  1. Sometimes I want to get an overview of my notes by checking the correlations between them

    Thanks for the suggestion. For now, please try opening the same document in two windows side by side. You can drag and drop the page from thumbnail view to the side and navigate both windows independently.

  2. After many years of use I can only say that for me the only missing feature is the ability to convert Greek handwritten notes into text. Is there any chance of this coming to GoodNotes any time soon?

  10. In goodnotes, we can only create outlines of the same level. For example, the first section in the first chapter of notes should belong to the first chapter, but we can't create outlines with levels. Outlines are more like a directory, which is very inconvenient without level management. This demand is very urgent and we hope to get attention.

  11. In my work I write a lot in both Italian and English. This is somewhat a problem because handwriting recognition in GoodNotes seems to work only for one language at a time. And the switch between languages takes time. have you planned future improvements of the app to address the needs of people working in multi-lingual environments?

  15. I would love the ability to go back to previous screen or page instead of having to scroll through after clicking a embedded link . For example I use a digital planner and while I’m looking at weekly view I might click Monday for example, thus taking me far away from my weekly page. I then have to swipe through or go up to my bookmarks to get back. A simple gesture or button that’s essentially backs up would be the greatest user friendly improvement .

  16. Drawing shapes such as boxes or ovals around handwritings for highlighting certain words or phrases causes inaccurate handwritings recognition in GN5. The reason seems to be that GN5 treats shapes drawn by the shape tools just like regular handwritings made by the pen tool, unlike Notability.

    The only workaround seems to be only using the highlighter tool for emphasizing certain text since GN5 doesn't consider highlighters as text to be recognized, but the highlighter tool doesn't offer precise thickness control unlike the pen tool.

    Notability seems to treat both the highlighter and the shapes differently to the handwriting made by…

  17. An ability to precisely select the eraser size rather than just a choice between three sizes (all of which are huge!) would be very helpful.

    The standard sizes for the eraser are all very large and so even using the smallest means that part of the words above and below end up getting removed. I appreciate you can zoom in to get more precision, but it interrupts workflow and is not a speedy or efficient solution when trying to take notes of a live meeting and keep up!

    The feature I am suggesting is already implemented in relation to the…

  19. I work in engineering and am always using an engineer's scale or architects scale. I use goodnotes primarily to keep all of my project plans organized in one location. I would be helpful to have a scale tool that would allow me to measure the plans according to the scale provided on the plans.

  20. Most textbooks today are available electronically, but the MAJOR shortfall is the inability to easily annotate or take notes on them, specifically handwritten ones. Most readers are using not desktops/laptops, but tablets and phones with touch displays. Research shows better learning retention with handwritten over typed notes. If Goodnotes could truly allow this handwritten annotation function somehow, especially in Kindle app which we ALL have and use. Either a way to drag a Kindle book into the Goodnotes app, or an app extension for Kindle. Besides, what a better company to partner with like Amazon. Both companies would win as…
