  1. This used to not be a problem until a week ago but since the update for more pen colors on the toolbar, the pen thickness is now behind two tap s, one to open the menu and the second to select the thickness. This has affected my usual work flow and it’s more tedious than I thought it would be initially.

    Also the addition of more colors on the toolbar is not ideal for me since I just like to work with three colors to keep everything simple and clean (the UI also feels more cluttered to me for some…

  2. Maybe an option of hold pressing on the thickness button and the ability to change the width by sliding pen up and down (to select the strokes), so we wouldn't have to open the stroke button every 2 seconds for switching?

  6. Wanna divide {ONLY Straight Line} button from {Square,Triangle,Circle} button because whenever I write / before conjunction or kinda adverb, it always becomes curve.

    Also, that suggested {ONLY Straight Line} button needs to include Highlighter, too. Because that Highlighter's straight option does not works well and it highlights as curve. But my book in PDF does not curved.

    I want to study in a effective way with fast writing straight lines instead of drawing fine art curve. But currently, Goonotes5 on iPad enforce me art on my textbook PDF.

    So JUST make {ONLY Straight Line} button including pen and highlighter.

  8. I love GoodNotes on iOS but would LOVE to use it on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 which is 7.6" - just shy of the 8" minimum. Any chance as the beta goes, GoodNotes will open up to my size screen?

  9. On the new update is now harder to quickly change the thickness of the pencil and hglg, would be great to slide from up to down on the icon that you press to open the thickness selector menu to quickly switch to the next thickness level and from down to up to the previous one.

    I'm a student who writes notes with lots of different thicknesses and colors, the new update made me more productive when switching colors but less productive when changing thicknesses

    There's a video with the desired gesture

  10. Please can we have the three line thickness options back on the toolbar? It’s an extra click now to access a drop down which is less convenient.

    I think you’ve replaced it with an extra line colour option but I preferred it before.

    😊

  12. After the latest update that allows the user to add more than 3 colours, the stroke menu has morphed into this menu that you must click on to expand first and only then will it allow you to choose stroke sizes. Nobody has asked for the latter and please restore it. Thank you

  14. I used to write with a fountain pen all the time but switched to iPad because I had so many notebooks it was getting a bit ridiculous trying to go back through my notes. One thing I miss so much is the way ink looks on a page, particularly inks with hi sheen and shading. Colours vary in intensity at different points on the page, some completely change depending on the amount of ink laid down and it really makes writing enjoyable and makes revising notes oddly satisfying. Please add some form of this to GoodNotes as an option when…

  15. After the new update, we got the option to have more than 3 colours in our tool bar, but we lost the quick access to pen size curser because of that.
    Definitely a downgrade.
    Having to click on the little icon to change the size is so annoying and time consuming.
    So please bring the old version back, where we can have our 3 pen sizes directly onto our toolbar.

  17. after the voice recording update, when I use split view using the under toolbar, the recording bar comes up and I cannot use the toolbar. This problem only happens when I use the under toolbar. For me, the under toolbar is much more comfortable to use, but I cannot use this anymore because of this error. I'm waiting for the new update and bug fix, but I couldn't see the changes even if I update my iPad and good notes app in the app store. I hope this problem is improved so this bug will be eliminated.

  18. The ability to create fast flashcards by using the lasso tool on notebooks.

    Currently, to study and get asked with the study mode we have to adapt our notes to flashcards mode.

    This is really annoying: we have to do all the notes of our notebooks in a Flashcard template, or we have to write again our notes in the flashcards in the Study set.

    Is really tedious and redundant to create notes and afterward to write again your notes in flashcards(my current situation)

    I believe we should add the next feature:

    • The availity in a notebook to create Questions/answers…
