  1. When using Apple Pencil in OCR mode, the pencil menu offers return, keyboard. A delete key rather than undo (or both) would save having to open the keyboard and then close it again. A great app thank you.

  2. I want to be able to use the scroll indicator on the right of the page to quickly scroll through the document, rather than using the galley feature.

  4. Enable File Storage without iCloud backup - My daughter is halfway through her sophomore year in college and loves (we all do) good notes. Her first years data is taking up several mega bytes of data (almost 32) which is all the memory she has on her iPad. As she continues we will obviously have to buy a new iPad and storage but would be great to be able to save that first years data to an offline file for use down the road to refer to and or share with friends. Good notes rocks, please add that feature!

  5. I often use enlarging tool for specific area. However, when I use this, blue area always emerges in the left side and it is really useless.

    I want the toggle function to the enlargement tool for GoodNotes.

  6. I really love Goodnotes, it‘s an awesome app I use everyday in my school-live. But please add settings, that allow the user to customize the color theme. So that the bar on the top and also selection-tools are in a color the user prefers. Also a setting to set the position of the tools to the left or the right side of the app. Lastly please add support for I-Work and MOffice so the user is able to create, edit and document those documents. Thanks a lot.

  7. Entendo que seria muito interessante que o Goodnotes, assim como outros leitores de pdf como Xodo, Noteshelf, Microsoft Edge etc, fizesse a sincronização automática dos arquivos retirados do Google Drive. Atualmente, a única coisa que o Goodnotes faz é enviar o arquivo modificado para uma pasta separada dentro do Google Drive. Seria interessante que o arquivo retirado do Google Drive, depois de alterado pelo Goodnotes, retornasse para a mesma pasta de origem do Google Drive.

  8. For example, I have a paragraph converted from handwriting to text, but I only want to move a few of the words, it would be nice if the lasso tool could move only the selected text.

    Now the lasso tool if the text is converted together, when using the lasso, move a few of the words, it will move the whole paragraph together, (because the text converted together, the app will think in the same text box)

  9. Hello there!
    I wanna ask you to change the word "move to trash" to something like "delete" or something like that, I don't like the fact that you say about some notes "trash".
    As you can know sometimes we delete a valuable note just because it is duplicated or some other reason not because it is a trash

  10. Sharing a notebook is very convenient. What I would also like to see is the possibility to write-protect the shared notebook. I work at a school and share my notes with the students by exporting them as PDFs and uploading them to our learning management system. I have to do this over and over again after each new lesson. It would be easier for me to share the Goodnotes notebook directly as a link (all students use GoodNotes on the iPad) without students having the ability to change anything in my document/notebook.

  11. When rotating a page in a PDF document, the width of the single pages varies from the upright to the horizontal ones. This causes vertical scrolling to also scroll left or right sometimes. Double-tapping to zoom also doesn't feel as natural anymore.
    I'd like to have an option to display all pages in the same width which would solve both problems.

  12. Text written on a sticky note should move with the sticky note and resize when the sticky note is resized.

  13. I use different colours/pen sizes for different documents. Would be great to be able to create a stationery set or 'profile' to easily switch instead of having to manually change my things every time.

  14. it’s a great function especially when you are running out Of space on ur page.
    I have a suggestion, here we are typing to add notes. Wouldn’t it be nice if we were just allowed to write on the black dialog box that opens up, straight with our apple pencils? As most of us will be using our Apple Pencil to take notes.

  15. Redesign the zoom space and add a toolbar in it (red) & add an option to choose more than 3 colours in the top bar (green)
    Maybe an option to allow a selection of colours for each document (6 colours for one, 6 colours for other, etc) because sometimes when you use documents with another colour palette you must change the top colours many times :c

  18. Sometimes when users want to open a new document. They have to tap return multiple times to all folders if they have more folders inside folders for classification, and finally they can open the document they want. This severely decrease productivity and annoy users.

    To make tab logic easier to understand, one tap for the “+” button can open a new tab for all documents and open the document they want faster.

    Also for the text tool, we hope that users can set three default style for better visual hierarchy in text notes.

  19. All the things at one place - in GoodNotes

    Please add support to as much formats as you can. Even links with just preview would be awesome. I don’t want to have some type of stuff in files and other in GoodNotes. I all the time struggle to find what I have and where.

  20. Please add the function: so that the highlighter can be kept straight, instead of being held for a few seconds and turning into a straight line. This would increase the speed of working, which is often very annoying when it turns into a curve...
    please apply it
