  1. When rotating a page in a PDF document, the width of the single pages varies from the upright to the horizontal ones. This causes vertical scrolling to also scroll left or right sometimes. Double-tapping to zoom also doesn't feel as natural anymore.
    I'd like to have an option to display all pages in the same width. That would solve both problems.

  2. When I read, the large amount of text on the page made it inconvenient for me to add annotations and notes, especially when I needed to quote passages from other works and had no space. Adding blank pages at the bottom of the page makes turning pages difficult and text cannot be joined.
    If a new feature could be added to add blank pages to the left and right of the page, capped at two pages, that would work even better and I would not want to use another notes app.

  3. Much like words or google docs, when you select text type to Heading 1,2,3. Outlines will automatically add the Heading to Outline page(like in the picture).

    This would be version useful and saves times when taking notes. still keep the "Add to Outline" button.

  5. While there is a button named "define" on the right click list, it is not working or popping anything up. I'm wondering if anyone is facing the same problem.

  6. Create a way for a written note to become an Asana task. This feature would improve our efficiency greatly.

  7. I use a standard folder format in Goodnotes. I have to create this every time. I would like to see the feature added to a complete folder, including child supmaps and any documents in these folders.

  8. The Eraser Tool is used to erase only pen & highlighter strokes. There should be a separate option for allowing us to erase PDFs or slides when importing something like lecture notes that may have some unnecessary notes or writing.

  9. Physics major here, I'm finding it incredibly difficult to graph functions using the current curve option. It would be much easier to have an option that makes graphing all sorts of functions easier. So far, the only app that comes close is Colla notes, but I'd prefer to use good notes.

  11. When you click duplicate you can only duplicate the page once and then you have to click it again and do it again if you want to make multiple duplications of the same page. I think it would be better if when you click duplicate there is an option to enter how many duplicate pages you would like to make. This would really come in handy for planners where you duplicate monthly and weekly pages a lot.

  12. It would be great to have a feature that allows users to have manual control over which documents are to be downloaded onto the device and which are to remain in the iCloud (assuming that iCloud Sync is already enabled), just like some cloud storage services like OneDrive. For users in the possession of multiple gigabytes of documents or some storage-intensive documents like numerous scanned PDFs, an on-demand downloading feature would be a great help to save disk space on their devices.

  13. I hope when I switch to the other pages, the state of the pencil of my previous page is changeless. For example, the color of the pencil of my previous page is red. When I use other pages, I change the color of the pencil as blue. I hope when I switch to my previous page, the color of the pencil is still red instead of blue. Others tools like eraser and highlight are in way.Thank you!

  14. Add an option to show starred folders at the top.
    Use case: I have a folder for every class at university in the root folder and star classes that I attend at the current semester.
    Having a single sub-folder for every semester is not an option for me, because some classes span multiple semesters and often I need quick access to old classes and dont want to click every sub-folder to search for the correct folder.

  15. When selecting text in "read mode", the options that pop-up are "highlight" "strikeout" "define" "speak" "copy" "add comment".

    It would be great if there was an option for "highlight and copy", so I don't have to select the text twice.

  16. An setting u can turn on so that if u start writing something a TEMPORARY straight line appears underneath your text that u can then write on. That way even if u are writing on blank paper (for example powerpoint slides), you can still write in a straight line. When u stop writing the line disappears (after approximately 5 seconds so you can lift your pencil up for a space between words in one sentence)

    This would be a very small but truly amazing feature!

  17. When you you have a note open, clicking on its name disclosure arrow reveals where it is in the folder hierarchy. It would be great if one could click on one of those folders, and go there (just as one does in OS X). It would save a lot step-by-step navigation, particularly if all you want to do is (also) open another note in the same folder.

  18. When I draw a square with the highlighting tool and hold down on it to let it lock and create perfectly straight lines, i‘d like to see the option to turn on „fill the square“ as with the geometric tool or the pencil :)

  19. Make the pen sizes a lot larger so we can fill something in faster or draw larger text epically for note book covers, titles, etc.
