  1. Encrypted notebooks

    Please allow for an opt-in to have the notebooks encrypted especially when clouded. This allows for more work related notes to follow good business conduct and will encourage more business support and adoption of your product.

  3. European cloud services

    Please add the possibility to synchronize the documents also with other clouds. In Europe we are forced to store our data on European Servers. So please add some European cloud services. My personal wish would be the MagentaCloud from Deutsche Telekom.
    Another nice Feature would be the synchronisation with private cloud services, e.g. the clouds of the universities.

  4. Multiple photo import

    It would be great if I could import more than one photo at a time because it would save sooo much time.

  5. Other sync options (Dropbox, Google, Box, etc..)

    Other sync options (Dropbox, Google, Box, etc..) I have iCloud blocked by a policy installed so I can access my job email in the iPhone. This has completely restricted the sync option for me .. seems like a very good idea to give alternate syncing options for probably even more reasons than just this one that happened to me.

  6. Black paper background so it is easier on the eyes.

    Black paper background would be easier to distinguish lighter colors vs the current options of white and yellow(?).

  7. add ability to embed and use spreadsheets

    add the ability to embed a spreadsheet (or word document) and use it as a true spreadsheet - be able to access drop down lists and conditional formatting, etc. This would put me over the moon since this is already an amazing app.

  8. to introduce continuous scrolling for writing

    If you reach the end of the paper it is uncomfortable to write. Instead of creating a new page by switching to the next side, you can offer the possibility for continuous scrolling downwards.

  10. Actual paper size view, view at 100% zoom

    Strongly request a way to set the paper size to 100% zoom so that I know how big that my handwriting will be when I actually print it out.

  12. Shape correction

    It would be nice if there were an option to autocorrect shapes. If I really want a diamond (decision) shape, but didn't draw a perfect shape, it'd be nice if there were a way for me to indicate I want autocorrection to adjust the angles so it's perfect. Same goes for circles, squares and rectangles (right angle correction). An example of this concept is how Paper does this, though my preference is to use GoodNotes. :)

  14. Add a search tool to the main toolbar

    I wish the Search function were on the main toolbar! Having it buried 2 or 3 clicks deep in the '(Other) Options' menu, I often forget about it! It's such a great tool, that I think I would use it much more frequently if it was a single touch away!

  15. Point to point line drawing mode

    I would like to be able to draw a series of precise, connected, straight lines segments by tapping a start point then having each subsequent tap define the end point of the next segment.

    It would also be nice to have an option to make the end points snap to a grid.

  16. Lock page position and page zoom for entire notebook

    I really like the ability to lock a page position and zoom when using Goodnotes as an electronic whiteboard for lecturing. However, a rather annoying trait is that the screen lock turns off every time the page advances.

    It would be nice to have an option to "lock all pages".

  17. Insert PDF page into note paper "Not only as separate page"

    If I create new note and I want to insert PDF page into that note I'm working on, this function is not available. The only way is to add the PDF page to your notebook as a separate page.

    Sometimes, we need to create notes and support that notes with a PDF document.

  18. Selective iCloud Sync

    I would like to choose which notebooks / documents get synced through iCloud. I have plenty of documents on my iPad that I don't want to have on my iPhone. Things like PDF manuals or PDF presentations that I just can't use on the smaller iPhone screen.

  19. While using pencil finger acts as eraser

    Since the iPad Pro differentiates between pencil and finger interaction why not while using the pencil allow the finger to erase. This would be very efficient for the users.

  20. Add link functionality

    Add the option to hyperlink from the cut tool options. Basically anything I circle I can assign a link to take me to the associated content.
