  1. I am really enjoying the Flashcard template.

    However, I like my notes to be as neat as possible. It would be great if templates for lined and squared paper Flashcards could be created for when writing out the Flashcards, but when studying them, the lines/grid lines are removed to look as though your hand written notes are all aligned and not wonky! :)

  2. Whenever I type and sometimes my hand rests on the ipad screen, the popup appears and it is really very frustrating. I have taken the one time subscription but still goodnote fails to provide the service.

  4. The new feature that allows users to select and drag a screenshot with a tap of their finger can make it annoying when you zoom in on an image to make notes. If the image takes up the entire screen it’s too easy to end up dragging the image. Then none of the notes are aligned. Please add the ability to either toggle that feature, or to anchor a screenshot so it cannot be moved.

  5. It would be very useful to be able to temporarily hide folders or documents.
    When in school or in Uni we often have a lot of different subjects, thus it would be handy to be able to hide the ones that are currently not used to make the "document" page more organized without having to permanently delete the unused documents.

  6. What it says on the tin. Erase, lasso, OCR all should work on any imported file. For instance, taking a photo of handwritten notes and being able to edit them exactly like if they had been written in Goodnotes.

    I imagine there are technical barriers to this when recognizing what to edit from, say, an image, but it seems like a function that already should be available for text documents.

  7. Comments are useful for adding details to handwritten notes when you don’t want to take up too much space on the page.

    It would make sense that they would be included in the lasso tool selection with the notes they are located over. As is, it appears it’s impossible even to copy and paste a comment manually to move it from one page to the other, potentially removing critical detail from a note.

  8. This was previously possible and I’d love to see it return- the ability to single tap or double tap on a sticker and write without the sticker option for copying and pasting activating especially if text box is deselected in lasso tool.

  9. Colouring Pages , More options for the Pens.

    GN5 latest version is FAB, but these are the major changes i am looking into. I have been using since an year and recommended to all my friends , and most of them purchased it. It's an easy going app.

    1. Colouring Pages with whichever colour we want from the colours - like we do for the pens
      Usage: Different coloured page books for different works , for precise work and few notes need to be written in particular colour . Yellow Pages & Red Pen is one of the oldest and sacred…

  10. I hope that double-clicking can allow users to set a third zoom size, not just the minimum zoom and zoom in to the page size, but also the maximum visible block zoom, you can refer to Apple books, their double-click zoom is what I want, so that it can make People who write on books get more room to mark their handwriting

  11. Provide one-click option to send notebook for hardcover/softcover paper publication directly within the app.

    I’ve been using GoodNotes for a few years now and have created many notebooks of ideas, drawings, and sketches. Would love to turn these into paper notebooks for my library. Sure, I can do this through various third party publication platforms with a little effort. But, to have an option where I could seamlessly send notebooks to a printer from within the app, knowing that the paper size and other features are controlled and synced — without any fiddling — is a big time saver.

  13. I use one document for my work. And each day I need diferent pages. Now I need to delete all bookmarks and prepare bookmarks for another day. If I could do this preparation in advance for all the days with diferent packs of bookmarks, it would save lot of time.

    Using outlines doesn't work for this need.

  15. Turning the highlighter marks into pen colors (this will obscure the text, which is what I need) allows me to temporarily hide the key word and turn them into fill-in-the-blank questions that I can memorize

  16. I have had a problem for a couple of months. I use Good notes for tutoring, and I use the highlighter or drawing features a lot on imported text documents. When my students try to draw or highlight, "the comment" option frequently appears. It is very sensitive if they hold down the key for too long. This is annoying and frustrating for them. How can I turn off the comment feature?

  17. This feature (see attached) renders the option to toggle images on/off via the lasso tool useless. Instead, any tap on any image regardless of the tool being used will allow the image to move. This feature might be ok if image locking ever becomes an option, but for now it’s extremely frustrating when you’re working with layered images.

  19. I love using goodnotes, however it would be even better if I could get it on my school chromebook. I think that you should make a website where people from any device can access the app on a website, like the notion app. They have a website, that allows that same features as the app.

  20. It seems there has been a change in a text box function.
    The text box didn't move until I selected [T] or text function.
    But now, with a slight touch with my hand or finger, the text box is selected and moves around. This is very inconvenient because I usually take notes by typing. I have more than 150 pages written down and now whenever I try to review the materials with my apple pencil, it moves.

    In the video I intended to touch it with my hand because this happens suddenly. I hope you fix this problem.
