  1. Favorites or outlines per device

    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.

  2. "Sort by date"

    It would be nice to be able to get the possibility to sort the documents by date by default and not only get the documents organized by name when you star the app.

  6. Drag and Drop notes as images on Mac

    The current drag & drop feature copies notes as a PDF file. (http://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/19716046-export-individual-pages-using-drag-and-drop-mac-a)
    However, It's sometimes desirable (and easier to view) if I copy them as images (to email app, iMessage, other note-taking app like Bear, etc.). I wish there is an option to select images over PDF.

  7. Make typing on GoodNotes neater

    Currently, when I use the text feature with a ruled background, the texts will overlap the lines of the background. It will be perfect if we can adjust the spacing such that the text can fit perfectly between the space.

    I would like to add if possible that the shape tool can be enhanced to recognise the shapes better. Occasionally the shape tool will correct my input into a warped shape.

  8. Change from folder view to document view without open another document’

    Need a way to navigate from folder view to document view without open a new document and close it later every time. A must for academic research and writing.

  9. Speed reader

    It would be awesome to have a RSVP reader that allowed selecting sections of text to speed-read! For example like https://www.spritz.com/

  13. Remember last style (brush, size, color) when opening a document.

    I use different brush, color and size in different documents. When opening a document, I spend time resetting my style.

    Also (or alternatively) allow saving presets (combo box with up to 3 or 10 presets).

  14. exporting without background

    Could Goodnotes 5 allow export to PDF or image without the template background? Whenever I select export without background, it remove all my inserted or imported picture/pdf.

    I would like to export without template background for printing, because it is waste of ink.

    Also, can we export selected pages too ?
    Can Goodnotes auto convert the light colour ink in dark mode to dark ink when exporting without background? (like Notes App in iOS13)

  15. Switch black and white text for exporting

    Add a way to swap white text with black text when exporting a dark background notebook. That way it can be printed.

  17. Fix the lasso-disappearing text-bug

    Sometimes when I lasso some text and then deselect, I
    ALL THE SELECTED TEXT DISAPPEARS.

    undo/redo doesn't do anything. Sometimes the text reappears after a few minutes of writing, sometimes its just gone forever. Very frustrating, has been happing for a few months now.

  19. Rearranging file Order

    Please see attached:

    In this screen - it would be wonderful if you could rearrange the order of your files, just by dragging them. It would greatly improve workflow speed and file management.

    Many thanks,

  20. Freehand writing editing like Newton Messagepad

    I keep waiting for someone to replicate the Newton MessagePad. You’re getting there, but here are some things I would love you to add:
    - treat handwritten text more like a word processor treats type. I should be able to select streams of words just as I would in a word processor by dragging across the line or block with an i-bar pointer, and then cut, copy, delete. And do wrapping like a word processor too.
    - Have the option for having those blocks of handwritten text in a basic outliner, with drag and drop of points, indenting and outdenting,…
