  1. This feature would add automatic page numbering to documents. This feature will be enabled in the document settings and and exporting the document in any kind of way would keep the page numbers, unless disabled in export options. Everyone I ask is annoyed, that something like this doesn't exist, so adding this feature might actually increase ratings. I hope you add this feature because I really need it. Thanks in advance!

    Edit: The user should be able select where the page numbering should start (For Example: The page numbered first can actually be the third page)

  2. I'm aware I can resize/rotate my handwriting already, but, it doesn't have an option not to keep the aspect ratio. Sometimes I want to squish my handwriting a little to make it thinner inside a box.

    This option I've only seen it with Elements, but even then it's a Click/DeSelect/Hold/Click again and THEN editing. It's clunky. I think this also needs to be streamlined if added for handwriting. Not a fan of Rotate/Resize being the same handle either. It makes me make a selection bigger or smaller when trying to rotate.

  4. Hi! So it would be really nice if there was a sign in/log ing option. This way, every user could sign in a device and have all the documents there without the need of exporting the data. This doesn't mean to delete the sync option with other apps like Google Drive or OneNote, but it would be nice. For example, if you buy a new iPad, you wouldn't have to export de data from the GoodNotes app from your old iPad to the new one, you should only sign in in your new iPad and all your documents would be…

  7. Detatch the color palette for markers and pens so you can change colors quickly and move wherever you want. The palette could be moved freely and displayed vertically or horizontally. The background could be translucent but the colors in the palette could be shown correctly (rn Night mode shows highlighters colors in a weird way)

  8. I like add a picture into the note and writing on the picture. But after updating, the picture always move by my hand! It is terrible! At least, this feature should be turned on or off at our discretion.

  10. Whenever I type and sometimes my hand rests on the ipad screen, the popup appears and it is really very frustrating. I have taken the one time subscription but still goodnote fails to provide the service.

  12. Colouring Pages , More options for the Pens.

    GN5 latest version is FAB, but these are the major changes i am looking into. I have been using since an year and recommended to all my friends , and most of them purchased it. It's an easy going app.

    1. Colouring Pages with whichever colour we want from the colours - like we do for the pens
      Usage: Different coloured page books for different works , for precise work and few notes need to be written in particular colour . Yellow Pages & Red Pen is one of the oldest and sacred…

  15. While editing a document scrolling is possible only with fingers but doing so smudges the screen. Scrolling should be possible without hiding toolbar.
    To write or edit: select a tool.
    To scroll: tap on last used tool thereby disabling it.

    For reference: try annotation feature of One drive on iPad.

  17. you already know this but seem to ignore the community, can’t react to the community or both. TEXT, TEXT, TEXT. FIX IT. you know what it needs. It’s well documented by the community.
    Start with spacing and usability of the text box. On an iPad. With an Apple Pencil. The primary use case scenario.
