  1. Sorry, dear Goodnotes team, but sth is not cool with the new update 7.0.3 Whenever I want to draw a closed shape, it makes it all wobbly and creates some kind of text field out of it. What’s happening? How can I make it stop? I don’t need text fields, I use always my handwriting.

  2. Before, you could make a shape with a fill color, and erase the filler separately from the shape outline. Now, you can’t even erase the outline and leave just the filling, or vice versa.

  4. "We need an integrated LaTeX editor, allowing for a combination of text and LaTeX boxes. Additionally, it should have a comprehensive LaTeX library, and ideally, apps like GoodNotes should offer math and chemistry keyboards."

  5. Wonderful to now have a ruler... but please make it a changeable scale ruler. This is critical for architects and designers and will be life-changing in the app.

  6. I have some feedback and features that I would like to see added to the current (experimental) math conversion tool. Currently when you convert handwritten math to typed text it sometimes doesn't include all the math, or read some of it wrong, so I tried editing the latex text that can be seen at the bottom right other converting, but I am unable to edit it. Therefore, it would be useful to be able to edit the typed math right after conversion to be able to rectify some errors in the Al's interpretation and/or simply add things.

    Also, please make…

  7. pen smooth streamline procreate stabilization .

    There are a pages and pages of people requesting this as an improvement. They are scattered into many posts, but they are all trying to say the same thing!!

    The problem is, people aren't sure how to describe what they are looking for. It took me a while to discover they are called streamline and stabilization... and I have Procreate. Most people are typing in web searches like 'how can I make my writing smoother' or 'better handwriting with pen'. This feature is what they are looking for. It is too bad that it…

  10. I suggest you to absolutely add more settings for the new feature of typing mode, which allows users to write with pen and keyboard in the same page and in a better way.
    But I think you should allow users to change font, space between lines, change font dimension, ecc., just like is already possible in text box!.

    Please do it for us, I think it will be great making your app more and more complete and competitive, without doubt.

  11. This feature is the ultimate tool to make GoodNotes 5 'the' complete notes app.

    If these features were to be added, then it would be tremendously high ranking and even better than MS Notes and other famous apps. After 2 years on Campus my personal experience is that most students enjoy using GN5, rather MS apps. The most asked for question in my class is if they will add 'this' feature, because then it would make it complete and is quite decisively when it comes to math and physics.

    I am sure that this feature would excel as it is…

  12. After the new update, we got the option to have more than 3 colours in our tool bar, but we lost the quick access to pen size curser because of that.
    Definitely a downgrade.
    Having to click on the little icon to change the size is so annoying and time consuming.
    So please bring the old version back, where we can have our 3 pen sizes directly onto our toolbar.

  13. Please allow us to have options to send things forward and backwards. It would be extremely useful.
    For example, when you first write some text, and then you want to put a sticker or element underneath it. To do this, you insert the sticker or element but it goes above your text awkwardly (since layers are automatically done chronologically). To send the bubble back, you really don't have an option to, so you can either rewrite the text or move the bubble away and use the lasso tool to copy and paste ur text so it is moved to the…

  14. Please, let us choose custom color for toolbar or add some options. I know its purely aesthetic feature but I pay huge attention to my work environment and this weird toolbar color of Goodnotes is driving me crazy :) At least please add pure white option so I could make it more minimalistic, like Instapaper looks for example.

  15. 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.

  16. I work as a civil engineer in a paperless office. I have to deal with a lot of construction plans and for me it is important to be able to take measurements from those plans or draw in exact measurements. So I would be very pleased if a ruler, which can be set to a certain scale (e.g. 1:50) could be added to GoodNotes. Currently I have to resort to a pdf-software on my PC, which disrupts the workflow.

  17. Using the Apple Pencil Scribble function to convert handwritten words to typed text in realtime works very well, but it automatically converts capital letters (particularly the first letter of a word that is meant to be capitalized) to lowercase letters. For example, writing “Energy” with a capital E changes the word to “energy” with lowercase e. It also underlines the autocorrected word in blue. Tapping or selecting the word underlined in blue gives no option to change it back to the intended capitalization. This does not happen in any default Apple app. I’ve contacted Apple support about this, and I…

  18. I wish your app could allow Video and Audio Recording and producing nice tutoring videos similar to what possible in Doceri.
    Your app is much more user-friendly and performs way better than Doceri in any aspect, but unfortunately, it misses that feature.

  19. I think the app is great, but a feature that is missing is the ability to recognize txt on imported images and hand written PDFs.
    It would be great is you just added that feature like in ZoomNotes.

    Another thing that I find necessary is a feature to cover text on images (for example when importing screenshots to make Flashcards and you want to cover the text on the image). This would be really useful after having OCR on images.

    Another issue that I have is when drawing shapes. Although the option to color fill is enabled, this “fill” is…

  20. 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.
