  1. Can we add a feature for dotted lines. For example I draw a line then lasso it and select dotted.

  3. one type of paper that I like in other apps (and in real life) is dotted grid paper. it's like graph paper but instead of lines, there's just a dot at every intersection. example: http://www.dottedpaper.com/

  4. Make dotted lines of the lasso/selection tool invisible to a remote monitor or recording. This would give presenters the ability to live animate notes with motion, for example, in a physics lecture, to drag an object across the screen, illustrating constant velocity or acceleration, without the students seeing the dotted selection lasso.

  5. Make it possible to make a straight line between two or more points. Would be great to draw graphs with. Also would be nice to have the ability to make a dotted line, maybe choose space between the dots and so on.

  6. hi, i'm from brasil, and i have an android, I think would be nice if you guys put the option for wrinting with the keyboard, not the text box, because i can't make the words parallel with the dotted lines, and i would also like a larger dotted line option. thanks, keep the good work! kkkkkkkk

  7. These three things are much needed
    Auto Detection of Arrows is very helpful in many cases
    Dotted Lines/Dashed Lines are very necessary in Making Diagrams especially in mathematics and physics
    Duplicate feels more easy than copy and pasting the thing, adding duplicate with copy will save time
    Inverting PDF too seems necessary sometimes

    Only because of these 4 functions I have to sometime switch to notability and it does not feel good cause I have paid for GoodNotes

  9. Two dots on the dotted paper templates are a little over 1.1 cm apart on the ruler. It would be great for drawing graphs if they are 1 cm apart, so the templates fit the ruler. The same issue applies to the squared paper.

  10. I like to have my notes very densely packed, so I typically use the finest thickness pen and zoom in nearly all the way.

    However, when zoomed in, the lasso tool thickness (the blue dotted lines) becomes extremely thick and selecting small items is difficult.

    Suggestion: When zoomed in, make the lasso line width thinner.

  11. On goodnotes 5 the space between the dots on dotted paper were smaller, on the new version the space is bigger. Please bring the smaller one back <3

  12. I am an engineering student. After trying multiple apps your app has by far been the best for the college student who takes higher level math courses. Every other app that allows to draw decent shapes and lines are way too complicated and targeted more for artists. We need to be able to take neat notes that involve shapes and numbers quickly and efficiently. While I love your shape feature it is time consuming to draw 3D shapes while trying to incorporate dotted lines to show hidden parts of the shape. Having a dotted line feature as well as maybe…

  14. This feature is the ultimate tool to make GoodNotes 5 'the' complete notes app.

    If these features were to be added, then it would be tremendously high ranking and even better than MS Notes and other famous apps. After 2 years on Campus my personal experience is that most students enjoy using GN5, rather MS apps. The most asked for question in my class is if they will add 'this' feature, because then it would make it complete and is quite decisively when it comes to math and physics.

    I am sure that this feature would excel as it is…

  17. Would like to have more options regarding math figures.

    LectureNotes does this very good (see attached image)

    You can create and adjust coordinate systems, grids, dotted patterns, arrows, dotted lines and tables.

  18. I loved notability for this but I prefer Goodnotes for note taking, but we could adjust the spacing between the lines on lined paper. I find the spacing on Goodnotes narrow lined paper is too large for me and I’d love to be able to adjust it.

  19. It would be nice if we can change linetype (dotted, dashed) and thickness after selecting line with lasso like we can change color.
    It would be so helpful because now if i want dotted or dashed line after i write or draw something i have to redraw it again. It would be nice to just select it with lasso and change line settings like you want
