  2. In class you sometimes want to point out something very specific. It is good to be able to hide everything else briefly. A kind of spotlight or magnifying glass. This function would be great.

  6. It would be interesting to have a feature where we could enlarge the sheet we are working on or writing. Often the content is large, for example: mind maps, summaries, planning, action plans, and we are limited to having to break the idea to fit everything.

    If we could enlarge the sheet, fitting more content into it.

  7. When searching in korean, the results are not conveient. For example, when I search the word "굿노트", I expect the pages which include "굿노트". But Goodnote shows me all the pages which have "굿" and "노" and "트" separately. This example is same in English : searching "good", then result is all the pages which have "g", "o", "d". This means Goodnote can't understand Korean words perfectly. So searching function is useless for me when I search in Korean.

  9. the text boxes system is outdated, unconfortable and breaks the "note-taking flow". Add tap & type as, for example, notability, or a similar function.

  10. It was possible in GoodNotes 4 to draw very thin lines, 1 pixel size.
    I often use GoodNotes by beginning to write something on one sheet with the stylus, then select all and reduce the size, then zoom in to write more things on the page.
    On GoodNotes 4 the smallest width (0.5) was the same when reducing.
    On GoodNotes 5, the smallest width is too thick, after reducing the new lines are much more thicker than the reduced ones.
    This was a must for me in GoodNotes 4.
    Please please please :)

  11. 1.In the Zoom Window, eraser, frequently used color, backward, etc. have disappeared. It is annoying because the move is long.

    2.After all, it does not seem to support two page views at a time.

    3.No highlighter in Drawing Shapes. Drawing shape with Highlighters are only linear ...
    At Goodnote 4, i can draw circle, triangle, etc with highlighter.

    4.There is still no changing the template at once ....
    When I write i use grid and i print i with only white page.
    I have to change it every single page.

    5.On the preview page, version 4 shows the current page…

  12. There are multiple features that I used daily from Goodnotes 4 that are non-existent in Goodnotes 5. I know you said that the Airplay display features are coming but since I only used Goodnotes while Airplaying this is a big deal for me.

    Also there is no option for importing/exporting to other cloud based storage (google drive, OneDrive for business, Dropbox). I used these with the automatic backup feature (also non-existent) everyday in my classroom. I am very disappointed with the release of Goodnotes 5 as you said that you took all the great parts of Goodnotes 4 and added…

  15. Add an option (for example a button in the toolbar) that allows users to hide the tab bar, freeing up more space for the document.

  16. I really like the whiteboard feature as it enables others and me to collaborate cross-platform on the same infinite canvas like on Freeform, where only Apple users can collaborate.

    But I miss the background options you get with ordinary.

    I also miss scenes from Freeform, which can serve as keynote slides, table of contents and a general outline of the whole mind-map.

    For me as a math and it student, this would be much appreciated.

  17. Goodnotes AI – Get Answers Using External AI Provider APIs

    Goodnotes currently has its own AI model, but I was wondering if it would be possible to also receive answers using AI APIs from external providers instead of being limited to the Goodnotes AI model.

    I previously suggested something similar, but I found a better example that demonstrates what I mean.

    Goodnotes AI

    • Goodnotes AI is included depending on the user's Goodnotes subscription plan.
    • In addition to the Goodnotes model, users can also use models such as GPT, Gemini, Claude, and others.

    Let users connect the AI services they already

  18. 이미지를 첨부하고 위에 필기를 쓰려고 하면 자꾸 이미지 선택이 돼서 불편해요. 고정 기능을 켜도 움직이는 것만 막지, 선택이 안 되게 막는 방법은 아무리 찾아도 없어요. 전에 문서 설정에서 이미지 객체 무슨 기능 있었던 것 같은데, 그게 없어진건지, 이제는 안 보이네요? 다시 넣어주세요 please ㅜㅜ

  20. Hello! i know the whiteboard already exists, but i feel they are quite limited in file size, as well as can get overwhelming for certain purposes. i think it would be great to ADDITIONALLY have an infinite scrolling note, but not infinite sideways, only downwards. This is a great in between for many purposes, and it is quite similar to a common format found throughout many apps such as apple notes, upnote, etc... having a goodnotes version of this would definitely be amazing!
    of course one thing to keep in mind is to add the ability to lasso "under a…
