  2. We need an easy way to jump back to the open notebook from library. The statue quo is time consuming !

    Instead of opening a new document to go back, there should be another easier way to go back and forth smoothly

  3. Accessibility Option - Invert

    Allow for inverting colors of a document opened in the app. Nothing fancy like iOS smart invert needed; just invert all colors in document ignoring menu and drawing/highlighter colors. My eyes are sensitive to light, but I need to use an iPad to be able to view my textbooks in large print and take notes; I literally use sunglasses while studying, cause I require the contrast so lowering brightness doesn't help. Smart invert also doesn't work, and regular iOS invert is annoying to turn on and off as I am switching back and forth between apps during long and short…

  5. Make good notes account

    A good notes account is a good idea as iCloud sync is not reliable. Making a username and password to have all folders and notebooks safe in a “goodnotes account” is the best way to ensure nothing is lost, and is an easy way to access these notes on other compatible devices (like iPad to MacBook).

  6. Pen tool and shape tool have different size settings

    The size settings of pen tool and shape tool should be kept independent of each other. Suppose I want pen tool with a setting of 0.3 and shape tool with some different setting everytime I need to change the setting

  7. Username and Password

    It would be cool to have access to my GoodNotes across different devices by logging in to the app/website with a username and password in case I don’t want to/can’t use iCloud.

  8. hide cursor in goodnotes MacOS

    To use Goodnotes under MacOS with a Wacom tablet, a hide cursor feature would be absolutely mandatory. Write from styluslabs has such a feature. It is actually rendering handwriting impossible if there is always this crosshair cursor present.

  9. Quick page turning and page jumping

    Hello, when can I have a setting for quick page turning and page jumping? It is troublesome to slide my fingers when reading a book with many pages. Similar to this design

  10. More "quick access" pen colors

    I'd love to see an option to add more than 3 pen colors as "quick-access". I often use up to six colors and it is quite displeasing that I have to switch them around so much. I added a screenshot to clarify what I mean by "quick-access".

  12. Color Palette Bug

    When the app is closed out, the color palette rests on its own. I’d like to keep my palette if possible, even after closing out the app. This can maybe be fixed with the ability to save multiple palettes.

  13. support to write in a straight line

    I sometimes struggle to write in a straight line, it would be super cool if there'd be a feature, where you could insert some kind of ruler/support line, just a faint one, one that doesnt stay on the document, one that doesnt influence thats already written, that helps as a reference to write straight. thanks very much, apart from that, its a super super great app, i dont know how id do uni without you :D

  14. Expand Canvas Work Area

    I would love to be able to expand the area of the canvas so that I have more flexibility with writing on the pages without straining my hands. I find when I am filling a page that my hand starts to fall off my iPad and my handwriting/sketches start to become unstable because of the awkward writing angle. Having that extra bit of canvas space to move the current page I’m working on to a more comfortable position would work WONDERS.

    Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

  15. Two Great Additions

    Two things that would make this app even more amazing. First is the ability to hyperlink within the program. If you could link one note to another place anywhere in GoodNotes would be so useful. The other is to be able to add reminders. This would need to work with a hyperlink so a to-do task would notify you and then you could click and be taken right to where the reminder is referring to

  16. Link and mirror

    I use GoodNotes for my planning and now create my planner in keynotes first so I can link the tabs to the right page. I’ve seen more people suggesting this feature comes in GoodNotes itself too so you don’t need keynotes anymore.

    I want to add something to that suggestion: I would also like to link objects or text boxes so what you write on one place will be mirrored to another place.

    For example; I have a monthly overview but also days and weeks. I have in every day page a square in the same size as in the…

  19. Set more custom default fonts for the text box

    It would be nice to be able to set more custom default fonts, like the handwriting mode already has.This can be efficient when there is often a need to separate the headline from the body text.
