   try this instead  ·  AdminGoodnotes (Moderator, GoodNotes) responded

   Thanks for the suggestion. For now, please try opening the same document in two windows side by side. You can drag and drop the page from thumbnail view to the side and navigate both windows independently.

2. When converting handwritten note to text please use the original color of the pen for the font

   Hi,

   For example, when we're using a red pencil and convert it to text the fond of the text become black. Can you add an option so by default the color of the font is the same as the original handwritten note?

   Thanks

3. Sub-Outline in Outlines

   When I import some PDFs their outlines are imported too. I love this feature. I have noticed that when this happens, the outlines have sub-outlines to make navigating the outlines easier.

   However, I can not create this in my own GoodNotes outlines. It only works when I import a PDF that already has this structure built into it.

   I would like to have a feature in GoodNotes where I can create sub-outlines in my notebooks.

4. Make typing on GoodNotes neater

   Currently, when I use the text feature with a ruled background, the texts will overlap the lines of the background. It will be perfect if we can adjust the spacing such that the text can fit perfectly between the space.

   I would like to add if possible that the shape tool can be enhanced to recognise the shapes better. Occasionally the shape tool will correct my input into a warped shape.

5. exporting without background

   Could Goodnotes 5 allow export to PDF or image without the template background? Whenever I select export without background, it remove all my inserted or imported picture/pdf.

   I would like to export without template background for printing, because it is waste of ink.

   Also, can we export selected pages too ?
   Can Goodnotes auto convert the light colour ink in dark mode to dark ink when exporting without background? (like Notes App in iOS13)

8. Paste in place

   Please add a “paste in place” option to the pop up that appears when you press and hold on a page. I would like to copy one or more elements from a page and then paste in the same position on a new page.

   I use GN as a planner (on my iPad) and frequently tweak and then reuse layouts I like. This would make quicker work of it.

9. Tabs and Section Dividers

   There have been topics on having divider tabs. I would like to expand on this and also request the option of sub-divider tabs. For example...

   For something like a planner journal, there would be 12 main divider sections (one per month). Within each month there could be two separate dividers for weekly and daily pages plus any additional dividers for miscellaneous content relative to that month only.

   For student notes, the main dividers could be the classes and the sub-dividers could be for various assignments for each class.

   If a divider is a MAIN divider, it is accessible from any page in the notebook, but if it is a SUB-DIVIDER, it is only accessible when you are on a page in it’s parent section.

   I would like all the dividers to appear in the page browser and to be able to move and duplicate them just as I would ordinary pages. If I move a sub-divider from one parent section to a new one, it would become a sub-divider in the new section, losing all connection to its previous location but retaining the original name. Duplicate names should be allowed.
   The tabs (i.e., the clickable portion) should automatically resize and reposition themselves to best fit the allotted space. They should appear in the same order they appear in the page browser. The current section (and sub-divider) tabs should be highlighted in a way that makes it easy to tell which section I am in. Having automatic color coded bands or blocks appear on the outer edges of content pages that match the tab section(s) would also be helpful.

   Since there are three edges to every page (if you don’t include the bottom), I would further like to define a divider as either a top, left, or right side divider. This way I can have my months separated from other notes that are not specific to any month, like long-term project notes.

   And of course tab dividers should be completely optional. Maybe they can extend outside the edges of current themes so they can be easily added or removed. Since the tabs would be a separate interface element, they should function no matter which tool you are using to make it easier to navigate without switching tools. Or this can be a preference setting that you can turn of and on in case you need to write on a tab.

   A button to hide/show tabs in order to increase screen real estate would also be welcome.

12. Controllable Higlighter/pen opacity

    Would be great if the opacity of pen or highlighter could be controlled for the desired outcome. Currently using a black paper template and anything you highlight disappears because the opacity of the highlighter isn’t high enough!

13. Typing should auto “next page”

    Text (which should fit ON THE PAGE LINES !) should auto “next page” so you can continuously flow through typing and not worry about going to the next page, making a new text box, fitting it, resizing the text to fit the grid lines

14. MAKE TEXT FIT ON THE PAGE LINES !!!

    Please please please make the grid likes actually automatically fit to the text, any text box just kind of floats on top of the lines and you have to resize the text and try to fit it to the lines and it never works. If text worked better I would use it more

15. Screenshot straight to clipboard [macOS/iOS]

    When I select an area and take a screenshot it opens another screen.
    It would be much better to have the option (Maybe in settings) to put a screenshot straight into the clipboard. A lot of the time I just want to quickly copy from an imported PDF document to separate notebook.

16. Google Chrome Extension

    It would be great if you could add an extension for google chrome where by you can 'send' something to your GoodNotes ios app.

    For example.

    In am currently researching for a large essay. I use chrome on my PC and GoodNotes on my iPad Pro. I would LOVE to be able to look at a PDF, or a section of website and 'import' this into goodnotes in the same way you can do if using chrome on the iPad.

    Currently, i have to find something i like, then 'send' it to chrome on the iPad, then open chrome on the iPad, then open the page, then find whatever it was i wanted to import into GoodNotes, then go through the import process.

    I could cut a lot out byu simply 'importing' it from the Chrome browser on the PC straight into GoodNotes on the iPad.

    Other software can do this, for example OneNote.

    Sorry if this is a bit confusing, im very dyslexic so struggle to put thoughts onto paper.

19. Not an idea actually, but complaints and requests

    I am sure I'm not the only one who have asked for this in the past, but I will ask for it once again (not hoping for much though, since 2 years passed since I first asked for it -others too as I said- and nothing has been done).

    ADD NEW PENS! This is handwriting note taking app! Pens have been the same since GN4! Oh, don't tell me that the "brush pen" you added in the horrible GN5 is an addition! It does nothing! How about looking at other note taking apps to see the variety of pens they offer? I have been using GN4 for about 5 years so far (GN5 has a loooong way to go till it becomes barely good -I will complain about it below) and no progress has been done on this. Give your loyal customers pens! Give them variety! Going paperless needs more pens! We do so many things with GN and we have to still stick to only two pens???

    Now, let's go to complaints (gee, where to start from?)

    No, ladies and gentlemen, GN5 has NOT been an upgrade! You said "you started from scratch" to build GN5. Why??? What was so bad about GN4 that you had to dump it and start from scratch?

    So many months after its release, GN5 lacks basic things: writing is not at all as smooth as in GN4, it is actually worse (!!!), and in the zoom window the app does not have the necessary tools that GN4 had. Till the moment I'm writing all these (Nov 18, 2019), there must have been about 7 or 8 months since GN5 was released. Too much time has passed and the two things I mentioned a few lines above (not smooth writing and no tools in the zoom window) are still not where they're supposed to be. Especially smooth writing, one of the things I loved in GN4 from the start and still do while I'm using it, is absent in GN5. Are you even trying the app yourselves? Are you listening to us?

    It it the first time I am talking like this, but you people made me furious with GN5! I've been using various apps all these years in my iPads and never have I rated one of them with 1 star in the AppStore. Never, till GN5 got released. On the contrary, I gave GN4 four stars from the first time I downloaded and then bought it. Never regretted buying GN4 and still consider it one of the top note taking apps.

    I am a maths teacher and make too much use of my iPad and GN4. I have invested too much time working with them, but GN5 failed me big time! What good does it for me to have better app colors and folders and a laser point in GN5, if writing in GN5 is so bad and the app makes my life hard by not giving me in the zoom window what GN4 gave me from the start? Yes, I liked the new feature you added to the laser point, but it's not my No1 tool. GN5 lacks basic tools to make my life easy.

    Concluding:

    1. Add more pens! Add more pens! Add more pens!
    2. Make writing in GN5 as smooth as in GN4! Writing in GN5 with the Apple Pencil is way worse than in GN4! GN4 is still much better than GN5!
    3. Add the necessary tools in the zoom window! We write at the bottom and have to send our hand all the time to the top to erase, to change color, to undo! Is this an upgrade?
    4. Live up to the reputation you made with GN4! GN4 still kicks ass! GN5 not!

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express my complaints and some basic requests.

    I am sure I'm not the only one who have asked for this in the past, but I will ask for it once again (not hoping for much though, since 2 years passed since I first asked for it -others too as I said- and nothing has been done).

    ADD NEW PENS! This is handwriting note taking app! Pens have been the same since GN4! Oh, don't tell me that the "brush pen" you added in the horrible GN5 is an addition! It does nothing! How about looking at other note taking apps to see the variety of pens they… more

    needs more information  ·  AdminGoodnotes (Moderator, GoodNotes) responded

    We’re sorry to hear about the negative experiences you have with GoodNotes 5 and are thankful that you took the time to write such lengthy and detailed feedback.
    We’re optimizing the ink algorithm continuously and haven’t heard many complaints about the smoothness in recent times so we’d like to take a closer look at your case. Would you be able to share a comparison video of how it looks like when you write in GoodNotes 4 vs GoodNotes 5 to support@goodnotes.com? That will be very helpful for us. Please refer to this review, so that we know it is you.

20. Add Romanian language please

    Please add romanian language as well, text recognition was the primary reason I have bought the app and I was very disappointed not to find Ro there. Thank you!
