  2. Restart app with all notebooks that were open before closing app

    It would be so helpful if the app could open with all the notebooks I had open before I accidentally closed the app like Safari will reopen with all the tabs I had open. I work on several notebooks open at a time with work projects for different clients and the times I've closed out of the app entirely...they are not open when I restart the app.

  7. Proved a scale tool for measurements

    I work in engineering and am always using an engineer's scale or architects scale. I use goodnotes primarily to keep all of my project plans organized in one location. I would be helpful to have a scale tool that would allow me to measure the plans according to the scale provided on the plans.

  8. Use one finger as eraser when Apple Pencil is connected

    Customize your use of finger touch and use of pen.

    I'm using Apple pencil and I want to use my finger as a eraser.
    So that I don't have to change my pen to eraser mode and go back to pen mode....
    It will be great if I can customize them by myself !

  13. Integration into e-textbook apps like Kindle to allow notetaking

    Most textbooks today are available electronically, but the MAJOR shortfall is the inability to easily annotate or take notes on them, specifically handwritten ones. Most readers are using not desktops/laptops, but tablets and phones with touch displays. Research shows better learning retention with handwritten over typed notes. If Goodnotes could truly allow this handwritten annotation function somehow, especially in Kindle app which we ALL have and use. Either a way to drag a Kindle book into the Goodnotes app, or an app extension for Kindle. Besides, what a better company to partner with like Amazon. Both companies would win as…

  14. create user accounts that store our notes/files online instead of relying on iCloud to sync.

    I think it would be much easier to sync notebooks across devices if there were user accounts and you just login to the app. That way you could access your files from any computer, tablet, phone, etc, just by logging in.

    Files would be stored online through good notes, instead of relying on iCloud syncing or google backups, since i am finding that the iCloud syncing is not reliable.

    This would be similar to how you can log into your Google Drive account from any device and see access to all your files if you have an internet connection.

    There…

  15. Unlock Constraints

    I'd like to resize images to fit another space on my page but I can't make it look nice because I can only resize proportionately. Let us unlock constraints so if I want something long and skinny or short and fat ect I can. I hate the resizing being locked.

  18. Set a Funktion like ms Exel and Improve the geometry function/ Tabellen Kalkulation möglich machen und Geometrie Funktion verbessern

    It would be great if we could make a table/chart... just the Form Not all these calculating thing

    Es wäre toll wenn man eine Tabelle machen könnte... nur die Form nicht die Kalkulationsfunktionen. (Das wäre 2.-Rangig)

    For the geometry function would it be nice if we can draw halve circles or bows or something like a sinus-function.

    Für die Geometrie Funktion wäre es toll wenn man halbe Kreise, Bögen oder etwas ähnliches wie eine Sinusfunktion zeichnen könnte.

  19. Problem: The ballpoint and fountain pens look the same.

    Is there a problem with fountain pen mode? It doesn't look like a fountain pen. It looks like a ball point pen.

    Please improve the look of the fountain pen mode. Make it look like the fountain pen in the Noteshelf app. That one looks absolutely beautiful.

  20. Add a shortcut to switch between tools!

    I'd like it to be easier to switch between the eraser and my custom pen setting while writing. A two finger tap or holding down a finger to erase would be awesome.
    I use an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil for GoodNotes.
