  3. Side bar accessing to the file.

    Hello, Can you add this goodnotes 4 function into goodnotes 5? I think it is faster than tapping on each folder to open them since I have so many subfolders. May be you could make it an optional function.
    Best regard.

  4. Email to GoodNotes

    I used "Email to GoodNotes". It is a good feature but the mail address is hard to remember so I tried to forward any email that I send from my email to my email in Gmail with title "GoodNotes" but google told me that I must enter "Confirmation code" that they sent to my email in GoodNotes.

    There is no way to see the "Confirmation code" now, so I cannot activate this feature.

    To solve this problem, I suggest one of these ideas:
    1- Convert any message to PDF
    2- Resend any message to my email

  6. Disable to show up keyboard automatically right after copy&paste texts.

    When trying to copy$paste texts from something like a webpage to goodnotes, I don’t want keyboard to show up soon because I can’t change the width or the location of pasted texts because it is sometimes hidden by the keyboard.

    I also wonder why I can't change the height of the textbox and also can't delete a whole textbox. Are these things possible on goodnotes 5?

  8. HotShare (default share) per document. (One click share ...)

    I am a physician. I use GoodNotes (for iPad) to send requisitions to my secretary, as well as radiology and laboratories.

    If I am writing a prescription for a radiology test that I will always send to the same radiology clinic, it makes sense that I can define a default recipient for that particular form.

    It would simplify the workflow, just fill out the form and hit HotShare (you are free to use the term .... no copyrights on that .... (<end joke>).

    As it stands I have to fill the form, hit print, select print all pages, then pinch-zoom…

  9. colors dont reset with updates

    hello it would be great if the new colors added by a user do not reset with each update, because it is very tedious to go and enter all the new colors again.

  12. Display bookmark icon when switching pages with a keyboard

    This is not really a feature request, but rather a bug report. When switching pages in a document with the arrow keys on a keyboard, the bookmark icon does not change. It always remains on the state of the first, with touch gestures selected, page.

  13. Documents as new tabs

    “Open documents as new tabs” option is a great tool but i would preferred that instead of all documents being open as new tabs only documents or notes or pages within a Currently open document would open as new tabs so you could toggle within that folder faster while looking at folders within folders. The way it is now it’s a bit cluttered and confusing because you get confused and don’t know where those tabs belong in just by looking at the titles if that makes any sense, thank you.

  16. Making your “ideal” handwriting by writing the alphabet in a settings option in your best handwriting, for organized note taking

    I would like to submit an idea that would greatly improve the organization and special features of the app for IPad users. I was thinking of an option in settings where you can write your “ideal” alphabet (you write each letter in your best handwriting) so that when you are writing your notes it identifies the letter/number and it automatically changes to that ideal handwriting. This can give ones notes and handwriting consistency and an atheistically neat and organized look

    My students are preparing for the AP Language and Composition exam from home now. Annotating texts and sources is critical to this. I can’t ask them to pay for the service but this app could save us all! Please help.

    so that we can use two options-one like prior goodnotes 4, less useing upper space, but little pen options made up of those we use oftern. The other the tool bar just like nowadays.

    The bug I think is abut device storage. When I write on my document(automatic backup in ondrive on, no icloud) and check available ipad storage in file app, from 300MB to 1 GB of available storage decreases and this storage does not return. The size of the document is 8MB. This happens only after using goodnotes in my device.(I haven't checked in other devices yet) This…
