  2. Sometimes I'm forced to use PDF Expert when annotating PDFs, because I can get a summary of the annotations. Hope you can add to GoodNotes, then I'll be able to use it all the time.

  3. Just insert an auto-outline function — as given in Microsoft Word — so you can declare a style (e.g. Blue color, 3.5 mm pencil) as a title or subtitle and the written will be added to the outline of the document automatically.
    That would be awesome, I love the feature in imported pdf files.
    Thanks!

  4. You should add the possibility to view files’ and folders’ sizes in the goodnotes app. Also, you could add pages counter to see the total amount of pages in a certain notebook and which page we’re viewing (page 15/20). Also, you could add the possibility of viewing on the home page the total amount of notebooks in the app.

  6. The quality of imported images is really really bad! I can‘t read it sometimes or annotate anything because it has so many pixels.

  7. Would it be possible to do so that with the horizontal scrolling mode we can see 2-3 pages at a time. With the vertical mode when you get to the end of the page the start of the next one can be senn this way you can keep a continuity. On the horizontal scrolling mode, it would be great to have the next page directly on the right and last page on the left to keep a good overview at all time and make it look even more like a book this way.

  8. The written area, for example, can be resized (e.g. text field previously over the whole page, afterwards only on the left side). That would make it possible to write or take notes next to the previous text field without having to move the sentence parts individually so that there would be some space to take notes again.

  10. Okay so they did hierarchy but its kind of a pain to navigate. If you have many folders and are in one of the deeper folders you must keep pressing the back button until you get to your desired document. There should be a menu button (for instance near the Bookmarks button) that could be accessed to easily get from one document to another.

  11. You should be able to resize your selection horizontally only or vertically only. Sometimes I want to make something wider or taller and can’t. I have to just increase it in the 1:1 proportion. Please add this feature! Thank you!

  12. I sometimes face the problem that the app only suggests to jump to the next line in zoom window when I reach the last centimeter of the line I am currently writing on, so my idea is adding a setting which lets you choose how far on the page you have to write for the zoom window to jump to the next line.

    Also, I want to be able to control where it jumps to in the next line, not only the start.

    It would be even better if you could set a default in the app settings, but are…

  13. Allow the zoom feature to have gridlines or writing lings (horizontal only) (decided by the writer) in the zoom box even if the document is blank; this will make annotations neater (as they will be following straight lines). This would improve annotations massively.

    Thank you

  14. (This is not about adding a calligraphy pen itself.)
    I suggest adding a calligraphy mode, that similar to the app Over lets you type something and convert it to a nice style.
    This makes it possible to create good-looking headers easily without having to be a pro.

  15. It would be great if you could disable the automatic synchronization feature for a certain selected file. Thereby, huge files can be stored only on the device that has enough storage.

  16. In Microsofts OneNote its possible to import a PDF in a way that there is space next to every page of it. I really miss this in GoodNotes as this is a great feature to really work with texts an take a lot of annotations, event though there is no free space in the PDF. This would work great using landscape mode!

  18. Red sheet is unique to Japanese vocabulary books. As you know from the video, if you can use this sheet, it is definitely way easier to memorize various things such as vocabulary.

  19. When hand written text is selected, it would be a great feature to be able to perform a search on the selected text withou having go thru the sequence: convert->copy->open search->paste.
