  1. I’d love to have a lab notebook mode where every page is automatically stamped with a date and time, and a locking button so that page can’t be written on after being locked, or can refer to that page by copying it, so as to meet lab notebook standards.

  2. Email to GoodNotes is a pretty handy automation feature, but it is quite annoying to get all the files in the "Home" directory. It would be really nice if it was possible to add the option to use a relative path to the home directory like '/university/cs1' as subject of the mail.

    That way I could automatically import my scripts into GoodNotes and they would be there whenever I wanted to use them. Currently I have to search for the required script in the set of scripts forever, which costs me more time than downloading the scripts as soon as…

  3. I create my notes off professors’ notes, and thus I need an option to go to a subsequent number when I hit enter. I still use Microsoft Word for this because GOODNOTES 5 doesn't offer this possibility. Also, it would be great if you could integrate GRAMMARLY to GOODNOTES 5.

  6. It would be great to have a menu bar where you can see all the tabs of the different documents even if you go back to the main document menu.
    Now if you want to go back to your open document you actually have to open another document from the main menu to get back to the view of the different tabs.
    Please keep the tabs on display whereever you are in goodnotes. Would be super helpful

  7. I am an engineer.
    I use GoodNotes all the time to produce flow diagrams at a professional level, good enough for tender documents.
    It has become a much more useful tool than AutoCAD for this purpose.
    I also use it to produce preliminary MEP drawings.
    Basic measurement tool with a simple calibration Tool could help a lot.

    Thanks.
    David.

  8. I think split view is a useful tool to take advantage of but still not as efficient/user friendly as I’d like it to be.

    Example: I want to read a pdf document and take notes of that content as I’m reading through the document. While split view can facilitate this situation, it takes too much screen space with all the tools. It’s also two separate documents that aren’t really linked/associated with each other.

    Solution A: add a sticky note tool option to the toolbar so that we can have a floating sticky note on whatever page we’re on. This has…

  9. Hi, I would prefer it if we were able to use different pens for pens and shapes. I personally like to write in a fountain pen font and draw shapes with a ballpoint pen, however, changing the pen style for shapes also changes it for the pen itself. Would appreciate having these two operate independently.

  10. It's not currently possible to go back to the document view without opening a document from the library. Maybe, we can hace a button for it.

  11. Currently, when selecting text in a PDF, you have the option to "strikeout" or "highlight" the selected text. As far as I can tell, when selecting one of these options, the only available color for highlighting is yellow and the only available color for strikeout is red. Please add a feature to allow users to choose the highlight color and the strikeout color for selected text.

  12. Sorry, if I missed an existing feature request or if this feature is already available.
    I love GoodNotes for digitally signing documents; for this, it would be great to have a feature like "Mark as final" for protecting documents or notes from further modifications.

  13. I would like to be able to set the default option when importing to GoodNotes to be “Import as New Document” rather than “Import to Current Document” to help prevent, for example, accidentally inserting large documents to the middle of other large documents.

  16. Having to crop, then click screenshot, then click export, and then click copy just to copy images of a pdf or other items is time consuming.

    A more direct to the point action of being able to copy once in the crop box would be better instead of 4 actions to do one thing

  17. Simple: instead of just having the lasso that you have to painstakingly use to circle handwriting, convert each page to text, and then export to another program to edit, why not...
    ...have a button that instantly converts the entire handwritten document into text, ready to edit/export?

  18. I am a Maths teacher from Vietnam. I love technology. About 2 years ago, I came across your Goodnotes application, which was the number one paid application in AppStore and I felt lucky that I bought it. I got excited and engrossed in your app at the very first time I used it. I work with Mathematics problems very frequently. When using Goodnotes, the problems become much easier and more intriguing. I learned a lot from these and thanks to it, my students got many prizes in local competitions. I wrote a “long essay” to you in the reviews section…

  19. the latest version of goodnotes seem to have made a little bit of change on the handwriting improvement algorithm to make the end of the writing thicker, which makes it less comfortable. Also, there is more delay of the writing. Please resume the previous algorithm.

  20. I use good notes for teaching. But when I’m explaining with both of my hands, my students don’t get to see which screen area to focus on. Laser pointer is amazing feature but it needs activity from instructor.

    We can use mouse cursor as an ‘idle-state’ highlighter in presentation mode. Should be easy to implement. And if we can control the colour, size and opacity of the cursor in presentation mode, it would be awesome.
