The shape tool is amazing no doubt but it still lacks some major shapes. If you try to draw a semi circle by a quick stroke it converts it to a straight line, same goes for an arc. This is difficult while taking maths lectures as it requires a lot of shapes. Some shapes that don't work are: semi circle, arc, sector, parabola.

Every time I color cause I make a lot of my diagrams on this app it takes so so much time to fill it in. Please add a fill function but not like the existing one where it highlights the area, one where it is the same color as the border around it. PLEASE and ty!

I love using the lasso tool to move my handwriting around on the page. I also use the vertical scrolling feature to write my notes, but when I want to move text from one page to the next within the lasso tool, I can’t just drag it on. I have to copy/paste to the next page then cut or erase the text from the previous page. It’s a small thing, but a change that would improve work flow.

Hello,
I am using Notability as well as Goodnotes 5..
I want to emphasize on the point that you should make it possible to insert videos in the notes itself or at least give an option of inserting hyperlinks to youtube or websites.
It becomes so much easy for us to click the link and open it there itself..
U need to seriously think on this..

Since iOS 13 there is the possibility to hold and drag the scroll bar on the right to scroll. This does not seem to be the case in GoodNotes 5. It‘s a very small but useful feature to get a quick glance at the document or finding a page in a big document. Once you get used to it in other apps like OneNote, you start to miss it in GoodNotes 5.

I usually keep two notebooks open on my iPad in tabs. I write in thin black on one notebook, and the other notebook I write on an index card template in a thick marker like pen setting. Moving between tabs, it would be nice if a notebook would remember the last pen setting used inside it. I need to switch back and forth quickly, and having to change pen type, color and thickness every single time gets old fast. Thanks for your great product!

Having a color eye dropper would be super helpful for color-coding info when highlighting or simply writing with a pen!
I also would like to have my custom colors saved such that any color I save on the app on my phone is saved so I can refer to it and use the same color when I use GoodNotes on my computer. Thanks!!

Good notes should include a ruler and compass. Especially for engineering students like me.

When I import some PDFs their outlines are imported too. I love this feature. I have noticed that when this happens, the outlines have sub-outlines to make navigating the outlines easier.

However, I can not create this in my own GoodNotes outlines. It only works when I import a PDF that already has this structure built into it.

I would like to have a feature in GoodNotes where I can create sub-outlines in my notebooks.

Hallo Goodnotes,

can I insert a link (in my case a youtube link) into a document so that the link opens when I click on it?

If not, is it planned?
It would be very helpful for me.
As a teacher, I plan all my lessons in Goodnotes and like to link to videos on Youtube or other homepages.

Thanks a lot.

Best regards
Steffen

Having the option of changing the whole notebook template with a simple click would be very useful for people who uses a lot of pages with grid template to standardize the writing at first, and wanting to change it to other template for a cleaner look.

In dark mode, switch automatically to dark paper and white ink, and revert back automatically to light paper and black ink when in light mode.

In the tool bar there are only 3 available colours to select from
Adding more colours to the toolbar would make more efficient and fluent writing

It would be great to be able to select a fill and stroke color for shapes created.

Currently all folders appear as blue. It would be great to organise folders with different colours (e.g biology- green and maths - red)

This will make my life so much easier

Need ruler for draw parallel line.

I wish there was an option for disabling the layering of the highlighter tool, since sometimes we need to colour diagrams or doodles and it gets impossible to do so with the highlighter because you have to do it correctly in only one stroke. If layering could be disabled, the highlighting would all be in one layer, and colouring in multiple strokes would be uniform and not look overlapped and irregular.

The ability to toggle on and off dark mode and have the paper and ink colors change accordingly.

Selecting dark paper and white ink looks great but is NOT 'dark mode'. When you go to print something created way you either waste a LOT of ink or you have to manually switch paper and ink color on each page.

For reference - Onenote does dark mode perfectly.

It would be good to be able to customise the toolbar since I’m sure there are features that some of us don’t use and could use the space for something else.

• Toggle which icons appear in the toolbar. Personally I never use and will probably never use the in-app camera and presentation mode. It would be great if there was an option to just turn those off.


• Allow the option to have more colour and pen size presets. 3 isn’t enough!


• When the zoom window toolbar finally returns, it would be great to have the same level of customisation.
