  1. Other sync options (Dropbox, Google, Box, etc..) I have iCloud blocked by a policy installed so I can access my job email in the iPhone. This has completely restricted the sync option for me .. seems like a very good idea to give alternate syncing options for probably even more reasons than just this one that happened to me.

  2. Black paper background would be easier to distinguish lighter colors vs the current options of white and yellow(?).

  3. add the ability to embed a spreadsheet (or word document) and use it as a true spreadsheet - be able to access drop down lists and conditional formatting, etc. This would put me over the moon since this is already an amazing app.

  4. If you reach the end of the paper it is uncomfortable to write. Instead of creating a new page by switching to the next side, you can offer the possibility for continuous scrolling downwards.

  5. Strongly request a way to set the paper size to 100% zoom so that I know how big that my handwriting will be when I actually print it out.

  9. The pdf outline tab is a great feature and it is already incorporated.
    It would be fabulous to use this collapsable outline to structure and easily navigate lengthier notebooks. For instance for study notes this would be more than helpful.
    On the other i could often use these little red flags as bookmark signs like other apps have (bamboo paper, notability and most ebook readers). This is faster because you dont need to specify a bookmark text, you can unmark easily and you have a visual clue in the thumnail preview.
    The bookmarks tab could then be used to show…

  10. Restore 2 finger pan. Allow 1 finger to select an area to lasso, or erase, or some function that can be customized.

  12. I wish the Search function were on the main toolbar! Having it buried 2 or 3 clicks deep in the '(Other) Options' menu, I often forget about it! It's such a great tool, that I think I would use it much more frequently if it was a single touch away!

  14. It would be nice if there were an option to autocorrect shapes. If I really want a diamond (decision) shape, but didn't draw a perfect shape, it'd be nice if there were a way for me to indicate I want autocorrection to adjust the angles so it's perfect. Same goes for circles, squares and rectangles (right angle correction). An example of this concept is how Paper does this, though my preference is to use GoodNotes. :)

  15. I would like to be able to draw a series of precise, connected, straight lines segments by tapping a start point then having each subsequent tap define the end point of the next segment.

    It would also be nice to have an option to make the end points snap to a grid.

  16. If I create new note and I want to insert PDF page into that note I'm working on, this function is not available. The only way is to add the PDF page to your notebook as a separate page.

    Sometimes, we need to create notes and support that notes with a PDF document.

  17. I really like the ability to lock a page position and zoom when using Goodnotes as an electronic whiteboard for lecturing. However, a rather annoying trait is that the screen lock turns off every time the page advances.

    It would be nice to have an option to "lock all pages".

  18. I would like to choose which notebooks / documents get synced through iCloud. I have plenty of documents on my iPad that I don't want to have on my iPhone. Things like PDF manuals or PDF presentations that I just can't use on the smaller iPhone screen.

  19. Since the iPad Pro differentiates between pencil and finger interaction why not while using the pencil allow the finger to erase. This would be very efficient for the users.

  20. Add the option to hyperlink from the cut tool options. Basically anything I circle I can assign a link to take me to the associated content.
