  1. When trying to draw sine waves I end up with a triangle type wave or an oval, would love to see support for more shapes

  2. I like add a picture into the note and writing on the picture. But after updating, the picture always move by my hand! It is terrible! At least, this feature should be turned on or off at our discretion.

  3. Whenever I type and sometimes my hand rests on the ipad screen, the popup appears and it is really very frustrating. I have taken the one time subscription but still goodnote fails to provide the service.

  4. It would be very useful to be able to temporarily hide folders or documents.
    When in school or in Uni we often have a lot of different subjects, thus it would be handy to be able to hide the ones that are currently not used to make the "document" page more organized without having to permanently delete the unused documents.

  5. I use one document for my work. And each day I need diferent pages. Now I need to delete all bookmarks and prepare bookmarks for another day. If I could do this preparation in advance for all the days with diferent packs of bookmarks, it would save lot of time.

    Using outlines doesn't work for this need.

  6. In the experimental feature you can’t scroll through a view of the cards like you can with notebook and other cards making it hard to edit and use

  7. Turning the highlighter marks into pen colors (this will obscure the text, which is what I need) allows me to temporarily hide the key word and turn them into fill-in-the-blank questions that I can memorize

  8. I study Economics, and I wish that I don't have to draw the charts and other drawings all from scratch each time. If there was a place where I can draw it once and assign it under a specific name then when I want to plug it in, I just write the name I assigned it to it. That would save tons of time!

  9. While editing a document scrolling is possible only with fingers but doing so smudges the screen. Scrolling should be possible without hiding toolbar.
    To write or edit: select a tool.
    To scroll: tap on last used tool thereby disabling it.

    For reference: try annotation feature of One drive on iPad.

  10. Trennung von Drehpunkt und Größenanpassung.
    Aktuell ist es kaum möglich ein markiertes Objekt zu drehen ohne dass dabei die Größe verändert wird.
    In der Version 4 waren die Funktionen getrennt, was einfach optimaler war. Ist es in Version 5 vielleicht auch möglich die Funktionen wieder zu trennen?
    Nachdem ein eingefügtes Element um 90Grad gedreht wird, rastet es nicht bei 90Grand ein sondern bei ca. 89 oder 91Grad. Das geschieht nicht, wenn das Objekt mit dem Lasso markiert und gedreht wird. Lässt sich das optimieren?

  11. Pretty basic and I can't believe it doesn't work yet. If I have to read through a document on MacOS I need the PAGE UP & PAGE DOWN buttons to work please.

    Thank you!

  12. Make it so I can set which groups of elements I would see in which notebooks. Along with color presets and line widths. If I am in my budget planner I would like to see different elements than with my daily planner. I also use different width pens and different colors. Rather than seeing long lists.

  15. I am autistic and have ADHD and I use Speechify to read out loud any documents that I read. I am studying an engineering degree and use GoodNotes for all my work. I would love if you could somehow include a Speechify extension in GoodNotes so I don’t have to use two devices.

  16. More textures for pens. Like pencil textures etc. Also, to be able to post templates or stickers for others to use. You could even pay users for designs and others get the designs if they but premium.

  17. Having written black pages with white font color, it would be great to just switch to the negative (page turning white, white font color changing black, the other colors don’t change) to print the notebook.

    Would love to have this feature !

  18. It would be nice to rename existing files. I noticed that recently you are able to rename files when uploading. Please also give the option to rename after uploading.

  20. I would love to be able to write or add text on the folders icon, or have different patterns or colours. This would be helpful to quickly and easily distinguish folders from each other
