  1. I have an iPad with large storage, and have only limited iCloud. I would love to clean my iCloud and move all all documents to my iPad storage. I am afraid to clear iCloud storage to loose any files as I’m not sure which ones are saved on iCloud and which ones are saved on iPad. I tried to find some help on blog but people are only asking about the other way around than I need, i.e. they are asking about uploading all the files to iCloud from iPad.

  2. A brush that when passed over the colors mixes them and thus creates gradients, for texts and drawings!
    I will leave an example of some texts that are nice in the procreate app, it would be very useful to have a mixer brush integrated in GoodNotes :)

  3. it would be great if the horizontal Page Swipe should be as smooth as the vertical.
    If you swipe to next pages you must do a long way with your finger.Sometimes two or three times.
    It needs to be faster.
    Thank you…

  4. The zoom window is great but it would be better if it wasn't locked to the bottom of the screen.

    If the zoom window could be moved to the upper or lower corners of the screen or relegated to a movable box. That way you could use the zoom window without moving the entire document all the time.

  5. It would be great if you could add new pages to the right of each page in vertical scrolling mode, like page(3.1).

  6. When I’m drawing a function like on a graph it would be helpful if i could just draw a parabola without it being ruined or not proper.

  7. It would be very usefull if it was added a color selector, much like paint as it. for example you are using someone else notes or writing or a preexisting template, it would be very helpful if you could select the color of something that written already and start using the same color to write

  8. Please enable handwritten fonts and assisted themes for the whole app (Like a system font), which we can choose to set, after submitting a PDF of our work as a token of thanks. We can choose from available fonts and themes on the GoodNotes website, and activate them by submitting our work as an inspiration for other or new users.

  10. I screenshot (with the lasso tool) parts of my textbook (pdf in goodnotes), but I have to screenshot and paste individually.
    I would like to screenshot (and possibly crop at the same time) and have them in a hold (like elements) and then paste them from the hold into my document. I would like it to be a temporary hold to, so an option to delete from this hold when pasted would be cool too.

  11. So often lecture slides are provided as PDFs with absolutely no room on them to make additional notes of your own...

    It would be great to have the option to convert a page to a "handout" view (i.e. like PowerPoint handout options), with either a single or multiple page slide.

    Having the option to do this at the point of import, or (additionally) to convert a page to a handout by 'editing' the page later would be awesome!

  14. The indent feature is currently only available on the left-hand side of pages. It would be very useful to have it on both sides.

  15. I would like the to have the ability to choose that accent colours within the GoodNotes app. I refer mainly to the blue strip at the top when viewing a document. Often, I turn my iPad onto the classic invert setting for nighttime viewing but the blue bar turns almost white when in dark or light mode on classic invert. I would like the ability to choose the colour of this blue bar.

  18. Here is my issue: I am writing a document with a lots of design and art work. Suppose I have filled page “A” with lot of content non sequentially. Now I’ve moved on to next page “B”. Accidentally I draw somethings on page B. Then as per my habit I tap undo couple of times, now if unknowingly do more undos than the changes on page B. It undos changes on page A as well. If I don’t notice it then I’ve lost last content put on page A. If I notice it, then I have to press redo till…

  19. In the app called Documents, by Readdle, there is a feature for PDF files called Crop Mode, which removes excess white space around a page (if applicable), allowing text to be brought more to the front, closer to filling up the entire screen. It is very functional, and makes reading easier since the texts is expanded. As you can see based on photos, the text becomes significantly bigger. This feature alone makes me have to keep my textbooks in the Documents app, since GoodNotes doesn't have this feature. Would love to see it come to GoodNotes! Thank you for your…
