  2. 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.

  3. Please allow for an opt-in to have the notebooks encrypted especially when clouded. This allows for more work related notes to follow good business conduct and will encourage more business support and adoption of your product.

  5. I love the pen tool in Goodnotes! But I want more custom pens to chose from on the fly. Currently, only the zoom window gives me the choice of three colors. Why can't we have this in the main toolbar at the top? Also, I'd like to set different thicknesses for my customs pens so I can switch between a fine blue pen and a thick red pen with one tap. This would speed up my grading a lot! Thanks!

  6. To make space for the microphone/recording icon (perhaps for the sake of symmetry) the bookmark icon was removed. There is now no visual feedback of for a page being bookmarked.

    One on hand, I use this feature with my planner to add the current week to favorites for a quick retrieval. On the other hand I will never use the recording feature.
    My dismay at this new development is self evident and so is my wish for a future positive resolution for my quandry.

  7. As part of my workflow, I am quite regularly wanting to insert a new page with just parts of what is on on my current page.

    There are two ways I can accomplish this at the moment:

    1. Open the multi-page view, tap edit, select the current page, tap copy, tap done, tap +, tap the + in a circle where I want to insert the page, tap "Paste Copied Pages", tap done, select my newly inserted page, use the lasso tool to select the parts of the pages I do not want to keep, and delete them.

    2. Use the lasso…

  8. As a planner and student, it would be so helpful to have an adjustable opacity for pictures that we insert. This would allow text underneath to show or for layering stickers or for block scheduling. It would really improve planning on the iPad. Thank you!

  9. I downloaded Goodnotes 5 because it promised I could rotate a selection. However every time I rotate the selection is changes the scale of it. Is there any way of separating these two functions. Or when you rotate that your able to lock the scale so it doesn't change?

  10. For teaching (math, biology), it would be great to improve the math geometry mode like this:

    line types: dotted, dashed, solid for graphs etc.

    building an circle / rectangle etc. by fixing the center / edges.
    (radius for example) and enable to draw curved lines in geometry mode.
    or at least just like notability put the edges of an rectangle in the right position

    may be an interface to geogebra.

  11. Great App!!!
    I use the Zoom Windows to write notes. I encode items like reminders and events with title, date time, list name, and people using delimiters such as '#today$Buy some milk€Shopping' for a reminder or '$Risk meeting for ProjectX#23/7/18t12h30-13h00@Me;Email.address@domain.com' for an event. I then select the writing using the Lasso Tool to convert to text. I then share this text with Workflow extensions I have created which parses the examples into a reminder or event etc. It works great ;-)
    A long-shot... but... Could you create a button which lassos the area between the top and bottom…

    Definitely a very interesting idea but quite complex and probably only relevant for very tech-savvy power users. We’re not sure but maybe it is already doable using Shortcuts, as other apps can read the converted text.

  12. I'd like to be able to design elements in a vector based app like Graphics and then use them in GoodNotes without having to convert them to pixel-images first.

  14. When selecting text with the lasso tool, you should be able to choose to either resize or rotate. It is very hard to do one of the options individually in the current setup with the resize/rotation combo button, especially with geometrical shapes that shouldn’t change its size even a millimetre but i want to rotate. (I linked a very simple example as well. As you can see, when rotating using the current rotate/resize combo button, the size isn’t 100% the same anymore)

    Basically just add an option to rotate without changing size please

  16. Handwriting recognition Updates:

    Handwriting Recognition Trainer --- I don't have the neatest writing (especially when i'm writing quickly) and a lot of the time words cannot be recognised. The already amazing Handwriting recognition could be improved and more accessible to everyone if you add a function that will allow you to train GoodNote's Handwriting Recognition to pickup your own handwriting.
    (e.g. This could be an optional trainer where you write a page of words and you can make recognition corrections that are remembered [similar to abbyy fine reader], OR an on the fly correction option)

  17. It would be great to be able to use predefined and custom graphic stamps to annotate a document. I'm thinking 'Rejected!' or "Approved'

  20. Nowadays it is becoming popular in the world to learn Ukrainian language. I propose to add Ukrainian to the list of languages. It is a language of the Cyrillic family, I think it would be easy to do on the basis of the Russian language.
