  1. You have an excellent app!

    Please can you improve it by allowing more than one image to be selected and imported into GoodNotes from the users camera roll at a time.

    Sometimes I need to import 10 or more screenshot images from my camera roll and currently I have to do this one at a time which is very cumbersome.

    Please can we have multiple image import from camera roll, or if it already exists let me know how I can do this?

    Thanks,
    David

  3. We definitely need to sync data of GoodNotes with other cloud storage services rather than iCloud!
    Since we only have 5GB with default in iCloud, it’s pretty hard to maintain available storage.

    Please add a ability to link with cloud storages that we usually use.(including Box, GoogleDrive, OneDrive, Dropbox etc.)
    Especially Box would be very nice for me!

  4. Please please please make the grid likes actually automatically fit to the text, any text box just kind of floats on top of the lines and you have to resize the text and try to fit it to the lines and it never works. If text worked better I would use it more

  5. The ability to insert larger pages where required. I see from a previous response that continuos pages aren't an option for various good reasons. However, the ability to have larger pages that you can scroll around, zoom in, zoom out on would be useful. There are times when you need to put a lot of information on one page.

  6. In GoodNotes 4, before the ios print dialogue, there was an option to "fit to page" when printing (And also one to remove backgrounds before printing). In GoodNotes 5, those options are gone, which means that my printer (who can't print the outer 3mm of a page, as do most printers) always cuts off just a little bit of the page. This is a huge problem with tight maths pages, where the last bits of formulas/text are cut-off, see PDF attached.

  7. It would be nice to be able to lock a drawn vector shape to prevent erasure. I would like to be able to draw a matrix (table) and then populate the matrix with test data values. Currently, if I make a mistake and need to rease a value, the underlying column and row boundary lines will be erased also.

  9. Currently, hyperlinks in pdf files seem to be activated only in view mode.
    When using styluses, this kind of limitation is not necessary.

  10. 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.

  11. Please add a way to overlay two PDF sheets for comparison/mapping.

    By default PDF backgrounds are clear - can we get a way to overlay the line information from one PDF sheet on to another? This would be extremely useful for architects, engineers, contractors, fabricators, etc.

    For example, in Bluebeam I can take a snapshot anywhere in a PDF and paste it on to another sheet with no white background.

    One way to accomplish this would be with a layer system. Another would be with the option to do an overlay sheet on top of another sheet, with the upper…

  12. By integrating the search in spotlight, I can search for a word in all my files. For example for school I wanna know something about what I wrote down, but I don’t know anymore if I typed in GoodNotes or pages, I can find it within one search.

  13. Ich liebe diese App und benutze sie täglich in der Uni!
    Eine Funktion, die mir fehlt ist, dass man in ein vorhandenes Dokument (in meinem Falle das vorlesungsskript) Hilfslinien oder ein raster einfügen kann. So könnte man ordentlich und gerade mitschreiben und wenn man fertig ist die Hilfslinien einfach wieder ausblenden. Das wäre großartig!

  14. Have the ability to write on a second sheet that is superimposed on the page as a layer.
    This would make it possible to add elements on the layer, for example text on an image, and to be able to manipulate them easily.

  18. Have the option to enable/disable guidelines (lines and/or gridlines), while I'm writing on a template, that way I can write on a "straight line" in a blank template for example.

  19. When choosing a preset, it would be useful if presets remembered what thickness you liked for that pen and if you had shape recognition enabled.
    Use case: I'm studying on a PDF book; to underline and take notes I'm using:
    - A yellow marker with shape recognition enabled to draw a perfect line on the text
    - A red thick pen with shape recognition enabled to further underline
    - A black thin pen and a red thin pen without shape recognition to write notes.

    With the current implementation, I have to choose the color, then choose the thickness, then enable…

  20. I use Goodnotes for study, and i add bookmarks. It would be great to be able to reorganize the bookmarks (alphabetically or numerically). That way, finding the right page would become easy AND quick, not having to read through hundreds of bookmarks to find the right one

    The app is great, one of the best in my opinion,
    Thanks, and keep up the good work
