Have mathematical tools like the ruler, protractor, compass, divider, set square etc. For math students as holding a compass or divider over the ipad would damage the screen.

If I select an area with the lasso, e.g. a math drawing such as a triangle , I want to double it sometimes because I often need it multiple times but right now I have to draw it again because there's no feature to double it. So it would be nice to get the 'double' feature on the lasso tool. This is really needed for all students!

Add the option to make the selection tool rectangular to make it easier and faster to select things that do not overlap with any other elements. Would also make it easier to crop out things e.g. from a Powerpoint presentation.

Something similiar to the selection tool from Notability

Some time I use GoodNotes for test practicing, and I snap screen some test questions to another Note, then writing answers, when I want re-test, I have to use eraser to erase handwriting, cause I want those pic of "Questions" not be erased, so I wonder if you can add a function to filter 'quick erase hole page'
thanks

In GoodNotes 4, the search function within certain folders was very useful.
In GoodNotes 5 it is unfortunately not yet possible to search within a specific folder. Instead, there is only a superordinate direct text search. Is it possible to implement a search in a specific folder?
That would be great!

Please add full screen presentation mode.
Not only during these times of remote meetings, having the possibility to use Goodnotes on the iPad directly is greatly needed.
Thanks!

The lack of a dark theme unless we get system wide dark mode is a bummer as i find your dark theme pretty good but i hate to use ipados in system wide dark mode

The design of the folders is pretty boring and i know you could make something way more modern and less techie.. those blue archivers are clearly not the best looking folder icons you can use, and while at it, plz let us change its colours so we can set different colours to different content of the folder.. would be easier to use, like university folders at green, stuff at blue, job at orange, etc...

For me the lack of auto straight lines and geometric figures after a long press is really one of those dealbreakers.. i know you have the tool for that, but that tool is simply too simple, you can't edit the shapes properly and you cant interact 2 circles and make them have the same center and change the radius of each one, or move just one corner of a triangle , etc.. this is THE FEATURE you should really really copy from notability, and its the real dealbreaker for me

i wish there was an option to not make the fill in of shapes see-through:
an option to select the opacity would be great

It would be nice to be able to flip or reverse images.

I would love to have the ability to move a photo across page boundaries (especially in continuous vertical scroll mode) so that one doesn't have to lasso, copy, paste to move the photo to the next or previous page.

Suggestion: Have the opposite corner as the pivot point when adjusting the size (how all document editors have it)

Currently: Center of the image as the pivot point.

Reasoning: To adjust images to the same size as the one next to it without having to constantly reposition the item

If you export a single document as PDF and set the setting to "Editable", the outline is preserved. The PDF's which are created by the automatic backup (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive) do not contain the outline, because they are saved as "Flattened". Please add an option to automatically save the documents as "Editable-PDF" in the cloud.
Alternatively, an option for a one-time backup of the whole library in GoodNotes to "Editable-PDF" would be a great option. At the moment the option "Backup Data" can only be used to create a backup in the Good-Notes file system.

When I import about 5 photos, the PDF backup file becomes more than 40MB in size.

I would like to have the ability to resize and compress images.

Once a line is created using the shape tool, the user should be able to manipulate that line by lengthening and shortening it from either end. Additionally, line snapping needs improvement. Lines should snap to each other and to text boxes more efficiently.

I would love for the App to support full presentation mode for Powerpoint slides with all the animations and transitions

with the ongoing pandemic, online classes are quite common now and teaching online requires an excellent app that can be used to stream to students.

it would so awesome to combine the annotation capabilities of good notes and combine that with Microsoft powerpoint for awesome presentations to students.

It would be really nice to be able to use/write/paste text that uses the Markdown format as it becomes the norm in most of the other apps. It would make it easier to import/copy text and have it rendered nicely.
