  2. 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!

  3. I would like to see the option to zoom into e.g. an A4 squared paper with 5mm squares where (zoomed in) the squares on the screen resemble 5mm. Like a 1:1 zoom

  4. To be more productive it would be very helpful if GoodNote would include described features.
    Geometrical shapes means that one can automatically create shapes such as squares, circles etc. without using shape tool.

  5. There are times where I’ve lasso’d a diagram that I’ve drawn or handwriting and I’d like to drag it to the next page but it won’t let you. You have to copy, paste and delete to get the same result

  6. 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…

  8. Most of other viewers or handwriting app supports automatic Fit to Width and Fit to Page(Height) when pinch to zooming in/out page.
    It will be awesome if GoondNotes 5 have this feature too!
    For now it’s quite bothersome to zoom in/out to fit to width or page manually.

  9. I have a feature request for PDF presentations with animations. It would be very helpful to have a button, that allows to perform the following three actions in a sequence:

    1) Copy all handwritten notes on the current slide/page.

    1. Move to the next slide/page

    2. Paste all the handwritten notes at the same place as these have been on the previous slide.

    This button would be very helpful for having PDF presentations in lectures.

  12. Please implement the feature to combine two highlights and to not allow highlight over a highlight. It drives me crazy every day if I mistakenly lift the pencil and highlight again.
