  1. It would be better to be able to edit the toolbar in zoom window. For example, adding more colors option or adding an eraser button etc.

  2. Quick duplicate: lasso/select object, tap, hold, drag, & release.
    Options for selected objects/elements: add ability to lock object(s) (to prevent erasing or moving) or group multiple objects together.

  4. I love GoodNotes, and it's been a lifesaver with returning to grad school. I use it for all of my reading, which is all digitised this term, but as someone with a reading disorder, I would love if there was a way to turn on an accessible reading ruler, ideally with an adjustable size and colour overlay.

  5. Please allow us to create nested outlines with Collapsable headings and sub headings for better navigation inside the book. Its is very much needed for larger books.

    You allow to create outline but only a simple outline, this makes navigation through the pdf a lot tougher. It would be much better if you allow to create nested outlines so that we can differentiate between major topics and subheadings. Thank you very much.

  6. So far so good!
    I’d like to see a new layout implemented. I’m sure most users use Outlines to organize their notebooks so it’d make perfect sense to have a fast way to access the outline of the notebook without having to press on the four Rectangle button and then click on Outline (when being in thumbnails or favorites).
    So my recommendation is to have a button to directly show the notebook outline, since I’m working a lot with lectures slides and I have one notebook for each course. The placement of the button could be near the title on…

  7. It would be great if you could add an extension for google chrome where by you can 'send' something to your GoodNotes ios app.

    For example.

    In am currently researching for a large essay. I use chrome on my PC and GoodNotes on my iPad Pro. I would LOVE to be able to look at a PDF, or a section of website and 'import' this into goodnotes in the same way you can do if using chrome on the iPad.

    Currently, i have to find something i like, then 'send' it to chrome on the iPad, then open chrome on…

  8. Currently, a Fillable Form is rendered inactive when uploaded to GoodNotes 5. Handwriting is still functional, but none of the Form Fields are. It would be excellent if we could fill out a form, and then make notes on the side. The Form should then be exportable, with all notes, and completed Form Fields.

  9. I would like more customization options for the toolbar. For example, instead of having only three colors shown for the pen and then having to change those three colors, give the option to have more colors present at any given time. Same for highlighters. Another option would be to be able to have preset pens and highlighters present at all times.

  10. To use GoodNotes in a company environment and to process confidential data, encryption of all data transfers is a must-have.

    Use a standard strong crypto implementation to encrypt all data send via internet to BackUp or sync servers.

    For me it is OK to enter the (strong) password on each device every time or to store it locally on the device. But the data on the external servers should be fully encrypted.

    The system should be well documented and certified by external IT security experts.

  12. 1 even when images are created at exactly the same resolution (as the PDF it is placed in) you still have to resize the image on import. I would like to have the option to place the image at the original size, instead of having to size it up. #2 resizing is a pain in the butt if you are trying to get absolute perfection. With the new drag and drop feature, if you hold too long on a corner, the entire image want you to drag and drop it somewhere and you have to start the resize over again.

  14. I have a simple idea to provide to pen icons above because during the lecture while changing color of writing pen takes some time . Having 2 pens we dont need to open color menu again and again to select the color. We can do it just by tapping

  16. 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.

  18. The ability to select the number of flashcards to be shown during a session, that way you can slowly increase the number of cards you study each time. For example, I can choose to study 5, 10, or 20 cards out of 40 flashcards. Then once those are learned, I can add more by increasing the amount of cards.

  20. Would be great if the textbox function did more to convert the page to a full word processing document rather than being restricted to the paramaters of a word doc. This would mean automatically going to the next line when typing, font/formatting automatically adjusting to the page template (i.e. actually typing in the lines when I'm using lined paper instead of me having to resize the box and font to try to get them aligned), adding strikethrough and other functionality, etc. Especially for goodnotes desktop! This would completely eliminate onenote for me if I could markup pdfs and take handwritten…
