  1. I'm an engineering student who uses Goodnotes for his note taking in class. The thing I miss the most in Goodnotes is plotting non linear functions such as exponentials and sinusoids.
    I think it will be very helpful for all the students out there who use this fantastic app in class

  2. It would be nice if I could set the pen to not be erasable. Sometimes, I do not notice that I am in eraser mode (with a big size), then I accidentally erase my notes.

  3. I do sketching technical detail works on a black page canvas templates and usually I have to bring up a gradation colour set of white to grey.

    However when Im going back to another Notebook that is a white page I need to use black colours.

    It would be nice if we can first of all we had an option to switch between a customised colours of our own made set of 3s

    For e.g. I would have White, grey and Dark grey
    and Ill be able to hit a switch icon and it will cycle through to another made…

  4. In the app, there are two different menu points where you can change the option whether you want to fill in the shapes or not. But if I change it at the pen menu, the same change occurs at the shapes menu.
    But it would be cool to be able to draw not filled in shapes when the pen is selected an to be able to draw filled in shapes when you select the shapes menu. So that the two buttons are not connected together.

  5. Since the last update, if you want to copy or cut some text out and past it somewhere else, you first need to hold long onto the text, and then you need to switch to the menu to the right. Before the update you didn't need to switch to the right, this was better and faster.
    Maybe this is because me tablet language is in german and not English

  8. I would love to have the option to have a "magnetic grid" used in combination with a geometric form tool to draw some lines that start exactly at the corners of the grid.

  10. There are only three colors to choose from in GoodNotes 5. This makes it hard to color code my notes and unlock the full potential the pictures on the AppStore showed. Please allow us to make our own colors and add a color eye dropper. Thank you.

  11. Hello guys, I've been using both notability and goodnotes for over almost 2 years now and i still cant crown one over another, but goodnotes is wayt closer to being the king over notability due to the versatility of the app, custom paper, tools, etc, but theres a tool that i use everysingle day, and that it is soooo much better on notability than on goodnotes, and thats the hold to snap / auto shape tool
    I know we already have the snap to other shapes feature, but that is basically useless unlessyoure using lines..
    I would like for you…

  12. We need an option to choose for the text to fit naturally to the lines of templates that have lines to type on. It would be great that when we change the chosen font, it would adapt and still fit in the line.

    It's too troublesome trying to find the right font to fit into the lines, and I still cant find my perfect font and font size to do that.

  13. I appreciate the setting of hyperlinks coming from other apps such as Keynote or InDesign, etc. However, I think it would be more useful the possibility to preview all the bookmarks on a sidebar whenever I want, being able to add shortcuts to any of my files inside the GoodNotes app.

  14. When you change your font from 24, it will stay like that until you write in and exit a text box. The font will stay like that until you exit the text box, then it resets to 24. When I want to use font size 12 for all my text boxes, I have to manually click the font size changer and click "-" 12 times every single box. Please, please add this in, it gets tedious.

  15. There is an app muse, who to tell you the truth is a bad app but has a very unique feature and that it has infinity amount of flashcards on it that they can become bigger and smaller and you can even add a card inside another

    What am asking for is simple a flashcard that you see its containt and can controle its size that when you want to use you can make it bigger, this flashcard has an infinitesimal size or at least the size of a typical page

    This feature is like a game-changer for most of…

  18. Apart from allowing users to lasso select a free range of notes and switching their colors, a shortcut could be added to facilitate this process. The coloring tool should be should be similar to a highlighter, but it only changes the color of existing brushstrokes it touches to a selected colour, instead of drawing new brushstrokes itself.

  20. We need an option to somewhat invert dark papers with bright colors into white papers with a dark color but in a more controlled way so we can read on a dark mode and print it on a typical paper.
