  1. When buying paper notebooks the most common page designs are:

    • lines
    • grid SIZE: medium
    • grid SIZE: small

    Please make a template for a small grids, as they are extremely helpful for STEM students. Could even be used by artists by using the template for their creations and later on changing the template t blank.

  2. On dark paper when you highlight after writing, the highlighter goes over the pen instead of under, which is bothersome. Would prefer if y'all made it so that the default is highlight goes under pen no matter what the color of the paper is.

  6. Add a "Duplicate" item to the selection pop-up menu so one can duplicate a selection with one tap instead of having to first select copy, then press-and-hold to show the pop-up menu, then select paste.

    The duplicated selection’s position could be determined by available canvas space or simply be shown slightly overlapping the original selection.

    I’ve attached an image showing the desired behaviour.

  7. It has been long time since GoodNotes announced on Twitter that they are planning to bring the app on different platforms but there is no app for Windows and android after years.

    If you can’t sync to Windows and android using iCloud please use Google Drive or any other third-party cloud service and please bring app to Windows, android and Web. Microsoft has already achieved this way earlier and should not be difficult for you as well.

    Every time I brought up this issue, you guys give same reason that you are looking for good engineers, is it the case…

  9. I use the app to teach mathematics and computer science lectures to college students in online mode. One very important feature that is missing at present is that students have to use their attention to determine WHERE on the slide or notebook I am presently writing (i.e. they need to determine where new writing is showing up). Whereas, in a physical classroom, it's easy to see where the professor is and where in the blackboard he/she is writing or modifying a diagram. It would be nice if one could have a big red arrow show up wherever I am writing…

  10. I've been using GoodNotes 5 since it had been launched. I found that my handwriting was not as good as in Notability. The ink in GoodNotes 5 seems to lag. I feel like it tries to bend my stroke all the time and I'm quite annoying this. I've tried to set the pressure sensitivity to low, medium and high, however, it stills bending everytime. So I have to write slower in order to make a beautiful handwriting and sometimes it wastes a lot of time!

    Ps. I've used GoodNotes 4 before too. The GoodNotes 4 doesn't have this problem.

  11. Add a list on top of the list view to be able to filter folders and documents in the current list quickly.

    Search feature does not search for folder names, only documents.

    Thank you in advance!

  13. When you select a paper template of any size e.g. A4, letter, etc. by default have the paper fill the screen width so it's not necessary to expand it. I can double-tap the paper template and it fits screen size but having it fit without double-tap would save so much time when you change from portrait to landscape and back again. Thanks. PS Notability has this feature.

  14. after I have quickly noted and scribbled something I would like to order some stuff afterwards, sort and make it more readable. For example, write headings thicker. Currently I have to erase what I wrote, choose a thicker pen and write again. It would be cool to be able to change the width of the lines afterwards.

  16. The flash card studying window on a mac is not using the screen size. The window on an iMac is so small that the cards are only barely readable even if the application is opened as a full screen window.

  17. I love the feature that if you draw a freehand line and keep your pen on the screen then it snaps to a straight line. But sometimes I draw/write something complicated and leave the pen down too long by mistake. I then have to erase and start again. It would be nice to be able to undo the snapping to a straight line and return to whatever I originally drew rather than return to before I started drawing.

  18. Make scanned documents or photos of handwriting able to be manipulated or changed to editable features on phone apps. Make photo or document scan able to be rotated and cropped like photo file. This should be easy stuff to setup.

  20. Trello etc are great for collaboration, tracking etc. In Trello I can add typed notes and see into linked Dropbox folders. Is it possible for GoodNotes to work with Trello and link named notes to Trello cards?
