  2. okay but. When will Goodnotes 5 be for android? there are people who can't afford to buy an Ipad, but want to have the application for their notes.
    I think your earnings would go up if the app is accepted for android devices. and more this year 2022
    Hopefully, one day they will ask if they can put their application on the playstore. and I am part of those who are eagerly waiting for it to be in the playstore since I don't have enough for an ipad and I really need to make notes in this app
    Without further…

  3. Basically add an option where you could hide the toolbar, tabs and top menu to allow for a full screen note taking experience. Right now the toolbar is useful, sometimes, but extremely big as it takes up like 20% of the screen which does not feel very modern.

    Could add a small toggle for this pretty easily.

  4. My iPad is large and there is a lot of unused space next to the color dots on the toolbar. I think there could be space for extra colors.

  5. When using the lasso to select drawn items, there's an option to change the color and "resize" the selection. It would be convenient to also have an option to change the line thickness, as well.

  7. Have you ever considered adding a dropper option to choose colours? I think it would make it easier to select the exact shade you want.
    Thank youuuu.

  8. When I write on pages without margins, the left edge of my page is flush with the left edge of my iPad screen (or locked in the centre). This makes it uncomfortable to write from the very edge of the screen for left handed users. Could you possibly make it so the user has more control over how far left/right the page sits to allow for hand resting room?

  9. Hi, the shapes figure option has a lot of difficulty recognizing hexagones and octogones, and double lines. It would be really nice to be able to draw those shapes for organic chemistry! Thank you so much!

  10. The average engineering student spends most of their time either taking notes or exercising and practicing off a sheet much like the one visible in the screenshots.
    The current situation provides no comfortable way of displaying the assignments without the use of a secondary device or constantly "tabbing" back and forth between assignments and notes to copy them.

    As of iPad OS 13.4.1, Apple has still not implemented horizontal split-screen with many users suggesting that it may never happen.

    A splitscreen feature within GoodNotes would provide an elegant and intuitive solution in any situation where both viewing a document and…

  11. I’m in favor of ridding the laser pointer icon and placing an Audio recording button instead. Along with only having the master button pop up during presentation mode .

    Could maybe even allow some to choose what icons show preferably over others

  12. Have the ability to lock the app to always force a certain orientation. iPad OS is much more productive in landscape mode, so locking the goodnotes app would allow the use of goodnotes portrait mode without having to constantly toggle the apple orientation lock whenever I open and close the app.

  14. I find that to hold ctrl and double press I, the next character is typed in the form of subscript, but these features are not mention anywhere. Can you make a cheatsheet of goodnotes for keyboard?

  18. There is a noticeable lag while using the Apple Pencil as well as the rubber feature of this application. Goodnotes 5 is one of the innovative apps to bring some cool new features and customizable options, but this lag annoys me the most. The video is also posted where I show how the rubber tool lags.

  19. I found GoodNotes to be very versatile even for doing wireframes for mobile design. Although with the ever changing sizes, it would be great if we can customize the size.
    GoodNotes is also the most smooth note writing app I’ve used. It would be great to have an option for unlimited canvas so I can use it for larger brain storming sessions.

  20. Since we are writing with one hand (right or left) it is an obvious idea to give us ALL tools in the reach of the other hand. Come on, it’s not that hard to do this. :)
