  1. It will be great if we can customize different scrolling directions for different documents rather than the same for all documents. Since some documents may have a better view in vertical scrolling some may be more convenient in horizontal scrolling.

  3. Actually, this appears to be a bug. In Mac OS, I specifically turn off spellchecker because I am tutoring kids remotely during school shutdowns and I am teaching them how to spell. Spellchecker needs to be off. I turned it off in the system AND locally in Goodnotes. Unfortunately, every time I open a new text box and the student starts typing again, spellchecker is on again. I have to turn it off for each new text box. Help!

  4. 将搜索内容的功能加入正在阅读的pdf文件(在红圈标记的地方加入搜索功能)。而不是统一在所有文件中搜索想要搜索的内容
    adding search function in a particular document (adding it in the regions marked by red circle in the picture.) , rather than just search content in all of the documents.

  5. I would like to submit an idea that would greatly improve the organization and special features of the app for IPad users. I was thinking of an option in settings where you can write your “ideal” alphabet (you write each letter in your best handwriting) so that when you are writing your notes it identifies the letter/number and it automatically changes to that ideal handwriting. This can give ones notes and handwriting consistency and an atheistically neat and organized look

  6. My students are preparing for the AP Language and Composition exam from home now. Annotating texts and sources is critical to this. I can’t ask them to pay for the service but this app could save us all! Please help.

  8. 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

  9. Currently, when you search for a term, the search drop down menu will only show an excerpt of the first instance that the search term is found on a page. Often times, however, a term appears more than once per page. It would be beneficial to see an excerpt of each instance the search term is found.

    For example, if the term "Australia" is found 4 times on page 53, there should be 4 excerpts of page 53 showing each instance where the term Australia appears.

  10. When I copy a word from another app and want to paste it to GoodNotes, the text format I setted doesn’t work,it will go back to the format of the original app. That’s really annoying

  12. so that we can use two options-one like prior goodnotes 4, less useing upper space, but little pen options made up of those we use oftern. The other the tool bar just like nowadays.

    The bug I think is abut device storage. When I write on my document(automatic backup in ondrive on, no icloud) and check available ipad storage in file app, from 300MB to 1 GB of available storage decreases and this storage does not return. The size of the document is 8MB. This happens only after using goodnotes in my device.(I haven't checked in other devices yet) This…

  15. It would be nice to be able to search for his notes. What has been highlighted or what has been drawn, or written by hand, because global research does not allow it. And / Or have a list of annotations that we made and in which we could do research

  17. For my exams, I have to print out all of my notes because I have access to all of the other apps on my iPad. It would be great if from the app, there was a way to have a professor set a password and time limit to lock me out of the rest of the iPad and prevent me from closing good notes so I could use this during an exam. Then, when you are done with the exam or the timer expires, the lock will end and you can then close the good notes app and use the…

  18. During my studies i use GoodNotes 5 every day and i love it.
    But in some lectures we uses some symbols and characters often. And therefor is my idea.
    Is there a possibility to creat an own library for often uses symbols?
    That i only have to draw them once and save them in „my own symbols library“?
    For example the summation sign (∑), or the drawing of electrical schematics with resistors, capacitors etc.

  19. Hy guys
    It‘s actually not a feature, but a little detail that was bothering me...
    Every time I tag an important page and skip to the next page using my Apple-Keyboard, the tag continues for all the following pages. Only by swiping with my fingers the tag remains on the important page.
    Could you do something about that?

    Thanks a lot ;)
