  1. Enable more colors and styles for the laser pointer. Also provide a feature that gives the option to keep laser writing on the document longer until dismissed by presenter via erasure or some special triple tap, or even a release button at the top.

  2. 我有一個這樣的想法,在整個頁面中提供內置的一個個小頁面。這些小頁面可以通過添加的按鈕打開,但這又不同與超鏈接。這樣做的好處是可以不影響整個頁面佈局的前提下使筆記更一目瞭然。希望你們能採納我的這個想法,期待您的回復。
    I have an idea to provide built-in small pages in the entire page. These small pages can be opened by adding buttons, but this is different from hyperlinks. The advantage of this is that the notes can be more clear without affecting the layout of the entire page. I hope you can adopt this idea and look forward to your reply.

    The original content of this content is Chinese, and only the original text can express the most accurate meaning.

  3. Just in the last update the ability to use the fountain pen when drawing a shape or straight line has been taken out. (and only ball pen is allowed)

    This is really jarring because it means that suddenly you're drawing a line which is substantially thicker than the text you were writing.

    Also the shapes have lost that sweet, 'organic', 'hand drawn' quality that looked awesome before. The new shapes are sterile.

    Please undo the last update, it looks terrible!

  4. I use GoodNotes a lot to insert pictures of my lectures and make digital notes with pictures and I also use pictures to make digital presentation boards. Every time I insert a new picture, I have to manually adjust the size to match the previous picture that I inserted and it takes a lot of time wasted on unnecessary tasks. I was hoping if your software engineers team could code a feature that would show grids once you are at the exam the same size if the pictures are being placed next to each other on the same page.

  5. I use to have 3 or 4 notebook opened (as tabs), on the iPad when we open Goodnotes we are on the last state (with notebooks already opened), on the Mac each time I open Goodnotes I start with a blank stage, on folder page and nothing opened.

  6. I read the Support comment:
    "The latest update GoodNotes 5.5 is now available on the App Store. While scrolling through your document, you can now see the current page number and the total number of pages in this document. If you don’t like to see the page numbers, you can disable it in Menu > Settings > Document Editing."

    It's great but with this new suggestion I mean ADD as a part of the Notebook on every page, not just when scrolling. This would allow us to easily see the page whether the Notebook is printed. It also can help…

  7. please redesign the „more option“ - window, that the diffrent options aren‘t listed in line and you have to click the leftor right button to see the other options. Please list the diffrent options in vertical way (like in the picture)

  8. The ability to have a function under Export page that not only exports the PDF but also the converted text in the body of an email would be great.

    The Remarkable 2 implements an element of this in one step and also Notes Plus implements this quite well.

    I take copious notes in all my meetings but then send to my PA to action highlighted actions straight after each meeting.

    It’s cumbersome in Good Notes currently, you have all the functionality ... just needs pulling together in one step.

  10. Just like creating unique pen by myself, which will be convenient in particular occasion, instead of setting everyting any time we switch to another occasion.
    It's the same with other tool, but pen is the most important.

  11. I want to be able to use the lasso tool to select images, highlighters or my notes and be able to choose whether they are supposed to be on top or below. Cause if I write something and add an image, the image will cover up my words but if I write after the image it stays as the top layers. So I’ll want to be able to change the layers and it’ll be a lot more organized for me.

  14. This very easy-to-add feature makes the life of PDF readers A LOT EASIER, by rapidly switching between pages when reading and allows them to pass up the annoying scrolling. It is featured by Notability. PLEASE make it happen!

  18. allow us to have more control over how we interact with the app. I'd like to be able to assign user selected tools or actions to gestures on screen and on the apple pencil.

  19. I would love the ability to go back to previous screen or page instead of having to scroll through after clicking a embedded link . For example I use a digital planner and while I’m looking at weekly view I might click Monday for example, thus taking me far away from my weekly page. I then have to swipe through or go up to my bookmarks to get back. A simple gesture or button that’s essentially backs up would be the greatest user friendly improvement .

  20. It would be great, if an imported PDF formular would still be editable. Not just with annotations but with typed text in the recommended type-in boxes
