    1. There should be a function to add text/handwritten notes to highlights/or anywhere in the document in PDF reader. After adding the the text/notes, the text box can minimize into an icon next to the highlighted area.

    2. The notes can be compiled and exported/email/printed with or without the document. Information (page no of document/highlighted passages) can be displayed together with/without the notes when exported. This provides easy reference to the notes.

  1. Have the option to have multiple default text font options like Notability does. Having to change each time to make a different font or font size is very tedious so having the option to have some preset font options in font style and size will make Goodnotes unbeatable!

  3. Recently I was grading PDF exams in Goodnotes. I grade a lot better if I grade everyone's Problem 1, then go back and grade everyone's Problem 2, and so on.

    Once I have all 50+ of my students' exams open, the tabbed file system makes it very easy to switch between files. (THANK YOU for allowing me to have 50+ tabs open at once!) But on the first pass I have to open the files one by one. Is there a way to open all files in a folder (in separate tabs)?

  4. Sarebbe utile poter registrare audio e video dello schermo e di poter mettere in pausa qualora ve ne fosse la necessità durante la registrazione stessa. Sebbene vi siano applicazioni che hanno questa funzione mi sentirei più sicuro ad utilizzare qualcosa che appartenga già a GoodNotes! Colgo l’occasione complimentarmi e ringraziarvi per la splendida applicazione!

  6. Please provide a “Feedback” feature in the GoodNotes app.

    I would suggest in [Settings] > [About] page.

  7. Currently in split view, only one side has the option to back out to the previous page (for me it's the folder the notebook is in). The other side only has the option to close the app. I want both sides to have the option to go back to the folder level.

  8. I get tons pictures from my students’ works.
    So I’d like to open several pictures or documents from Files as pages of one single document.

    So far you can select and share them in GoodNotes, but then I’ll just get many single documents with one page each.
    So here should be a dialog like „Open as separate documents“ or „Open all in a single document“ or „Add to document“.

    You could open a new document in GoodNotes you want to have the pictures in, go to Thumbnail view, go back to Files and share the pictures in GoodNotes (then you’ll…

  10. Currently I have to crop the image manually every time when I take a picutre of the slide during a presentation. It would be very helpful if there was an option to do the cropping automatically and also do a simple correction for projection effects to make the slide the appropriate aspect ratio.

  11. In the previous edition of Goodnotes 5(5.4.19), the developer seemed to cancel the feature of brush stroke(seen in the following picture), which might be linked to the improvements on algorithm. This change has made the writing experience so weird and unreal, so I wish you can return the brush stroke in the previous editions.

  12. 現状、iCloudバックアップはGoodNotes5に保存している全てのデータを自動でCloudにアップロードして他のデバイスでファイルに加えた変更が反映されるようになっているがデバイスごとの容量の違いから読み込めないファイルが発生してしまい容量の小さい方のデバイスでiCloudバックアップをオンにできない状況が発生しています。

    例えば自分はiPad Pro(512Gb)とiPad mini(64Gb)を使っています。iPad Pro内のGoodNotes5に保存したデータが100Gbを超えており全てiCloudにアップロードしています。しかしiPadminiの容量が足りないためにiPadmini内のGoodNotes5のiCloudバックアップをオンにできない状況です。

    この解決策としてGoodNotes5内の全てのファイルをiCloudにアップロードする必要はないため、アップロードするファイルを選択して使えるようにできたらより便利になると思います。
    ご検討のほどよろしくお願いします。

  14. The Zoom window is too small when it moves to the next line. If you want to indent, it's really annoying to have to advance it to get a full sized window.

  15. Please return the box cloud support in goodnotes 5. I put a lot of files on my box account and not want to switch to other cloud storage. It used to be available in goodnotes 4 for auto-backup. Thanks

  17. I would like to be able to set the default option when importing to GoodNotes to be “Last Page” rather than “After” to prevent accidentally inserting large documents to the middle of other large documents.

  19. Is there any way to select a default folder instead of the root folder (I’m using Google Drive) to export a note in pdf (using iPad version) ?

    I always need to select subfolders after subfolders to put my file to the right place.
