currently I use a computer to print the email as a pdf and send it to myself that I import directly into goodnotes.
    Is there a faster way? Can I do this on the iPad without needing a computer to print the email?

    Can you create an app

  10. Split view incorporating Drag and Drop from iOS11

    If we could have two documents open at the same time within GoodNotes and then use drag and drop for moving, text, ink, etc...

    By split view I mean it needs to be like you get splitview on Safari on the iPad.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  14. 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".)

  15. Create folders within notebooks

    To be able to organise pages into sub folders 'within' each notebook would be very useful.

    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.

  16. '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…
