  1. Please allow page naming. In larger documents it’s so hard to navigate and the outline feature is useless because it can’t be re-ordered. The only way I currently know of is to export to Acrobat, re-order the pages and bring back into Goodnotes but then any annotations are flattened and text becomes uneditable.

  2. I have dyslexia and it would be wonderful if I could listen to the notes I take. Right now I have to copy it and paste is a page that could read it for me. So it would help me a lot if an option for reading out loud is added

  3. Please allow to offload folders oder large documents from the ipad and just let them be saved in the icloud. So you can save more storage on the device an still have access to the documents that you dont youse a lot (e.g. Textbooks or old Powerpoint slides).

    Just like Apple does it with their icloud documents on a mac.

  4. When you select a paper template of any size e.g. A4, letter, etc. by default have the paper fill the screen width so it's not necessary to expand it. I can double-tap the paper template and it fits screen size but having it fit without double-tap would save so much time when you change from portrait to landscape and back again. Thanks. PS Notability has this feature.

  6. I use more than 3 colors in my notes, so I constant have to switch which ones are selected in the tool bar. I’d like to have at least 5 different colors available in the tool bar without having to click one and change it, then change it back once I need another color.

  7. Dear GoodNotes

    Hi, I'm an university student who is using your application very often.

    It is a bit shameful to say but to be honest, my handwriting isn't that good.

    So I hope the good notes automatically change my handwriting into Text.

    If you apply deep learning system for each users, AI will understand and change someone's handwriting to Text even if his handwriting is barely understandable in human's view . And also, users can customize their own AI system.

    It must improve and reduce misconversion for each users.

    I hope you consider about it

    Best regards

  8. Can we please add more paper sizes such as A4, B4, and JIS B5?

    I'm a university student who uses B5 sized paper for my notes and I would like to print my GoodNotes pages out onto my regular B5 paper.

    Thank you

  9. It would be a huge time saver if somehow the app would automatically index any sort of annotation to either the front of the doc to summarize certain chapters or documents. This could effectively summarize the ideas and create an outline of the doc so that one would not have to go back to find different highlights etc.

  10. Other than just the lasso tool to select pieces of a Goodnotes document, I’d like to see a “smart select” option that would let you highlight written or typed text (like LiquidText can do for PDFs), so that you can move and edit the properties of the selected handwritten text. This would also help avoid erroneous selection of text and/or objects with the lasso tool and make the application more user-friendly.

  11. Please add an option to remove the animation when moving through files (i.e. opening folder, opening file) to make it snappier. Sometimes I have to open a file in a whole other directory and it alway takes what feels like ages to get there.

  12. I write my notes in the black template with some white writing and it's impossible to print my notes this way. Having a feature that automatically identified white text in the selected pages and also changed the template would be so helpful for the process of printing!

  13. I don’t know whether this is possible, but I think it would be great if one could add/link a document into a notebook.
    But not in the way that you would have to get through the pages but for example, you‘d see the icon of the document or document folder on the page in your notebook and when you click on it, the linked document would open up.
    This would be especially great for word documents, since I sometimes write something into a notebook but I don’t like the text box option. Having the option to link the document, I…

  14. The flash card studying window on a mac is not using the screen size. The window on an iMac is so small that the cards are only barely readable even if the application is opened as a full screen window.

  15. When I zoom in and add sticker, it will go out of the screen and create in the middle of the page, so every time I have to zoom out and adjust the scale and position of it. It’s quite annoying.

  19. A template with an automatic numbering system. The template would have a positionable "page number" feature, with the option to have the total page count as well. I wouldn't have to manually add "1 of 6", "2 of 6" to my pages, then change them all if I add a 7th page.

  20. Instead of highlighter overlining text, program it to switch behind the text. Included is a photo with the above text featuring an overlined highlight, and the lower text featuring "behind" highlight. (In order to achieve "behind", need to first mark with highlighter then write over with pen). The current "overline" setting is frustrating because it compromises the color of the pen instead of accenting it.
