  1. In some pdf, the words are well formatted. Therefore, I thought it would be much easier for us to use mouse cursor or trackpad to select the word for copy and paste or translation.

  2. Make text selection function like updates Apple Notes wherein if you click and hold and then drag you can select a whole block of text, the way you can on a desktop. Currently if you click & hold it selects a single word, and then when you drag the selection it moves the selection box to another word. Instead it should expand the selection box to highlight more text. Pretty simple but would be very helpful for me.

  3. I use GoodNotes 4 on my iPad mini 4 and love it. GoodNotes 5 however has this HUGE toolbar that gets even taller when there are open tabs, wasting a lot of my valuable screen-space. It takes up a solid inch of my 6.25 inch display. If it could collapse or otherwise be made closer to the height of the GoodNotes 4 bar (~5/8 in) it would remove one of my major blockers of adopting GoodNotes 5

  4. It's been a long time since we've gotten any striking new features (the last one was the addition hold to snap shapes)
    It would be amazing if good notes had a dedicated web page where users could see features that developers are working on.

    Some of the most wanted features I've seen are:

    1) More colors in the tab bar

    2) Adding colors to the tab bar that appears while using the zoom tool

    3) Vertical split zoom tool while using iPad in landscape mode instead of a landscape split zoom while iPad is in landscape mode

    4) Zoom in/…

  5. The ability to link a GoodNote to Slack, Evernote, Things etc. Make GoodNote an embedded tool connected to the leading productivity apps ! And of course, the ability to quickly jump between connected notes in different folders/books.

  6. When trying to create any sort of graph, the axes need to have graduations at regular intervals. Instead of trying to approximate by hand, there could be an option after the line is selected, to divide it into any number of intervals.

  7. Recognize handwritten header and set or suggest it as the filename, so i don't have a pile of 'Untitled' documents in my library. Just a little convenience feature.

  9. There are two toolbars unnecessarily. Top toolbar for browsing slides, searching for specific words, undo button and the add page button. Bottom toolbar for writing tools. Top one only uses up the left and right side (with the title taking up a huge amount of space in the middle) and the bottom toolbar only uses the middle so they would merge perfectly if you just moved the title elsewhere, thus giving us the users more space to write/draw on.

  10. Hello:

    I would really appreciate it if you could allow the users to add a watermark or put a lock in pdfs, because I'm a teacher and i grade all my student's assignments on GooNotes.

    I can add a logo image or a draw and put it as a watermark but it' would save me a lot of time if i could edit the position and/or transparency of certain objects and images, because i have a ton of documents to grade.

    Thank you for your attention.

  13. Have the ability to annotate the original PDF file from the Files app (or Google Drive) and keep it in sync across different apps without having to import and essentially create a second version of the file in GoodNotes

  16. Erasing within a circles erases the circle itself. The tools should not do this and should be working like it does within other shapes.

  17. When I screenshot parts of a document and insert them at a different point, the ratio always changes and the screenshot is bigger/smaller than the original image/text passage I wanted to take a screenshot of.
    I have to resize the screenshots every time which takes time and both parts often don't end up being the exact same size.

  18. Because of me writing with my left hand, i have problems by writing at the edge of the paper when i zoom in a bit. A Mode where you can position your page a bit further to the right would be great !!

  19. I do not know why but every time I use a text box and type vs. using my apple pen to write. IT DELETES. All my notes are gone. It's very frustrating.
