  1. It'd be good to have an option for this
    In Notability, in a vertical scrolling document, when you write at the bottom of a page, it seamlessly lets you draw through to the next page. On GoodNotes 5, you are forced to remain constrained to the current page. Maybe have a page lock option or something to remedy this issue since it'd be useful for people who like unlimited scrolling documents.

    • having the stats on how well you doing for Study mode flashcards
    • able to view all flashcards in small tabs like for the other notebooks, but add that feature to flashcard because having to edit the first flashcard you made, but you have 100+ total flashcards is soooo time consuming!

  2. When jumping to a specific page, Good notes is using its own count of page numbers, which often differs from the count the document is using, especially for scientific literature. This leads to the reader having to write down two page numbers for reference, one for the scientific quote and one to actually find the quote again using the "jump to page" option. A great option would be to adjust this manually, e.g. telling good notes "this is Page 72", so the actual page numbers of the document can be used as reference.

  3. Ruler or writing grid that is not really on a page after using the tool would be amazing. Because apples handwriting to text doesnt work with many languages!

  4. It seems there has been a change in a text box function.
    The text box didn't move until I selected [T] or text function.
    But now, with a slight touch with my hand or finger, the text box is selected and moves around. This is very inconvenient because I usually take notes by typing. I have more than 150 pages written down and now whenever I try to review the materials with my apple pencil, it moves.

    In the video I intended to touch it with my hand because this happens suddenly. I hope you fix this problem.

  5. If I am on slide 50 of a pdf powerpoint but I want to keep referencing slide 9 multiple times quickly, I would like to press one button that would take me to the "previous page". So I could go between slide 50 and 9 at one press of a button

  6. Allow the creation of slides which "build", like PowerPoint's "appear" animation, without making multiple pages.

    I am a university professor; my colleagues and I use GoodNotes heavily both for teaching and presenting our research at scientific conferences. One of the last advantages PowerPoint has over GoodNotes, for our use, is the slide animation feature, where objects on a single slide can be made to appear one at a time when the slides are presented. To replicate this behavior in GoodNotes right now, the standard technique is to build the slide over multiple pages, using the page duplication feature. However, this…

  7. It would be very nice if there could be many features added like more pen options like marker, pencil, calligraphy, etc. it would also be nice if there could be a streamline feature so that when you write, the handwriting isn’t so “jerky” or “jittery.” It would also be nice if the highlighters didn’t overlap.

  8. It would be amazing to be able to add a grid overlay to documents. I primarily use GoodNotes to annotate note slide pdfs with blank backgrounds and i find it would be much easier to have neat and straight printing if this feature was offered.

  9. A toggle setting for handwriting to be automatically aligned (moved to be written in a straight line) and letter height adjustment so they appear more even.

  10. It would be great, and useful for my organisation, if we could change the colours of files instead of having them all blue!

  11. I am a teacher and it would be so great, if i could add links to external pdfs or other files to my handwritten lesson plannings and mindmaps. I dont want to import files. I just want to write for example „next chapter. hand out prepared sheet [link to sheet].“ and click on it. So I can use the idea later without the trouble remembering which sheet/file I need. Know what i mean?
    AND: Hyperlinks within goodnotes. Links to other pages within one document and links to other goodnotes documents. That would be just: wow.

  13. please add a feature to place the toolbar vertically on the Left/Right side of the screen. It's really useful as you don't have to move your hand way up or down to change tools or colours as well it allows larger space for writing.
    Similar features are available in notability and apple notebook 👇👇

  14. I would like to be able to mark which flash cards I don’t want to study, just like you can mark a page as favourite. Because I made flashcards for my entire chapter, but I only need to study certain things from that chapter. It would be nice to just be able to disable s the flashcards you don’t want to study.

  16. As today we have only 03 colors & three pencils options to switch between. There’s space to at least the double of each in the toolbar.

  17. I would like a folder navigation option that would display the folder structure and allow for quick navigation like is in Outline or OneNote. The folder structure is good but unless I have preset favorites, navigation is very tedious.

  18. Being able to save more than one text style is necessary for Titles and Headers while taking notes. One more reason I have had to switch to notability. They allow three saved text favorites with font, color, and size.

  19. Hello, I would like to give goodnotes a suggestion. Can we add a second or multi-level heading to the goodnotes outline, which will allow us to find the target page more efficiently. At present, it is really inconvenient to only achieve a first-level title, and it is hoped that it will be adopted.
