  1. Slide over for folder access

    It would be great to be able to slide over from the left of my iPad and see the folder navigation, to easy open another notebook. OneNote does this very well. candidly their folder structure is the one inferior part of onenote and gives me daily anxiety about using GoodNotes - which I love otherwise.

  3. PDF to Sepia

    My main use of GoodNotes is to read academic whitepaper PDFs and annotate them. I'd really like it if I could convert the white backgrounds to a sepia tone to make them easier on the eyes. iOS Night Shift changes too much in my opinion. It'd be awesome if there was a way to naively just change every pixel of one color to another color, say white -> sepia, black -> gray, white -> black, etc.

  5. Keyboard Shortcuts Mac

  6. stop turning on spellchecker after I have turned it off

    Actually, this appears to be a bug. In Mac OS, I specifically turn off spellchecker because I am tutoring kids remotely during school shutdowns and I am teaching them how to spell. Spellchecker needs to be off. I turned it off in the system AND locally in Goodnotes. Unfortunately, every time I open a new text box and the student starts typing again, spellchecker is on again. I have to turn it off for each new text box. Help!

  7. A Real research, to search his different notes

    It would be nice to be able to search for his notes. What has been highlighted or what has been drawn, or written by hand, because global research does not allow it. And / Or have a list of annotations that we made and in which we could do research

  11. “Clone Stamp Tool” Write once, as if many times

    A tool that allows you to set several ‘Stamp’ point, and when you write something, the same will appear from each ‘Stamp’
    This can make something easier, such as write duplicated words, or draw parallel lines
    Write something once, as if wrote the same many times

  12. Edit scanned documents (Even if they are templates)

    It would be nice if it were possible to edit images in Good notes, because sometimes I have some dirt on the scanned document due to scanning and I cannot remove it.

    I also often have the problem that I want to remove something that was previously visible on the document I scanned.

    Please add a function to edit images and scanned documents to make this app even more perfect!

  13. Mirrored Drawing Mode

    A Pen/Pencil Drawing Mode , where it "mirrors" everything you draw along the "x" or "y" axis.

    This would allow for drawing custom symmetrical shapes much faster and easier.

  15. Add attachments to notebooks

    Sometimes, I take notes that relate to documents. Currently, I can import those documents within the notebook but that often makes notebooks unnecessarily large and it's not easy to navigate through so many pages.

    Instead, it would be nice to be able to attach files to notebooks, so that they are at hand when reviewing the notes.

  17. Mirror presenter page: scale to align top and sides rather than top and bottom

    I use goodnotes on an ipad when teaching large calculus classes. The vertical scroll feature with "mirror presenter page" is great, but currently the projected image is scaled so that the top and bottom of the student view matches the top and bottom of the ipad view. This forces the instructor to turn the ipad sideways (in landscape orientation) to make use of the full width of the projector screen. But then the zoom window interface hides at least 1/3 of the screen on the ipad, obscuring much of what the students see from the instructor's view. It would be…

  18. Improve the highlighting tool

    As of now, I love the highlighting tool. I love how you can highlight in straight lines and how the highlighter automatically appears behind your writing or text, and doesn’t alter it’s colour.
    However, on all the pictures you post on your website etc, all the hand drawn diagrams are beautifully coloured in.
    THIS IS NOT REALISTIC.
    To get a uniform line, you cannot lift your pen off your screen, otherwise the highlighter’s colour « builds up » to become darker.
    This is very annoying because it makes coloring in simple shapes very difficult.
    If you go outside the lines, you have…

  19. Allow option to use PDFDisplayMode: twoup

    https://developer.apple.com/documentation/pdfkit/pdfdisplaymode/twoup

    Apple's PDFKit allows to show two pages of a PDF side by side. PSPDFKIT (which is what Good Notes 5 uses) should support the same option.

    I'm currently using the iPad 12.9 and typically have it in the horizontal orientation and there's soooo much wasted screen real estate. When making notes on a book or a large report, it's helpful to have more context on what is before and after the content. PDF books are often typeset such that content being read on a left hand side has images or quotes from the right hand side, and context is…

  20. Better Handwriting Recognition Line Breaks needed

    When I convert handwriting to text, every line of handwriting has a hard line break after it in the resulting text. When handwriting a longer report, this is quite troublesome because my handwritten lines have fewer words than my typed work does. I have to go back in later to remove all of those breaks manually. Is there any way to get around this so that it is by paragraph instead?
