  1. Remember the tool I last used in that specific document.
    E.g one document where the highlighter is selected and the other document keeps the pen selected, so the selection isn‘t app wide

  2. Make the new gesture control optional (so we can turn it off, if we don't use it and don't want to risk using it by mistake).

  5. The toolbox now has a set number of options, it would be useful for everyone if there is an option to edit the items in toolbox, so it can be customized to each individual use. For me I never use zoom or camera or text options, but I would like to have some extra pen colors.

  6. When i scan a book , it is faster and more convenient to scan to pages together and we also get some black spaces because the size of the book doesn’t match the size of the scanner.

    I want to be able to crop the pages (get rid of black spaces) and split the ‘ two page’ scanned page in the middle.
    This site is doing the task but we have to pay for that

  7. I like to convert hand written notes to text for transfer to Word etc. having to deal with the carriage returns your converter puts in is a pain. It would be much better if the conversion just used word-wrap and let us deal the the txt box shape.

  8. There is a problem with the shape tool, very often I have to repeat the action, because of missing couloring of the area I marked. It would be very nice, if it would be possible to coulor an area after marking it with the pencil.

  10. Could you fix the copy and paste issue?
    When I use the rubber band tool
    to convert handwriting into text and
    try to copy to another app there
    are un-wanted line breaks. It's impossible
    to get rid of them too.
    I would love to be able to
    copy right into my other word editor that
    my employer requires I send the final draft
    in.

  11. It would be nice if I could not only draw perfect circles and other shapes but also draw perfect semicircles and quadrants. That would make a lot of things sooo much easier!

  13. Can we give GoodNotes access to our location so we can have our notes location stamped in the Document Info section? That way we can also search for our notes based on location. Notes at home vs at the library.

  14. I have recently upgraded to Goodnotes 5 and loving it... however I've noticed that it's a lot harder to write neatly in the new version (i.e. my notes seem a lot messier). I'm using an Ipad pro with apple pencil (1) and the ball point pen selected. Is there any reason for this / a way to fix?

  15. When using the Eraser Tool with the "Auto-Deselect" option enabled, please revert back to the last USED tool, not the last SELECTED tool, when the erase is completed.

    For instance, if I am writing with the Pen Tool, then mistakenly click on the Highlighter Tool, but I don't USE it, then I immediately click on the Eraser Tool and erase some writing, when I'm done erasing, it reverts back to the Highlighter and when I try to write again, I end up highlighting.

    Since the Highlighting Tool was not USED, the Eraser should revert back to the last USED tool,…

  17. I think it would be nice to have more buttons in the top bar(there is enough space available) where you can customize pen or highlighter options and save them for quick access. An example could be button #1 pen color = blue, thickiness = 8 button #2 color = blue, thickness = 16.

  18. I would like to be able to change from pen to highlighter with a single key. P to pen, H to highlighter, for example. Would save me time, something that simple. Also, it would look way more pro.

  19. When working on a dark background, all GoodNotes highlighters are soo hard to see. they lose their color after I take off my pencil.

    There must be optional setting that colors stay the same, as in Notability.

    Yet, another reason for me why I have to use Notability.
