  3. In smaller iPads toolbar and document tabs take lot of working space.
    If toolbar can be shifted to left side of screen in landscape mode it will be of great help.

  4. I would like to use good notes as my only application for writing, taking notes and creating documents. It is not possible because the typing option does not run as smoothly as "pages" or "microsoft word". Please consider making good notes an application that can be used for creating and editing documents with simple typing.

  5. If you want to add some extra points to your note, but you don't have that much space left, you can use the “insert note” feature, where a small icon can be placed anywhere in the note. When the icon is touched a small note pops up , where one can write. This feature is already there in other pdf annotating apps. I have attached screenshots of another app.

  6. Sometimes I copy text from Evernote into GoodNotes, but it's too long to fit on one page. Instead of continuing onto the next page, it disappears beneath it. Please make text boxes capable of spanning multiple pages.

  7. The new function is great! I think however we could take better advantage of the space by making landscape cards that fill the screen and flip to reveal the answer, since it is very hard to read half page cards if they are small, especially if we can’t zoom in on them

  8. Long sentences I write curve down when using blank pages or creating flash cards. I’d like to enable an option to auto-straighten or auto-align my sentences.

  9. It would be great if you can use the apple pencil in studying mode to take notes for more complex answers or drawings.
    You could also use this feature to learn the structure of scientific models by leaving some information out at the front of the flashcard, fill them in and then compare with the solution after flipping the card. It would also be possible to put tasks like "Draw the xy-model" on the front page and the corrrect model on the back of the flashcard.
    To implement this solution a bigger display of the card would be helpful.

  12. I’m learning a tonal language and would love to be able to create separate recordings for my notes. One Note has audio recording ability, but it’s ONE single clip. I’d like to be able to write a word or phrase and put a sound clip associated with it.

    A wolf sounds like :
    A coyote sounds like:

    Just make this feature already = I see request for recording that is 9 years old ....you’re so close to a perfect product

  13. When I use the rotate button for a photo, it is difficult, if not impossible to avoid resizing the photo as well. I often overlay maps to show size comparisons with unfamiliar places to ones I am familiar with. I would also love the ability select marks and drawings and rotate them, again, without resizing. I could then trace items on a map like a lake, and rotate and move them other areas on the map to compare sizes

  15. Please add in more pens and highlighter options like rectangle or round end. Also, please add in color palettes to the pens and highlighters in case we want to design our notes in a certain color scheme. Also the eraser is annoying so please change it to erase pixels.

  16. Add option to change page template of entire document (pages) all at once.

    I use "squared paper" template when I write notes. It helps in maintaining a good hand writing experience. But to review/read, a white background feels much better to go through. Also while exporting it as pdf, blank background is better to read with. It very tiresome to change individual template of 200+ pages individually.

  17. Could you add a top bottom split view similar to left right split view. This would be a great functionality to have for taking notes. This functionality is already available in other apps such as Notes Writer. It is a great help to have a top and bottom split, specially if you are using smaller iPad such as IPad Air or Mini which do not have large display to compare full page side by side. In top bottom split view we can look at PDF/ Book on top view and take down notes in lower screen.

  18. GN5 has three tabs to find documents: Documents, Search and Favorite. It would be very convenient to add a new tab to open recently used documents.

  20. I am studying electrical engineering and i have to draw a lot of shapes and i struggle with the drawing of rectangles and lines a lot because they never seem to align where i want them to be. Often rectangles are made into circles because i drew them to quick and so on. I wish there was a feature like OneNote where i can just drag a rectangle into the note and resize it. Arrows at the end of then line seems to work randomly and not graduated.

    Because of all of this I am constantly looking for other note…
