  3. I would like the option in GoodNotes 5 to be able to give a title to a bookmark. This was available in the previous version, and I think it would be a good to reinstate this.

  4. Add a function, like in GoodReader, where there is a “back to reading” button - so you can toggle between a document and the file browser view.

  6. There are so many on the market Bluetooth stylus that could be added to the system like GN 4 had. I run off of an older ipad so I cannot use the apple pencil. Because of this i use the Adonit Pixel which is rated as one of the top aftermarket Bluetooth stylus' in one of your own articles. Apple pencil is not the one and only stylus on the market

  7. It would be nice, if Good Notes would feature a tool to create geometrical shapes the same way as it is possible in Word or other text editors, so that you can tap a button, choose the shape and place it, since the given tool is often not able to interpret correctly how I want the shape to be exactly. It is often useful as it is easier to use, but both possibilities would be great.

  9. Hey! You could you please add the old feature again so that I can sync the app with my Mac? It's super annoying to send all the files to my macbook, with GoodNotes 4 I was able to sync with Google Drive. This would help a lot!! Thanks

  14. Since we are writing with one hand (right or left) it is an obvious idea to give us ALL tools in the reach of the other hand. Come on, it’s not that hard to do this. :)

  15. In GoodNotes 5, when I open more than three larger pdf files in tabs, GN 5 can‘t remember the size of the fourth pdf file.

    On the attached video, you see a comparison of GoodNotes 4 and GoodNotes 5

  17. I have a feature request for PDF presentations with animations. It would be very helpful to have a button, that allows to perform the following three actions in a sequence:

    1) Copy all handwritten notes on the current slide/page.

    1. Move to the next slide/page

    2. Paste all the handwritten notes at the same place as these have been on the previous slide.

    This button would be very helpful for having PDF presentations in lectures.

  18. Guys - the ability to snooze/set a reminder for a note would be amazing. When i'm using notes to generate ideas etc i often want to come back to them but you get busy and forget. A prompt would be invaluable (similar to 'nudges' in gmail) thanks

  19. Enable a "Back" link. PDF "Back" links work until I import the PDF into GoodNotes. I know there is a "Back" menu item but it would be so much easier to support it via a link on a document.

  20. It will be great in shortscuts (the new App in iOS12) will be supported in GoodNotes. For exapmple to create a new note Baseball on a predefined tamplate with a Siri command.
