  1. I use GoodNotes to create revision notes. The ability to add videos and/or embed online videos from sites such as you tube or Vimeo would be a great asset. Moreover, the ability to either link, or embed Microsoft documents such as PowerPoint/excel/word would also be very very useful. That way I could condense 25 thick binders full of info, into one place on my iPad.

  2. 1 even when images are created at exactly the same resolution (as the PDF it is placed in) you still have to resize the image on import. I would like to have the option to place the image at the original size, instead of having to size it up. #2 resizing is a pain in the butt if you are trying to get absolute perfection. With the new drag and drop feature, if you hold too long on a corner, the entire image want you to drag and drop it somewhere and you have to start the resize over again.

  4. If we could have two documents open at the same time within GoodNotes and then use drag and drop for moving, text, ink, etc...

    By split view I mean it needs to be like you get splitview on Safari on the iPad.

  6. There are lots of comments regarding different colour templates. It would be great if the background colour could simply be changed whilst continuing to use the same template format. Either that or include a spectrum of colours for each template design so changing the paper template doesn't affect the notes already taken.

  7. I’d like a paper template that uses the solid & dashed lines for handwriting practice. Many of us are new to writing on a tablet, and GoodNotes is sophisticated enough for practice to matter. I’m talking about paper lined like this:

    https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=handwriting+paper&safe=strict&client=firefox-b&dcr=0&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi7iJezksvWAhXqA8AKHSCDDYMQ_AUIESgB&biw=1366&bih=920#imgrc=m3s_HIkERhVqdM:

    Thank you.

  10. Show the GoodNotes Files in the new iOS Files App as a pdf-Version to share and edit them easily with Apps like PDF-Expert.
    A two-way sync would be also nice to edit files on any devices from the Cloud and have them automatically updated in GoodNotes

  13. Have the option to enable/disable guidelines (lines and/or gridlines), while I'm writing on a template, that way I can write on a "straight line" in a blank template for example.

  16. I want to import Outlook email messages into Goodnotes.

    Currently I use a computer to print the email as a pdf and send it to myself that I import directly into goodnotes.
    Is there a faster way? Can I do this on the iPad without needing a computer to print the email?

    Can you create an app

  19. Please provide the option to pinch out to the page library from within a specific page. Example: When on page 5 of a 30 page document, the user pinches inward to shrink the page to a thumbnail whereby the user can quickly scroll down to page 30 and select to directly open that page.
