  1. The new ipad Pro (2019) allows you to open Notes by tapping the Apple Pencil to the screen and instantly start writing a Note. Once I have done this, there is no way to efficiently share this content directly to GoodNotes. Allowing GoodNotes into the Share options would help streamline the use of both apps.

  2. The handwriting experience in GoodNotes is now perfect but texting is not. I suggest that users can select an area of the page and use markdown language (or Latex for academic purposes)to organize formal notes, including mathematical functions. Such feature would be even better if one day we can see a macOS GoodNotes app, cause handwriting is not the primary way we interact with laptop.

  4. Your support tools for creating new templates is poor at best. The link to the YouTube video is deleted. The most recent info is 2 yers old!?
    I just want the simple answer to create my key tasks at the top of the page and daily notes below without buying templates on 3rd party sites. You seem to support the 3rd party eco system over providing SIMPLE instructions for users to for their own.

  5. I would like to convert an entire note to plain text (including all pages) with one export/convert/copy operation and not have to lasso select each page one-at-a-time.

  6. In GoodNotes 5, the ink in the fountain pen is too sensitive. More pressure makes the line much thicker than in version 4. And less pressure makes the line much thinner than in version 4. In version 4, the range of the ink thickness was much narrower. I would use ballpoint pen mode but that has no pressure sensitivity at all. Essentially I would love some option for a little pressure sensitivity but not too much. Can you please make that happen? In the meantime I will keep using version 4. Thank you!

  7. Set Text writing with Keyboard as default or make it so that you can write exactly on the lines of the Paper.
    I want to be able to import new fonts especially: century gothic and Arial Narrow

  9. It would be fantastic to be able to save preferred pen weight and colour combinations, say in the form of a ‘pencil case’ or similar, so that the same or preferred combinations can be easily reverted to, across files.

  10. As a left hander I frequently find myself accidentally touching the upper menu with the side of my hand. This causes unwanted changes in the pen type or turns on the zoom feature. I would be great to be able to hide or palm protect the upper menu to prevent this from happening.

  11. It appears that the only way to get a white piece of paper is to use the standard paper. It would be great to be able to change the default paper type color within a notebook.

  12. I would like to be able to create and edit the outline section, and make it exportable into a PDF document, too!
    That would give me a table of contents at hand which would make it a breeze to navigate around chapters of my documents.

  13. I’d like a paper template that uses the solid & dashed lines for handwriting practice. Many of us are new to writing on a tablet, and GoodNotes is sophisticated enough for practice to matter. I’m talking about paper lined like this:

    https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=handwriting+paper&safe=strict&client=firefox-b&dcr=0&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi7iJezksvWAhXqA8AKHSCDDYMQ_AUIESgB&biw=1366&bih=920#imgrc=m3s_HIkERhVqdM:

    Thank you.

  14. I want to import Outlook email messages into Goodnotes.

    Currently I use a computer to print the email as a pdf and send it to myself that I import directly into goodnotes.
    Is there a faster way? Can I do this on the iPad without needing a computer to print the email?

    Can you create an app

  17. I'm a student so sometimes while typing my notes, my professor makes an error or changes something so I can't go back to the text box to edit it. Also, whenever I want to bold one word or sentence, the entire sentence gets bolded. You guys should change this and allow us to only bold, italicize, and underline the words we want. Also, please please PLEASE give us the option to go back to our text box that we were typing in.

  18. Hi goodnotes is my go to app and searching accros 500 folders is becoming tedious so allowing pdf to have "tags" for example: my course note in algebra I put the tags "Course note" and "Algebra" and I can filter and find It in 2 seconds instead of putting it in favorite and look at all the others files that are favorited.

  19. I need to be able to swipe through the flashcards IN THE EDITOR. I do NOT want to go back to thumbnail view, click on the next card, check if it has an error, go back to thumbnail view, swipe down, click the next card, remember which card I just opened, etc! I don’t want to do this to add a new flashcard either!!!!!

  20. When I have a document open, the tab bar shows a tab for each open document. Also, the Home tab appears on the left in the tab bar. When I click on it, the tab bar with the open documents disappears. To get back to the open documents, I then have to open a document again.

    It would be easier if in the Home view (a) the tab bar remained permanently at the top (so that the Home view is just another tab), or (b) there was a shortcut called “Open documents” on the left.
