  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. It will be perfect to be able to change the laser color in the presentation mode as sometimes it is not possible to point red objects with red laser pointer

  4. Imagine you are taking different classes and have multiple tabs open for each class. It would be better if we are able to navigate to the tabs for a specific subject.

  5. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  11. 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.)

  12. 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.)

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  17. When we create a new notebook we should be able to choose the number of pages we want added for the paper template we selected. For example, I want fifty pages of the blank paper template automatically added to my new notebook.
    That way we don’t have to manually add page after page or keep pulling on the current page and release to add another page.
    This feature would be the equivalent of buying a physical notebook from the store with a set number of pages.

  18. There should be shortcuts for
    - document search
    - search all files
    - delete page
    - mark/unmark page
    - close current file
    - switch between edit and view mode
    - cmd + z / cmd + shift + z for undo and redo

    I think there can not be to many shortcuts, as they are invisible to everyone not using them. Add your ideas...

  19. I am using GoodNotes and drawing a table with multiple rows and columns to practice for a test. The last row’s change with each exercise. I use a unique pen color for those. It would be great if I could erase by pen color so I can erase the values with a quick swipe and not have to fix the cell borders each time or be more precise with each cell. Thanks!

  20. Create an email to notebook function to allow users to add documents directly to notebooks via email.

    Ex. Emailing bob@gn.com allows user to send to their GoodNotes files. Adding the name of a specific folder or notebook adds the document or body content to that notebook. Flag new items when a user next opens the app.
