  1. This will help those of us who can't draw a straight line. The function would work by tapping two points, then everything would be highlighted in between and would default to a straight line in a horizontal, or vertical manner.

  2. With the recent update, a pop-up window started to appear whenever I drag my GoodNote note to add a page. This new change is extremely uncomfortable whenever I am in a rush to write down professors' comments. Please remove this feature ASAP.

  3. There is a glitch when I am using my IPad air and writing notes. White blocks appear covering the content when I am zooming into the notes. I didn't pay good money to get these weird glitches.

  4. The number of grid spaces vertically (# of columns) should be a mutiple of 6 (or 12 would be even better). That way we can use it to divide our notes into however many columns as we see fit!

  5. I think that overall, good notes is excellent. However, I tend to have difficulties in accessibility between my devices and when trying to type on one device and write on the other. Sometimes my laptop won't even let me type and I will have to completely shut down the app and start it up again, losing my progress at times. It is incredibly frustrating and I wish it could be easier to use when I want to switch from handwriting to text. Also, bullet points!

    1. Select handwritten text and convert it directly to typed format.
    2. Convert objects (Text) as separate entities/objects
    3. Allow selection and movement of text similar to handwritten notes (where you can lasso a letter, word, sentence, or paragraph and move only that section as opposed to the whole text box

  6. Renaming notes while it's open became an issue after the last iPad OS update. Most of the time it opens multiple tab-opening options. It will be great if GoodNotes align their renaming option a bit far from those three horizontal dots.

  7. The flash card feature is great. Improving on that I would suggest questions tab. It is basically a feature linked with Highlighter. When we read a PDF document we mark important lines with the Highlighter. The new feature let's you add a question to the highlited segment and the question is displayed on the side. When revision of the topic is required and flashcard or in this case questions revision tab is activated the highlited portion (I.e. The answer to the question) should be opaque and the reviewer needs to attempt questions like a flash card. Based on his satisfaction…

  9. At the moment if I am in the vertical scrolling and I have in my exercise book pages with different sizes, like A5, A4 and A4 rotated, the maximum scrolling edge in horizontal is big as the biggest page in the hole document. So if I am writing on a A5 paper (because image was A5) GoodNotes let me scroll further than the page size. Also if I import an image and this is not perfect in A4 format it would be helpful and nice, if I could resize it to A4 for example.

  10. Applies to teaching with PDFs slides. When a slide have several bullets, you can create one page for each bullet (incrementally), but this kind or PDF slides works very bad with scrolling.
    Please add a three fingers slide (or similar) for 'instant' page change.

  11. Hi Goodnotes
    I have tried using Goodnotes 5 on my M1 macbook Air, and well it is just about useless, I love using Goodnotes 4.13.5 on my 2013 mini 2 ipad, it is just so uselful, with the text suggestions, easy to move text around on the ipad, to change the font size, it is just a brilliant experience.

    When I bought my M1 mac air, and I bought Goodnotes 5, I thought if Goodnotes 4 was brilliant, GN 5 must be a factor better, it is 100 times worse, and I just cannot understand why....

    I would spend $50…

  12. I hope I can see more documents on the home page at the same time by merging some options to the same line. And, change the create new document to a circle with Plus like what we see in social media. It may looks a weird and unnecessary request, but that's what you do when you give a 'hide status bar' option, right? And I keep that open all the time. Thank you.

  13. It’s not always easy to know what page u are currently on just based off of the page number itself, especially when you have higher quantity of pages within a notebook. It would be helpful to have a small picture of my current page (maybe under the page number or somewhere else) to ensure I am actually on the page I think I am so that I don’t accidentally delete/ copy/ insert the wrong page/ location. Currently I have to click the 3 dots first to verify the page I’m on bc 77 out of 120 doesn’t tell me much…

  14. please add a feature where the ball pen has a tip sharpness, i dislike the way it looks and enjoy that more rigid writing style without the added pressure, such as the fountain pen

  15. To improve the accuracy of handwriting searches, it would be ideal if the user could edit the recognition results to some extent.
    My handwriting is clean, but sometimes there are spaces in words such as English words, and when this happens, they are not found in searches.
    Also, no matter how many times I rewrite my handwriting, it is always different in GOOD NOTES, so I can't search for it.
    I am a Japanese speaker, so I use hiragana, kanji, and katakana, and I sometimes write in English and other languages. I expect it would be difficult to recognize them…

  16. Hello,

    The interviewing series recommends wearing a three button suit to an interview. The gentleman at the suit shop informed me that this has been out of style for over five years and will make me appear dated. I realize that the podcast was made sometime ago, and I want to be sure that I have not missed an update regarding dress code for interviews. I also realize that he may tell me this, simply because he no longer carries that particular suit.

    Is the three button suit, still the recommendation?

    Thanks,

  17. When taking notes on a Good Notes 5 - iPad Pro , I take pictures with the iPad camera. I need to use these pictures separately in a MS Word documents, however there does not seem to be a way to export the pictures separately (eg JPG files). Also when exporting the Good Notes document as PDF, the contained pictures do not appear as Pictures in the PDF document, and as a result I cannot save them separately, or even Copy in Clipboard !!! They appear as Comments, or some other item, but not as pictures in the PDF document…
