  1. I would love for the App to support full presentation mode for Powerpoint slides with all the animations and transitions

    with the ongoing pandemic, online classes are quite common now and teaching online requires an excellent app that can be used to stream to students.

    it would so awesome to combine the annotation capabilities of good notes and combine that with Microsoft powerpoint for awesome presentations to students.

  2. Please make smaller query intervals for cards you don't know yet. Even if I have classified half of the flashcards as difficult, the query interval increases significantly.I think it's good that not every day the same flashcards and always only a few flashcards are queried. Nevertheless, the date for the next query should also take into account the cards that were not queried on this day and were previously classified as hard, otherwise they will be queried, for example only in two weeks, which affects the learning progress.

  3. Every time I copy or do screen capture, it takes me 3 steps from different buttons to copy the picture, so my hand needs to move up, top right for copying.... can streamline for copying process?

    Also, every time I change color, I need to move my pen from left to right for selecting different color, is it possible to allocate the changing color just under "pen" button? So my hand can move less for that action?

  4. I'd like to be able to select multiple images and upload them as templates (paper/cover) as it's a bit tedious when I want to upload many original templates, and having to upload them one by one.

  5. Do not change font and formatting of text when changing the size of the font. When you have text with various formatting (underlining, bolding, or italics), changing the font size of the entire group of text will change the formatting and apply the bold or italics to all characters within the group.
    If the size of entire group of text is changed, only the size of the text should change. The formatting should remain unchanged.

  7. Being able to adjust opacity would enable note taking to use a Boldness type feature for important ideas and parenthetical ideas could be more faint.

  8. It would be so cool if you could add sticky mage markers (see attachment) to your notebooks and PDF documents – just like in a "real" notebook. If you "click" on a page marker, you jump to that section. But the difference is, this does not have to be a structure point or something.

    Also, I cannot use bookmarks, because I cannot arrange those in several categories which I would definitely need.

    Also, this would be quite handy.

  11. I like how the patch tool works in Photoshop, and I think it would be useful in GoodNotes too. I would use it to edit diagrams and remove parts, such as labels, that I do not want. Here is an example of how the patch tool works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II4lfxoNrJ8
    Even though the patch tool is commonly used to edit photographs, it can definitely be used for editing illustrations too. I have used the patch tool in Photoshop before, and I started seeing the need for it again as I was trying to prepare diagrams for GoodNotes. I feel that it would…

  12. To address the battery drain issue maybe you could implement a feature in which the software transforms strokes into vectors just every 10 seconds or so instead of doing it instantly. Or maybe an option in which one can deactivate vectoring on pdf files, where in my opinion it is not really necessary. This problem is huge! 15-20 % drain in 1 hour of use is unacceptable. Despite preferring GoodNotes, this is the reason I really am considering Switching to Notability.

  14. The use I meant to do with the iPad is a sort of infinite whiteboard. And I use to draw diagrams and mathematical notation.
    Would I be able to use the Lasso tool for exporting formulas to something editable in text, like LaTeX? Maybe with a huge community of students and researchers currently using Goodnotes that may be interested to that.

  15. I have a professional app that allow user to create a virtual desktop on whatever thematic. Inside you can bookmark all the file, page, folder related to that thematic. I find that very pratical.
    It would be great that Goodnotes develops this. For example we could create a desktop for "Gardening" where I could link all the documents already in Goodnotes, relating to gardening, it could be a whole file, a folder, a bookmark.
    Then I could create a desktop, "Current homework" with all my current work, like a temporary desktop.
    It's very interesting because you don't have anymore to…

  16. I am a new user I really enjoy this app but there are some features that will be handy for all for us users of Goodnotes 5. Starting with a setting of margins for the templates ( I print my notes to put them on a binder and some of my notes gets cut of with the hole puncher), a ruler (this will be super handy, I know I can use the shape tool but there's people that work with measurements)

  19. Need favourites form for pencil, highlighter and text.
    I usually use Good note 5 for Studying, and I feel it is not comfortable to using.
    If you make a form that I can set up my favourites pencil especially a typeof pencil and colour and what ever, It would be very useful for people. Also the Text function has problem. when i want to change the font, it is very inconvenience. Because you even didn't have "recently use".
    I really like Good note5. But some functions are really improved.

  20. Have a pen or an ink that only shows on the iPad, and not on a presentation screen. This would allow presenters to annotate their presentations without the audience seeing the notes. It would be useful for fill in the blanks, presenter notes and comments. A presenter could even "pre-draw" a picture, which could then be redrawn live.
