  3. Memorize sorting criteria by folder/file list

    It would be useful if Goodnotes could retain the preferred sorting criteria by folder/file list. Personally, I prefer by type for lists of folders or lists of archived notes, but for long list of files including some files which I use daily, I would prefer by date. Right now, I have to manually switch the sort criteria each time I access the different lists.

  4. Tabulator in den Textfeldern optimieren.

    In den Textfeldern funktioniert schon das Thema, mit der Tabulatortaste der Tastatur den Text zu verschieben. Nur leider begrenzt. Nur über 5 kleine Schritte, dann springt der Text bereits eine Spalte tiefer und rechts wäre noch soviel Platz frei...

  5. Simple Keyboard Only Tools for Iphone

    As a Goodnotes user on Ipad (+ Pencil) and Iphone I would really like more flexibility with using a keyboard for text imput on both platforms, but primarily on Iphone.

  6. The ability to move you file sytem of goodnotes over to a home NAS.

    This way a new note would automaticly be stored on my NAS. Also I would not have to use ICloud to see my notes on other devices. This would make things a lot more orginised and it would also save storage space on my ipad! :)

  9. Uploading multiple templates at once

    I'd like to be able to select multiple images and upload them as templates (paper/cover) as it's a bit tedious when I want to upload many original templates, and having to upload them one by one.

  11. Share View-Only Links

    It would be wonderful for view only links of documents. As a teacher teaching during distance learning, I would like to post notes that I’ve written without giving the students the ability to edit it.

  12. Have running titles and headings

    It would be great to be able to have a header seperate to the rest of the page to hand write titles. The you could set he header to duplicate across the next x amount of pages.

    I know you can hand write the title each time, or lasso tool the title and copy it manually, but longer documents can be tedious.

    I would like to be able to write “Lecture 1 - Introduction” on my first page, the set the header to repeat for the next 3 pages. Then write “Lecture 2 - Theory’ on page 4, and set…

  13. zoom box and tool bar both on top

    I think Goodnotes would be more functional and enjoyable if the tools and the zoom box were near each other instead separated. It makes it easier to switch from tool to tool while utilizing the zoom function. Having the tools on the same bar where the indent, shift buttons, and x keys are on the zoom box would be so helpful!

  14. Automatic Heading Numbering & Grammarly Integration.

    I create my notes off professors’ notes, and thus I need an option to go to a subsequent number when I hit enter. I still use Microsoft Word for this because GOODNOTES 5 doesn't offer this possibility. Also, it would be great if you could integrate GRAMMARLY to GOODNOTES 5.

  16. Highlight to work behind of my handwriting instead as in front of it.

    On dark pages the highlighter is not going to the back on the handwritten text.

  17. Restore backup from automatic backup

    Presently it is not possible to restore directly from an automatic backup (oneway backup function to a distant drive different than icloud). You have to first download all the files and folder from the distant drive (ex google drive) then zip them and then send them via airdrop to the ipad and open it with Goodnotes.
    And it’s even more difficult if you have selected the option to backup .goodnotes and .pdf files because you need to delete the .pdf files ...

    Please add a restore function simple to use

  18. Organisation

    I know that some people like the more simplistic aspect of a lighter weight organisation system, but I know many more users including myself who would love to have a comprehensive and neatly sewn-together file sorting system where we can visually class, group and reference our notes.

    I much prefer the features and dynamic of GoodNotes, however, the organisation is a major dealbreaker for many as to why they pick Notability. I think many people will value such a feature greatly. Thanks! :)

  19. normal pointer or mouse cursor for the Mac version.

    Sometimes I want to copy worlds out for googling or something like that. To get a better workflow with Goodnotes 5 for Mac it wood be nice to have a common mouse cursor in the toolbar. Than you can mark worlds or sentences and copy them out.
