  1. This feature is the ultimate tool to make GoodNotes 5 'the' complete notes app.

    If these features were to be added, then it would be tremendously high ranking and even better than MS Notes and other famous apps. After 2 years on Campus my personal experience is that most students enjoy using GN5, rather MS apps. The most asked for question in my class is if they will add 'this' feature, because then it would make it complete and is quite decisively when it comes to math and physics.

    I am sure that this feature would excel as it is…

  2. Laser pen .....
    Doing rough Work with laser pen on document is good as a part of learning process
    But the only drawback is it gets vanished too soon i suggest Good notes team to atleast increase its disappearing time to 5- 6 seconds instead of existing 1-2 second when apple pencil is lifted up from screen :)

  8. Display highlighter colours as how they appear on the page of the notebook when used. I can never guess how the highlight colour will actually show up when I select it.

  9. When dragging symbolic links pointing to some PDF Files into the GN Window on the Mac, it simply does nothing, not even an error message. Dragging the PDF files works, but then they are imported with other names. Like other Unix-programs, GN should treat symbolic links the same as it does files.

  10. In the screenshot below I was linking the pages of my weekly readings for a class. I had the beginning of each week in the outline and wanted to access them by clicking on the text at the beginning like a table of contents. I had to link them by having the outline open on the side then scrolling to find the page on the other menu. I think it would be more efficient to just have the option to see bookmarked and outline drop a like and comment if you agree.

  14. Within the smart learn function in making flachcards, priority customisation function would be beneficial in improving the learning the ability of the flashcards. Give us the option to choose which flashcards should take priority within the smart learning instead of the flashcards showing at random.

  17. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I’ve been experiencing significant issues with the audio recording feature after restoring my data using an iCloud backup. Since the restoration, my audio recordings no longer sync properly with my notes. For example, when I play recordings at 2x speed, only the audio accelerates while the notes remain at 1x speed, causing a mismatch between the two. Additionally, the app crashes frequently during playback.

    I’ve seen reports of similar issues from other users as well, so it seems to be a recurring problem. This issue is severely affecting my workflow, and I would appreciate it if this…

  18. When using keyboard function on the menu bar I can only change the style and formatting to the pre-set styles. I would like to have the ability to change Font size, Font style (Helvatica, Arial, etc.) I can do this on the Pen menu but not on the keyboard menu.

  19. Would like for programs like Launcher Pro and others to launch the app without the app believing you are trying to upload a file. This creates an error every time I launch Goodnotes from Launcher on my iPad.

  20. Wäre super, wenn man die Seitenränder individuell einstellen könnte, damit es auch mit den Vorgaben von Universitäten übereinstimmt. (Z.b. für Abgaben)
