  1. It would be great that you can extend your display with an external monitor, besides the already existing mirroring option. So that you can view good notes documents, while working on another on the ipad.

    (great for the smaller ipads)

  2. I have different color schemes for different books and it annoys me that I constantly have to change which three pencil and highlighter color shows on the toolbar. This would be an awesome upgrade!

  3. 大家都知道如果想关闭工具栏的弹窗只能直接在别的地方写。而对于想在弹窗处写字,不能在空白处(在空白处点击会留下墨迹,希望得到优化)或再次点击工具栏的图标来关闭。这样的操作真的非常反人类。

  4. Allow us to save words (learn spelling) - useful for technical vocabulary so that it converts properly from handwriting

  5. Improving the speed of turning books. Just like when I hold a real book, I can turn 100 pages at a time easily.

  6. I really like to have an easy way on iPad/iPhone and soon Mac (seeing Shortcuts coming) to create a task in a preferred To-Do app (like Things or so)

  7. Be able to create and switch between multiple user profiles. For example, you could have a profile for personal notes and another for your classes.

    Alternatively: include options in universal search to restrict results to only notes within certain folders. Offer more search filters. This would essentially achieve the same result as separating notes/folders by profile

  8. It could be good that if the pen cursor of GoodNoted 5 for Mac is changed to the cursor in OneNote (simply a small dot instead of a cross).

  9. When teaching I feel I have only two options: 1) Show the completed note set to students all at once or 2) Transfer the notes from another document into a blank goodnotes document. Option 1 can be overwhelming to students and option 2 can lead to mistakes when transferring the messages.

    A feature that could solve these issues would be the option to open a document in "teaching mode". "Teaching mode" would show the students a blank document, however for the teacher on the iPad (or other device) they would see the document they had prepared with all the writing…

  10. The document scan post processing for taking pictures is really good but I commonly take pictures of my notes to insert them into goodnotes using image insert because document scan creates a new page unnecessarily. Would it be possible to implement the post processing to any image after having taken the photo? Or even making it possible to insert images that get post processing using camera insert?

    Did an example of what it would look like by cropping the result from document scan below and comparing to what the camera gets.

  11. "Notability", "Noteshelf", and "Planner for ipad" apps have their own official stores where we can find sticky notes, arrows, templates, planners, stickers, and notebook covers. There are also a variety of sticky notes, arrows, templates, planners, stickers, and notebook covers. If you don't have the time to customize our own notebook, it's very convenient to buy directly from the store and use it right away.

  13. Just like the one penultimate (the app by Evernote for handwritten notes) has! It's basically an adjusted eraser size which gets smaller when you're holding the eraser still but gets larger when you speed the eraser.

    This could make it easier and quicker to erase things without having to adjust the eraser size every time.

  14. The performance of writing in GoodNotes 5 for Mac with a third-party drawing tablet/graphic tablet is terrible. I use a Wacom Intuos Pro S with bluetooth function and there is no chance to write properly as it stutters all the time.
    GoodNotes is no use for students/teachers if you can't work with a pen tablet and that's why I hope it will be updated soon.
    Until this happens, I have to use Microsoft OneNote, although I prefer the surface and workflow of GoodNotes.

  15. Would be very helpful if you could filter all highlighted passages in a text by colour, e.g. as in Adobe Reader. For example: you highlight definitions in red and theories in blue. It would be very helpful if you could then filter all highlighted passages by colours used in that document.

  16. Not a big fan of the very rounded shape. What about something more square or elliptical for pen options?

    It would make lines look more crisp!

  17. When testing on flash cards students can enter a time (e.g. 10 minutes) and the app will prioritise the most appropriate cards. This would allow students to use when they have a quick 10 mins in between lessons and know they are using the spacing effect well.

  18. Some books with many pages (around 1000) are not being auto-backed up to my GDrive. It would be good if you can fix this issue.

  20. It would be awesome if eraser could erase parts of images i paste in. It would make edits to a scan or a screenshot so much easier. Currently i have to lasso a blank part of the page, take a screenshot of that empty blob and paste it over where i want to erase. Allowing the eraser to actually edit the pasted image would be really slick.
