  1. I would like to be able to create and edit the outline section, and make it exportable into a PDF document, too!
    That would give me a table of contents at hand which would make it a breeze to navigate around chapters of my documents.

  2. When you zoom in/out the borders snap to the edges of the ipad.

    It can feel especially cramped when i'm trying to write at the top left of the page or when i'm nearing the bottom of the paper.

  4. Have the option to enable/disable guidelines (lines and/or gridlines), while I'm writing on a template, that way I can write on a "straight line" in a blank template for example.

  6. Show the GoodNotes Files in the new iOS Files App as a pdf-Version to share and edit them easily with Apps like PDF-Expert.
    A two-way sync would be also nice to edit files on any devices from the Cloud and have them automatically updated in GoodNotes

  7. I typically need to work on the same document in multiple devices. For example, i may annotate a pdf at home using my iPad but at work I may need to read the annotated pdf in my laptop. Would be great to have full synch using iCloud Dropbox or similar services

  8. data security is a major concern for companies. good notes should be able to be used within a secure containerdefined by an mdm , to only allow storage of notes in well defined data storages.

  9. Please provide the option to pinch out to the page library from within a specific page. Example: When on page 5 of a 30 page document, the user pinches inward to shrink the page to a thumbnail whereby the user can quickly scroll down to page 30 and select to directly open that page.

  10. I love the app! It's the best Notes app ever. I would like to have a stamp function. For example with a logo and a signature, which you can insert and design yourself. I complete a lot of pdf's sent out and must sign this and stamp. As a stamp, I always add a picture of the additional function. Goes, would be with the function however much easier.

  11. Currently, a keyword search only works within a handwritten note. However, across notebooks, this feature is not available. It would be good if this is integrated into Spotlight Search so that handwritten notes can be retrieved by searching via Spotlight.

  12. When using Apple Pencil, a terrific combination with GoodNotes and the iPad Pro, there is no difference between the Ball Pen style and the Fountain Pen style. As a result, the beautiful look of handwritten ink with the Fountain Pen style is unavailable, a severe tradeoff for the added precision of the Apple Pencil. Please enable the Fountain Pen style with Apple Pencil. Thanks!

  15. I’d like a paper template that uses the solid & dashed lines for handwriting practice. Many of us are new to writing on a tablet, and GoodNotes is sophisticated enough for practice to matter. I’m talking about paper lined like this:

    https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=handwriting+paper&safe=strict&client=firefox-b&dcr=0&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi7iJezksvWAhXqA8AKHSCDDYMQ_AUIESgB&biw=1366&bih=920#imgrc=m3s_HIkERhVqdM:

    Thank you.

  17. The printed page has no margin for binding.
    Please add margins. Best, mirror margins for front/back print

    Printing, two GoodNotes pages fit well in one A-size or A4-size sheet.
    Please include the option of margins for this, with front/back option
    (4 GoodNotes pages in a front/back physical sheet)

  18. Ich nutze Goodnotes viel im Mathematikunterricht für Tafelanschriebe usw. Ich finde das Programm super, vor allem der Präsentationsmodus ist genial.
    Was mir noch fehlt sind Zeichengeräte (Lineal, Geodreieck -> so ähnlich wie in der Notizen App von Apple), damit könnte ich Goodnotes noch viel umfassender nutzen...

  19. If we could have two documents open at the same time within GoodNotes and then use drag and drop for moving, text, ink, etc...

    By split view I mean it needs to be like you get splitview on Safari on the iPad.

  20. It looks like you are getting a lot of requests that fall into this category. I write small. The zoom window is magnified just too much for me, so even though my writing looks much better if I use this function it is tiny in the document. Writing in huge big strokes in the zoom window means it takes me longer to write. If I could reduce the zoom window height by 20%, this would help a ton.
