  1. Shape draw tool corrects all tries to draw an arc or only part of an elipse (for example, to draw rounded arrows) to either a straight line or a complete circle; partial would be useful

  2. 工具栏面积占比太高了,浪费屏幕显示区域,关闭了状态栏显示都还是觉得工具栏占位置过多,影响阅读及书写体验。小小建议:把工具栏缩减为一行,或者在不减少工具选项的情况下把工具栏做窄一点,个人认为没必要做得那么宽。希望能改进一下下。

  3. More templates that are dark: easier on eyes and battery. A true black, a blue print blue.

  4. In the previous edition of Goodnotes 5(5.4.19), the developer seemed to cancel the feature of brush stroke(seen in the following picture), which might be linked to the improvements on algorithm. This change has made the writing experience so weird and unreal, so I wish you can return the brush stroke in the previous editions.

  5. Auto Backup Copy update was a great update from GoodNotes 5

    However, a major problem has show up.

    There is no option to automatically backup up PDF Copy with blank page layout.

    This would be great to improve visibility in PDF Files. It’s kind odd my backup PDF keep the lines or dots on background of my notes.

  6. Please can you add an option where you can customise the size of the page being added? This will be especially useful when adding a new page to an already existing PDF that is not the same size as one of the template options. What would be even better would be if the app could detect the size of the current paged in use (like with the “use current template”) option, but then it lets you insert either a blank or a lined page.

  7. Sarebbe utile oltre a poter creare un indice poter creare anche un sotto indice per ogni indice. In questo modo sarebbe possibile creare nel proprio quaderno una categoria con sotto categorie.

  8. 现在在竖向滑动的状态下,双指缩放只能看到几个页面竖着排列缩小的缩略图,希望可以使缩略图填充页面,比如缩略浏览可以填充周围的空处,同时看到四个或六个页面的内容,并可以进行编辑书写。

  9. During my studies i use GoodNotes 5 every day and i love it.
    But in some lectures we uses some symbols and characters often. And therefor is my idea.
    Is there a possibility to creat an own library for often uses symbols?
    That i only have to draw them once and save them in „my own symbols library“?
    For example the summation sign (∑), or the drawing of electrical schematics with resistors, capacitors etc.

  10. 現状、iCloudバックアップはGoodNotes5に保存している全てのデータを自動でCloudにアップロードして他のデバイスでファイルに加えた変更が反映されるようになっているがデバイスごとの容量の違いから読み込めないファイルが発生してしまい容量の小さい方のデバイスでiCloudバックアップをオンにできない状況が発生しています。

    例えば自分はiPad Pro(512Gb)とiPad mini(64Gb)を使っています。iPad Pro内のGoodNotes5に保存したデータが100Gbを超えており全てiCloudにアップロードしています。しかしiPadminiの容量が足りないためにiPadmini内のGoodNotes5のiCloudバックアップをオンにできない状況です。

    この解決策としてGoodNotes5内の全てのファイルをiCloudにアップロードする必要はないため、アップロードするファイルを選択して使えるようにできたらより便利になると思います。
    ご検討のほどよろしくお願いします。

  13. Not a suggestion, but complaint. Unable to set a file name to exclude from the auto-backup. I can't click on the section, and there is no where for me to set a file name to exclude.

  15. The Zoom window is too small when it moves to the next line. If you want to indent, it's really annoying to have to advance it to get a full sized window.

  16. Match shortcuts with keys as in a computer. Moreover, when you go to the next page with the keyboard, the page advances but not the page counter and you cannot bookmark that page correctly, for example.

  17. There should be shortcuts for
    - document search
    - search all files
    - delete page
    - mark/unmark page
    - close current file
    - switch between edit and view mode
    - cmd + z / cmd + shift + z for undo and redo

    I think there can not be to many shortcuts, as they are invisible to everyone not using them. Add your ideas...

  18. I was wondering if you can add a feature?

    I would love it if you could make it that you can scroll the page you are working on up the screen further than just to the bottom of the screen. What I mean by this is rather than have the bottom of the page you are writing on stay at the bottom of the screen, it would be great if you could actually scroll the page up so the bottom of the page you are writing on is actually half way up the screen so you can still rest your…

  20. Search will find text on a PDF, but NOT in the form fields of that PDF - though the contents of the form fields is displayed. I work with a lot of fillable PDF's and this is a significant deficiency.
