  1. I will use different pen style when taking notes in class. I need to switch very quickly. But Goodnotes only can quick switch 3 colours which is not enough.

  4. If expanding the margins isn't possible, maybe there could be an option to have the pdf pages imported as vector images (like .svg) on a goodnotes page. That way you could move around and resize each page of the pdf to create margin space where it is needed. This is different from importing the pdf pages as rasterized images. Text should still be readable even if the imported page is scaled.

  5. Handwriting flashcards is a great idea, but it would be even better if we could print them with proper formatting (double sided) with the question on one side and the answer on the other. This would be really helpful for practicing with physical cards for studying rather than staring at a screen, but also gives the ability to add images / organize diagrams and such more cleanly.

    Thank you for your consideration!

  6. In GoodNotes for Mac, enable 'page up' and 'page down' keys to quickly flip through the pages. The up/down arrow keys are performing continuous scrolling and they are too slow.

  7. The current undo history is global, or per document. This is quite confusing because tab is the focused object and if I did something and tap undo, something happens in another tab. To me this is quite bad design.

    I'd love to see a per tab undo history, or at least an option.

  8. The writing experience needs a for-real chisel point, fountain pen look. The app Notesplus has a gorgeous one, but I had to give it up because GoodNotes is better in every other way. But man, I miss it. See examples uploaded...

  9. Please insert a doted line like in notability. And the eraser that transforms a normal line into a doted line. That would help a lot.
    Thanks

  12. It would be very useful to insert a function that, after selecting an equation written by hand with the pen, using the lazo tool, recognizes this and calculates it automatically.

  13. I've been using GoodNotes 5 since it had been launched. I found that my handwriting was not as good as in Notability. The ink in GoodNotes 5 seems to lag. I feel like it tries to bend my stroke all the time and I'm quite annoying this. I've tried to set the pressure sensitivity to low, medium and high, however, it stills bending everytime. So I have to write slower in order to make a beautiful handwriting and sometimes it wastes a lot of time!

    Ps. I've used GoodNotes 4 before too. The GoodNotes 4 doesn't have this problem.

  14. Add a list on top of the list view to be able to filter folders and documents in the current list quickly.

    Search feature does not search for folder names, only documents.

    Thank you in advance!

  15. Allow for us to zoom out further than the page width, or to allow side by side viewing of pages similar to Microsoft Word/ Adobe PDF reader.

    Some times it would be beneficial to get a more "bird's eye" view of the document when creating or penning down ideas

  17. after I have quickly noted and scribbled something I would like to order some stuff afterwards, sort and make it more readable. For example, write headings thicker. Currently I have to erase what I wrote, choose a thicker pen and write again. It would be cool to be able to change the width of the lines afterwards.

  19. we really really need to be able to resize png stickers from the corner, not from the centre as it work now
    we also need the rotate separated from the resize because its just too easy to accidentally rotate when you do not wish to
    I have heard so many people on the net say they have requested this, please consider in your next update
    thank you

  20. I have been using GoodNotes for over two months now. The only thing I would point to as poor is the text input/editing functions. Please add a few basic options such as Bullet Point, Check Box, and Tables.

    GoodNotes is my favorite note-taking app, but the text function could be improved a little more.
