  1. What would be great would be a feature where you could insert a Cartesian plane and type 1 or more functions in a field for them to then be drawn on top. This would be harder than implementing parabola or trigonometry templates but the result would look far better then a hand drawn option and will be more accurate. Looking at some notes in the community section it's clear to see that a lot of people would benefit from such a feature.

  3. When in the pen tool with pressure sensitivity scaled to absolute minimum there is still a pressure sensitivity, at the very end of the scale there should be an option for zero sensitivity, whatever I have selected for line thickness is exactly how it comes out!!

  5. The ability to mass select flashcards in a pile, either to delete them or to duplicate certain ones. Sometimes I get shared flashcards from classmates but want to delete a number of them at once, which isn’t possible, so I have to delete one by one which is not only tedious but also reduces productivity.

  6. It would be great if it could be an option to remove the little green icon that reminds you to study the flashcards. After an exam is done I still want them there but I’m not going to revise anymore and the fact that the icon appears on the whole folder is distracting.

  7. So, basically, I got .goodnotes file (digital planner imported from pdf) and when I make export file as pdf editable with annotations and background - it creates pdf file (yeey) but most part of hyperlinks are missing, or some layer of text is missing.
    For example - hyperlink to January, February will work, but April will not. Also I did re-check exported pdf into foxit reader - and it also shows that there is no particular hyperlinks but my main file do has. So it means, there is this annoying bug.

    Also, on iPad 9th gen Goodnotes 5 (last updated…

  8. Some academic papers use endnotes. Would like a feature to quickly move between two points in a document. I might manually scroll to the bottom of the document to check the notes, but then it would be nice to have a button or toggle to take me back to where I was.

    Thanks

  9. Automatically copy selected words in pdf.
    The application scenario is goodnote+eudic automatic translation. When reading an English pdf, you can directly click on a word (select a word) and automatically copy it to the clipboard, and eudic can immediately display the translation

  10. Currently, when long pressing selected text, we have the option to highlight it or strikethrough it. I use those options frequently, but i miss the possibility to just underline the selected text

  12. So Im Using GoodNotes for some time now and imo there is some Features missing:

    • Color Picking tool (tap on the color to copy it and use it on a pen or marker till its being changed)
    • Mathsymbol Converter or Mathsymbolpaster
    • Advanced Drawing mode:
      • Dotted Lines/Objects Mode
      • Drawing Symmetric Courves without adding them together
      • Aligning Lines
      • rotating Drawings without changing their Size
      • Layering [Would also be nice for studying with the folders to make some sort of "Tap on the field to show solution" outside of the learning cards]
    • Optimized Textfields:
      • single field
      • Squared area

    And if its possible to…

  14. I think these two text alignment buttons in apple notes- as shown in the attached image -give more freedom and more alignment degrees than the 3 buttons options in goodnotes which are less functioning( i.e. just extreme right , center , extreme left )

  15. I would like to if the handwriting into text box which automatically changes the handwriting would be possible all the time (i dont have apple pencil so no scribble). You could add it to the setting so the writer could choose if they want it automatically changed or not. Also maybe if i could use the text boxes with zoom because it is easier to write like that. It changes my handwriting into the text box while using zoom feature but the words dont show up and they disappear.

  16. Allow us to define Bookmark groups: folders/filters which hold pages bookmarked with certain labels.

    I press the bookmark button on a page, this marks the page into an "unsorted" or "default" bookmark folder. When I go to look at my bookmarks for this document, I can then sort them into "Reference", "Revisit", "Inspiring", ... and other folders to better sort my dozens of bookmarks for long documents.

    Bonus points if I can color code the bookmarks too!

  17. When at uni I need as much screen real estate as possible. So the tab at the top with all the different pen options takes away too much of the screen space. It would be great if we could enter a full screen mode and be able to write while in the corner there is an option if need to bring back the toolbar.

  19. I am one of the lucky people who is able to use Goodnotes 4 to experience the best note taking pens in the App store. ✍️

    I constantly check for Goodnotes 5 updates to see if the pen experience has improved.

    The biggest differences can be seen when writing the letter "S". 🖋️ The mechanism used in Goodnotes 5 almost forces the letter to fix itself 👷 while as in Goodnotes 4 its thicker while also making sure it doesn't force your handwriting a certain way.

    Goodnotes 4 feels so natural and without manipulation while preserving the nice thickness of…

  20. I do not have the slightest idea how to delete comments out of the Windows beta. I click on the comment I made and it does not have a menu to delete the comment. I cannot delete the comment as well with the eraser tool. Right-clicking also does not work on the comment bubble to delete it. Please advise or add fix or workaround.
