  2. In GoodNotes 4, 3 colors and the eraser tool were easily accessible at the top of the zoom window. It would be great to have this back. It is a bit inconvenient to reach to the top of the ipad to erase, change tool or undo.

  4. There are times where I’ve lasso’d a diagram that I’ve drawn or handwriting and I’d like to drag it to the next page but it won’t let you. You have to copy, paste and delete to get the same result

  6. Put undo button back!!!

    Add option to drop straight down — not just left, right, and return

    I constantly wish there was an option to move zoom box down

  7. It is fairly easy, at least once I learned how, to drag and drop images into good notes. However, as buggy as it is One Note allows you to copy and paste videos. I feel it would be a great addition to GoodNotes if you could drag and drop embedded videos into notebooks.

  8. After importing a calendar book for the New Year, I find that I cannot adjust the height settings for the pages. This is very inconvenient. I take all of my notes in your app and spend way to much effort readjusting the text box position when I want to go to the next line on the page.

    Please give more flexibility to adjusting the "height" - line spacing - for individual pages or at least for a whole document once it is created.

    Thank you! This app is amazing!!!

  9. I am a teacher and i use GoodNotes as a blackboard. So it would be very useful to have a set Square and a pair of compasses visible to the students to show how to construct geometric forms.

  11. If there would be an option to measure the angle of existing lines would be great. You also could measure distances when you set a refenrence distance first.

  12. Enable a "Back" link. PDF "Back" links work until I import the PDF into GoodNotes. I know there is a "Back" menu item but it would be so much easier to support it via a link on a document.

  14. No offense to those who have designed the cover templates, but for designers, architects, engineers, artists and anybody who is more creatively inclined — we would much prefer to import images as backgrounds for creating our own custom covers, and/or design our own using some embedded tool. I need to visually glance at groups of notebooks and understand immediately what applies to what project, or in what category they are. This is something pretty critical for me as I ramp into using GoodNotes for many different projects.

  15. Most artistic or note apps allow you to select an image and directly resize it using two fingers to stretch or pinch. In this same way it can also be reoriented or flipped. Much easier than holding pressure and flipping to resize, and a must for resizing boxes when i am noteteaking for school. Thanks!

  16. Please add B5 paper worksheet, because there is no B5 choice and most college students are using B5 paper because it has a lot of space to write and i'm unable to print my notes to B5 paper type.

  18. Enable another level of capture, right now if you select part of the background contains hyperlinks you can only take a screenshot, would like to be able to do and capture the screen and hyperlinks, would allow cut and paste of hyperlinks, could make button bars that could be pasted in as needed, or elements with active links that could be pasted to a page as needed. Would let you overlay the captured pic/hyper links over items on another page.

  20. data security is a major concern for companies. good notes should be able to be used within a secure containerdefined by an mdm , to only allow storage of notes in well defined data storages.
