  1. Other sync options (Dropbox, Google, Box, etc..) I have iCloud blocked by a policy installed so I can access my job email in the iPhone. This has completely restricted the sync option for me .. seems like a very good idea to give alternate syncing options for probably even more reasons than just this one that happened to me.

  2. Currently, pages must be dragged one by one to another location in a notebook (in the Edit mode). This is quite tedious when multiple pages have to be moved elsewhere in a long notebook : you end up dragging one page from the top to the bottom of the notebook, and then repeat for every page, instead of dragging all the pages at once.

  3. I really like the ability to lock a page position and zoom when using Goodnotes as an electronic whiteboard for lecturing. However, a rather annoying trait is that the screen lock turns off every time the page advances.

    It would be nice to have an option to "lock all pages".

  4. I often need to copy things between multiple pages in the same document. For this reason it would be nice to have the same document in more than one tab with different pages.

  5. Es wäre klasse, eine Erinnerungsfunktion zu integrieren. Erinnerungen könnten zu einer Notiz auf dem Papier mit einem Symbol hinzugefügt werden. Als aktive Checkbox wäre ideal. Der betreffende Text könnte mit dem Lasso-Werkzeug markiert und später als Erinnerung angezeigt werden. Die Erinnerungen könnten in einer Übersicht, sortiert nach Notizbüchern, angezeigt werden. Diese Funktion wäre ungemein nützlich!

  6. Please allow for an opt-in to have the notebooks encrypted especially when clouded. This allows for more work related notes to follow good business conduct and will encourage more business support and adoption of your product.

  7. I love the new single finger swipe feature with Apple Pencil. It would be much improved if you could add the same functionality/behavior with eraser and lasso tools. With eraser or lasso tool selected, single finger swipe actually erases/selects instead of scrolling to new page. I am accustomed to using the Apple Pencil to erase or select with the lasso tool, and it would be more intuitive to allow the same single finger swipe behavior just as it does with pen/highlighter tool selected.

  9. When using the tv out mode it would be useful to have a set up mode where the ink does not show up on the large presentation screen.

    This would allow a teacher to create a lecture not pdf for the class to see and then have solutions already completed only visible on the iPad.

    The ink could be selectable so that it can be revealed at an appropriate time. Finally, at the end of the class the template can be reset so that all of the ink is invisible to the class again.

  10. Rather than going to the right corner and select the SEARCH button, I prefer to make is visible directly on the toolbar.

  11. If I create new note and I want to insert PDF page into that note I'm working on, this function is not available. The only way is to add the PDF page to your notebook as a separate page.

    Sometimes, we need to create notes and support that notes with a PDF document.

  12. While working with an iPad Pro 12" the navbar i kind of empty please add a fast option for color changing. It would be great if you would place about 5 colours directly between the boxwriting and the pen symbol and the pen thickness on the other side!

  13. Since the iPad Pro differentiates between pencil and finger interaction why not while using the pencil allow the finger to erase. This would be very efficient for the users.

  14. It would be nice if there were an option to autocorrect shapes. If I really want a diamond (decision) shape, but didn't draw a perfect shape, it'd be nice if there were a way for me to indicate I want autocorrection to adjust the angles so it's perfect. Same goes for circles, squares and rectangles (right angle correction). An example of this concept is how Paper does this, though my preference is to use GoodNotes. :)

  16. We can currently only print all pages or print 1 page, but I have lengthy notebooks with my math homework for instance, but I don't know the number of the page my homework starts on, I would like an option in addition to Print all and print this page, that would print starting from my current page. Sure its possible to scroll through the notebook and select the pages you actually want, but as I get further into the term, my notebooks get longer and longer and this becomes more and more tiresome.

  18. I take a ton of notes and produce a lot of todos from meetings, etc.

    OneNote had this feature 15 years ago whereby you would add a todo box next to the line of a handwritten note. It then had a todo notebook that would pull all of the todo boxes from all notebooks. I'm dying to have this feature. I've searched and searched and can't find the feature anywhere! Please please add this!!

  19. It would be great to be able to clip web content from a browser (as in Notability). Often I want to copy an equation from Wikipedia and insert it into my notes, ideally with a reference.
