  2. I read books in PDF. The editorial margins are usually decided for print publication. I would like the ability to increase the page size to have more space to take notes.

    Thanks.

  4. I text a lot and I also like to keep the color tone of my notes but the app doesn’t have the feature to add the color to presets for the text function. It also could be more convenient if there’s the color picker tool so I can keep the tone of my notes whenever I text or write. Lastly, I notice that the hex code of the color is ALWAYS #FFEEFF. As I said before, GoodNotes doesn’t have feature of setting text color to presets so I intent to remember the hex code instead but it’s still FFEEFF... I…

  6. Please add a countdown timer ⏲ widget in the app that can be displayed on the page. Even if this is not possible, maybe just implement preset 1min, 2min, 3min, 5min etc... Gifs that display a timer.

  7. I have a lot of files in Goodnotes. Sometimes I want to access them in two folders but don't want to have two separate files. Therefore, please add alias to the file system.

  10. Sarebbe utile oltre a poter creare un indice poter creare anche un sotto indice per ogni indice. In questo modo sarebbe possibile creare nel proprio quaderno una categoria con sotto categorie.

  13. Presentation mode through wifi (indicated URL in web browser).

    The presentation mode is available through Apple TV and an HDMI cable. It would be great to present the screen of Goodnotes wirelessly to an external screen, such as a digital whiteboard.

    The app "Airsketch PRO" has this feature by typing an indicated URL in the webbrowser of the external screen. Bringing this feature to Goodnotes makes presenting much more flexible. No need for an Apple TV and without a cable you can walk further away from the external screen.

  14. I frequently think of things I want to add to a long note later. The options at present are: 1) try to cram an extra bit of writing above previous notes (like using a physical notebook); or 2) select everything you want to move with the lasso tool and move it downwards (difficult with a long note, and a bit of a hassle too)

    If you could somehow pinch to add more space that would be quick and awesome, You could have as many extra thoughts as you like, and it wouldn't be a hassle to add them in.

  16. I create custom documents in Excel/Word and print them to PDF, then import to GN and I want to use all the screen area. Allow either editing the PDF in GN to reduce margins, or provide documentation on what "paper" sizes will optimize screen usage for each platforms (i.e., iPad mini, iPad Pro, iPhone, etc.)

  17. After a day of meetings, I find myself not remembering to go back to the "action items" (or forgetting the action items.) Would be so powerful if action items were automatically added to iOS reminders, or even if there was a quick manual way (i.e., circle the actions with lasso and have option to create/add to remdiners.)

  19. I have many notebooks (one for each customer). I want the ability to mark written text as an "Action Item" in any notebook (Use the "lariat" tool?) and they automatically get added to an "Action Items" notebook so they are all in one place.

  20. As a user, I’d like to be able to delete a page I’m on without having to back out to the thumbnails view.

    While “clear page” is useful, “delete page” would remove the annoyance of having to back out as I’m deciding page by page which to keep.

    An alternative would be allowing zoom in the thumbnails view so I can better see what’s on the page.
