  1. Add a highlight option to have a round tip or chisel tip. The chisel tip would be the exact same as the current highlighter but it would have straight boxed ends instead of round ends.

  2. Paging Transition WITHOUT any effect (like one can with PowerPoint or Adobe Acrobat).
    I use GoodNotes in virtual meetings as well in presence ones. The page transition animation are ‘nice at first’ but always distracting, specially in cases of two or more pages that are identical except a few visual clues (like an added box to call attention to a detail)… in those cases a clean, seemless transition, is a MUST.
    I saw many other suggestions of the kind here, all SHUTDOWN by some ‘moderator’ as being a non issue that you can set the presentation mode to always full

  4. I find it very inconvenient to write a text. I feel uncomfortable trying to edit the characters because the text box keeps moving. I want a function to fix the movement of the text box.

  5. Have a up/down and left/right button for scrolling between pages so that I don’t have to swipe. Easier to switch pages and let it align perfectly every time.

  6. ability to add links in Notion to notebooks or even specific pages in Goodnotes 5, maybe even allowing backups over Notion so you can view them on PC and Android through Notion as opposed to e.g. Dropbox

  8. I don’t need you to tell me I’ve pasted a page successfully. I’m not blind. Just let me do whatever I need to do and don’t force me to stare at that stupid check mark for 2 seconds every single time.

  9. Sometimes when you use the same hexcode the colours between the pen and highlighter don't match, I then end up messing around with colours until the match better, would love if the highlighter matched more :)

  10. Imagine someone is writing in black paper with white pencil but he wants to print his notes. It would help if he could choose all the pages he wants to print and change both template of paper as well as the color of the pencil. Especially for the color there could be a choice that says change color A (specifically) to color B so as to not lose all other secondary colors.

  11. Please bring back the DOUBLE LINE SPACING option from GoodNotes 4. Or an adjustable option that varies with the TYPE size entered. The default lines are TOO thin for proper writing for some of us.

  13. I miss the font "Annai MN" for the iPad. Like this my learning leaflets look very different when I create them on my MacBook vs looking at them on my iPad.

  14. It would be great to have an option to make all pages the same width (or at least displayed so). When pages have different widths, they tend to move sideways when scrolled vertically. And this is very unpleasant.

    When importing pages from different sources, Notability makes all pages the same width by default, and this makes scrolling very smooth.

  15. This is very annoying when reading over the stuff you wrote. My Apple Pencil is somehow very sensitive when it covers to double tap gestures, so this is a must have.

  16. I wish your app could allow Video and Audio Recording and producing nice tutoring videos similar to what possible in Doceri.
    Your app is much more user-friendly and performs way better than Doceri in any aspect, but unfortunately, it misses that feature.

  17. I want to start by stating that I absolutely love GoodNotes.

    However, as a Student, I am not able to purchase the largest capacity storage version for the iPad (as I am sure many students can agree).

    With the file size of the data getting so large, it can quickly eat up so much space, (even on the brand new iPad Air 5th gen).

    Is there any possible way to reduce file size and still be able to edit the notebooks or notes. This would be perfect!

  19. As a planner and student, it would be so helpful to have an adjustable opacity for pictures that we insert. This would allow text underneath to show or for layering stickers or for block scheduling. It would really improve planning on the iPad. Thank you!

  20. Hi! I’m in medical field, constantly studying and reading PDF files along side-taking notes, so I use the iPad split screen feature everyday.

    Whenever I use the split-screen feature, I cannot easily access the colors of my pens unlike if I were in the 2/3th split view or full screen view of the Goodnotes App. oI have to click the upper right portion to change the characteristics of my pens which would waste a lot of my time since I take a lot of color-filled notes.

    My go-to PDF reader application, “Documents: allows me to set specific pen characteristics in…
