  1. File & folder hierarchy for improved notebook/folder management with better ui

    Even though we have some category options, they are limited and the ui is not the best. Implementation of a folder hierarchy structure with a better ui (may be with tags/labels) will make managing notebooks much more easier. Lack of hierarchy on folder management is the biggest problem&missing feature of all note taking apps which are currently available and this difference will surely make GoodNotes the preferred one over other competitors.

  2. Add 2 and 3 finger tap shortcuts for undo and redo like Procreate

    Using the Apple pencil is really cool, but I find that undoing and redoing is really annoying using the toolbar at the top. Having a feature like in Procreate to undo with a 2 finder tap and redo with a 3 finger tap would make taking notes much more fluid.

  3. Toolbar customization

    There are some tools I dont use and interrupt my experience while using the app. It would be nice to be able to remove those tools, or even rearrange them!

  4. Fix iCloud Sync

    Fixing slow or never ending iCloud Upload. Just a few notes from me get synced to other devices. The most notes are never synced and just get tagged with the Upload arrow.

    Hi everyone,

    We’re happy to announce that we have finally found a fix for the issues with iCloud. Apple’s engineers confirmed that there was a bug with the GoodNotes folder in their own system.

    After updating to version 4.11.11, which is available as an update on the App Store, you should be able to quickly sync all your changes and notebooks across all of your devices again.

    We want to take the chance to say sorry again to everyone that was affected by the problems. Thank you so much for staying with us during these hard times!
    In case you should experience any trouble with iCloud after updating to the latest version, please contact our support.

  5. Add text recognition

    Why would an app as fine as Good Notes not have text recognition? I don't like my handwriting and would rather convert selected handwriting to text. I'm very disappointed that this feature isn't available.

  7. Add a page counter

    A page counter would be fine. As of now the only way to know where exactly you are on a document is to open the thumbnail feature. If the page number were displayed (maybe as an in/out option) it would save us a good deal of time.

    The latest update GoodNotes 5.5 is now available on the App Store. While scrolling through your document, you can now see the current page number and the total number of pages in this document. If you don’t like to see the page numbers, you can disable it in Menu > Settings > Document Editing.

  8. Desktop App

    We need a desktop version. It makes it so much harder to do work when you can't flip back and forth. PLEASE!!!

  9. [Toolbar] Support Customization

    Bring back the option to customise the toolbar. I see a recent update has partially returned this feature (allowing to customise the main toolbar options), but this needs to carry over to each toolbar options (pen, pencil, highlighter, etc). Allow reorganising the squeeze pop up menu. This is meant to help streamline productivity, but now having my most used tools all over the place, I’m wasting time scrolling to find them.

  13. Adjust the speed of the audio recording

    I am incredibly happy that you have added the voice recording feature. I would be very pleased If you add another feature where we can adjust the speed of the audio recording. (such as 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x or 0.5x)

  14. GoodNotes 5: Dropbox and GoogleDrive auto pdf backup

    Please reintroduce the GoodNotes 4 ability to upload the pdf version of the file in google drive and dropbox in the new 5 version. It is very useful for sharing notes with other people and to open it on the pc. In particular now without an app for the mac for GoodNotes 5.

  15. Continuous scroll for algebra and or math works

    I wish it could be possible to switch between the classic page turning and a continuous scrolling. When working on math projects, it would be very convenient to have a continuous scroll so that I can always see my last result or steps without having to continuously switch pages. Ideally I'd love to be able to mix continuous rolls with classic page by page notebook.

  16. Ability to use additional fonts

    Hello,

    I purchased the full version of this great application and have been using it for some time. The one thing that I would absolutely love to see changed... I mean I feel if the functionality allowed this it would turn this from being a great application to an amazing must have application is the ability to use additional fonts. Why do you restrict the font selection to just a few??? Why not allow us to use any font that we have installed (.ttf) File) in our iPhone or iPad??? I would be elated if you would consider adding this…

    GoodNotes 5 supports all system fonts. This means you can install new fonts on iOS using an app like “AnyFont”, which will be accessible through GoodNotes 5’s text tool. Please note that installing custom fonts on your iOS device can be a security risk as it is usually happening by installing custom profiles, which we do not recommend.

  17. Add subfolders in subfolders, infinitely

    In good notes 4 we can only have subfolders in a masterfolder, i would like to be able to create as many subfolders inside subfolders as i wish

  18. Full Drag and Drop Support in iOS 11

    For iOS 11, it would be great if photos, text and pdfs could be dropped into a workbook. You could also add drag and drop support for moving individual pages between different notebooks and moving notebooks to different folders.
