  1. I am a physics student and use a hardware keyboard to write text during lectures but use the pencil to draw sketches and write formulas. I am much slower in GN5 because this shortcut is missing.
    Keyboard shortcuts to switch between the other tools would also be very welcome.

  2. The new update is SO UNSTABLE! It crashes constantly. Tried to open the older version but the iCloud sync hadn't worked. I've now lost a days work.

  5. Currently, Goodnotes5's favorites are displayed using thumbnails. This makes it very difficult to find the page that I want to read - have to keep scrolling. Bookmarks/favorite has always function as an outline for me when I used Goodnotes 4.

    I suggest to allow users to have the option of switching between 1. having thumbnails or 2. without thumbnails and only display the title of the bookmark/favorite (like goodnotes4)

  12. Scrolling notes page. So when you are writing, you don’t have to move your hand, the page moves instead. Penultimate has this feature, but you overall app is much better.

  13. Sometimes I write an entire word in cursive and when I am done I realize shape recognition was on and the word becomes unreadable. I want to be able to press 'undo' and undo only the shape recognition step, recovering the word I just wrote. This is an intuitive way to make the program more useful without complicating the interface. It would also allow me to use 'undo' and 'redo' repeatedly to compare the results with and without shape recognition and decide if I want to keep them.

    In addition: after I draw a triangle without shape recognition, allow me…

  14. It would be so helpful if the app could open with all the notebooks I had open before I accidentally closed the app like Safari will reopen with all the tabs I had open. I work on several notebooks open at a time with work projects for different clients and the times I've closed out of the app entirely...they are not open when I restart the app.

  15. It would be very Helpful to have the possibility to create Tables. Similar to tables in Pages or Word. It would be best to use a template with rows and columns that adapt to the size of the written content.

  16. Among the recent “ideas” I’ve seen more comments sharing links to casino websites than actual useful ideas. I don’t know if there’s already someone moderating the section, but I think it’d be faster to ban links in the comments (I’m not an expert in website development so I don’t know how hard it actually would be)
    Thanks

  17. Study sets are great and i love this feature very much but i think some additional improvements will make it extremely useful and great.
    For example how much I remember the cards, if there is multiple option as in Anki such as easy, good, hard & again rather than know it or not will improve smart learn and add filter cards queue, some cards i forget it at all while others i just forget a little bit of it so the only two option make them equal.

    Although if there is an option for backward of cards as I accidentally…

  18. I would love to be able to use the lasso tool to select a handwritten word in a notebook and have that take me to a particular section in my notes. I know you can link to a certain page, but from my knowledge the link must be typed and I would like to be able to be able to link to a section of the screen. This could maybe be done by zooming into a certain section that you want to link to and having a button up the top allowing you to save that position in the screen…

  19. I use a different app (speechify) to read off pdfs, etc to me. It works really well and helps me get through readings in in uni I would struggle with other wise. However, I much prefer to highlight my readings, etc as a doc in goodnotes. I think such a feature would be immensely helpful for college students in good notes.

  20. Two dots on the dotted paper templates are a little over 1.1 cm apart on the ruler. It would be great for drawing graphs if they are 1 cm apart, so the templates fit the ruler. The same issue applies to the squared paper.
