  1. It's pretty annoying to have to switch back to the pen after pasting copied content (even when pasting handwritten text).

  3. Like Apple notes the eraser should be more precise so you can get a sharp edge. Right now every time you erase you are left with a rounded edge which not everyone likes.

  4. Today, when you want to use the fountain pen in Green at a size of 1,5mm for some elements PLUS the ball pen in black at a size of 0,3mm, you have to always switch the 3 characteristics ALL THE TIME :

    1. Tap Pen > switch Fountain / Ball
    2. Tap Colour > switch the colour
    3. Tap Size > switch the size >> In real paper life, you drop the first pen and take the other one... it should the same here

    Solution Needed :

  6. It would be good if you are reminded when the flashcards are due and then an automatic query is made. So far, at the end of a learning session, it says when you should come back to learn the flashcards. However, if you want to study the vocabulary on that day, it says another day because it assumes you have already studied the vocabulary. So you have to press "Study again", although the flashcards have not been learned on that day.

  7. Any ability to easily add links and tags would be great...
    But look at roam research and think about how you might add automatic indexing and cross linking!

    Would be killer.

  8. where is the ink color selector in the zoom window in GoodNotes 5? :( Zoom window on GN4 was way better then GN5...
    That's why I'm still on GN4.
    It was your strongest point over others app.... Very sad.. not every one want to haver a big iPad that Don fit on a bag, or have resource to have one... In my case, going all up to the screen change the pen color, to make an obs in diferente Collor, it a sux kind of UX.@

  9. When the option to open documents in a new tab is on, when closing the second to last tab, the option to click x and close the last remaining tab is removed and you can only click the arrow to go back to the document library. When you then open a new document, the tab from the previous work session is also there. You should be able to close the last remaining tab. So that when you open a new document it is the only open document.

  11. It would be so useful to have font size/line spacing options available as a drop-down menu. I use standard line spacing for bodies of text, but often want 25pt spacing for lists. I can never drag it to this, so have to press the increment buttons 100 times!

  13. When converting a powerpoint to GoodNotes, it would be great if the comments and notes that were attached in the PowerPoint were able to be transferred as well. Since the conversion to online, my professors just post the slides with notes attached to certain slides to elaborate more on the topics. These comments and notes aren’t transferred but it would be nice to get these ported over to GoodNotes.

  14. I suggest to let smaller size for the highlighter! I use it for coloring on my Bullet Journal and it will be so much useful if it can be made smaller or bigger, the same as the pen size for little details. The 1 size is too big for some details.

  15. Move the COPY option back to the middle of the options when using the lasso tool. Having to move my hand/pencil all the way to the left (or to either far side, for that matter) is not intuitive for left or right-handed people.

  17. The iPad dock line at the bottom interferes a lot with my hand while taking notes. I see that other apps like Procreate hide the dock line, and I need an extra gesture to get the line visible. This feature will be awesome on Goodnotes as I currently have a bad experience where an entire line of writing disappears sometimes because the iPad dock line was engaged by the bottom of my hand that was resting.

  19. It takes way too much time to copy/paste items today. I would like to recommend a copy/paste buttons on toolbar and at the same moment to make the toolbar customisable.
