  1. Capture hyperlinks

    Enable another level of capture, right now if you select part of the background contains hyperlinks you can only take a screenshot, would like to be able to do and capture the screen and hyperlinks, would allow cut and paste of hyperlinks, could make button bars that could be pasted in as needed, or elements with active links that could be pasted to a page as needed. Would let you overlay the captured pic/hyper links over items on another page.

  2. make the app available on other devices.

    I am getting a touchscreen Chromebook but since this app isn't available on the Chrome Web Store, I won't be able to use it. Having Goodnotes on my other devices would be extremely helpful because I take my laptop to school and use it for all of my assignments.

  3. Shapes and symbols library

  4. Allow to insert image from clipboard

    We are already able to copy an image to clipboard with the lasso tool.
    Would be great if we could insert that image later again.
    At the moment we need to safe it to photos and insert it from there, which can quickly mess up our photos.

  6. Hanwriting recognition like MyScript Nebo

    The combination of free style drawing like in GoddNotes4 and the way MyScript Nebo handles the handwriting recognition (inline) would be absolutly amazing. The organizing of notebooks, the template handling ... nearly perfect in GoodNotes, the hadwriting recognition of MyScript Nebo ... excellent. And now, please, combine it.

    Thank you!

  7. Page number not starting with cover

    Do not start page numbering with the cover. Just like a book the number should start after the cover. Ideally I’d like the option of selecting where it starts, that way I can add my own TOC (journal summary) and not number the TOC page(s).

  8. Adding more pen/brush/colouring tools

    It would be really beneficial to add another pen tool along the banner (alongside the pen and highlighter tool) which allows a much larger pen size design for colouring in, allowing for ease in drawing diagrams etc. Currently, the pen tool does not go large enough and the highlighter tool overlaps the colour making a block colour difficult to achieve. Additionally, rather than just giving you a circle as the pen stamp, squares or lines could be added as brushes.

  11. Is there a way to import all my iOS notes to GoodNotes at once, batch process?

    I will be more likely to use GoodNotes if I can import my IOS notes all at once, (I would not take the time to copy and paste one by one, it would take too long). Is there any way to do this?

  15. Different "preset" shapes and define "custom" shapes

    We should be able to add shapes from a predefined set of shapes from the developers. Plus we should be able to save our own custom shapes like for eg a rectangle with different length and breadth or a elliptical shapes etc

    In PDFs, normally I highlight the most important information, and at the end I want to see in a list, all the sentences that were highlighted.
