  1. I would join this wish, in combination with a feature from OneNote, which I appreciate very much: Create a gap on the page by inserting a space of any height. This creates space between existing text or sketches for additions.
    It might be a problem to move the space to the next page, because the content of the next page is delimited. A compromise would be creating a page on which the moved part is pushed.

  2. It would be nice if I could set the pen to not be erasable. Sometimes, I do not notice that I am in eraser mode (with a big size), then I accidentally erase my notes.

  3. I like to use the app because it’s awesome to insert images and make notes as I want, but the text box isn’t practical.
    It would be great if typewriting was easier by having ready-to-use pages and text pre-sets (sometimes it’s hard to adjust the space between lines and texts). It would also be nice to have tables options.

  4. Notability has the option of resizing the shapes, both enlarging and reducing but also making one side shorter or longer etc. I would like that in goodnotes

  5. it will be ok to import a picture ( for example a nautical compass), filtering white so it can be transparent ( already possible now ) and make an area impenetrable so that we can draw straight lines during lessons.

  6. It's difficult to adjust the line spacing with the scroll bar because my finger isn't accurate enough so I would like to be able to adjust it by putting the line spacing value in. Thanks

  7. Has an alternative or fix been found to this problem? I can no longer work with an app that does not let me access my notes when I need them

  8. It would be great to be able to import a calendar event into a note like OneNote can. It would save time having to write that info down as well as be a good search tool.

  9. Hello guys, I've been using both notability and goodnotes for over almost 2 years now and i still cant crown one over another, but goodnotes is wayt closer to being the king over notability due to the versatility of the app, custom paper, tools, etc, but theres a tool that i use everysingle day, and that it is soooo much better on notability than on goodnotes, and thats the hold to snap / auto shape tool
    I know we already have the snap to other shapes feature, but that is basically useless unlessyoure using lines..
    I would like for you…

  11. 我有一個這樣的想法,在整個頁面中提供內置的一個個小頁面。這些小頁面可以通過添加的按鈕打開,但這又不同與超鏈接。這樣做的好處是可以不影響整個頁面佈局的前提下使筆記更一目瞭然。希望你們能採納我的這個想法,期待您的回復。
    I have an idea to provide built-in small pages in the entire page. These small pages can be opened by adding buttons, but this is different from hyperlinks. The advantage of this is that the notes can be more clear without affecting the layout of the entire page. I hope you can adopt this idea and look forward to your reply.

    The original content of this content is Chinese, and only the original text can express the most accurate meaning.

  13. When I input some big size text or several lines text, due the text function cannot modify the width, so it cannot show it fully, sometimes it looks weird. I cannot imagine the result after I put this kind of text.

  14. Now in the app, when I need to change the text size, I only can use my finger to drop the icon, but this method cannot let me set the text in same size at each time.
    Whether can design a input window to input the text size directly?

  16. I think there should be a smaller version of the tool bar that doesn’t take much space in screen
    dynamic option will be a great addition because it allow us to customize the tool bar however we want for example making it smaller, auto hide feature (like the one in notes app in iPad).

  18. Please add a writing section tool to make space in the document, as on OneNote. The Lasso toll takes a little too long

  20. Layers/shapes/form background/PASSWORD PROTECTION.

    I could go on, buy GN 5 is still quite awesome. Just add the password protection and be done with that silliness already!

    Oh, and sync with iCal / add alarm features for the TO DO list please!
