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.

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.

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.

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

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

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..

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.

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

It’s a bit tedious to switch to the shape tool every time you want to draw e.g. a perfect line. What about having GoodNotes draw a perfect shape when you hold your stroke like in Procreate or Notability? Bonus points when it’s possible to edit the shape size and anchor points.

With the new dark mode, it would be nice to have the highlighter be more visible, it almost becomes invisible on dark paper

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.

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.

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.

It would be grate to have goodnotes on windows and Android. It is a very great app. With a windows or Android devise you are unable to use this one.

It's very uncomfortable that I cannot use highlights in darkpaper. In apple's in-apps (notes, pages etc.) we still can use high quality and colorful highlights even if it's dark paper. Please make more useful highlights in dark paper. I cannot this app because of that problem.

It should be allowed to show two pages of the same notebook at the same time instead of only able to show two notebooks side by side. This allows us to read more at a time, or even draw diagrams that can span two pages.

Need ruler for draw parallel line.
