  3. I have a really good idea and I would be very happy if it really came to fruition.
    Full Screen Mode - Most of the iPad's screen looks relatively small and you should utilize the entire screen for neat and optimized writing.
    In addition to this is another tool control button idea,
      Instead of changing the tool from pen to pen every moment and then to pen again and then to marker and then to pen and then to eraser and pen again to do just such a large frost float that it can be swapped quickly saves a…

  5. I would like the be able to pin the search sidebar to quickly look thru search results. Also, I would like to be able to double click on text (Mac version) to select text that I can paste in the search query.

  6. Right now, Automatic Backups requires connecting to a Cloud Storage provider, of which only 3 are supported, and iCloud is not even one of them. However, "Backup Now" supports saving backups to an Files.app location, which supports any cloud service that is integrated with Files.app.

    What I would like to see is Automatic Backup have support for closing a location in Files.app (either local on device, or cloud service provider).

  7. Scenario:
    A user is working within a notebook in the "workspace" (the UI where all of the currently open notebooks' tabs are displayed and a user performs there GoodNote'ing). The user is curious if they have a notebook somewhere titled "Foo" and wants to see where "Foo" lives, but they do not want to open "Foo."

    Current behavior:
    When user navigates to the library, they cannot return to their open notebooks until they select a notebook. In this scenario, the user would be forced to open "Foo" only to immediately close it.

    Ideal behavior:
    User has an intuitive way to…

  9. Allow images to be moved behind text layers, even if the image has been inserted after the text.

    Currently, if one selects drawings with the lasso and moves them over an image, they dissappear behind it.

  12. Please add full screen presentation mode.
    Not only during these times of remote meetings, having the possibility to use Goodnotes on the iPad directly is greatly needed.

  15. I use different brush, color and size in different documents. When opening a document, I spend time resetting my style.

    Also (or alternatively) allow saving presets (combo box with up to 3 or 10 presets).

  17. When pinching the page to zoom out, lasso selection is removed.
    I want to be able to zoom out in lasso mode while keeping the selection. This is actually possible if I first select resize. Then I can zoom out and keep the selection. Pls allow the same in lasso.

  18. The average engineering student spends most of their time either taking notes or exercising and practicing off a sheet much like the one visible in the screenshots.
    The current situation provides no comfortable way of displaying the assignments without the use of a secondary device or constantly "tabbing" back and forth between assignments and notes to copy them.

    As of iPad OS 13.4.1, Apple has still not implemented horizontal split-screen with many users suggesting that it may never happen.

    A splitscreen feature within GoodNotes would provide an elegant and intuitive solution in any situation where both viewing a document and…

  20. If the undo operation take place in another page, I won’t be able to see it nor know what was done. Jumping to that page where undo take place will allow me to understand more about the nature of the undo.

    Moreover, jumping, wait 500ms and then perform the undo will allow me to visually see it as well.

    Redo will jump back to the page I were at.
