  1. I often draw all over a page, but then can’t read the text underneath after. There should be a quick and easy way to go back and forth between the unannotated and the annotated page, just like the / button lets you go back and forth between the original and edited photo on Lightroom.

  2. This app can almost do anything. I find myself often sketching out schematics in it. If there were some simple CAD functions such as new lines snapping to an exiting line or junction, or being able to specify the size of the radius of a circle or length of a line so you could draw things to scale. Think of how AMAZING that would be!

  4. Make export work. Currently most exports are lacking some characters, sometimes multiple characters, and different ones in different versions of the file.

  5. Change logged in user:

    Currently I am automatically logged into my Microsoft Account for Work/School. However my notes are on my private account.

    Logging in and out automatically logs you into School account quite rapidly (which can be good in some cases). However it would be beneficial to have a "Change account logged in" option.

    TLDR: Add a change logged in user or stop auto-verification of login of microsoft account to allow one to choose which one you want to log in on.

  7. It would be great if GN had the possibility to have lines in the "zoom" so that handwritten notes can be written straight without having lines in the document itself.

  8. The standard way of using the marker is to draw an ugly form of transparent color above your text. Imagine, you could just recolor the text you have previously written instead with the marker pen in another mode...the standard method of selecting, long pressing and changing color with a menu every time takes soo long. Attached is an image with an example and an icon idea.

  10. When you copy an item and go to paste it again Goodnotes can lag, sometimes up to a minute.

    The issue can occur at anytime but is more prevalent when you are copying something from one page to another in the same document.

    Goodnotes also freezes for up to 30 seconds for no apprent reason every now and then.

    We have 4 I pad

    It appears the delay/lag is occuring while Goodnotes is wrting data to either iCloud, Google Drive or both.

    We have 4 x iPad Pro's running Goodnotes 5 and the issue is present on all 4 devices.

  11. If you have different iCloud accounts you have no way to sync your notes so a log in option on the app would be great rather than just the pay option

  12. Searching the pdf can be more simple. like document by readdle . The bold topics are bold and every matched word along with the line is shown on a defined space.

  13. I have been annoyed whenever draw a rectangle to surround words or sentences or draw a line on Goodnotes 5 on iPad.

    Goodnotes 4 was way better than Goodnotes 5 about Geometric tools.

  14. Gostaria de pedir para acrescentarem as opções de editar as notas adesivas com relação a cores, acrescentar mais formatos de notas adesivas e acrescentarem opções de salvar e abrir formatos no word e power point. Desse modo, ajudará muito os alunos

  15. When using the magnifying option to write notes, it is frustrating to keep moving the box while writing. In the app Notability, the magnifying box would move once the writing reach the end of the box that way the writer can continually write without interruption.This would make taking notes more efficient.

  17. Currently in Windows 11 if you have a laptop that can work in portrait mode, GoodNotes only allows you to view notes only. It would be nice to be able to edit/create notes in portrait mode instead of only in landscape mode when using a windows tablet in portrait mode.

  18. Since the beginning it is only possible to have 3 colours for immediate access while writing. The field where they are would be big enough to host 5 colours, without making the section bigger. It makes the usage way more convenient to be able choosing 2 more colours without having to replace the others in the preselection.
