  2. Other pdf apps should be able to detect the bookmarks and outlines.

  3. I would like to be able to import a PDF and have the hyperlinks in it still be clickable. I'm using the app part time for teaching over an Apple TV... Having a lesson outline PDF that I can add notes to is great... But also to have links that go out to the web would be awesome. An in-app browser would be ideal... But even opening in safari would be nice.

  6. Simply an iphone version with both the opportunity to look at and edit all the normal other files created via the iPad, but also a one tap stick note type option for taking smaller simple sticky notes on the the fly when out and about - these too should sync into a specified folder for ipad and dropbox (also ideally Evernote) access

  8. It would be great if you didn't always have to re-select the writing tool you were writing with after selecting the eraser tool to fix a quick writing error/mark on-screen (a handy feature already included in the NotesPlus app to improve workflow when writing).

  9. A lasso type tool that allows me to select a specific area the make a copy of everything inside the selection. Then paste and drag elsewhere in the doc or paste into another doc. This simple tool paired with everything else would allow you to manipulate images and documents freely.

  10. Much of what I import as pdf files is correctly aligned to the page but some come needing to be rotated 90 degrees to be readable. Can you do something to allow us to rotate 90.

  11. Hello gentlemen, may I first congratulate you on the application, and the second to make a request to that you can incorporate to the app. The problem is that when working with photos, these cannot be manipulated, either with the crop tool in the own existing app or well at the time of editing the photo there is a tool that is cutting back because sometimes you need only a small part of the photo for the document in use.

  12. Goodnotes is my weapon of choice for teaching, since I'm able to annotate and zoom right on my slides, during the presentation. Nevertheless, having to juggle two pens (laser pointer + stylus) at the same time is cumbersome and often induces me to humorous mishaps during class, which distracts the attention. I really like Apple's Keynote laser pointer. Why not make something like it!?

  13. I like to organize school notes with colors...one color for titles, another for notes, another for examples. Sometimes I realize the whole last page was a specific example instead of general notes, and I want to change the color of half a page without rewriting it. Lasso to change colors, please.

  14. I've been looking for and was very surprised to not find opportunities to cut a piece of photo you want me to. You have to insert pictures and lose work space or cut them in another application and waste time.

  15. There are several note-taking Apps which provide handwriting recognition. Most of them (actually the ones that I have tested or looked into) provide this kind of recognition with at least one of these two options:
    - they try to recognize handwriting on-the-fly (synchronous) which results in the user having to permanently correct mis-recognized parts of her/his text thus slowing down in writing (useless for taking notes in meetings)
    - they try to recognize handwriting by using web services thus requiring online connection and transfering possible sensitive informations off the users tablet. (useless in situations where no wifi or mobile connections…

  16. It would be very nice to be able to resize the shapes that are auto drawn. Even better would be the ability to snap and unsnap segments of shapes, but I would be happy with resizing the shapes

    We’re happy to announce that the update 5.6.0 that we released today adds an improved shape recognition including the option to hold at the end of a line to make a perfect shape, shape selection & editing, and curve drawing. It further improves the recognition of circles and squares and adds back the ability to draw shapes with the highlighter.

  17. The ability to resume typing and editing in the same text box if you had to close the app or use another tool.

  20. Either a feature or separate app that uses your software to make flash cards at someone could draw on and then be able to flip them on the iPad
