1. Allow instantaneous backup- Google Drive + customized for each file/document/notebook ++ make GoodNotes compatible with PC and Android!

   It would be amazing if we could choose which Google Drive account and specific location we want to backup any specific folder, document or notebook within GoodNotes (think: then we could share certain notebooks with certain people via a shared Google Drive folder automatically and other folders with other people, while saving still other files in a different, personal Google Drive account). Auto backup should still work to save most recent files, but if there should be an “instantaneous backup” option as well.

   More importantly, making GoodNotes compatible with Android/PC for real cross-device syncing would make the experience so much better.

2. Magnifying Glass/ Reading tool

   I have recently begun using the desktop version a lot more since my 4-year-old has effectively stolen my iPad. I love that I can use the app seamlessly between my devices. However, I have noticed that it is difficult for me, especially when using two windows of GoodNotes, to maintain a natural reading experience. I'm trying to take notes while reading a PDF imported to GoodNotes on the left and have my note-taking notebook open in a window on the right.

   I would love a tool that allowed users to place their cursor within the text of a document and activate a type of magnifying glass. Possibly with a timer so that it automatically moved at a pace that the user has the ability to set so that one could read their information and then pause and type in notes when desired.

   Having to zoom in and then move along the page then try to keep your place when notetaking then back to reading... it feels too cumbersome to me.

   First world problem? Maybe. Way to simplify my life and elevate GoodNotes to an even high level for me? DEFINITELY!

3. Kickstarter-like user pledges of $$$ to fund new feature development

   I love that users can propose new functionality and vote on others’ suggestions.

   What if users who are really keen on seeing certain projects get up, could also pledge $$ to help fund development of specific features?

   It would be a way of us putting our money where our mouths are. If lots of users really want to see a feature, and if we all throw in even a dollar or two behind that feature, then this could give you the resources to pay for hiring developers to implement that idea.

   You could even offer an Incentive Scheme — that those users who pledge (I don’t know, what’s a reasonable amount?) $20 or more towards features they’d like to seee implemented, will receive a free upgrade when the next full-version paid update of GoodNotes is released. After all, the money they would have pledged is what would have helped to implement the features present in the version.)

   This way, even if the money I’ve pledged towards different features only sees some of my features implemented, I would still benefit since now I’d have access to a free update.

   And if I’m lucky enough that others also pledge money for the same features that I pledge money for, that would hopefully give you lovely folks at GoodNotes reason to prioritise implementing these features, and again I’d be super happy to see the features we really want coming out sooner.

   Would anybody else here be prepared to pledge a few bucks towards the ideas they’d like to see implemented as new features?

4. altering the size (dimensions) of pages in documents by adding space or cropping

   I like to annotate the articles I read with scribbles, notes, sketches, etc.

   So when I find an interesting story, rather than reading the online version, I screenshot it on my iPad, and then select the option to save the whole page as one long single-page PDF, rather than just saving the PNG of the screenshotted image.

   Ufortunatly, on some web pages this doesn’t capture the whole page, an so the last few paragaphs might be missing.

   Here’s what I’d like to be able to do when that happens.

   First, take screenshots of the material that’s missing and save these PNGs into the iPad’s photo album.

   Then, with the incomplete PDFs open in GoodNotes, I’d like to add more white-space at the bottom of the document — effectively, the reverse of when you crop an article, since I’d be dragging the current crop marks from the bottom further downwards to create fresh empty space using the same colour as the colour of the page that I’m extending. (Or maybe to have a dialogue that asks by how much longer or wider I’d like to make the document, and whether I want to add this extra real estate on all four sides, or just on the indicated sides — in the example I’m giving, I’d be adding real estate at the bottom of the page).

   Finally, once I have this extra real estate on the page, I could paste on the screenshot images I took of the missing material, to ensure that the whole document is there, and that it is rendered in the original font (which it would be, since they’re screenshots).

   I encounter this problem very often, and it would be awesome of GoodNotes had the functionality to expand the size of PDF document pages.

   As another user mentioned (and I’ll give their request a thumbs up in a minute), page CROPPING would also be so helpful.

   Thanks for listening, for the single product I use most on my iPad (I effectively almost live out of GoodNotes, including live lecture presentations with a connection to an overhead projector, etc). And, naturally to read all the articles. :)

5. Hierarchical Levels in Outlines Tab

   Allow users to make actual outlines in the outline tab, with main topics, subtopics, etc.

   This would be especially beneficial for notebooks to allow further organization/structure.

8. More brush/pen styles + let users use procreate brushes on app

   I have several realistic brushes for procreate such as muji pen and 6B pencil and i believe it would give potential customers more incentive to use GoodNotes if they were able to write with a realistic handwriting or change the style of their pen. This increased customisation would result in a better ability to feel like you truly are studying. Please do add it in as I have taken to writing on procreate and importing it into GoodNotes and it is a rather inconvenient process/ situation that GoodNotes is well capable of improving to their benefit. Sincerely, Tabitha

10. Hyperlinks shapes.

    Allow users to add a hyperlink hot spot. So that if you tap on it, it takes you to another page/area.

    This way you can create what seems like interactive mockups.

11. enable the ability to erase a certain color of handwritten notes

    The current eraser generally erases everything. However, this is a problem with complex text that is possibly highlighted or circled in different colors, for example, with mathematical equations or problems. An eraser that is able to selectively erase a certain color will make it easier to remove unwanted colored text instead of having to erase everything and rewrite it.

12. Go back to "Last Viewed Page" in Good Notes 5

    This was a feature in Good Notes 4, but I could not find it in Good Notes 5.
    https://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/4115825--last-viewed-page-button has it marked as completed, so I felt the new comments may not be noticed. I'm posting a new thread for it.

    Thanks.

14. Add Presentation Mode to GoodNotes 5 for Mac

    The possibility to use GoodNotes 5 for Mac with Sidecar gives us the chance to deliver reach presentations with the Mac, using GoodNotes for Mac as a whiteboard, and the Sidecar-connected iPad + Apple Pencil for drawing on the whiteboard.

    Adding a Presentation Mode to GoodNotes for Mac -- especially including Laser Pointers -- would improve considerably this practice.

15. Two separate files/notebooks simultaneously visible on same tab (not split view]

    I think split view is a useful tool to take advantage of but still not as efficient/user friendly as I’d like it to be.

    Example: I want to read a pdf document and take notes of that content as I’m reading through the document. While split view can facilitate this situation, it takes too much screen space with all the tools. It’s also two separate documents that aren’t really linked/associated with each other.

    Solution A: add a sticky note tool option to the toolbar so that we can have a floating sticky note on whatever page we’re on. This has been suggested already and think it would be useful. Maybe it’s a floating sticky note that can be collapsed and expanded as we read through the document. This sticky note is essentially its own document that can be opened separately from the PDF document where it was originally created (almost like linking a notebook into a PDF document). If we open the original PDF document, we should still be able to access the sticky note content as well.

    Solution B: Essentially the same thing as solution A, but instead of a sticky note, it would be an actual notebook. We should have the option of clicking the toolbar and adding a sheet that would also be collapsible/expandable and floating.

     Example: I’m reading a 15 page Document (PDF or notebook), and I’d like to take notes of some of the content. I want to take notes from page 3,6,8, and 10. In the end I’d have a separate notebook that is only 4 pages long. This notebook can then be opened separately so as to review the content but would also be linked/associated with the original document that it was created in (if I open the 15 page document I would still be able to see the 4 pages in whatever location they were originally created)
    

    I know this is a lot but I hope it makes sense and I hope others will find this useful. I can create some mockups of what I mean if that would help.

18. Double a drawing with the lasso tool

    If I select an area with the lasso, e.g. a math drawing such as a triangle , I want to double it sometimes because I often need it multiple times but right now I have to draw it again because there's no feature to double it. So it would be nice to get the 'double' feature on the lasso tool. This is really needed for all students!

19. Scale imported PDF to GoodNotes 5 standard paper size

    When I import a PDF to an existing notebook I have been using for handwritten notes, the PDF size is much larger and makes it so I have to keep zooming in and out as I read through my notes. Please make it so that there is an option so scale my imported PDF to standard GoodNotes 5 paper size to match the rest of my notebook!

20. "Fullscreen"-Button, Consistent scrolling gesture throught app and template sizes

    Dear Team,

    just as the most video apps you can convert via one button to a "fullscreen" option. This would be great for the writing paper to have one button on the top right to activate a fullscreen option for that the page you are writing on fits perfektly with only slight bezels left and right but still keeps all tool functions on the top pinned. Also this funktion shall then only allow to scroll as you have setup the scrolling direction. Yes, a double tap on the paper converts to the "fullscreen" option but doesn't lock on to that before chosen scrolling direction.

    My next point is that it is truly anoying that I have to scroll with two fingers on the page but when I change to the overview to my notebooks I select with this same gesture the notebooks. Please swith back to either scroll with one finger or be consistent that one has to scroll with both in all menue listings.

    Further it would be great to not only choose the template as you already have (for. e.g. DIN A4, Letter, etc) but also choose the grid size or line seperation. Just as in GoodNotes4 with DIN A3 and the option of small, medium, large grid or line seperation.

    But now for the best part! Thanks for creating such an awesome app! I'm using it since the very first day I bought my iPad Pro (over two years ago) and there is not one other app I'm using several hours per day that gets me so productive! Big THX to the entire team!
