  1. Hello, I really enjoy your site. I work at a community college with students with disabilities and I refer students often. I noticed when I ran your site through wave.webaim.org and there were a few areas that could be easily fixed. I am requesting that you use the site to improve the accessibility.

  2. I know this might sound weird, but if I find that something on the support site isn't working properly, what should I do to report the issue? There's nothing in the "Please select the main component that is causing problems" field that I see relevant.

    I recently filed a request on the support site and found that my request status was marked as 'solved'.

  4. Good Notes is perfect for me as a site manager to take plans to the construction site. What I miss very much is a tool to measure. I would like to measure it out of a plan.
    --> A measuring function!

  5. To use GoodNotes in a company environment and to process confidential data, encryption of all data transfers is a must-have.

    Use a standard strong crypto implementation to encrypt all data send via internet to BackUp or sync servers.

    For me it is OK to enter the (strong) password on each device every time or to store it locally on the device. But the data on the external servers should be fully encrypted.

    The system should be well documented and certified by external IT security experts.

  6. I would like to have the feature that the drop menu "add site" not only contains the last used standard sizes, but also a page suggestion depending on the previous page size. This would make it much easier to insert a suitable page of the same format in pdf documents or presentations to make notes without having to guess or try out the correct format of the document.

  7. Gostaria que adicionassem o modo de tela infinita para realização de mapas mentais feitos com Apple Pencil, isso ajudará muito nos estudos, pois nenhum aplicativo faz essa funcionalidade e quando fazer a exportação ou impressão se torna ruim, pelo fato de diminuírem a letra das anotações, a qual não consegue ler nada das anotações e com isso o estudo fica prejudicado. O good notes por ser um excelente aplicativo ao adicionar essa função ele tornará perfeito. Se puder incluir essa opção mais rápido possível, eu agradeceria muito, pelo fato de estar precisando dessa funcionalidade para os estudos.

  8. 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. Instead of going to the thumbnails menu, just do a zoom out to see two pages in the same view, instead of one; then if done again you can see 4 pages and then 6, then 8 and so on.

    Important detail is that, let's say you have the view for 8 pages in your screen, if you do the gesture to see the 'next page' you see the next 8 pages, so you can navigate much faster within the document.

  10. Hello, thank you for always providing a wonderful app.

    I would like to request a feature regarding the text tool in GoodNotes 6.

    In the current version, the minimum font size is fixed at 8pt.

    However, in previous versions, being able to use 1–7pt was extremely helpful for writing small annotations, subscripts, chemical formulas, and compact notes.

    If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could:
    ・ Allow font sizes below 8pt again (1–7pt)

    This function would benefit many users who need fine, detailed writing.

    Thank you very much for your consideration.

  11. Different suggestion from the much needed sub-outlines (see the 600+ voted on suggestion by Daniel Wyatt “Sub-Outlines in Outline”) which would bring in a collapsible feature in Outline.

    This is about being able to assign, to different elements of the outline, headings which would be integrated into the Outline system. Right now the document may have different internal headings, but if I add these to the GoodNotes Outline, they are difficult to keep in their actual order.

    The suggestion is as follows :
    Include the most common and convenient method to add headings using the # (as is possible in…

  13. When an Image is selected you get 8 handles to resize the image. The handles at the 4 corners resize the Image keeping the aspect ratio. That is expected behavior. But the handles at the edges should resize the width or the height of an image.
    It is currently not possible to insert a white image and resize it to mask a part of a page (classroom).

  14. Like in any application you can send images or objects backward, forward, etc. Would be great to have this especially when you want the handwritings to overlap with images or vice versa, or when you need to edit it.
    When I was still using a Samsung Note 8, I was able to do this so, im pretty sure the mighty iPad Pro can do it as well :)
    its pretty basic since many of the applications already in iOS do this. Would love for this basic feature to be available. if it already is, please... someone help me!

    GoodNotes 5 supports all system fonts. If you install custom fonts via profiles to iOS, you can use them with the Text Tool in GoodNotes. Tap the brush icon to modify the text style.

  16. When copying/pasting a picture from my MacBook to my iPad, the size of the image is inconsistent. For instance, I could copy a certain image from a website and it'll paste as 400x200. Another image from the same site that's about the same size will paste as 800x400. It seems to depend on the amount I'm zoomed in when pasting, but the option to maintain the size would be awesome.

  17. one type of paper that I like in other apps (and in real life) is dotted grid paper. it's like graph paper but instead of lines, there's just a dot at every intersection. example: http://www.dottedpaper.com/

  18. Add the flag for flagging pages back to the top left corner. I hate that I now have to click on the page organizer to add a flag or see which pages are flagged. It was especially helpful when the flag was located on the menu bar for when I am reading a document because it signals when to stop reading.

  19. When i scan a book , it is faster and more convenient to scan to pages together and we also get some black spaces because the size of the book doesn’t match the size of the scanner.

    I want to be able to crop the pages (get rid of black spaces) and split the ‘ two page’ scanned page in the middle.
    This site is doing the task but we have to pay for that

  20. Sadly the Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus 1 didn't make it into GoodNotes, so let's try it with the 2nd generation. I would love to the all three features fully integrated into GoodNotes (Pressure sensitivity, palm rejection and shortcut functionality).

    I know the Wacom fineline stylus is right here on the feedback page, but with it's additional two shortcut keys I am really excited about the CS2, not the fineline!

    Infos for the Wacom SDK:
