  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  6. 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.

  7. 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?

  8. 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,…

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  14. please allow users to search Chinese notes, I need to take notes in Chinese, but it can only search English handwritten notes, which is inconvenient for foreigners.

  17. Wie wäre es mit einer Stempel Funktion um sich eigene Stempel zu erstellen und diese zB mit bei Unterschriften einzufügen?
    Natürlich kann man das via Bilder machen - aber dies zu integrieren wäre natürlich netter

  18. When writing notes, or creating drawings it could be helpful to have a "lock" tool so when moving/resizing/or color changes can be grouped together (instead of each time needing to circle every individual part and possibly missing something)

  20. Want more language to be recognized in order to get more use out of the app. It would be more practical to have more languages available for equal access and use. It’s harder to use the app when you are limited to use only part of the features available.
