  1. First , I chooses GoodNotes but when i when I know the two things about Noteshelf is that-
    1) we can recor d and also import voice record from file and also we can manage on page where we need .
    2) and also individual file lock
    Really this attract me and I switched on Noteshelf..

    If GoodNotes also add this feature in his app then it will be great.

    Please review this feature, I also attached this in comments
    Please find it

  3. Since you are able to select multiple pngs to move at once, it seems logical that you should be able to resize multiple PNGs at once. Similarly, being able to drag multiple PNG files into a goodnotes notebook at once would be amazing ( I heard this was previously a feature that went away).

  4. I use the app to teach mathematics and computer science lectures to college students in online mode. One very important feature that is missing at present is that students have to use their attention to determine WHERE on the slide or notebook I am presently writing (i.e. they need to determine where new writing is showing up). Whereas, in a physical classroom, it's easy to see where the professor is and where in the blackboard he/she is writing or modifying a diagram. It would be nice if one could have a big red arrow show up wherever I am writing…

  6. It would be very useful to insert a function that, after selecting an equation written by hand with the pen, using the lazo tool, recognizes this and calculates it automatically.

  7. To view 2 pages from the same document within the same document. I know you can currently use side by side mode however this is not the same thing and is not always very easy. Just like how adobe acrobat can view I on 2 pages at once.

  9. I've been using GoodNotes 5 since it had been launched. I found that my handwriting was not as good as in Notability. The ink in GoodNotes 5 seems to lag. I feel like it tries to bend my stroke all the time and I'm quite annoying this. I've tried to set the pressure sensitivity to low, medium and high, however, it stills bending everytime. So I have to write slower in order to make a beautiful handwriting and sometimes it wastes a lot of time!

    Ps. I've used GoodNotes 4 before too. The GoodNotes 4 doesn't have this problem.

  10. Have the ability to zoom and have a part of the screen be the outside of the document, so that you could rest your hand, whilst editing the edge of the document.

    E. g. the second screenshot is from a table I was filling out and when I got to the rightmost column I couldn't write in it as easily as in the other ones. I am right-handed, so in those screenshots the area is on the right side of the page, but this should work for left-handed people as well, if the area was on the left-hand side of…

  11. Please fix “keyboard shorcuts” while in text mode. Goodnotes for some weird reason only makes you select a letter to switch between tools instead of “ command and the letter. So when trying to type on a external keyboard i cant type a P,E,H,S,L,I,C,or T with out it completely switching tools and existing out of typing mode. I feel like this is pretty big oversite and is unfortunately the only reason i have to us notability over good notes when typing at times. I can understand if this is a mac feature but as far as an ipad goes its…

  12. Track changes: allow users to see changes that they've made to their notes document so that they can restore to previous versions if necessary
    View previous versions: allow users to see any previous saved versions of their document and allow them to restore to a version if necessary.

  13. One feature I'm missing is that you can insert guides or a grid into an existing document (in my case the lecture notes). That way you could take notes neatly and straight and when you're done just hide the guides again. That would be great!

  14. Layers/shapes/form background/PASSWORD PROTECTION.

    I could go on, buy GN 5 is still quite awesome. Just add the password protection and be done with that silliness already!

    Oh, and sync with iCal / add alarm features for the TO DO list please!

  15. One thing I would love to see is a possibility for inserted images to easily go to crop mode without going to the menu. Maybe a dedicated button could be added like the button for deleting the image and resizing it.

  18. Enable different search highlight colors. I tend to use orange highlighter (best for multiple layers for emphasis) and the search highlighter gets drowned out with it.
