  1. I need to save images into MS Windows word / desktop. For this I 'Export' the GoodNotes5 doc into PDF Editable file. However when trying to save images in a MS Windows PDF Editor , no PDF Editor recognises the images as objects (I tried four different PDF editors), and they cannot see layers, or image objects. As a result images cannot be copied and paste directly in a different application like Word.

  2. It could be very useful to have a tool that helps you to draw accurate curves for math graphs on a cartesian plane.

  4. In the latest update to Goodnotes, the shape tool doesn't easily create standard shapes, especially rectangles/squares. E.g., if the shape is drawn too quickly and the corner points are not even, the resulting shape is an irregular four-sided polygon instead of a rectangle with 90 deg corners and parallel sides. I would imagine the need for rectangles is much greater than irregular four-side polygons. Otherwise, fantastic product that I've recommended to anyone considering a tablet for note-taking.

  5. When selecting text or highlight lines and changing the colours, only the pen color presets are available. It would be great if there was a tab to switch to the highlighter color presets.

  6. Line styles can give more meaning to charts and graphs and are so important to note taking I find it so strange that they are not available yet. It's a very basic yet very important feature.

  8. Allow me to move the paper/canvas freely so I don't have to take my hand off the glass when writing at the edge. This is only an issue in the opposite direction of the scroll. My workflow is up/down so I have limited access to the right edge because the page will rubberband back to center.

  10. Ability to condense power point slides into one, in order to alleviate the storage usage of the document but also to make finding the slides much more streamlined.

    Meaning multiple slides(3 or more) would be put on one page in a slightly smaller version of the original in order to avoid having to scroll through lets say 90 slides or more.

  11. The Problem: When I'm taking notes I'm bothered by reaching the right end side of the piece of "digital" paper I'm writing on currently, because of the hight of the iPad Pro I'm taking the notes with I'm forced to move my hand off the pad to write on the right hand side of the screen.

    The possible Solution: Add an on/off toggle to make it possible to move the paper digitally out of the screen, such that for example half my piece of paper is moved out of the left side of the screen and I can place my…

  14. Allow the user to see the final writing magnification dynamically as the Mag box size is being changed, so that they can choose a consistent size.

  15. It would be nice if it were possible to edit images in Good notes, because sometimes I have some dirt on the scanned document due to scanning and I cannot remove it.

    I also often have the problem that I want to remove something that was previously visible on the document I scanned.

    Please add a function to edit images and scanned documents to make this app even more perfect!

  16. Would be super helpful to be able to view notes in a web browser. there are times when i don't have access to my ipad and need to see something i wrote previously don't need editing capabilities, just ability to view. since notes are stored in the cloud hopefully having this would be straightforward.

  18. As of now, I love the highlighting tool. I love how you can highlight in straight lines and how the highlighter automatically appears behind your writing or text, and doesn’t alter it’s colour.
    However, on all the pictures you post on your website etc, all the hand drawn diagrams are beautifully coloured in.
    THIS IS NOT REALISTIC.
    To get a uniform line, you cannot lift your pen off your screen, otherwise the highlighter’s colour « builds up » to become darker.
    This is very annoying because it makes coloring in simple shapes very difficult.
    If you go outside the lines, you have…

  19. One note has the option to lasso a section of text and then click on a preset pen to change the text to the thickness and color of the preset pen. If I accidentally write something in the wrong thickness, I would have to rewrite it on GN which is a pain.

  20. Añadir notas al margen (margin notes), para hacer comentarios sobre las notas originales por favor .
