  1. Integration into e-textbook apps like Kindle to allow notetaking

    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…

  3. Greek language handwriting recognition support

    Please add the Greek language handwriting recognition. I use goodnotes 5 for taking notes and i have to say that your application is one of the top. The only issue for me is that there is no support for Greek language.

  6. ARCHIVE notebooks and/or folders

    Hello! As I use GoodNotes more and more to take notes and adnotate documents, I get a large volume of folders and notebooks that are a bit difficult to navigate through.

    It would be great to be able to archive old items, so that they do not show up in the document browser and they are compressed or even stored in the cloud only, so that they do not take up additional space.

  8. Nextcloud

    We use Nextcloud in our company.

    I work on 15 - 20 Projekts and they are all available via nextcloud in common folder structure.

    I open the working plans on the construction site now in good-notes and do my comments and notes.

    What I need is not only a full goodnotes Backup. I want, that the file is stored back to my original folder, so I could save the double structure.

    This would be a great invention!

  9. Multiple Default Text Options

    Especially with the new GoodNotes 5 for Mac, it would be useful to have 3 different "default" text font/style/size options, similar to how you have three different options for highlight color, thickness, etc.

  10. Hide the navigation bar

    The biggest problem I have with the current version is that the navigation bar can not be hided. For older ipads, especially for 9 inch display ones, every bit of screen space counts, and the nav bar really takes too much space. So it would be really nice to allow users hide the nav bar while keep pen tool bar on display, just like hiding the nav bar when the pen tool bar is not open.

  14. Add the ability to insert a PDF the same way you would a picture. (Resizing, cropping, moving around on page)

    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.

  15. lock object option, grouping colors, and color picker.

    We should be able to make color palettes for our pen colors to make the colors easier to find. Also, we need an option to lock objects like images and handwriting . As well as, a color picker, It is the biggest hassle to try and find a perfect match to a color. :) thank you!

  16. Use of Mardown to format texts

    It would be really nice to be able to use/write/paste text that uses the Markdown format as it becomes the norm in most of the other apps. It would make it easier to import/copy text and have it rendered nicely.

  19. Make Goodnotes Flashcards good enough to Replace ANKI!

    Would really appreciate if the flashcard feature becomes much more versatile like anki.
    A few suggestions are
    1. Show number of Flashcard left for the day
    2. Integrate several files to form one Flashcard deck without hampering their current progress
    3. SETTING A NEW CARD LIMIT PER DAY
    4. Customising which cards I would like to see first.

    Basically a lot of anki inspired stuff that could help us replace anki cards with handwritten goodnotes cards. Thanks a lot!

  20. have Word Count.

    Word Count is important for writers because it lets them keep track of how much they wrote. Thus they can set-up goals and easily measure how much (or little) they have achieved.
    Software-wise, to me as someone with no experience in programming - the easiest way would be to take the code that converts the handwriting to text, and somehow instead of converting, it counts the words.
