  1. While I enjoy the rotate and resize tool, I feel that inverting images should be implemented! It's useful for drawing (take chemical figures) or plain symmetry for digital note-taking.

  4. At the moment the sorting option by date or by name is the same for folders and the complete documents. There should be a way where on the main documents page you can sort by date and sort by name in a subfolder.

  5. Hello, when can I have a setting for quick page turning and page jumping? It is troublesome to slide my fingers when reading a book with many pages. Similar to this design

  6. When writing out long texts it would be great that when the page is full, the text continues on the next page with the same format, like in Microsoft word.

  7. I'd love to see an option to add more than 3 pen colors as "quick-access". I often use up to six colors and it is quite displeasing that I have to switch them around so much. I added a screenshot to clarify what I mean by "quick-access".

  8. hello, you can add: 1) Ruler (for mathematics and graphs). 2) Dictaphone according to the text. 3) Eyedropper and transparency brush. 4) Written by hand in printed text. 5) Drawing tools. 6) Not only straightening lines, but also wavy lines, zigzags. 7) The ability to turn the sheet with your fingers (upside down, sideways, etc.).

  9. When in the Miniature view and on Favorites, let users swipe right and left for next and previous Favorites, this small feature would make finding important stuff way easier.

  10. Being able to save more than one text style is necessary for Titles and Headers while taking notes. One more reason I have had to switch to notability. They allow three saved text favorites with font, color, and size.

  11. I sometimes struggle to write in a straight line, it would be super cool if there'd be a feature, where you could insert some kind of ruler/support line, just a faint one, one that doesnt stay on the document, one that doesnt influence thats already written, that helps as a reference to write straight. thanks very much, apart from that, its a super super great app, i dont know how id do uni without you :D

  12. I would love to be able to expand the area of the canvas so that I have more flexibility with writing on the pages without straining my hands. I find when I am filling a page that my hand starts to fall off my iPad and my handwriting/sketches start to become unstable because of the awkward writing angle. Having that extra bit of canvas space to move the current page I’m working on to a more comfortable position would work WONDERS.

    Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

  13. Selecting hyperlinks require that you turn the pen-tool off, press on the hyperlink, then turn the pen-tool back on. Instead:

    Allow a long-press on a hyperlink to activate it.

    Alternatively, a double-touch on a hyperlink to activate it.

    I can't tell you how many times I've pressed on a hyperlink and end up writing a dot. I have several people I have recruited to be GoodNotes users and this is a frequent problem when they begin using the program ("Hey, why don't hyperlinks work?")

  15. When you want to move pages within the same document you have to click on it and scroll through the thumbnail until you get it to where you would like to move it. I think there should be an option to type in the page number you would like to move it to, and then the page that is already located on that page number automatically moves below the newly moved page.

  17. GoodNotes documents can get quite large over time. Synchronizing (and backing up) them on constantly uses ridicules amounts of data (sometimes up to 1GB in a single day).
    Using GoodNotes in school, this poses a big problem, as we currently don't have working WiFi. Connecting my iPad to my iPhone's Personal Hotspot is always a story of force closing GoodNotes, connecting to the Hotspot, doing whatever, disconnecting and relaunching GoodNotes as I have a limited amount of high speed cellular data.

    To solve this, GoodNotes could support iOS native Low Data Mode, which users can set system wide on a…

  18. Can there be a calligraphy pen option, a gel pen option that has the glitter color pallet, and a roller ballpoint pen. Also when you lasso text it shows what color the text was in and if you reside text you can spread it out horizontally or longitudinally and not both ways. Also when you try to use certain highlighter colors together the darker color will be on top even if you’re trying to have it as the shadow

  19. It would be very helpful if you add hyperlink and adding shortcuts for the same folder or notes to easily navigate in the app
    and to make many shortcuts of the same notes and put them to different folders

  20. Since some PDFs do not come with their "table of contents" already made, it would be incredibly helpful to be able to create an outline that has sub-sections that can be collapsed. Such as a long textbook with multiple sections each having multiple chapters - would love to be able to easily see the section titles and then expand each as needed to see each chapter within. The textbooks that come with this already made are so nice and it would be nice to be able to do this not only with PDFs but also with my hand written notebooks.
