  1. Goodnote 5's ability to add PowerPoint to the app is lacking. The content is out of place to compare to the actual slides, with one reason being font enlargement after translating into the app. There is a failure to recognize certain symbols. Also, some slide content would not appear, due to font enlargement occupying excessive space, leaving no room for a certain context, then the app automatically not shows those contents.

  2. Ok, we can now scroll like a normal notebook, how about being able to do that, but adding a page above, or below an existing page. Kind of like a mind map. If you have a note with something specific, you can add something specific below (or above) a note

  3. Even after hiding the status bar, GoodNotes still consumes screen real estate. Let's add an option to hide the navigation bar with the gallery and search and share button. It's not very useful most of the time while working on one document.

    Likewise, hiding the editing toolbar gains space but then editing is turned off. The toolbar could simply fold itself into one button in the top right corner so that the user can focus on the document and the text they are writing and get it back when they need it by tapping the screen or using a touch…

  5. Imagine you are writing a thesis, you need to read tonnes of heavy journals and you want to easily extract the essence of the content for use in your work. While highlighting is useful, being able to remove everything else and only see the highlighted content you have marked will significantly improve the understanding of that journal.
    And imagine if the content is editable too, as in exporting it to a Word file. Can you imagine how this reduces the time spent on reviewing literature??!

  6. Hi, Goodnotes is my most favorite application. But one thing that you can improve to make GoodNotes better application is “make it can choose many pictures and make an order of those pictures when user want to makes a new file from many pictures “ when found this needs when I have to sent my homeworks from home during this virus crisis.

  7. Right now, it is a little bit complicated to choose new colors in GoodNotes 5 since one has to tap on several menus to arrive at the color wheel. I wish there would a a feature that'd show previously used colors in a palette, down there the usual colors. (Also: adding colors to the palette is confusing! And the hexadecimal RGB-Code shows the value "#ffffff' no matter what color until you move the color picker.)

  8. It would be a great addition to the app if you all would allow the outline to be better organized by the ability of us to have headers and subheaders w/in a notebook. This would allow people to access relevant pages within a notebook quicker.

  9. Okay so they did hierarchy but its kind of a pain to navigate. If you have many folders and are in one of the deeper folders you must keep pressing the back button until you get to your desired document. There should be a menu button (for instance near the Bookmarks button) that could be accessed to easily get from one document to another.

  10. There should be a better option when I need to send multiple files via email as separate pdfs. I often have to send multiple files from Goodnotes and it would be great if I could select that I want to send them as two separate pdf attachments. But the only option to keep them as separate pdf's is to send multiple emails because if I select multiple files to send as an email it will merge them into one large pdf.

  11. I am a physician. I use GoodNotes (for iPad) to send requisitions to my secretary, as well as radiology and laboratories.

    If I am writing a prescription for a radiology test that I will always send to the same radiology clinic, it makes sense that I can define a default recipient for that particular form.

    It would simplify the workflow, just fill out the form and hit HotShare (you are free to use the term .... no copyrights on that .... (<end joke>).

    As it stands I have to fill the form, hit print, select print all pages, then pinch-zoom…

  12. two-way sync option for google drive where deleted files on the app will also be deleted on google drive. Upon the google drive sync, folders that I have moved or deleted were still there

  13. it ist great that now it is possible to backup our files with for example google drive/one drive.

    But it were much better if we could sync the Backup folder with goodnotes.
    Thus we get much easier and faster import from the computer

  14. It will be very nice, if you could specify a certain time period for Auto-Backup.

    For example Once a day or every hour. Because I think, since I activate it, my battery of the IPad is much faster empty

  15. hello it would be great if the new colors added by a user do not reset with each update, because it is very tedious to go and enter all the new colors again.

  17. Please allow to add not only PDF but also images from the Files-sheet by tapping +. When draging-and-dropping in splitview from the Files app adding images to documents as new page works fine, so why don‘t you allow it from inside the app?

  18. This would allow to use other cloud services that are integrated into the Files app, in particular secure, end-to-end encrypted services.

  19. it would be great to have a tool that lets you fill in a shape or a diagram, especially for hand drawn pictures that we all love to insert in our notes. Using the highlighter to fill in the shape take too much time and is also imprecise.

    please add it

  20. Can GoodNotes please allow me to export my notes with a table of content and handwriting recognition at the same time? It is such a bummer that I cannot have both of these basic features to exist in the same file :(
