  2. Allow a Label next to the page number in Thumbnail view - so that when I click on thumbnails, I can see what the topic of a particular page is.

  3. I would like a function to add Tooltips to elemts or text. So for example one can add a definiton or further Information (even an image) to a word.
    Otherwise it would help to enhance the comment function with more possibilities, especially adding images.

  5. Are there plans to support the new iPad Pencil "Hover" feature in GoodNotes soon? This feature provides awareness of where the pencil will start writing or drawing before the pencil is on the iPad screen. This helps with both drawing and writing accuracy.

  6. for using the Text tool with an Apple Pencil, add some movement or mark that indicates "new line" or "paragraph." Currently I must stop writing, open the keyboard and tap "return" when perhaps some Pencil gesture could accomplish this.

  8. I am enjoying the app and the features of being able to create different notebooks! I draw little squares a lot to indicate To Dos. It would be beneficial to create an option for this that recognizes it as a To Do and aggregates all of them in the front page or front cover of the notebook or somewhere in the app.

    Being able to enter dates and being able to skip to a date would be helpful as well.

    Great app! Simple to use. Saves me at least $45/year in good notebooks. You could charge more than you do.

  9. Having written black pages with white font color, it would be great to just switch to the negative (page turning white, white font color changing black, the other colors don’t change) to print the notebook.

    Would love to have this feature !

  10. Could you please try handwriting on GoodNotes with the iPad M2, it is really strange and writes small lines at the end of each letter if you write fast. I believe that it is due to the pencil hoover feature, since this is implemented correctly on the apple app “notes” where the writing seems fine. Thanks

  11. When writing while holding the iPad in portrait or landscape mode I often rest my land on the screen to leverage. As approachthe second vertical half of the page I run out of room and have to comfort my hand which causes a great deal of strain. Attempting to scroll further beyond the page boundary rubberbands, with no effect. Is like to be able to over-scrolljust under half a page so that i can fill the sheet similar to how scribble Let's me over-scroll in this basic textarea field on you support form.

    Thanks.

  16. You have the bookmarks, but including a priority star at the top as a reminder to revisit the document as a whole would be helpful for those in school

  19. It would be amazing to be able to add a grid overlay to documents. I primarily use GoodNotes to annotate note slide pdfs with blank backgrounds and i find it would be much easier to have neat and straight printing if this feature was offered.

  20. I am using GoodNotes for work. I have multiple notebooks covering different topics, and sometimes certain points would be relevant in multiple notebooks.

    Was thinking that an ability to ‘twin’ a page to another notebook would be helpful. Not just a link, but twinning. For illustration,

    Notebook A has pages A1, A2, A3.
    Notebook B has pages B1, B2, B3.

    Now, I can twin page A2 into Notebook B, so its pages become
    B1, B2, A2, B3. Notebook A remain as A1,A2,A3

    After twinning, Whatever changes made in NotebookB, page A2 will be reflected in Notebook A and vice versa.
