  1. 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.

  2. GoodNotes 5 has adopted the use of very small thumbnails, which almost obviates the intent of being able to easily select a relevant page.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. My goodnotes documents are extremely large because inserted photos. I would like to select photo from library and the choose size of file... like when I send an email.

    Also when I take photo to directly insert into a Goodnotes.. allow me to be able to control file size.

    Also... GoodNotes should allow me to see size of my file.

  11. 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.

  12. Please add B5 paper worksheet, because there is no B5 choice and most college students are using B5 paper because it has a lot of space to write and i'm unable to print my notes to B5 paper type.

  13. 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!

  16. 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.

  18. Today my iPad ran out if storage space. I checked the usage page in Settings and Goodnotes was taking up 4GB of space. A few minutes later the iPad automagically launched into "cleaning" mode for Goodnotes and then, voila, the app's usage had dropped to 65MB. I create a lot of big files in Goodnotes but regularly clean them out when I'm done. It would be great if I could manually trigger a cleaning of the app's cache so that it doesn't grow to several GB again.
