  5. Good notes doesn't provide the option to put a time/date reminder to each document so you can then follow up. Or, to include specific actions/reminders. Integrate a calendar.

  6. I read and annotate a lot of PDFs. Some of these PDFs although very compressed and have relatively small size (~30MB). Have lots of pages (200 plus). When I attempt to export back to PDFs, for review on my computer, the file becomes too big (>200MB) to transfer to my computer.

    Please incorporate a PDF like editing engine ( e.g.Adobe, Goodreader, etc) to control the size of exported PDFs with large number of pages)

  7. When you Take a picture with the Camera (I use it in the classroom as document-Camera) most pictures are too dark or suffer from insufficient brightness.

    A quick and simple brightness and contrast adjustment will help a lot.

  8. I love being able to draw lines, circles, ovals and squares. But I use the app all the time to draw out some graphs and ideas that require more geometry.

    We could enhance the Geometry button with these great ideas:
    ・Let us draw curved lines!!!
    ・When it's turned on, and you draw a square or circle, you can afterwards enlarge it like you would be able to do with an image.
    ・After we've drawn a curved line allow us to stretch the angle, change the curve here and there!

  9. I'd like to write smaller sized letters in the zoom box, it's more efficient and quicker, especially with a stylus. But if I do, the letters show up too small on the actual notebook page.

  11. I would like to be able to manipulate a PDF in the same way you would a picture. I find that sometimes I want half of a page in my notes but don't want to insert a screen shot as it doesn't look nearly as nice.

  16. Like a multi color pen with 4 slots. Add a 4th slot to the color options, so we can have the standard black and 3 other colors, or any 4 colors we want.

  17. I like the new iOS 7 theme in GoodNotes 4, but it has WAY too much glaring white space in the "bookshelf" view and in the menu bars. This is fine during the day for most people, but during night or in a dark room it can cause eye strain which inhibits productivity. For people like me with sensitive eyes, it'd be wonderful to have a "dark/night" theme that could be toggled on or off or even automatically activated based on ambient light. The music app "Ecoute" has a perfect example of this functionality. For me, this is the missing…

  18. It would be nice if I could reuse certain drawings/shapes that I've previously drawn, for example saving a certain graph setup (e.g. having axis labelled with distance vs. time) and then be able to choose from my saved shape menu and input it into the document I am working on now.
