  1. I request that the option of deleting pages should be available to the user while he is in SCROLL View Mode. Currently we need to go back to thumbnail view and then delete the pages .

  2. So there is an overview feature in safari that allows you to view all open tabs in the app as windows in rows and columns. I find that I have a lot of notes open at once.

    If we could have a similar feature, like a button that gives us an overview of all the notes open, as well as seeing their first page. This would make navigation between open notes much faster and more productive

  3. Use the first handwritten line of a note as the default title.

  4. Hello everybody,

    I'm new to GoodNotes, great job. Many thanks for this app!

    Following is a feature request:

    What bothers me is the limitation that you can only create pages in one direction. I have attached a PDF to you. Let's assume I have a notebook with vertical orientation (blue path). But now I would like to be able to add pages on the horizontal axes (green path). The export/print view is secondary for me. The optimal solution would be to branch vertically from the secondary pages again, etc., so that you can build paths if needed.

    I am aware…

  5. Allow the Apple Pencil configurations to include double tapping to switch between the active menu bar and the hidden menu bar. This would quickly allow me to switch between modes when working in a document that has hyperlinks, which require the menu bar to be hidden.

  6. Have the ability to lock the app to always force a certain orientation. iPad OS is much more productive in landscape mode, so locking the goodnotes app would allow the use of goodnotes portrait mode without having to constantly toggle the apple orientation lock whenever I open and close the app.

  7. I love the new GoodNotes 5, but I miss the zoom window from GoodNotes 4. I liked how the zoom window had an undo button and the three color change boxes right there. When writing in the zoom window now, it’s a bit tedious to have to reach all the way to the top of the screen to undo or change color.

  10. Erasing has to be sharper. Even if zoomed in, the eraser deletes a huge amount of pixel in go.

  14. I need to be able to select text on my mac desktop goodnotes application.

    My workflow:

    I'm writing many papers for school, and do all my research on my mac, downloading pdfs. I then upload all the research articles on my goodnotes 5 for mac application, after which i use the ipad goodnotes 5 application to read, annotate and highlight the papers.

    Examples of copying text from the mac application:
    * When i'm writing my paper, I sometimes have to manually enter the reference into Word. I have to do this by hand and can't copy and paste.
    * When…

  15. The current drag & drop feature copies notes as a PDF file. (http://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/19716046-export-individual-pages-using-drag-and-drop-mac-a)
    However, It's sometimes desirable (and easier to view) if I copy them as images (to email app, iMessage, other note-taking app like Bear, etc.). I wish there is an option to select images over PDF.

  16. It would be great if Goodnotes either took advantage of the Files app and stored its files in this location ... or ... had an option which allowed the user to set the location (eg Files, OneDrive, iCloud, etc).

    This is particularly important for reinstalling the app as all files are lost.

  18. 现在在竖向滑动的状态下,双指缩放只能看到几个页面竖着排列缩小的缩略图,希望可以使缩略图填充页面,比如缩略浏览可以填充周围的空处,同时看到四个或六个页面的内容,并可以进行编辑书写。

  19. Hello, it would be interesting to be able to open GoodNotes in reading mode rather than in editing mode. I noticed that often, when I want to consult a note, I make a lot of barbel on the first page because I try to scroll through the pages. Maybe just put this option in the settings for those who are not interested. Thank you

  20. Show two pages at a time by native method

    We need two pages functionality by native method (not by multi split view).
    Every user wants it for very long time.
    We were very tired of waiting.

    When will you update?
    We want to know clearly about this update schedule.
