  2. I would like to see a feature that allows me to click on an Internal Link of a pdf document, and shows its result (which views a specific portion of a specific page on the same document) on the other Window of Split View (not the same opened one!).

    It is so useful for reviewing Notes and Textbooks that contain internal hyperlinks without having to go back to the original page each time after view the hyperlink result (page view)

  3. When batch importing images / files (via icloud) they are placed in random page order and need to be manually sorted.

    Example. I photograph my hand drawn Moleskine note books into Goodnotes as a reference and archive. BUT, the images in Icloud are all in a numbered order, but they are randomly imported in Goodnotes and I need to spend a considerable time putting them in order.

  4. Sometimes I want to jot notes , but there isn’t enough space , however I don’t want to add new page but just write next to the words. Is it possible to add memo ( like the add comment feature) , so when I click the little memo icon , it will expend into large memo . Or just to add space between lines. Thank you .

  5. When importing a PDF of slides (say of class notes, or a presentation) it would have an option to put three slides per page with lines on the side or bottom for taking notes.

  8. Be able to write and view a note in dark mode however automatically invert to white paper and black/ darker coloured text when exporting to a pdf, sharing the document or printing. Onenote already does this and it is very useful.

  10. Paging Transition WITHOUT any effect (like one can with PowerPoint or Adobe Acrobat).
    I use GoodNotes in virtual meetings as well in presence ones. The page transition animation are ‘nice at first’ but always distracting, specially in cases of two or more pages that are identical except a few visual clues (like an added box to call attention to a detail)… in those cases a clean, seemless transition, is a MUST.
    I saw many other suggestions of the kind here, all SHUTDOWN by some ‘moderator’ as being a non issue that you can set the presentation mode to always full

  13. Being able to share and download actual sticker packs or “elements” on the community section. Right now all the stickers are just a note with the stickers on it and you have to screenshot and crop all the “freebie” stickers.

  15. Workflow now as a Student:
    1. Getting a bunch of pdf from the lecturer
    2. Using a Cloud service (my case dropbox), I organize the whole semester with the files I need
    3. When needed importing a pdf to goodnotes, modifying it, and eventually exporting it, but not handy since the files get updated continuously from time to time.

    The Problem: The files are in two different locations, to access the updated file you have to open GoodNotes, or navigate OUTSIDE of your working directory.

    Workflow desired as a Student:
    1. Getting a bunch of pdf from the lecturer
    2.…

  16. I am using a black page on the black background.
    For a longer battery time, I usually set my screen less brightly, but it is difficult to distinguish the border of each page.
    So, my suggestion is to provide white edges as a border of every black page so that users can easily perceive when a page starts or ends.

  17. When using a digital planner one is often switching between writing and navigating. Each switch requires one tap the button in the upper left.
    I am right handed, it would be nice if there was an area on the screen that I could hold with my left hand that would activate the link following options so I could navigate the planner and then when I lift my finger I can write again. For a lefty this would/could be on the right side of the screen.

    For example, it is the weekend, I am reviewing previous week(s) and planning the upcoming…

  19. I am using a planner that has the entire square of a day in a calendar hyperlinked… so if I’m trying to tap and hold to edit a sticker, etc. it only lets me open the link. I’d like the option to disable that feature…or at least append the image edit, crop, etc menu to the “open link” menu that is displayed….
    This is also an issue for tapping and holding to paste… Thank you!

  20. I use a lot of x-callback links, like a link to a DEVONthink document. The new linking feature assumes that it’s an HTTP link, and therefore puts in the HTTP in front of it, which doesn’t work for the x-callback types of links.
