Dear GoodNotes Team,

I am writing to you trying to support the development of your app. I’m a pretty big fan of GoodNotes 5 as I have been of GoodNotes 4. I’m using it for over 2 years now but sadly there are still things I considered a downgrade between the applications and some things not only I but as I was reading through the feature requests many people wishes that seemed to be ignored. I also read many same opinions that have repeatedly been suggested so I think it is very difficult for you to answer them all or to determine which suggestions are very popular.
First I would like to address the downgraded features I don’t understand and would like to know why the have been removed. For example the tools in the Zoom window. I can’t imagine anyone who uses the zoom feature to like that. It’s a real pain to always have to go to the bottom or the top of your iPad to select the eraser or your pencil again. Also the option to skip two or more lines automatically was very great and takes me a lot of time to hit the Return button every time now. If it’s possible it would also be great to be able to use the laso tool in the zoom window.
Everything else I’m very happy about and I Love GN5. Thanks a lot for this great Note taking app there are so many well thought things I really appreciate like the independent file system where I can add PDFs as sheets in between and rotate any page individually and I love the folders and the handwriting recognition, the cropping tool for fotos and the fast way to edit and add fotos, and also the incredible fastness and smoothness of your great app.
Although there is a feature I would really really appreciate because it’s very annoying to do. I’m in an engineering class and have to draw a lot of arrows graphs and tables. So my most important request would be a feature they have already implemented in the OneNote app which makes this a lot easier. I don’t know what to call it so I added a picture in the appendix. With this feature GN5 would be the dream Note taking app.
Even better would be to be able to edit the arrows to add a scale for example but that’s just some ideas which are probably very difficult to implement. And maybe also add a doted line. Every engineer will love that :)

Furthermore there are lots of ideas that I read that would be amazing but I don’t know how difficult they are to app.
For example...
- The option to freely sort my Notes and folders the way I want. I have notes that have to stay together with different names and that’s not possible at the moment
- The option to password protect different notes or folders
- To add templates for folders to to make it look nicer
- To add a ruler and a triangle ruler for lines and angles
- The option to add the date or/and the time if needed would be very handy
- The possibility to move pages between notes by drag and drop. When I have to notes opened I would like to just drag and drop the pages from one to the other
- Bullet point and numbering would also be very good for people who use the text option a lot
- To add sticky notes on a page just to remind you of something
- To be able to create links between pages
- To audio record as many people ask for it. I don’t personally want it. But it seems to be very popular. Also I wouldn’t want it if it means the app would lose it smoothness and speed. Like notability for example that is really laggy and annoying to use.

I apologize for my bad English and for this long writing but I hope you can consider some of the things mentioned.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you keep improving your app.

Thank you for your kind attention and patience.

Best regards
Lucca
