  1. Better image placement and resizing options.

    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. Other sync options (Dropbox, Google, Box, etc..)

    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.

  6. add Hebrew support

    add Hebrew support for the "speak" feature.
    the text ( box ) tool doesn't work well with Hebrew as well.
    the text is lagging, switching to the wrong side duplicating and much more. ( the duplicating is completely random and its happening very often, its the most annoying bug ).
    a lot of Hebrew users use goodnotes yet don't participate in the forum community.

  11. Convert handwritten notes as you write in real time.

    Much like the writing magnifier, except it will convert your written words in that window in real time onto the page as typeface text.

  12. single finger erase

    Hi!

    Goodnotes is amazing, it transformed my ipad experience. The one gripe I have is that it is really cumbersome to switch between pen and eraser. I suggest that when the stylus is used, and "single finger drag" is turned off, I should be able to turn on "single finger erase". So write with stylus, erase with finger, drag with two fingers.

    Hope this is a small and easy feature... I'd definitely pay for it!

  13. Please allow the ability to Embed videos and youtube videos as well as PowerPoint/word/excel documents

    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.

  15. While using pencil finger acts as eraser

    Since the iPad Pro differentiates between pencil and finger interaction why not while using the pencil allow the finger to erase. This would be very efficient for the users.

  19. Please add Ukrainian handwriting recognition and search :)

    Many of my friends and I use Goodnotes for handwriting in Ukrainian, but we are unable to convert our handwriting to text (only Russian is supported for the Cyrillic alphabet).

    For many Ukrainians, it would be amazing to write in our language and be able to convert it to text. This is especially true during the oppression in current times, when we are working hard to move away from the russian language as a way to preserve our language and our culture in the face of.

    I would be willing to help, maybe to show different handwriting styles, the alphabet,…

  20. internal links

    Better organisation options through internal links!! When you have a lot of notes you don't want to be searching through hundreds of pages for the specific topic your looking for! I would love to be able to create an index where I click on the topic and it will take me there, like google docs does (one of my favourite features). Maybe different personalisation options side tabs like a binder and you can click them to go to the specified area (as a seperate option not instead of basic internal links). I have found people asking for this as far…
