  1. inserire il giustificato.

    vorrei che nel prossimo aggiornamento nella categoria testo venga aggiunta la possibilità di giustificare il testo invece di esserci solo allineamento al centro, a destra o a sinistra.

  3. Links and videos

    If you're not going to try to add voice recording to goodnotes, I think it would be just as helpful to add the ability to link websites, or paste videos into the notes the same way you'd attach a picture. GIFs would be fascinating as well.

  5. Switching of ink colours when toggling between dark mode and light mode

    Idea: Allowing white ink in dark mode to automatically be switched to black ink in light mode. Basically, allow for visibility of the inks when switching between dark mode and light mode. Collanote (a free app) is able to do this and I would love for this to also be available in Goodnotes!

  6. Import PDF comments from other apps

    As long as I cannot import the yellow stickie comments from Acrobat into GN, this app is unfortunately useless to me.

  7. Group certain colors together

    I think it would be beneficial to add a feature where you can chose 3 colors that are automatically selected when you choose it. For example, instead of having to choose red, blue, and yellow colors, you could choose the group instead. This way the three colors are automatically selected on the hot bar.

  8. Timecode

    It would be fantastic if there could be an hour/minute/second timer built into goodnotes. My purpose is for taking notes on movies and tv episodes since I work in post production, but I could see this being useful for taking notes during video lectures etc to be able to reference back to a certain timecode easily, or have a time of day stamped to notes. How I could see it implemented is pressing a tool in the toolbar, followed by pressing on the paper, dropping the timecode onto that spot. Maybe long pressing the tool could allow you to reset…

  10. We need end-to-end encryption of our notes! Please allow us to use Cryptomator

    Cryptomator allows users to sync data on whatever cloud service they want. It is end-to-end encrypted.

    iCloud, One Drive, Dropbox, etc. are not secure. These tech companies can decrypt user data at will.

    This is why Good Notes needs to support users being able to sync to different locations within settings, so that users can point their sync to a Cryptomator vault to protect their data.

  11. Ideas about content and page number

    I hope that you can added two useful functions to the app.

    The first one is that let the user modify the code of book, that is, let the user customize the first page of books. The users can not go to according page that the content tell us because the page number in the app is a sum equals the later page number add the content，including the cover. That's really make me crazy.

    The second one is that Increase the level of the outline. We can add the page to the outline, but we can not set the lever…

  12. Reveal tool for presentation mode

    When 'Mirror Presenter Page' or 'Mirror Full Page' is active, it would be useful to be able to progressively reveal elements.

    I imagine this would be grouped with the laser pointer tool and when selected would dim or reduce the opacity of all elements on the page in the device view but hide them on the external display. The tool would then function like the inverse of the eraser (stroke, standard or precision, different pen sizes) to reveal the elements. Selecting another tool would reveal all elements again (no saved state) and selecting another page while the reveal tool is…

  13. Additional Colors in Toolbar

    There should be at least 5 colors in the toolbar specially for the highlighter feature. It would help instead of tapping a color to change it and then another tap to change it back to the original. 3 colors isn't enough when used in studying notes/books.

    I hope that the handwritten conversion text can be replaced directly onto the converted text instead of needing to copy and paste.

  16. Navigation and bookmarks

    When we study Lange text books using good notes navigation is a bit difficult eg we should have the go to previous page option other wise we have a tough time going back and forth between pages. Abo book marks can be made of more than one colour so that book marked pages can be categorized.

    Lastly the long press option to highlight or underline in readonly mode is highly desirable but has been taken of in the updates

  17. line thickness

    Instead of just having three line thicknesses for your pen tool, please can we have a plus and minus button with more variations? When I write, the smallest line thickness is too thin and the medium is too thick. There’s no happy medium

  18. Changing color with lasso tool

    Changing color of written or typed notes with lasso tool.
    For example if you color code your notes and accidentally write a paragraph in the wrong color, you can change the color of everything that is encircled in the lasso.

  20. prevent undo-gesture when in read only mode

    When in read-only mode, the two finger double tap gesture to undo still works. I suggest that this undo gesture is disabled when not in edit mode.
