  7. Please add the feature to solve maths stuff. your program can detect numbers, why not implement a calculator? work together with other brands. I dont really care just add the feature. to detect whether you want to solve something you could add a shortcut a a symbol you have to write first, like a = with another line maybe

  8. I would love the see an update that adds the option to make GoodNotes zoom into the page in such a way, that it represents the exact measures of a DINA4 page. I need this, because always if I get a task that includes measuring something, I have to print the page and then I can measure it. It would be great if I could just do that on my device.

  10. Add a filter to show only pages with annotations in the document.
    That way we could only export pages with annotations .

  11. Is there any way to select a default folder instead of the root folder (I’m using Google Drive) to export a note in pdf (using iPad version) ?

    I always need to select subfolders after subfolders to put my file to the right place.

  12. Sometimes it is usefull to place a digital post-it and take some notes on it.
    If the post-it was placed over already existing text it is impossibile to remove it with the notes taken without affecting the text below.
    Having the possibility to select only text handwritten in a specif colour could be a solotion

  13. Please add an option to put the highlighter under the writing instead of over it, to make and keep it more colourful. Currently, the highlighter makes the writing black looking.

  15. This is a feature request for some way of grouping and then loading documents as a set of tabs.

    I have a bunch of PDFs, which I use for a number of different projects. If I'm working on a piece of software, it's valuable to have various manuals open (with or without notes). If I'm prepping for a week's worth of teaching, it's nice to have all of that week's materials laid out in tabs: slides, lecture notes, the readings for the week, etc. In most cases, I end up also loading up a GoodNotes notebook for sketches, notes, etc.

  16. For the users who have their Goodnotes app on their personal devices and use Mac at work, it would be great to give them the option of signing in our personal iCloud account on the Mac from Goodnotes (instead of using the system iCloud account, which belongs to the company).

    I could sign in Appstore with my personal Apple ID and download Goodnotes for free on my company Mac but I cant use it since it doesnt sync with my own iCloud account.

  17. I'd like the Goodnotes file system to be integrated with the Apple file system such that you could access all the .goodnote files in their relevant folders through the Apple files app. An example of a use case for this would be when transferring many pdfs into the app, a simple drag and drop or creation of folders and files in the Files app, would allow you to import many files or move them quickly.

  18. I am a left-handed user and I write in Hebrew which means I write from right to left most of the time unlike English (left to right). The app needs that the zoom window will support Hebrew it will help so so many other users that are just like me and will attract way more potential users.

  19. The color and font and size of the word you enter should be preserved in a few ways like writing. instead of saving only one.

  20. At first I wanted the Preset colours to be linked to a document.
    Because I don't use the same colour for my pro notes depending on the client / subject.

    Then I realised that it wasn't much helpful neither since you change subject / colour style at least twice a day and you have to reset them every time you create a new notebook.

    The easier solution would be to have different palettes (see attached doc) with different Names :
    - a palette for my meetings with clients,
    - another for my night courses
    - another for my diary...

    and…
