  1. Hello GoodNotes I was disappointed to find that I could not add a video into your app as a document itself. It would be really useful for me to include some helpful YouTube videos with my university notes. If you could add this feature that would be great. If I could take screen records and record my professor speaking as I take notes that would be fantastic.

  2. It would be nice if there were a way to index all highlights and make the highlights available where one finds Thumbnails / Favorites / Outlines a way to go quickly review and find.

    It would be amazing if one could highlight in different colors and group those in the highlight index. Example: Yellow for remembering phrases, blue for additional research/follow-up, etc.

  4. I found GoodNotes to be very versatile even for doing wireframes for mobile design. Although with the ever changing sizes, it would be great if we can customize the size.
    GoodNotes is also the most smooth note writing app I’ve used. It would be great to have an option for unlimited canvas so I can use it for larger brain storming sessions.

  5. Page marker at the bottom (like Adobe Reader) to show you the page number in the PDF, the approximate location out of 100% and something you can grab to move through pages quickly. I often need to move through a PDF with 100's of pages, and since I don't know page I am on or what page I need to get to... using a menu to type in a guessed page number is very cumbersome

  6. Having the ability to flatten would create a document that I could continue to write over but then do an "erase all" but not erase the flattened part.

    I am a math teacher and sometime I write down a problem that I would like to keep to show to the next class or use next year. I would like the ability to keep the problem without exporting and re-importing it into GoodNotes as a pdf.

  8. I sometimes create PDFs that I then fill in with Goodnotes. Having support for importing PDFs with multiple pages as templates would be very useful.

  11. okay but. When will Goodnotes 5 be for android? there are people who can't afford to buy an Ipad, but want to have the application for their notes.
    I think your earnings would go up if the app is accepted for android devices. and more this year 2022
    Hopefully, one day they will ask if they can put their application on the playstore. and I am part of those who are eagerly waiting for it to be in the playstore since I don't have enough for an ipad and I really need to make notes in this app
    Without further…

  13. My iPad is large and there is a lot of unused space next to the color dots on the toolbar. I think there could be space for extra colors.

  15. Have you ever considered adding a dropper option to choose colours? I think it would make it easier to select the exact shade you want.
    Thank youuuu.

  16. When I write on pages without margins, the left edge of my page is flush with the left edge of my iPad screen (or locked in the centre). This makes it uncomfortable to write from the very edge of the screen for left handed users. Could you possibly make it so the user has more control over how far left/right the page sits to allow for hand resting room?

  17. Hi, the shapes figure option has a lot of difficulty recognizing hexagones and octogones, and double lines. It would be really nice to be able to draw those shapes for organic chemistry! Thank you so much!

  18. The average engineering student spends most of their time either taking notes or exercising and practicing off a sheet much like the one visible in the screenshots.
    The current situation provides no comfortable way of displaying the assignments without the use of a secondary device or constantly "tabbing" back and forth between assignments and notes to copy them.

    As of iPad OS 13.4.1, Apple has still not implemented horizontal split-screen with many users suggesting that it may never happen.

    A splitscreen feature within GoodNotes would provide an elegant and intuitive solution in any situation where both viewing a document and…

  19. I’m in favor of ridding the laser pointer icon and placing an Audio recording button instead. Along with only having the master button pop up during presentation mode .

    Could maybe even allow some to choose what icons show preferably over others

  20. Have the ability to lock the app to always force a certain orientation. iPad OS is much more productive in landscape mode, so locking the goodnotes app would allow the use of goodnotes portrait mode without having to constantly toggle the apple orientation lock whenever I open and close the app.
