  2. As a user, I’d like to be able to delete a page I’m on without having to back out to the thumbnails view.

    While “clear page” is useful, “delete page” would remove the annoyance of having to back out as I’m deciding page by page which to keep.

    An alternative would be allowing zoom in the thumbnails view so I can better see what’s on the page.

  3. A column view like on MacOS or the coming iPadOS. This increase the complete overview of all the documents. Adding some tags would also be nice.

  4. Goodnotes 5:
    Thumbnail view of the various notebooks as well as the thumbnail view of the pages within a notebook contains a lot of space between the thumbnails - wasting a lot of display area, and making it difficult to read the thumbnail content.
    So: Use much less space between the thumbnails, and make them larger (check noteshelf 2, but make it even better i.e. with even less space than there!).

  5. Most of other viewers or handwriting app supports automatic Fit to Width and Fit to Page(Height) when pinch to zooming in/out page.
    It will be awesome if GoondNotes 5 have this feature too!
    For now it’s quite bothersome to zoom in/out to fit to width or page manually.

  10. As a student/foreign language learner, I want to show/hide keywords or explanations from my written notes, so that I could review and recite the keywords/explanations.

    As a UI designer, I want to hide/reveal annotations, so that I could a) differentiate the annotating remark from the wireframe / structured notes and b) present notes (to myself and others) with clarity.

    I believe note-reviewing is an essential part of the note-taking experience, I try to be more proactive to learn through my notes. Some alternative apps I used are margin notes 3, and liquid text. Margin note 3 in particular, has a…

  11. If I draw a note and then use Handoff to get it onto my Mac and then try and copy it into Pages it always tries to convert it to text. I just want the drawing. There should be two copy modes, one for drawing, one for text.

  14. The Battery Drain problem is enhanced sooo much on GoodNotes5. Draining with twice the speed of version 4. Even connecting ipad Pro to my macbook will still result in battery percentage going downhill. With less than 4 hours it consumed 15% power of last 10 days. While GoodNotes4 with 22 hours only consumed 50%.

  16. Unreal APP, been using for ages, can someone PLEASE add a "ARE YOU SURE" when you clear a page. The button is so close to "GO TO PAGE" Button, if you inadvertently push the clear page button in error trying to use the go to page function there is no second chance and no way to retrieve the data.VERY PAINFUL.

  18. The cutout tool should work over pages. If I'm cutting out a text or object on page one, then vertically scroll a bit down to page 2 I should be able to move the marked object over the pages to place it on the new one without copying it every time just for rearrange purposes.
