  1. After selecting something, you have to tap inside the lasso area to get the options menu to open (to let you take screenshot, resize, etc). This menu should open immediately after selecting something so you don't have to tap again. (This is how the menu on Noteshelf works)

  3. The dotted lines of the lasso tool should be one of the things that is invisible in presentation mode.

  4. For formatting reasons, I would love to be able to keep my images, tables etc. in the same spot. Even a 'send to back' 'bring forward' option. It's so difficult at the moment.

  5. This idea is good for when using the Mac and easier to keep te typed documents with the handwritten documents with our having to convert everything over to GoodNotes as a pdf (which can't be edited)

  7. When you are creating a new document in goodnotes 5, all pages have the same size /relation, but if you import a new page there´s no option to adapting its size or relation to the other pages of the document and seems out of place. It would be ideal to be able to just have some options of this type.

  8. When zoomed out, the cursor for the pen becomes a plus sign, which is not very easy to write with... It would be easier if the cursor were just a dot when zoomed in or when zoomed out.

  9. Would be great, if you can create a bookmark, which you can write on and slide in like a real book mark in a journal.

    Check Video 12 on the following page.

  11. Just like it's possible to scroll all the way up/down by tapping once at the top/bottom of the screen, it'd be handy to have the ability to do the same thing on any notebook.

  12. PLEASEEEEEEEE make the 'Two finger tap, Three finger tap' undo/redo an option for users, I am constantly undoing/redoing things on accident just by writing. It is SO FRUSTRATING because I have been using the actual 'undo' button in the toolbar for years and am so used to reaching for it. all of the recent updates are GREAT, except that you don't have the option to 'opt-out' for certain changes.

  13. Hallo, mir würde ein Feature welches den geschriebenen Text ausspricht sehr gefallen (wie beim Google Übersetzer). Dadurch könnte ich mein Lernen sehr viel verbessern in dem ich es vorgelesen bekomme.

    Wäre es möglich dieses Feature in Zukunft einzubauen?

  14. Just by a slight movement, the line won’t be straight when I highlight some words in a text. Please make it possible to add a feature where we can select just do have completely straight highlighting lines or freestyle highlighting.

  15. when i mark a flashcard as unknown it automatically re-shows it to me, which isn't very helpful considering i just saw it. it would be more beneficial if it was like quizlet and showed the unknown cards a few cards afterwards so that there's time to "forget it" and recall it again.

  16. I can't use it on my iMac because it is an older version but I would truly appreciate a website version with sync capacity even if it didn't carry some of the app features

  17. It would be great to see recent files/notes I’ve saved in GoodNotes in the Files app on iPad and iPhone and Finder on Mac as well as the Spotlight on Mac to make search easier. Thanks!

  18. When I scan a multi-page document through GoodNotes or import a scanned document, the saved quality is not sufficient, so that - in contrast to Notify - not all text passages are found when searching.

    This is clear if you look at the file sizes between Notify and GoodNotes during the backup.

  20. Love the copy / paste function with the lasso. But often the lasso does not catch everything of a written line, some little fragments are not copied. So I have to go back and set the lasso again to catch all fragments. Very nerving. It would be great if you could do copy / paste with the eraser too. Meaning everything from your last erase will be automatically copied to the clipboard. Then you can tap&hold to paste with the regular pencil, just like pasting with the lasso.
