  1. Zoom any page on DINA4 scale

    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.

  4. Select a default folder to export pdf.

    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.

  5. Sticky/Post-It - Lazo selection based on color

    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

  6. Highlight under pen

    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.

  8. Tab Sets

    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.

  9. Sign-in iCloud from Goodnotes app to sync personal and work devices.

    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.

  10. Integration with the Apple file system (the Files app)

    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.

  11. Left-handed Full Hebrew support - Zoom window

    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.

  13. Palettes of colour to choose from (like in Procreate)

    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…

  14. Shapes and connected arrows

    The shape tool is nice but needs some tweeking/bug fixes

    • shapes should a "first class citizen". Once drawn (or inserted) it should be able to resize, change colour and border thickness. Currently a drawn shape can be scaled and moved but never changed in any other way.
    • sometimes I just want a box but ends up drawing something that isn't 90 degrees in all four corners. I have to undo and redraw and it just kills momentum
    • when I erase hand written text inside a shape and then erase it, I also always erase the background fill.
    • connected arrows. I'd…

  15. Undo bug on MacOs Catalina

    Hello, there is a bug in version for the MacOs: 10.15.4.

    I am not able to undo anything, unless I add a textbook in the notes. That is, if I start to draw, then neither command + Z, not undo option in "Edit" do anything. If I put a text block on a page, then undo becomes available.

  16. Preserve outline in PDF during automatic backup

    If you export a single document as PDF and set the setting to "Editable", the outline is preserved. The PDF's which are created by the automatic backup (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive) do not contain the outline, because they are saved as "Flattened". Please add an option to automatically save the documents as "Editable-PDF" in the cloud.
    Alternatively, an option for a one-time backup of the whole library in GoodNotes to "Editable-PDF" would be a great option. At the moment the option "Backup Data" can only be used to create a backup in the Good-Notes file system.

  18. Note revision

    I used your app for note-taking during class and creating final notes which I can review during exams. I think it would be a good idea to add a function where you have an "invincible" layer over your notes such that you can write down stuff without ruining the notes you made. It will be like a post it except that it is see through. It will work like photoshop where you can have different layers which you can show or hide.
