  1. Right now good notes doesn't support pinching with three fingers to copy and pinching out to paste. The only option is to hold for a second until the copy option pops up which is a bit tedious and slow.

  2. I've been using Goodnotes 5 for several years both for work and for personal affairs. It's my go-to for note-taking, info filing, etc. (My Notability has gone into the Cloud, maybe forever ..).

    With frequent use over time, the problem is what I stated on the subject line. I know there's a way to "favorite" a page, a folder, etc. And yes, there is a SEARCH bar.

    But there does not seem to be flexibility in customizing my "library" of materials, and the layout of the main page (currently only by date, name, type) to enable me to feel better…

  3. I would like to be able to use the select tool when writing with the Zoom window without having to exit this mode.

    I use this app every day and it would be quite helpful if you are able to add this feature :)

  4. Currently, you can scroll smoothly or continuously if your Scrolling Direction is Vertical. However, if your Scrolling Direction is set to Horizontal, you have to flip through each page one at a time.

    Allowing for continuous horizontal scrolling would be ideal for my work.

  5. To delete a page we need to pass through a long process of 5 clics or so.
    That's not quick enough.
    A single DELETE button on the page, next to ADD PAGE, would be a solution

  6. A split-page feature would allow for one section of the page to remain on a desired piece of text, whilst the other could scroll down and view the questions.

    I am aware of opening the same document in another window, which is great, but what if i wanted to view 1) the text, 2) the questions, and 3) the guidance to the answers, all at once?

    This page-split feature would be indispensable!

  7. When I try to write curves in the app, it often turns into few straight lines. I am pretty sure I didn’t write something like that. Really hoping that there are options to turn it off, so that I can write curves normally.
    Also, streamline option would be great as well.

    Writing experience in GoodNotes definitely has room for improvement

  8. On the Mac version of Goodnotes 5, it is a huge battery drainer and takes up a lot of CPU performance. My Mac is extremely loud from the fan usage when I am using the app. This makes it nearly impossible to use the app when I do not have a charger with me since it drains the battery within the hour.

  10. When you're trying to copy anything on GoodNotes 5 by selecting on the lasso tool and select copy. It "always" take a few moments to load, even though the item size is very small. I don't understand why I need to wait for the program to load everytime. It's very annoying!
    Ps. GoodNotes 4 and Notability do not have this problem. When I'm trying to copy, it processes instantaneously.

  12. When making diagram I use shapes, I often need to have multiple circles or squares of the same size, since it is inconvenient and hard to draw each one in the exact same size my only option is to copy and then paste them, which is ok but if we can have two in one option (duplicate) the workflow would be faster. Duplication would be great for everything, not just shapes though.

  14. 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 :
    1. You let us define / save the 3 elements at the same time & allow…

  15. 建议缩小工具栏的面积,或者将多行工具栏合并为一行(空间完全够)。在看文档时工具栏占据了太多屏幕空间。

    同时希望可以自定义工具栏位置。
