  3. Would it be possible to do so that with the horizontal scrolling mode we can see 2-3 pages at a time. With the vertical mode when you get to the end of the page the start of the next one can be senn this way you can keep a continuity. On the horizontal scrolling mode, it would be great to have the next page directly on the right and last page on the left to keep a good overview at all time and make it look even more like a book this way.

  4. It seams that whenever I use pencil in sidecar (or with Luna display) Goodnotes disable use od mouse: I can select tools, but pencil, laso, eraser do not work with mouse. I need to restart the app to get them back under control. (I use the latest version of iOS, macOS.)

  5. Changing the colour or a photo, in particular to black and white, so that you can highlight features better. Would be an incredible feature for anyone studying anatomy, and wanting to highlight a specific nerve/ muscle...

  8. If you want to draw a small circle the shape tool doesn‘t draw a perfekt circle, because it always has some notches. Pls fix this problem with the shape tool

  10. A toggle that auto-deselects the shape tool after one use, just like the eraser.

    A further enhancement would be turning the whole tool into a toggle, which detects and corrects any shapes if it is turned on. This should ideally work with the highlighter alongside the pen. I understand there might be complications on this improvement, so I put the auto-deselect function in the title, as this toggle will suffice to solve the frustration where a circle would appear unexpectedly while writing a sentence.

  13. Can you create an app also for Windows? It would so much easier if I could not only see but also edit my notes on my laptop. Really hope you will create an app in the near future.

  14. You have an excellent app!

    Please can you improve it by allowing more than one image to be selected and imported into GoodNotes from the users camera roll at a time.

    Sometimes I need to import 10 or more screenshot images from my camera roll and currently I have to do this one at a time which is very cumbersome.

    Please can we have multiple image import from camera roll, or if it already exists let me know how I can do this?

    Thanks,
    David

  16. When uploading a powerpoint or PDF slides to goodnotes, it would be really nice if there was the option to make them slide notes. For example: there would be 3 slides per page on the left side then on the right side there would be empty lines to take notes on. Microsoft Powerpoint offers this as an option when printing slides. I believe this would be a great addition for students since most instructors teach off of slides, this way students can add notes without cluttering the slide or having to rewrite everything.

  18. Right now, we can scroll through the pages (vertical scrolling) only using our fingers. It would be awesome if we could scroll through the pages vertically by using the apple pencil on the non-page areas (the grey areas on the side of the page). Thanks!

  20. It frequently takes up 97% of CPU power on a 2017 Macbook Pro 13-inch, and the fan on my mac just shouts like crazy (like fighter jets taking off from a carrier).
