  2. I would love to have the zoom window tool on the mac version of the application. I use the ipad version and the zoom window tool really helps me take notes but sometimes I need to use the mac for certain note taking situations in the classroom. This would greatly improve my ability to take notes in any circumstance. Thanks.

  3. Allow us to make a custom watermark. For example i make legendary notes on my ipad and i send them to my classmates, but i want to add a watermark in app so they cant use it elsewhere. Right now i use some third party software where i have to put my pdf in and it gives me a pdf with watermark. With the built in watermark feature it will be very easy.

  5. Much like Google Docs or One Note, It would be nice to have an online access point to view and edit notes. This can be a solution to the unavailable PC App and viewing on a stranger computer, where you may not want to spend the time to download the app. (i.e. Group projects/study Share)

  6. Can you add a “merge” or “group” lines feature? It would make drawing shapes and ideas a whole lot easier. Similar to being able to group multiple lines or images on PowerPoint or google docs.

  8. I use this to take notes ehile inspecting houses. I take 50-60 or more during an inspection. While I can save each one individually (one at a time) to camera roll it would be awesome if that could happen automatically.

  10. I tend to paste images of text or diagrams onto my notes and I find myself using freehand cropping more often. I was wondering if there was a way to make my freehand lines straight? The best way I can describe it is I want my cropped images to look like a Tetris piece instead of a sloppy cropping. I can’t draw in a straight line and I would love for my freehand cropped images had clean lines.

  11. I would love a feature that lets me drop a picture into a chunk of text or hand writing and have the text wrap around it.

  12. I used your app for note-taking during class and creating final notes which I can review during exams. I think it would be a good idea to add a function where you have an "invincible" layer over your notes such that you can write down stuff without ruining the notes you made. It will be like a post it except that it is see through. It will work like photoshop where you can have different layers which you can show or hide.

  13. It must be great if you have your own cloud and I can keep all of my file in that and pay monthly or for free at any storage. Don’t need to keep in internal storage!! It will help someone who have less internal storage like me!!!

  15. Goodnotes allows you to set a return line height to match a template's line width, so that when you click the "return" button in the zoom window it moves down the page the right amount to begin writing on the next line.

    However, Goodnotes does not allow one to set a default "indent" setting for that template. Templates with margins -- for instance Cornell -- would be much more useful if the user did not have to manually set the indent each time / on each page of a notebook.

  16. Keyboard shortcut was introduced quite awhile now, but a major problem has show up.

    Currently situation:

    P = Pencil
    E = Eraser
    L = Lasso
    S = Shapes

    The major problem it’s the keys from each other are too far away, making impossible to use it naturally while handwriting at same time.

    So I suggest a better shortcut, just like notability (Or another way)

    Exemple:
    Cmd+1 = Pencil
    Cmd+2 = Eraser
    Cmd+3 = Lasso
    And so on.

  17. I am trying to print a range of pages in Goodnotes 5.

    I pull up thumbnail view of the pages in my notebook. I click Select, then mark the pages I'd like to print, then export to PDF, then I am not given an option to print the pages. I am only given options to upload to cloud, save to iPad, etc. The only printing features I can find in Goodnotes 5 are to print the current page and to print the entire notebook.

    I had no problems doing this in Goodnotes 4. Please fix.

  19. It's really annoying that text boxes move along my hand when I just wanna edit some contents.

    It would be nice to be able to fix each text boxes, not to move while dragging, editing or sth.

    e.g. when pressing a text box, option for 'fix' and 'unfix' could be possible.

    ((sorry, i'm not good at english.))

  20. Instead of "Using the Lasso Tool" guide button, you can change that area into toggle-able options for "selecting handwriting", or "selecting image", et cetera. With this way, I don't have to open the context menu from lasso tools, and also, that space will be more useful and UX friendly too.

    Please see my image for referencing.
