  1. In Microsofts OneNote its possible to import a PDF in a way that there is space next to every page of it. I really miss this in GoodNotes as this is a great feature to really work with texts an take a lot of annotations, event though there is no free space in the PDF. This would work great using landscape mode!

  4. The Battery Drain problem is enhanced sooo much on GoodNotes5. Draining with twice the speed of version 4. Even connecting ipad Pro to my macbook will still result in battery percentage going downhill. With less than 4 hours it consumed 15% power of last 10 days. While GoodNotes4 with 22 hours only consumed 50%.

  6. Please allow users to add multiple pen combos to the toolbar up top (like one note allows you to do on the iPad version). I switch often between colors and thicknesses of pens and it would be much more efficient if I could simply add it as a "quick pen". See attached photo for sample.

  7. I tried out OneNote before I caved and got an iPad just to use this app with a planner PDF. But what I did like about OneNote is the two colorful pens it has. That change colors as you write or draw. One looked like a rainbow and the other was kind of like a galaxy colors. Please add some like those.

  8. Currently, the dialogue box that appears when editing the color of selected text only allows users to select from the 'Custom' section. If users use their own colors entered in as hex values, and save them in the 'Presets' section then these won't be available to them without memorizing the hex codes. Having the ability to easily change the color of text and highlights to user presets would make recoloring documents much easier.

  9. Something similar to Creceed Carbo app. I'd love to be able to import a scan/photo of notes that I actually took in paper but edit them as if I wrote them in GoodNotes.

  10. While working with an iPad Pro 12" the navbar i kind of empty please add a fast option for color changing. It would be great if you would place about 5 colours directly between the boxwriting and the pen symbol and the pen thickness on the other side!

  12. Give the possibility to create own templates such as project plan, meeting minutes or any other use full template. Just provide a empty page, where users are able to draw/create their own templates with the existing tools (Handwriting, Lines, Boxes, Text, ...). Give the possibility to use that page as privat template.
    Additional to the creation of own templates, there should be the possibility to upload the privat templates to a platform, where users can share their experience with others.

  13. Right now if I try and resize a selected object, the only option is to resize the object on both dimensions (length and width), but I'd like to be able to resize on only one dimension sometimes.

    For a good implementation example, see the app "Inkflow"... they have both abilities there. But overall I like your app better so... please implement this feature!

  15. I’m a student which I know some other people can relate to is to know a lot of different languages and wants to make notes like in their native language or their secondary language. For example I would gladly be happy if there was more choices to choose for languages. It’s a little bit annoying to write when the dictionary says it’s wrong and have the red line under the words. Even tho it’s right and it’s in another language. If u could make it possible for more languages then it would change for most people using the app on…

  17. Hi, my main language is Slovak and I have been very excited to download your app and use it on my university lessons that start in September. I bought an iPad and Apple pencil and I am trying to learn to write notes on GOODNOTES. However when i am converting my writing into text, it keeps correcting my words into many different languages or wrong words and it is so annoying and frustrating. Not only it makes me mad but I truly will not be able to fix it constantly on my lessons. For my school, I will need to…

  19. Many engineering, computer and data science, maths, and other technical degrees do a great deal of programming. I love writing all my notes in Goodnotes, but all my code snippets are all over the place. Sometimes I do try incorporate code blocks in my notes, but the process of screenshotting, cropping, and pasting is a hassle. Having a feature (even one that can be downloaded) would be a massive convenience for a lot of users. Just a basic block that can be inserted into a note that displays a filename space. The tools tab can be loaded with, say, three…

  20. When I am trying to use the “study flash cards” function, it’s often too small to see, even when I write really large on them. No matter whether I see it on a tablet or laptop. I want a function so i can expand the study flash card window because it presents my flash cards so small and I can’t make it bigger to see it more easily.
