  1. Right now, it is a little bit complicated to choose new colors in GoodNotes 5 since one has to tap on several menus to arrive at the color wheel. I wish there would a a feature that'd show previously used colors in a palette, down there the usual colors. (Also: adding colors to the palette is confusing! And the hexadecimal RGB-Code shows the value "#ffffff' no matter what color until you move the color picker.)

  2. Suggestion: Have the opposite corner as the pivot point when adjusting the size (how all document editors have it)

    Currently: Center of the image as the pivot point.

    Reasoning: To adjust images to the same size as the one next to it without having to constantly reposition the item

  3. macOS version desperately needs to be included in the share menu so apps can send data to Goodnotes e.g send webpage content and share PDF to be imported into GN5.

  4. I have an iPad Pro, there's lots more space in my toolbar for more than 3 "circles"/swatches to quickly select colors. If I could remove icons I never use (such as Detail view, image and presenter mode), there would be even more space. Right now, I'm always using 7-8 colors simulaneously, having to switch constanly is rather annoying.

  5. Hallo :)

    ich fände es schön, wenn man den Seitenhintergrund von mehreren Seiten gleichzeitig wechseln kann, da dies handisch sehr mühsam ist und bei mehr als 20 Seiten super lange dauert! z.B wenn man ein neues Seitenformat benötigt.

    Außerdem wäre es cool, wenn man kleine Tabellen einfügen kann.

    Freundlich Grüße

  6. Like for the eraser, please add the option to deselect highlighter. The main purpose of this app is for annotating with pen, not simply highlighting. Like the eraser, it’s frustrating having to tap the pen every time I finished highlighting.

    Like for reading a long book, after highlighting a good quote I want to be able to go back and annotate straight away.

    This small addition would be very helpful.

  9. Agnostic OCR, whatever languages

    When make a notes, usually I pick the words that I have them the most easier to remember, in whatever languages.
    As an Indonesian people, sometimes i use English, Indonesian, or even local language, whichever diction that the easiest for my brain to remember.
    Maybe OCR per character would be able to implemented that, although not sure about mathematical equations which needed some symbols.

    Thank you.

  10. I am still using the Goodnotes 4 app because the pen thickness options are much better. In 5, the ball pen is either too thin, the smallest option, or too thick, the middle option and higher. None of the present options feel natural. In Goodnotes 4, I use the 3rd weight (2nd thickest) and there is no direct equivalent in 5. The variations between thicknesses in 5 is too great.

  11. Wacom stylus support for Goodnotes 5? Very much needed. Since goodnotes 5 is supported by iPad prior to 6 and iPad Pro's it's the only way

  13. It is fairly easy, at least once I learned how, to drag and drop images into good notes. However, as buggy as it is One Note allows you to copy and paste videos. I feel it would be a great addition to GoodNotes if you could drag and drop embedded videos into notebooks.

  14. If we could Change color of “already written text”by tapping stroke with a tip of Apple Pencil while choosing colours with left fingers It could save more time than erase the written text , go to choose color and writing

  15. It would be nice to attach a reminder do a notification could remind you to follow up on certain things. I use this program for work and right now I use a combination of the handwriting search and color coding to know who I need to follow up with but it’s super tedious...reminders would be amaaaaazing.

  16. The combination of free style drawing like in GoddNotes4 and the way MyScript Nebo handles the handwriting recognition (inline) would be absolutly amazing. The organizing of notebooks, the template handling ... nearly perfect in GoodNotes, the hadwriting recognition of MyScript Nebo ... excellent. And now, please, combine it.

    Thank you!

  17. Could you guys consider to create a function that users can insert page numbers to files so that it's more convenient for users to arrange when they printed it out as well as going through their notes in devices.

  20. Currently, pages must be dragged one by one to another location in a notebook (in the Edit mode). This is quite tedious when multiple pages have to be moved elsewhere in a long notebook : you end up dragging one page from the top to the bottom of the notebook, and then repeat for every page, instead of dragging all the pages at once.
