  1. Hello,

    I like GoodNotes concept of having multiple pages instead of one infinite one, but I find it too hard to quickly move text between pages.

    This is why I suggest adding a "Move to next page" button that pops up once I move part of the selection outside of the page's borders (see attached image for a demonstration of how this could work).

  2. It would be nice to have a hand-drawn image/symbol gallery. For example, writing out your own formulas/diagrams and being able to save them at the top of the page in the tool bar (just like how there's a photo option that comes from your camera roll).

    Having your own drawn images/formulas etc, would be a lot quicker for the user instead of re-writing out or copying/pasting each time when you need to use a specific shape/image/formula etc.

  3. I am a new user I really enjoy this app but there are some features that will be handy for all for us users of Goodnotes 5. Starting with a setting of margins for the templates ( I print my notes to put them on a binder and some of my notes gets cut of with the hole puncher), a ruler (this will be super handy, I know I can use the shape tool but there's people that work with measurements)

  6. Inserire opzione per applicare le modifiche del modello di pagina all’intero taccuino anziché alla singola pagina come lo è adesso.

  7. It would be great if the thickness of the pen can be automatically adjusted with respect to the zoom-in ratio, so that the pen thickness displayed on the screen stays the same.

  8. In GoodNotes 4 it was easy to rename a Favorite that has been assigned to a page. This is helpful to navigate through a large number of pages. In GN 5 I only get a list of thumbnails with page numbers, which is useless, unless I can figure out the content of the respective page from the thumbnail view.
    It cannot be too difficult to bring this feature back. The names that I have assigned in my old GN 4 documents are even shown now in GN 5! Since the day GN 5 came out, I waiting for this feature…

  9. I like the idea of having a storage on camera button that has a drop-down menu to store clipart a person uses. For example in physics I use this clipart of a car or buildings alot to help quickly have free body diagrams. Having a drop-down menu of tables, pictures, and other tools saved for quick access would nice versus having to constantly copy, paste, or crop

  10. When you open a notebook pages are initially displayed in full height. First thing you have to do is double tap to make the app use the available space of the display. I use A4 paper format, not GoodNotes standard.

  11. After drawing a shape it'd be nice if we could have the option to remove its border, leaving only the semi-transparent filling. I draw lots of 3D shapes and the semi-transparent filling helps indicating the object's depth, but the borders make the object look cluttered.

  12. I love the new feature which allows drawing shapes very simply without using the shape tool. Thank you! But I also often used and rely upon the ability to draw shapes with a Fountain pen or brush pen outline. The new feature seems to have disabled this. Please can you bring back Fountain pen and brushed outline shapes as they were before? Thank you

  14. What we would like is the page number like PDF documents. The page number in Roman numerals like i, ii, iii, iv, v, vii, should be support to display on the several starting pages, so that the following pages could have right page number matched with the real. I know that you just added a new feature about page number, but I don’t think it’s very useful. This request to support PDF page number display is more useful.

  15. I love the new option with the eraser where it snaps back to the pen or highlighter tool once you are done with it and I think it would be great to see that with the selection tool too.

    Thanks for your consideration.

  16. It would be awesome if the print feature could be expanded. Especially being able to print a selection of pages and being able to choose whether to include the background (as in the pdf export) would be super duper awesome!

  18. Hey I tried posting this prior but I wasn’t clear enough and the thread was closed so I’m going to try again with an image of how I think would be great way to implement the flashcards.

    Essentially there would be a button, either a stand alone button or within the selection tool that will create 2 selection boxes (sequentially obviously), the first being a selection of the question and the second being the selection of the answer (I guess it would also work fine if it were a lasso style too). Please see the image if I wasn’t clear…

  19. Please....
    - add dotted and dashed lines
    - add the function, that the lasso tool recognises lines and objects
    - add gifs and sticky notes
    - add the function that you can record an audio while taking notes, so that you can play it afterwards and it shows what you’ve written in this moment
    - add new sizes to the eraser
    - add that you can change the background colour of geometric forms
    - add that you can select, if the text should be a flowing text or not
