  1. I would like to be able to set the default option when importing to GoodNotes to be “Last Page” rather than “After” to prevent accidentally inserting large documents to the middle of other large documents.

  3. Is there any way to select a default folder instead of the root folder (I’m using Google Drive) to export a note in pdf (using iPad version) ?

    I always need to select subfolders after subfolders to put my file to the right place.

  4. Sometimes it is usefull to place a digital post-it and take some notes on it.
    If the post-it was placed over already existing text it is impossibile to remove it with the notes taken without affecting the text below.
    Having the possibility to select only text handwritten in a specif colour could be a solotion

  6. The selection tool and eraser should have options for selecting only the highlighter or pen. This would allow speakers to "reuse" pages for live lectures (for example, in a zoom conference or youtube recording).

  7. I would like to be able to add a boarder stroke on inserted photos so that will show up better on blank pages. Also the ability to change the size of the stroke, as in wider or slimmer.

  8. There are many PDF files whose page sizes are not A4 or A3-This kind of the standard size. This causes a problem when importing PDF, which is that the pages added to the document are not the same size as the PDF pages imported. Therefore, I think the imported document should be zoomed when it is displayed. For example, when the page is turned vertically, all the pages should be displayed in the same width, and the standard size of the page should be selected when exporting Pdf.

  9. Such as hyperlinks, or video. The idea is to allow the notebook to act as a scrapbook of sorts.

  12. Would like a button or similar feature when naming a notebook or folder. I create multiple notebooks weekly and like to have the date as apart of the name. Need a quick way to do it.

  13. I know there are tabs, but id like a way to open another document without having to leave my current note and go searching in the folders/search field directly. I feel it could save time.

  14. When a new folder is created the user has to manually tap the text field to fill in the title..... instead, have the cursor auto-populate to the text field so that the user does not go to type... realize the field is not auto-selected and then have to go back and select it.

    I love the App!

  15. When I write in GoodNotes, I prefer to use dark papers, while yellow pencil is suitable. But if I show notes to others, I need to change the background, and yellow handwriting will become too shallow.

  16. I like underlining a lot of my handwriting, and constantly toggling between handwriting and underlining really decreases my writing speed!

    Thank you very much!

  18. Presenting pdf slides on the iPad is important when screencasting lectures. Usually, animations are implemented by advancing pages seamlessly in the pdf file. Presenting such pdf slides is possible in full-screen presentation mode on an external screen using flip-book style page transitions. During screencasting, a flip-book style scroll mode on the iPad screen would allow the pdf animations (or any other prepared flip-book style animations) to appear correctly in the screencast.

    Alternatively, support screencasting directly using the options from presentation mode on the external screens, i.e., screencasting with audio what one would see on the external monitor.

  19. I have two devices. One at home for personal usage and one at work. I use different documents in each iPad and I’d like to be able to set different favorites docs in each.
