  1. 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.

  2. It would be very useful to insert a function that, after selecting an equation written by hand with the pen, using the lazo tool, recognizes this and calculates it automatically.

  3. 建议增加一个“组“的功能,具体如下。把两个文件绑定为一组的功能,就是说AB两个文件,将他俩弄成一组。可以实现同时打开与关闭的功能

  4. I would like to have GoodNotes keep the page-zoom as I had when I changed from GoodNotes to another app on my Ipad Pro. Now the page will zoom out again if I switch from GoodNotes to another app and back. Or if I switch between 2 GoodNotes windows

  5. The document scan post processing for taking pictures is really good but I commonly take pictures of my notes to insert them into goodnotes using image insert because document scan creates a new page unnecessarily. Would it be possible to implement the post processing to any image after having taken the photo? Or even making it possible to insert images that get post processing using camera insert?

    Did an example of what it would look like by cropping the result from document scan below and comparing to what the camera gets.

  6. "Notability", "Noteshelf", and "Planner for ipad" apps have their own official stores where we can find sticky notes, arrows, templates, planners, stickers, and notebook covers. There are also a variety of sticky notes, arrows, templates, planners, stickers, and notebook covers. If you don't have the time to customize our own notebook, it's very convenient to buy directly from the store and use it right away.

  7. 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.

  8. I suggest to develop a tool to quickly increase or decrease white spaces in between text lines to add or delete content in the middle without manually shifting the lower contents up or down. this is very efficient especially If I have multiple pages. so all content move across the pages seamlessly.

  9. Adjust the minimum magnification limit of zoom. The current situation is that many pages can be magnified at a high magnification, but they cannot zoom very little. Almost only one page of content can be displayed on the screen. It is very inconvenient when turning pages. I hope it can continue to zoom out so that multiple pages can be displayed vertically on the same screen, as shown in the figure below.

  10. It would be nice if I could upload, say, a text document with one word or sentence on each line, and have Goodnotes automatically produce a deck of flashcards with blank space for the question and each line of text as the answer. (Or a two-column spreadsheet with one column of question text and one column of answer text.)

  11. A lot of helpful diagrams are from imported from my photos, having the ability to search words that appear on a photo would be helpful. It really sucks having to go through every single folder and picture just to try and find the one I am looking for.

  12. A small bar that can be positioned around the edge of the screen. I use the Goodnotes app to take notes during Uni lectures and I find myself using the brush pen for titles and key info, and ball pen for the notes. When you have the app on half screen so that the powerpoint takes up one side you lose the access to the quick "one tap" colour selection.

    The ideal quick bar would be able to move to either sides of the document you are taking notes on. You would be able to had a set style and…

  14. Have the ability to zoom and have a part of the screen be the outside of the document, so that you could rest your hand, whilst editing the edge of the document.

    E. g. the second screenshot is from a table I was filling out and when I got to the rightmost column I couldn't write in it as easily as in the other ones. I am right-handed, so in those screenshots the area is on the right side of the page, but this should work for left-handed people as well, if the area was on the left-hand side of…

  15. Hi,
    I would love a feature that would allow me to create a static "lock" on my screen
    -only allowing for the pen to write no zoom or movement of that sort
    Simply resembling a static sheet of paper

  16. I´m using the option flash cards on the ipad frequently, but it would be really great to improve this tool for usage on laptops. The cards, and shown answers, are really small, so its often impossible to check if you´ve got everything right, especially when the cards are rather full and the textsize is small.

  19. Here is my issue: I am writing a document with a lots of design and art work. Suppose I have filled page “A” with lot of content non sequentially. Now I’ve moved on to next page “B”. Accidentally I draw somethings on page B. Then as per my habit I tap undo couple of times, now if unknowingly do more undos than the changes on page B. It undos changes on page A as well. If I don’t notice it then I’ve lost last content put on page A. If I notice it, then I have to press redo till…
