  3. It would be interesting to have a feature where we could enlarge the sheet we are working on or writing. Often the content is large, for example: mind maps, summaries, planning, action plans, and we are limited to having to break the idea to fit everything.

    If we could enlarge the sheet, fitting more content into it.

  4. When searching in korean, the results are not conveient. For example, when I search the word "굿노트", I expect the pages which include "굿노트". But Goodnote shows me all the pages which have "굿" and "노" and "트" separately. This example is same in English : searching "good", then result is all the pages which have "g", "o", "d". This means Goodnote can't understand Korean words perfectly. So searching function is useless for me when I search in Korean.

  6. the text boxes system is outdated, unconfortable and breaks the "note-taking flow". Add tap & type as, for example, notability, or a similar function.

  7. It was possible in GoodNotes 4 to draw very thin lines, 1 pixel size.
    I often use GoodNotes by beginning to write something on one sheet with the stylus, then select all and reduce the size, then zoom in to write more things on the page.
    On GoodNotes 4 the smallest width (0.5) was the same when reducing.
    On GoodNotes 5, the smallest width is too thick, after reducing the new lines are much more thicker than the reduced ones.
    This was a must for me in GoodNotes 4.
    Please please please :)

  8. 1.In the Zoom Window, eraser, frequently used color, backward, etc. have disappeared. It is annoying because the move is long.

    2.After all, it does not seem to support two page views at a time.

    3.No highlighter in Drawing Shapes. Drawing shape with Highlighters are only linear ...
    At Goodnote 4, i can draw circle, triangle, etc with highlighter.

    4.There is still no changing the template at once ....
    When I write i use grid and i print i with only white page.
    I have to change it every single page.

    5.On the preview page, version 4 shows the current page…

  10. There are multiple features that I used daily from Goodnotes 4 that are non-existent in Goodnotes 5. I know you said that the Airplay display features are coming but since I only used Goodnotes while Airplaying this is a big deal for me.

    Also there is no option for importing/exporting to other cloud based storage (google drive, OneDrive for business, Dropbox). I used these with the automatic backup feature (also non-existent) everyday in my classroom. I am very disappointed with the release of Goodnotes 5 as you said that you took all the great parts of Goodnotes 4 and added…

  11. Please add the keyboard icon to tool customization.
    Keyboard icon should be easily accessible. Many people like to enter data with a keyboard and switch to it quickly.

  12. search option for selecting location! when moving a file-doc, I often will not know the location of the file or folder to which i want to move. it is too time-consuming to search by clicking on folders to find the location I’m looking for. it would be great if there was a search window within the select, a location window!

  13. Please provide a line spacing adjustment bar in the templates sections... like I can adjust the line spacing in the squared and lined templates.. or add more options with varied line spacing like there is in lined tempelate .. like ruled narrow ruled wide. . Similarly add more tempelate for each but it is better if a custom line spacing bar is given for each tempelate so that I can adjust it myself

  14. Why did you change the copy and paste? It takes way too long to copy and paste an item now. I hate how it asks me a question each time I simply want to paste an item. I don’t understand this change. The question of “allow paste”should just be a setting you can pick outside of the regular function. I get behind in my note taking because i constantly have to answer the copy and paste question. The function was so much better before. Seriously considering different note taking app because of the tool changes. We were paying for a…

  15. Bring back the ability to:

    Place an element that was saved from a text box
    Edit the text box
    Save it as a new element

    This feature was available in GN5. Please bring it back. It makes it easy to expand my text box based element library.

  16. When using sticky notes, it is inconvenient that the user name is displayed automatically.

    While showing names can be helpful during collaboration with two or more people on a shared document, it becomes distracting when the document is used individually. I often use sticky notes like Post-it notes for personal annotations and quick notes, and in this case, the automatic display of my name feels unnecessary and disruptive.

    It would be very helpful to have an option to toggle the automatic display of names on or off, depending on whether the document is being used collaboratively or individually.

  17. Please give an option to anchor toolbars. I see lots of comments about the regular pencil tool bar and I agree with those too.

    But I want to draw attention to the tool bar that pops up when editing a text box. It move from above the text box to below the text box when the keyboard comes and goes making it annoying when it pops up right under my finger that was about to tap on another element etc. This UI UX makes it difficult to do anything fast.

    Please give the option to dock the text editor toolbar…

  18. When writing a cross a solid thick line , some separation between the handwriting and the thick line is needed so for example the white outline around a dark letter will visually separate the handwriting from a line behind it. Outlined handwriting does not seem to be supported as of now.

  19. For pianist or musicians who often notates their music scores and need VOICE RECORDING BASIC FUNCTIONS.

    (These are competitive with notability recording feature, i really like goodnotes’ files organisation and hope to stick with it with upgrades…)

    1. Ability to trim / edit / split recordings

      • for Musicians
      • for students
      • To record certain progress/lectures on certain topics
    2. Ability to have voice record LINK on notebook page itself

      • so as to not scroll through recordings list, hassle to find audio…
      • Example: part of my notebook chapter topic is hand anatomy, the page can implement an temporary/permanent button to play the audio assigned…

  20. I suggest adding a widget/tool option in side bar . This could include tools like a browser, AI tools, graph creators, calculators, and even custom or local AI tools. Any output from these tools shouldbe directly importable into notes. Also give us an option where, users could create and publish tools, and others could use or buy them as needed. This would make GoodNotes a complete all-in-one productivity app.
    Hey guys upvote it please .to have soon this feature.
