  1. The text box tool NEEDS to default to a font size and line spacing/placement that works with the default template line widths. Obviously the app focusses on nailing handwriting, but its occasionally useful to drop in a quote from another app or throw in some hastily-typed notes -especially on the Mac app. Microsoft OneNote is pretty bloated, but it gets typing within a space right. I’d encourage you fine folks to look into more advanced text boxes and tools like bullets/numbers, tables, maybe markdown? -especially as ipad keyboard/mouse setups are becoming more common. Thanks for a fantastic app, and for…

  2. I often print my notes once im done with a unit and because i write on graph paper i have to change the pages back to blank individually which is really tedious. A feature in which you could change the template of the entire notebook would be really useful.

  3. Hello,
    I´m one of the new M1 Ipad Pro user´s and the new Ipad has 8GB of Ram (or 16) and the goodnotes app still can´t have 4 tabs loaded at the same time.

    If I have 3 Tabs open I can swap between them without them loading again but if I open a fourth tab every other tab needs to reload again and that shouldn´t be the case since the new Ipad has way more RAM and so goodnotes should make us of that

  4. Es wäre super, wenn man in Goodnotes Links einfügen könnte und diese dann auch mit dem Hyperlink verbunden wären. Gerade bei Zusammenfassungen könnte man so die Quelle verlinken.

  5. I'm often reviewing older notes on previous pages, then scrolling back to the last page. It would be nice to have a button dedicated to the last page of the notebook so getting there is easier. The Go to Page feature on the more button is close, but it defaults to the page you're currently on, which doesn't make a lot of sense. What if it defaulted to the last page instead? This seems like the far more likely use case and would be a simple fix

  7. Recognize handwritten header and set or suggest it as the filename, so i don't have a pile of 'Untitled' documents in my library. Just a little convenience feature.

  8. When you're trying to copy anything on GoodNotes 5 by selecting on the lasso tool and select copy. It "always" take a few moments to load, even though the item size is very small. I don't understand why I need to wait for the program to load every time. It's very annoying!
    Ps. GoodNotes 4 and Notability do not have this problem. When I'm trying to copy, it processes instantaneously.

  9. Hey there,

    I am using Good Notes 5 since about one week.
    I'm left handed and I'm asking myself if it's possible to freely align the paper.
    I would like to put it more to the right side of my iPad in order to write better.

    Is it possible to freely put the paper wherever you want? At the moment it sticks to the middle of the iPad.

  11. Please add Duplicate. Otherwise, we are stuck with Copy, then long click to show the Paste menu, then clicking Paste.

  13. By pressing and holding without drawing, it temporarily changes to the lasso tool.
    After deselecting, return to the original tool.
    I sometimes want to correct the position of text while handwriting.

  15. Dear GoodNotes team,
    I really love your app. I’m a student who started using an iPad for school stuff during the pandemic. Since i started using GoodNotes i fell in love with the powerfull simplicity of the app. There is just one feature i would love to see added.
    I would really enjoy the option to create pages who are as long as I’d like them to be. My idea is a pages that can fit a whole topic and you never painfully have to tun pages during writing. Once you are done with the entry you can cut of…

  18. Hi there,
    1) In LiquidText, you have the ability to create links not only between different pages of the same book but across different books in the app. I want GoodNotes to implement it in pdf textbooks and digital handwriting notes and it will make study and research very easy.
    2) In LiquidText again there is a feature in which you pinch to collapse the pages so that you could compare the material between two different pages of the same book. It’s awesome and it will make studies very easy and productive. So please work on it
    3) Please either…

  19. The paste keyboard shortcut is not activated(command + V).

  20. 我希望能夠在iPad橫向放置的時候,能夠一次顯示兩頁的資料。新增這個功能讓我們可以自行選擇及設定。
    這樣在瀏覽樂譜的時候將會方便很多!!!
