  1. horizontal and vertical rulers for precise item placement on the page

    Please add horizontal and vertical rulers (similar to the rulers available is MS word / indesign, etc ...) so that the user would be able to place an object/write in a precise location. This is very helpful if someone intends to print a page with specific header/footer sizes and left/right margins, or for example if someone wants to place an object 4cm from the top, and 2cm from the left of the page.

  10. Expand to GoogleDrive or Dropbox to backup files instead of just iCloud

    I was recently told that you can only back up and synch to iCloud if you want to use GoodNotes5 across multiple devices. It would be great to be have the option to do it through Google Drive or Dropbox as well.

    I believe this was an option previously. Please, please bring it back!

  14. Accept the user's rotation of scans

    This is more of a bug report than a feature request, and it concerns the rotation of scanned documents from my iPad's camera.

    When importing a scan into GN using GN's own "Scan Documents" feature, the user is permitted to change the rotation, crop, and color scheme (b&w, color, etc) of the scan. This happens after the picture is taken with the camera. I frequently have to rotate a page 90 degrees to correct the text direction, but no matter what rotation I chose, GN imports it to a notebook with the original orientation. Very often, this creates a mismatch…

  15. Machine learning handwriting autocorrect

    Use machine learning/AI to (optionally) record and catalog handwriting and be able to autocorrect handwritten text. Would be fantastic if it could also match sizes and styles of surrounding texts. After enough cataloging, it could even create a font with your handwriting.

  16. Enhanced Collaboration Options

    I share my Bullet Journal with a virtual assistant so she knows what I’m working on and can pick up tasks from it. But sharing for collaboration is all or nothing — every notebook and full editing permissions. Read-only permissions and collaboration on a single notebook would be helpful.

  17. Support the ability to export deep links

    Deep links are a game-changing feature of apps like Craft. They allow me to save a link in the form appname://open?fileID=xxxxxx which is fantastic for archiving, planning, references, and other workflows. I don’t want to use shareable links for this purpose because it’s less efficient.

    I hope the suggestion is useful!

  20. Add voice notes or record in GoodNotes.

    First , I chooses GoodNotes but when i when I know the two things about Noteshelf is that-
    1) we can recor d and also import voice record from file and also we can manage on page where we need .
    2) and also individual file lock
    Really this attract me and I switched on Noteshelf..

    If GoodNotes also add this feature in his app then it will be great.
