  1. Please add an option to put the highlighter under the writing instead of over it, to make and keep it more colourful. Currently, the highlighter makes the writing black looking.

  2. Please give us an option to choose dark/black color for the blue bar on the top! Or just make the blue bar black in a dark mode theme! It will look better that way!

  3. Constantly closing open tabs while trying to hit the undo-button in upper right corner.

    Would love to be able to set a personalised gesture for the undo-feature

  4. The selection tool and eraser should have options for selecting only the highlighter or pen. This would allow speakers to "reuse" pages for live lectures (for example, in a zoom conference or youtube recording).

  5. I would like to be able to add a boarder stroke on inserted photos so that will show up better on blank pages. Also the ability to change the size of the stroke, as in wider or slimmer.

  6. There are shortcuts built in to iOS and iPadOS for copying and pasting which aren’t supported (three fingers spread out for paste and the fingers pinch for copy) which could help save time for both text and images, especially when using any tool.

  7. There are many PDF files whose page sizes are not A4 or A3-This kind of the standard size. This causes a problem when importing PDF, which is that the pages added to the document are not the same size as the PDF pages imported. Therefore, I think the imported document should be zoomed when it is displayed. For example, when the page is turned vertically, all the pages should be displayed in the same width, and the standard size of the page should be selected when exporting Pdf.

  11. Would like a button or similar feature when naming a notebook or folder. I create multiple notebooks weekly and like to have the date as apart of the name. Need a quick way to do it.

  12. I know there are tabs, but id like a way to open another document without having to leave my current note and go searching in the folders/search field directly. I feel it could save time.

  13. Ability to condense power point slides into one, in order to alleviate the storage usage of the document but also to make finding the slides much more streamlined.

    Meaning multiple slides(3 or more) would be put on one page in a slightly smaller version of the original in order to avoid having to scroll through lets say 90 slides or more.

  14. When a new folder is created the user has to manually tap the text field to fill in the title..... instead, have the cursor auto-populate to the text field so that the user does not go to type... realize the field is not auto-selected and then have to go back and select it.

    I love the App!

  15. When I write in GoodNotes, I prefer to use dark papers, while yellow pencil is suitable. But if I show notes to others, I need to change the background, and yellow handwriting will become too shallow.

  16. I like underlining a lot of my handwriting, and constantly toggling between handwriting and underlining really decreases my writing speed!

    Thank you very much!

  18. Presenting pdf slides on the iPad is important when screencasting lectures. Usually, animations are implemented by advancing pages seamlessly in the pdf file. Presenting such pdf slides is possible in full-screen presentation mode on an external screen using flip-book style page transitions. During screencasting, a flip-book style scroll mode on the iPad screen would allow the pdf animations (or any other prepared flip-book style animations) to appear correctly in the screencast.

    Alternatively, support screencasting directly using the options from presentation mode on the external screens, i.e., screencasting with audio what one would see on the external monitor.

  19. I have two devices. One at home for personal usage and one at work. I use different documents in each iPad and I’d like to be able to set different favorites docs in each.
