  1. I would like it to be possible in the typing mode to write in Latex language so that I can format the text better and include my equations without having to convert them with the special tool (which in my case often fails

  2. Pasting a large text copied from another source into goodnotes doesn’t automatically moves to the next pages. Only workaround for this is to copying small parts and paste and then move to next page and continue like this. Text should automatically move to next pages if the area is insufficient for that page.

  3. I hope this gets seen!! It’s been a year!!

    Please let us preset text colours, I use text most of the time as it’s neater.

    I’m sure it’s not that hard to add in presets for text as you’ve already done so for highlighters and pens.

  5. Goodnotes is great. With the flash card option it is even greater and holds the potential to compete with Anki, the best-known provider for the creation of flash cards for effective and sustainable learning, since a lot of students like to write by hand which is not possible with Anki. Especially since the Anki app for tablets is available for the great expense of € 27.99. Goodnotes could attract a lot of customers with an expansion of the feature.

    At the moment, however, studying with more detailed flash cards on good notes is very exhausting as the content is displayed…

  6. As an interior designer, I use this to sketch floor plans with furniture inside. When I’m playing with my furniture layouts, it is impossible to keep the furniture to scale because I cannot rotate without accidentally resizing the furniture. Also, please allow us to group (and lock) certain things together (lines, shapes, words) so we can more easily move and maneuver only what we intend to. Thank you!!! Love this app.

  7. Please get rid of the text box feature in this app that makes you create multiple text boxes and have to manually re-size them. Instead make it so we have continuous typing without text boxes

  8. A lot of the notes I download for school have diagrams with text labels that the search function doesn't find. An OCR program built into the search function would smooth this over and wouldn't be difficult.

  9. I would like to have a feature where you can press and hold on any writing in the note and your pen will automatically use that selected formatting, similar to a colour eye dropper tool.

  11. I'm using a bluetooth keyboard with iPad when I'm writing and I find it really useful to change tools with keyboard shortcuts (instead of clicking the icons)! I think it would be better if you could also add a shortcuts for changing colors (for example command+1, command+2, command+3). I will really appreciate that and thanks in advance!

  12. I am studying Spanish, and I usually write the English translation of vocabularies in my GoodNotes Notebook. But the notebook can only recognize one of the languages which are sometimes a bit chaotic when I am trying to look for particular vocabularies. Thanks.

  13. When exporting files to my dropbox from goodnotes 5, the zip file produced by goodnotes contains file names with erroneous characters, if the file names contain special characters like æ, ø and å particular to the Danish alphabet.

    Unfortunately this renders your app unusuable in conjunction with the LMS that my employer (an upper secondary school) requires that I use for student exercise collection and correction. The students' names are included in all filenames, and quite many of them have names including æ, ø or å.

    The zip file produced by goodnotes and exported to Drawbox CAN be opened by…

  14. I have been using Notability for my class notes for over a year and am just now starting to use Goodnotes 5 specifically for bullet journaling. There are a few features I love in Notability that I think would be great in Goodnotes:
    * Clickable bullet lists when typing in Text
    * Alignment guides to show when elements are aligned to each other at right, left, & center

    And one other suggestion (not from Notability that I know of)... an optional line or dot grid that can be projected onto a page to help with alignment. Great if it can…

  15. I use Preview on OS X and highlighting is a pleasure on it because you can just select the text you want to highlight in the PDF by clicking and dragging (like you normally select text in a computer).

    Similarly, it will be extremely useful for me if the highlighter tool automatically snapped to the text in the document instead of working like a sort of painting tool that draws in a straight line above the text.

  17. I would love this app even more if there are more brush styles and color feature because it's difficult to enter code # or multiple choosing color without entering code. And also more themes , voice recording, and catagories

  19. If the user hovers over the shape recognition icon in the tool bar at the top, a window pops up similar to what happens when you hover over the pencil or highlighter. In this window, the user can select "Shape Recognition" which is what we have today or they can select "Shape Pallet". Different pallets could then be selected for things like Flowcharting Shapes, "Architectural Shapes", "Furniture Shapes", etc. A feature like this would enable GoodNotes to morph into a very specific type of note taking tool based on the industry and unique requirements of the user.

    You could also…
