  2. Would be nice to staple two pages together or flip the page and use the back side.

  3. Remember the tool I last used in that specific document.
    E.g one document where the highlighter is selected and the other document keeps the pen selected, so the selection isn‘t app wide

  4. First, I love Goodnotes!
    Would it be possible to make a larger Return Button. I'm often taking bullet type notes, so I use the Return often, and when going quickly, it takes a moment to look and make sure I hit the button to create the next bullet, as it's quite small. I know this is a minor issue but it would speed things up for me a lot.
    Thank you very much.
    Cheers,
    Anthony

  7. Please revert Zoom Window to how it was on GoodNotes4! And no, I am not simply referring to the shortcuts.

    On the previous version, we could write whilst “zoomed-in” and zoom onto other parts of the page while writing in that mode! Not so anymore!

    Whenever I try to write (while zoomed in) and look at other parts of the magnified page, it snaps back to focus on the part of page I am writing.

    Why is this an issue? I want to write notes while looking at other notes. I suppose I could zoom out 100% - but then…

  8. On goodnotes 5 I’d you keep hitting undo it undoes work you’ve completed on previous pages. Without noticing I’ve lost some of my notes and I wish that it was back to how it was in version 4

  9. For the love of God, please turn off the Goodnotes 5 popover reminder in Goodnotes 4. I’ve clicked it a dozen times now and it still comes back to remind me. If I wanted Goodnotes 5, I would have bought it by the 10th reminder. Thanks.

  12. Please allow the pages to be swiped like ebooks. Or other ways of maneuvering the pages like a scroll down option or ebook style. It helps sooo much when i’m reading books i’ve copied to the app!

  13. I will be more likely to use GoodNotes if I can import my IOS notes all at once, (I would not take the time to copy and paste one by one, it would take too long). Is there any way to do this?

  14. I take notes for grad school using your app. You have categories. But within those categories I want to be able to organize into sub categories based on the modules that are being covered

  16. I would like to suggest adding a “Pin” feature to Infinite Canvas mode. As notes expand across a large canvas, it becomes increasingly difficult to relocate specific sections without repeatedly zooming and dragging around. This is especially frustrating when trying to find important content written earlier.

    A Pin feature would allow users to mark specific locations on the canvas and quickly navigate back to them. Ideally, users could place pins anywhere, assign optional names (e.g., “Key Concept” or “Meeting Summary”), and access a panel listing all pins for one-click navigation.

    This addition would significantly improve navigation efficiency, reduce time spent…

  17. Please give us the option of laser pointer in the reading mode. I don't want to edit my document, I want to
    1. Read the document myself with the laser pointer
    2. use it while presenting, without accidentally editing anything

  18. I’m a frequent Goodnotes user on macOS and rely heavily on it to manage and review a large number of PDF documents.

    One feature I strongly miss is the macOS “Quick Look” preview functionality — where pressing the space bar instantly displays a full-size preview of a selected file without fully opening it. This allows for extremely fast navigation through document lists and makes it easy to quickly inspect content before deciding to open a file.

    In Goodnotes for Mac, the only available preview is the thumbnail view, which is helpful but too limited for efficiently scanning document contents when…

  19. The math features are awesome, saving some time not needing to use the manual calculator. However, in Europe we use comma instead of points for decimals and the math tools sometimes struggles with that and interprets decimal numbers as vectors or coordinates. Please add support for European math notations.

  20. The ability to add animated gifs is great, but they just loop continuously. It would be nice to be able to click them to pause or play them. I'm using good notes to record some whiteboard-style tech how-to videos. I'm doing animations in procreate dreams and would like to drop those into a good notes whiteboard. I then use iOS screen record to record the whiteboard session.
