  1. Using the „open in new Window“ Split Screen Mode should be enabled with just using one window, so you can duplicate your document you actual using without opening another document by unnecessary.

  2. Can you please add the opportunity to "freeze" while presentation-mode. Like you did in GN4. This was great, because you could take a look foreward without confusing the audience by scrolling.

  3. Hi,

    For example, when we're using a red pencil and convert it to text the fond of the text become black. Can you add an option so by default the color of the font is the same as the original handwritten note?

    Thanks

  4. Currently, when I use the text feature with a ruled background, the texts will overlap the lines of the background. It will be perfect if we can adjust the spacing such that the text can fit perfectly between the space.

    I would like to add if possible that the shape tool can be enhanced to recognise the shapes better. Occasionally the shape tool will correct my input into a warped shape.

  5. Could Goodnotes 5 allow export to PDF or image without the template background? Whenever I select export without background, it remove all my inserted or imported picture/pdf.

    I would like to export without template background for printing, because it is waste of ink.

    Also, can we export selected pages too ?
    Can Goodnotes auto convert the light colour ink in dark mode to dark ink when exporting without background? (like Notes App in iOS13)

  6. If I am using the global search I like to edit the found documents (rename, delete, move) like it is possible in the normal view.

  7. Please add a “paste in place” option to the pop up that appears when you press and hold on a page. I would like to copy one or more elements from a page and then paste in the same position on a new page.

    I use GN as a planner (on my iPad) and frequently tweak and then reuse layouts I like. This would make quicker work of it.

  10. Would be great if the opacity of pen or highlighter could be controlled for the desired outcome. Currently using a black paper template and anything you highlight disappears because the opacity of the highlighter isn’t high enough!

  11. Text (which should fit ON THE PAGE LINES !) should auto “next page” so you can continuously flow through typing and not worry about going to the next page, making a new text box, fitting it, resizing the text to fit the grid lines

  12. Please please please make the grid likes actually automatically fit to the text, any text box just kind of floats on top of the lines and you have to resize the text and try to fit it to the lines and it never works. If text worked better I would use it more

  13. When I select an area and take a screenshot it opens another screen.
    It would be much better to have the option (Maybe in settings) to put a screenshot straight into the clipboard. A lot of the time I just want to quickly copy from an imported PDF document to separate notebook.

  14. It would be great if you could add an extension for google chrome where by you can 'send' something to your GoodNotes ios app.

    For example.

    In am currently researching for a large essay. I use chrome on my PC and GoodNotes on my iPad Pro. I would LOVE to be able to look at a PDF, or a section of website and 'import' this into goodnotes in the same way you can do if using chrome on the iPad.

    Currently, i have to find something i like, then 'send' it to chrome on the iPad, then open chrome on…

  16. GoodNotes can be used a a great meeting notes tool. It would be nice to see an integration with iOS calendar (similar to Onenote: add meeting details) and with Reminders (add a new task/reminder)

  17. Please add romanian language as well, text recognition was the primary reason I have bought the app and I was very disappointed not to find Ro there. Thank you!

  18. Hallo, ich fände es sehr hilfreich, wenn man Dateien (wie zum Beispiel Bilder, Textfelder, oder die eigene Schrift) mit Hilfe des cut Tools zwischen zwei Seiten hin und her bewegen könnte (bei Vertical scrolling) außerdem fände ich eine Lineal Funktion und eine Bibliothek aus bereits vorgefertigten Formen sehr sinnvoll.

    Manchmal hat man ebenfalls das Problem, dass Linien parallel zu den blatträndern ausgerichtet werden, was sehr hinderlich ist wenn man auf beispielsweise fotografierten Folien gerade Linien ziehen möchte zum unterstreichen von Text oder ähnlichem.

    Außerdem erkennt das shape Tool leider oft die Formen nicht oder erkennt Formen welche man eher selten…

  20. I'd like to suggest that you put something like an < and > on either side of the page that can be tapped to turn the page back (if to the left) and forward (if to the right). This would making turning pages much easier. Currently we have to swipe with multiple fingers and it takes multiple swipes to actually turn the page. A directional button like we see in kindle or iBooks would be so simple and make turning pages as easy as tapping the directional icon with the pen tip.
