  1. When the app is closed out, the color palette rests on its own. I’d like to keep my palette if possible, even after closing out the app. This can maybe be fixed with the ability to save multiple palettes.

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. Two things that would make this app even more amazing. First is the ability to hyperlink within the program. If you could link one note to another place anywhere in GoodNotes would be so useful. The other is to be able to add reminders. This would need to work with a hyperlink so a to-do task would notify you and then you could click and be taken right to where the reminder is referring to

  5. I use GoodNotes for my planning and now create my planner in keynotes first so I can link the tabs to the right page. I’ve seen more people suggesting this feature comes in GoodNotes itself too so you don’t need keynotes anymore.

    I want to add something to that suggestion: I would also like to link objects or text boxes so what you write on one place will be mirrored to another place.

    For example; I have a monthly overview but also days and weeks. I have in every day page a square in the same size as in the…

  8. Have an option for us to scan document using iPad camera and cropping the image before pasting on our notes, and image pasted could be in PDF or image format. This will tremendously help in note taking

  10. It would be nice to be able to set more custom default fonts, like the handwriting mode already has.This can be efficient when there is often a need to separate the headline from the body text.

  11. Please add horizontal and vertical rulers (similar to the rulers available is MS word / indesign, etc ...) so that the user would be able to place an object/write in a precise location. This is very helpful if someone intends to print a page with specific header/footer sizes and left/right margins, or for example if someone wants to place an object 4cm from the top, and 2cm from the left of the page.

  14. Sometimes we import a whole pdf into goodnotes and annotate some of the pages. it would be nice to be able to easily search and extract all the pages that have annotation to serve as a quick reviewer.

  16. Hey! I know the app allow us to choose new colours and add them to a big pallete, but instead of thtat, it would be even great if we could create more than one pallete for different documents. Like this...

  17. I was recently told that you can only back up and synch to iCloud if you want to use GoodNotes5 across multiple devices. It would be great to be have the option to do it through Google Drive or Dropbox as well.

    I believe this was an option previously. Please, please bring it back!
