  1. Good Day

    quite a few companies use goodnotes on the flight deck. We regularly need to rearrange the pages in a special manner. Right now you can use the overview but you only can move one page by time. It really helps if you can mark several pages and move it to a specific spot.
    That would be a super B add-on :)

  2. Don't want to have to scroll all the way to a font I used somewhere else. A "recently used" section would be very helpful.

  3. I’d love to have a lab notebook mode where every page is automatically stamped with a date and time, and a locking button so that page can’t be written on after being locked, or can refer to that page by copying it, so as to meet lab notebook standards.

  4. I love being able to create notes on my iPad, but review them on my iMac desktop. Just like in Preview.app for the Mac, I would like to be able to select a single page view, two page view, continuous scroll view, etc. I'd like the window to just show one page at a time as I resize the window. Thanks!

  5. Compared with Notability, the search capability of GoodNotes is relatively poor, 1. I can't find individual letters if I'm trying to sort notes with letters, and that's not an idea. 2. It's also hard to find a word if it's near a highlighter marker or some line. 3. Goodnotes also can't search the middle part of a word, which is very limited.

  6. I create my notes off professors’ notes, and thus I need an option to go to a subsequent number when I hit enter. I still use Microsoft Word for this because GOODNOTES 5 doesn't offer this possibility. Also, it would be great if you could integrate GRAMMARLY to GOODNOTES 5.

  7. the shape tool needs to be improvised. following are my observation on shape tool limitations and features that require re inventing
    1. the resize option actually make the diagram thicker.
    2. the line do not perfectly align tangentially to other lines and circles
    3. The shapes tools should also have a auto deselect option like eraser.else if someone misses to switch to pen erratic drawing occurs and one needs to undo.
    4. the shapetool can occur some mathematical standard shapes like, ellipse, parabola, graph axes, sine and cosine graphs
    5. ability to move one vertex of polygon to achieve desired…

  8. The use I meant to do with the iPad is a sort of infinite whiteboard. And I use to draw diagrams and mathematical notation.
    Would I be able to use the Lasso tool for exporting formulas to something editable in text, like LaTeX? Maybe with a huge community of students and researchers currently using Goodnotes that may be interested to that.

  9. I've been pretty satisfied with goodnote. I came up with some suggestions that might help making this even a better notebook app. Would love it if the next update tackles one or more of them!!!

    It would be better if:
    1. The edge of the highlighter can be chosen between rectangular and round (currently, round edge is the only option)
    2. When altering the size of an image, one of the nodes are anchored to the original position.
    3. The transparency of an image is adjustable.
    4. Have layers so that the order of the images from back to front…

  14. I just got a new device and all notes were synched from iCloud with no complaints. However, I have noticed that the order my notebooks synced was not what I expected. I am not sure in what order you currently sync the data but I would love it to be based on the notebooks that were last edited. For example, if i get a new device and want to use it right away for taking notes in class, I want my most recent notebooks to sync first so I can use them

  15. I would love for the App to support full presentation mode for Powerpoint slides with all the animations and transitions

    with the ongoing pandemic, online classes are quite common now and teaching online requires an excellent app that can be used to stream to students.

    it would so awesome to combine the annotation capabilities of good notes and combine that with Microsoft powerpoint for awesome presentations to students.

  16. I am an engineer.
    I use GoodNotes all the time to produce flow diagrams at a professional level, good enough for tender documents.
    It has become a much more useful tool than AutoCAD for this purpose.
    I also use it to produce preliminary MEP drawings.
    Basic measurement tool with a simple calibration Tool could help a lot.

    Thanks.
    David.

  17. When you create a folder and make multiple notebooks inside it, they can only be reorganized by certain categories. We should be able to move them freely and organize them how we want.

  18. The text should write perfectly on the notebook lines, no more awkward spacing. The angle of the text should be allowed to be manipulated as well. There have been times where I have wanted to put my text vertically or at an angle.

  19. Imagine you already wrote 5 different combinations on the same page. Color, thickness, pen style.

    I'm thinking of a "picker" button on the left edge which I can press & hold with my finger. (enabling picker mode until I lift my finger)

    When I tap the pen on the document, a zoomed hover-view shows up, I drag onto the pen stroke I want to reuse & lift off both my pen and finger.

    Simple & useful.

    But now when I want to write a title after a black simple text, I have to click red color, increase the thickness, change…

  20. This was a feature in Good Notes 4, but I could not find it in Good Notes 5.
    https://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/4115825--last-viewed-page-button has it marked as completed, so I felt the new comments may not be noticed. I'm posting a new thread for it.

    Thanks.
