  2. It would be better if I could select any part of an image (imported to GoodNotes 5 ) to cut/ copy it so that I could delete/paste it anywhere else on the page/pages. I am attaching a video to convey my point. If this feature is available please let me know how to use it.

  3. It was very convenient to use the tools (pen color, eraser, one step back...) in the zoom-in box, but it is gone in GoodNotes 5. Please bring them back, they are critical in writing efficiency! Thanks!

  4. I believe work flow would be improved if select and copy is quicker.

    Lets say, leave one finger on the screen and select would copy, doing that with two fingers on the screen would past it.

    The time holding the finger down sometimes makes quicker write the sentence again instead of copying it.

  6. I’d like to be able to enter math equations in text with special characters like in Microsoft word. With special characters and symbols. I use good notes for engineering.If you look a word, it has equation, and symbols, subscripts and super scripts. That would be great.

  7. I think everyone ist working with files stored on a cloud (iCloud, Dropbox, ...)
    Allowing direct access to the files and working directly on them without having to export would give a huge improvement to everyones workflow.

    Take PDF reader as an example or apps like that.

    Having to import every file into GoodNotes is a big waste of time which could be avoided really "easily".

  8. Hi, I would love to see this update soon. No one is doing it and I think it would set you apart from the rest.

    We all use reminders every day for certain tasks, emails and or events. This is so common. But, when I am writing notes using my iPad I may have something in particular I'd like to come back too. How ever having to find it again, or create an anchor or something is a bit difficult at times to do on the fly.

    So, what would be awesome is this. Perhaps the lasso tool has an…

  10. Wir brauchen eine Funktion mit der wir mehrere Bilder auf einmal hinzufügen können. Es dauert ewig wenn z.B. 20 Bilder zugefügt werden müssen.

  11. Automatically created datestamp in filename during Export

    I love to work with GN5 at school as a teacher every day - I can't imagine working without it. Therefore I export the actual content every day to upload it into the cloud and it would be helpful, if I could check a checkbox, that would add the date of the day after the export-filename.

  12. When we create a new notebook we should be able to choose the number of pages we want added for the paper template we selected. For example, I want fifty pages of the blank paper template automatically added to my new notebook.
    That way we don’t have to manually add page after page or keep pulling on the current page and release to add another page.
    This feature would be the equivalent of buying a physical notebook from the store with a set number of pages.

  13. It would be nice if the auto advance box could be placed towards the center right or right side of the zoom window. As a left handed person, it can be difficult and uncomfortable to write neatly given the fact that the iPad has height to it unlike paper. on a flat service. I’m having to resort to manually move the zoom window which disrupts my writing flow.

  17. In GoodNotes 4, 3 colors and the eraser tool were easily accessible at the top of the zoom window. It would be great to have this back. It is a bit inconvenient to reach to the top of the ipad to erase, change tool or undo.

  19. It seams that whenever I use pencil in sidecar (or with Luna display) Goodnotes disable use od mouse: I can select tools, but pencil, laso, eraser do not work with mouse. I need to restart the app to get them back under control. (I use the latest version of iOS, macOS.)
