  1. The idea is very simple:
    Being able to select different items in one page, having them in a clipboard, and pasting them in another order. said items could be text, sketches, marked up images, or even handwritten paragraphs, really could be anything. I feel like we are so used to having the one item copy paste clipboard, but this could be really a huge feature. Also making them stick to the clipboard even after the first paste, is a feature I see a lot of Chemistry/physics/engeneering notes being boosted with.
    I hope I delivered the concept.
    I am not a…

  2. I often keep related documents together in a folder. So when I want to work on that set of documents I have to go back and forth to open all of them in their own tab. It would be nice to have the option to open all documents in a folder at once.

  3. The cutout tool should work over pages. If I'm cutting out a text or object on page one, then vertically scroll a bit down to page 2 I should be able to move the marked object over the pages to place it on the new one without copying it every time just for rearrange purposes.

  4. When writing, it is natural to tilt the notebook and place it at angle. Typically people use 45 degree angle with their paper notebooks. Some tilt more, some less.
    On the other hand, when reading, typical notebook and book position is where text is perpendicular to the line of sight.
    It could be really nice if there was a way to tilt notebook inside of Good Notes without tilting the iPad. Tilting entire iPad is even less convenient when iPad stands on a stand (which is how I use it most of the time).

    P.S. Good Notes does recognize tilting…

  5. Notability somehow takes up considerably less amounts of space on the iPad compared to goodnotes. How can we optimise the data to maximise space saving?

  6. I would like to know when good notes will be available on Microsoft Go? I need to buy a tablet for my work, my job requires goodnote but I would really prefer Microsoft Go over an iPad. Please let me know ASAP. Thank you!

  7. Add a function, like in GoodReader, where there is a “back to reading” button - so you can toggle between a document and the file browser view.

  9. The magnified writing window in GoodNotes 4 had a small menu bar, where one could change the pen colour, select the eraser and jump back and forth between the last changes. It greatly helped the writing flow, because one didn't need to go to the top of the screen.
    Please bring that back!

  10. Enable a way to create a shortcut on the homescreen on your device. So instead of having to open goodnotes and then your notebook, just be able to open your notebook directly from the homescreen of the device.

  11. When displaying a note to a display like a TV via AirPlay, you should be able to “lock” a note to the external display and allow the person using an iPad reference other notes without showing them to the audience. In other words, selecting a single document/page as the “Live” document in the presentation.

  13. I have made a more detailed blog post with examples that can be found here: https://jess-ambers-blog.weebly.com/home/goodnotes-transparency-and-background-colours

    As someone who makes GoodNotes journal covers, I appreciate flexibility in being able to make covers that look like real books. Part of that includes rounded corners and things that protrude, like the clasp on a filofax planner. When I make these images as transparent PNGs, the background becomes white in GoodNotes. I've tried to alleviate this by adding a solid grey background, but this isn't good enough for a couple of reasons.
    1. The shade of grey is not consistent between the main…

  15. Hi, it would be nice if we could fix a default (preferred) size for the zoom window, or see the exact size so we can chose the right one for each type of document. I do not know if it is already possible.
    For the moment, if I change the zoom window for some reason, I can't return to my preferred exact size after.

    I am sorry if this idea has already been proposed, I could not find it.

  16. If we could have two documents open at the same time within GoodNotes and then use drag and drop for moving, text, ink, etc...

    By split view I mean it needs to be like you get splitview on Safari on the iPad.

  18. Enabling strikethrough would give me the option of quickly deleting word(s) that I wrongfully entered. It saves me time compared to when I pick the eraser tool, erase items, and choose the pen tool again and then write.
