  3. I work in engineering and am always using an engineer's scale or architects scale. I use goodnotes primarily to keep all of my project plans organized in one location. I would be helpful to have a scale tool that would allow me to measure the plans according to the scale provided on the plans.

  4. Have the option to add page numbers to the notebook pages. I sometimes need to reference a page of my notebook along with a task form another page or notebook, right now I don't see a way to have page numbers happen automatically when adding or deleting pages from the notebook. Having a link system (so my task says "see notes on page 4" and when I insert a new second page - the note is now on page 5, the text would change "see notes on page 5".)

  5. If you reach the end of the paper it is uncomfortable to write. Instead of creating a new page by switching to the next side, you can offer the possibility for continuous scrolling downwards.

  6. I attend a few conferences and constantly use Goodnotes, and get asked about it. I would love to be able to add the camera to the task bar. I miss some slides/information because of the time it takes to open the camera. Video would also be good to add. And voice recording. Then it would also be perfect for marking my students work and giving verbal feedback.

  7. I would like to be able to draw a series of precise, connected, straight lines segments by tapping a start point then having each subsequent tap define the end point of the next segment.

    It would also be nice to have an option to make the end points snap to a grid.

  8. Most textbooks today are available electronically, but the MAJOR shortfall is the inability to easily annotate or take notes on them, specifically handwritten ones. Most readers are using not desktops/laptops, but tablets and phones with touch displays. Research shows better learning retention with handwritten over typed notes. If Goodnotes could truly allow this handwritten annotation function somehow, especially in Kindle app which we ALL have and use. Either a way to drag a Kindle book into the Goodnotes app, or an app extension for Kindle. Besides, what a better company to partner with like Amazon. Both companies would win as…

  14. Customize your use of finger touch and use of pen.

    I'm using Apple pencil and I want to use my finger as a eraser.
    So that I don't have to change my pen to eraser mode and go back to pen mode....
    It will be great if I can customize them by myself !

  15. Other sync options (Dropbox, Google, Box, etc..) I have iCloud blocked by a policy installed so I can access my job email in the iPhone. This has completely restricted the sync option for me .. seems like a very good idea to give alternate syncing options for probably even more reasons than just this one that happened to me.

  16. Currently, pages must be dragged one by one to another location in a notebook (in the Edit mode). This is quite tedious when multiple pages have to be moved elsewhere in a long notebook : you end up dragging one page from the top to the bottom of the notebook, and then repeat for every page, instead of dragging all the pages at once.

  17. I really like the ability to lock a page position and zoom when using Goodnotes as an electronic whiteboard for lecturing. However, a rather annoying trait is that the screen lock turns off every time the page advances.

    It would be nice to have an option to "lock all pages".

  19. Es wäre klasse, eine Erinnerungsfunktion zu integrieren. Erinnerungen könnten zu einer Notiz auf dem Papier mit einem Symbol hinzugefügt werden. Als aktive Checkbox wäre ideal. Der betreffende Text könnte mit dem Lasso-Werkzeug markiert und später als Erinnerung angezeigt werden. Die Erinnerungen könnten in einer Übersicht, sortiert nach Notizbüchern, angezeigt werden. Diese Funktion wäre ungemein nützlich!

  20. The pdf outline tab is a great feature and it is already incorporated.
    It would be fabulous to use this collapsable outline to structure and easily navigate lengthier notebooks. For instance for study notes this would be more than helpful.
    On the other i could often use these little red flags as bookmark signs like other apps have (bamboo paper, notability and most ebook readers). This is faster because you dont need to specify a bookmark text, you can unmark easily and you have a visual clue in the thumnail preview.
    The bookmarks tab could then be used to show…
