  1. Add a magnetic help to make it easier to draw tables

    Also force a smooth thickness when drawing a shape (to avoid what I got in the picture)
    Finally, make it easier to draw regular straight shapes, as I often get ellipses instead of rectangles

    We’re happy to announce that the update 5.6.0 that we released today adds an improved shape recognition including the option to hold at the end of a line to make a perfect shape, shape selection, and curve drawing. It further improves the recognition of circles and squares and adds back the ability to draw shapes with the highlighter.

  2. Wenn man mehrere Bilder eingefügt und richtig angeordnet hat und nun doch noch Text o.ä. ergänzt werden soll, sollte man alle Bilder gleichzeitig verschieben können, sodass sich an der Anordnung nichts ändert

    Multiple objects on the page can be selected with the lasso tool. The image tool can only select one image at a time. We recommend tapping and holding on the lasso tool icon in the toolbar and disable both other options besides “images” for the best effect.

  3. Do draw graphs without having squiggly lines. For maths, economics, physics etc.

  4. Trying to draw a straight line in "shape mode" is very difficult.

    It keeps thinking you are drawing some polygon, and doesn't produce a straight line.

    There should be a separate tool for absolute : lines, circle, square, etc

  5. I would like the ability to see multiple pages of my PDF on one screen. Not two pages from separate documents, but two pages of the same document, much like you can with Adobe Acrobat on desktop. I'm trying to bring my planner into the digital world, and it's a bit frustrating to only view one page at a time.

  7. Dear GoodNotes staff,

    first let me congratulate with for your impressive app. It is definitely the best note taking app available. I am writing from Italy, where as you may know, we are in middle on the Covid19 outbreak. For this reason we are preparing to start teaching online.

    In this regards, my suggestion is the following: via cable connection allow Mac app to project the iPad app. In this way the iPad can be used as a whiteboard to share in the videoconference. The cable connection is important in order to optimize the network. Indeed, there many students connected…

  8. I’d love to be able to insert my lecture slides into a notebook and have a page of note paper beside it to take my own notes along with the slides. Even if slide contents had to be shrunk a bit, I’d love to have note paper beside them.

  9. Hi Goodnotes Team,
    As like many others, I use my iPad, iPhone and Mac interchangeably for my school and education. It would be really convenient if you could make a Mac version of GoodNotes 5.

    P.S. We would also appreciate if Family Sharing was on. :)

  10. Make app compatible with Mac so that GoodNotes can operate similar to OneNote. Sometimes when I am trying to write a paper of do other assignments, It would be more convenient if I could view my notes on my laptop as well

  11. Add a paper size that is the same as the Moleskine XL (7.5” x 9.5”). This seems the closest to the various 11” iPads and would allow a one to one scaled replacement of my favorite notebook size.

  14. At the shape tool: while writing in shape tool mode the frame isn't equal like goodnotes 4 (you can see what I mean at the video)

  15. Overall, this is a good app to take notes. However, there’s one thing that bothers me all the time. I have to import every single file one by one and it wastes time. Hope it will be able to import multiple files soon.

  17. I use GoodNotes 4 to lecture in large classrooms.

    I had hoped to use it today, but when I fired up GoodNotes 5, and attached an external display to my iPad, the output didn't hide the user interface!

    Please, please, bring that feature back! I was really excited to use GoodNotes 5 for my lectures, but I'm stuck with 4 until this is a feature.

    Thank you for making an excellent product!
