  1. I have documents open. I quit Goodnotes on my iPad Pro (swipe up). The next time a open Goodnotes I have to drill down into one of my folders to open one of my documents to open the section of the app that shows all of my documents I had previously been working on. A button on the home screen that lets me resume previous session without the drill down would be spectacular.

  5. Need favourites form for pencil, highlighter and text.
    I usually use Good note 5 for Studying, and I feel it is not comfortable to using.
    If you make a form that I can set up my favourites pencil especially a typeof pencil and colour and what ever, It would be very useful for people. Also the Text function has problem. when i want to change the font, it is very inconvenience. Because you even didn't have "recently use".
    I really like Good note5. But some functions are really improved.

  7. I use this to take notes ehile inspecting houses. I take 50-60 or more during an inspection. While I can save each one individually (one at a time) to camera roll it would be awesome if that could happen automatically.

  8. Current state of the art in remote proctoring of exams is for students to be monitored via a webcam by a real person. As the exam is uploaded there is still room to cheat or to have someone else impersonate you. Handwritten exams have to be scanned at the end for upload. This service is not really available right now due to the lockdown and Universities are scrambling to find solutions that any way secure.
    If you write out your exam via goodnotes and you can record the forward facing cam and attach the two as a file this might…

  9. When you are operating with Black paper and writing in white ink, the application should reverse the colors when printing (if you want to). I run dark mode to make it easier on my eyes. When I go to print I do not think we want to print all black ink over the entire page.

  12. It would be great to sync saved custom colours so that we won't need to make it again after reinstalling app or after installing it on multiple devices.

  13. Today, when you want to use the fountain pen in Green at a size of 1,5mm for some elements PLUS the ball pen in black at a size of 0,3mm, you have to always switch the 3 characteristics ALL THE TIME :

    1. Tap Pen > switch Fountain / Ball
    2. Tap Colour > switch the colour
    3. Tap Size > switch the size >> In real paper life, you drop the first pen and take the other one... it should the same here

    Solution Needed :
    1. You let us define / save the 3 elements at the same time & allow…

  16. Have the option to have multiple default text font options like Notability does. Having to change each time to make a different font or font size is very tedious so having the option to have some preset font options in font style and size will make Goodnotes unbeatable!

  17. when you copy/paste something and add it at another place/page, you may not see everything, since it overlaps the page. As long as you still have the edit-window open, it's not an issue. However, when you tap on the page accidentally and you lose th edit-window, you're not able to see the text which is not directly on the page.
