  4. Enable the creation of hyperlinks

    I love the option of using pre-existing Hyperlinks (digital planners etc.) but I often feel the need to add hyperlinks while working on a document. While taking notes in a class, sometimes websites, videos or useful tools are being mentioned, that I would love to link directly to my notes!

  6. Study Flashcards

    The ability to select the number of flashcards to be shown during a session, that way you can slowly increase the number of cards you study each time. For example, I can choose to study 5, 10, or 20 cards out of 40 flashcards. Then once those are learned, I can add more by increasing the amount of cards.

  7. AUDIO TO TEXT

    It would be awesome to create a dictate function on good notes. I would love for there to be an ability for me to dictate notes and it would convert it into text.

  8. Create Nested Outlines for better navigation

    Please allow us to create nested outlines with Collapsable headings and sub headings for better navigation inside the book. Its is very much needed for larger books.

    You allow to create outline but only a simple outline, this makes navigation through the pdf a lot tougher. It would be much better if you allow to create nested outlines so that we can differentiate between major topics and subheadings. Thank you very much.

  9. Support Fillable Form PDF's that will also allow for handwritten notes.

    Currently, a Fillable Form is rendered inactive when uploaded to GoodNotes 5. Handwriting is still functional, but none of the Form Fields are. It would be excellent if we could fill out a form, and then make notes on the side. The Form should then be exportable, with all notes, and completed Form Fields.

  11. Zoom window tools for iPad

    May we have ink color and line thickness tools added to the zoom window?

    Maybe also while the zoom window is open move the pen, eraser, highlighter shape, and lasso tools to the zoom window toolbar, too. I think this would be a great improvement for User Experience.

  13. Disable the page turn animation

    The new version added the page turn animation, but doesn't give the experience of reading ePub on iBooks.

    The animation looks very amateur, and quite annoying when trying to go back and forth for references. Hope add an option to disable this feature, just like what other apps do.

  14. Create temporary margins that could be handled easily

    Sometimes, I draw a graph on the left-hand side of the paper, and I want to use the blank space on the right to continue writing. But if I write there, I have to move the zoom box myself at every new lines (otherwise, I'll be writing on my graph!). It would be great to be able to set a “temporary left margin” to be more efficient.

    The next step would be that the app automatically detect that there is a drawing on the left, and automatically knows not to go completely to the left side of the page while…

  16. customizable Text fields

    Currently I can only save one default setting for a text field. This is very inconvenient when using multiple fonts and font sizes in the notes. It would be nice to be able to save between 10-15 different text field variations.

    Hello! I wish you add a modular toolbar which I can snap of the current position and move it anywhere I like. And also the ability to customise the toolbar would be nice. Still, cheers for the great app!

  20. Left-handed Full Hebrew support - Zoom window

    I am a left-handed user and I write in Hebrew which means I write from right to left most of the time unlike English (left to right). The app needs that the zoom window will support Hebrew it will help so so many other users that are just like me and will attract way more potential users.
