  1. When I have more than half of a page left but can't fit my next note, I want to add the next blank page to continue what I did on the previous page without having to re-paste the entire note onto a new page. In addition to taking notes, I also want the roping tool to move across pages, which is faster and easier than copying and pasting. This function works on notability.

  2. Allow use to take a screenshot across two pages. The lasso tool only allows you to select across a single page.
    If there is something on the bottom of one page and something along the top of the next page that you want to select, you are out of luck.

  3. Bilder und Texte sollten, ohne sie kopieren und einfügen und dann das alte löschen zu müssen, auf eine neue Seite geschoben werden können. Zumindest im Vertikalmodus macht das Sinn und wäre eine Zeitersparnis.

  4. When adding a new document (PDF) to Goodnotes, it would great to check if the document is not already in the library (Apple Books does that already).

  5. Make it possible to "Magic Wand"-select a color that you need to crop away on a picture, so that you're left with only the image on the page, no white borders around it. (The same way it can be done in Photoshop or even Apple's Pages & Keynote)

    e.g. Red dot on white square picture, becomes only the red dot that I can freely move around in GoodNotes, without hiding text behind the white border.

  9. In pen tool and highlighter tool, only three colours can be set at the same time, but is there any way to set four or more colours on the tool bar at the same time? Personally, I use black, red, blue and green frequently, but every time I need to switch one of three colour settings. Since there is still space on the tool bar, the app should allow the users to add more colour settings on the bar (like Microsoft OneNote). What do you think?

  10. Functionality:
    Using grid view you could import a long PDF sideways while being able to scroll the howl document down. You could name, hide/collapse and do other actions on sections by having a menu on the left and right of the page. Names could be saved in the outline feature.

    Use cases and benefits:
    Grid view could be beneficial if you have a long PDF you import and want to make Notes on a separate page. You could split the screen, but this would be much more time-consuming.
    It would also allow to skip a section of a document much…

  11. Add a special highlighter. And a button which can switch the highlighted part to be between transparent and solid black. It can be useful to hide the answer of a question so that it helps people memorise the answer or the important part in a passage. Besides, the answer can also be revealed by using apple pencil while the tip of the pen is near the highlighted answer.

  12. This feature is very limited and has become a nuisance as I write my notes. Notes and Nobility have this feature. Hopefully, this can be incorporated into the next update because this app is my go-to for schoolwork.

  13. It would be very helpful if you improve the tab option for example: The tabs which are opened out of one folder could be included in 1 Tab like a dropdown list. I have opened lots of pages at the same time From different folders.
    Thank you very much and best regards

  14. Changing the color to green or yellow, will make pdf reading more friendly to eyes.

    Many people using goodnotes to read pdfs will stare at the screen for a long time, but now the white color is a bit harsh and tire eyes.

    Another app PDF Expert is just well-known for its protecting yellow color. Hope goodnotes will add the function.

  15. It would be great if we could move a page from a notebook to a different notebook, or a document in a folder to a different folder with ease, without copying and deleting. A move function would be useful to be able to organize my notebooks with ease.

  17. Goodnote 5's ability to add PowerPoint to the app is lacking. The content is out of place to compare to the actual slides, with one reason being font enlargement after translating into the app. There is a failure to recognize certain symbols. Also, some slide content would not appear, due to font enlargement occupying excessive space, leaving no room for a certain context, then the app automatically not shows those contents.

  18. I really appreciate that there is GoodNotes for Mac as I use both iPad and Mac depending on the context. Quite many times I am reading a research paper on Mac in the browser and if it is interesting I would like to import the PDF in GoodNotes. This requires that I first download the PDF and then drag-drop in the GoodNotes. It would be wonderful to have either a possibility to paste the link/URL to import that document within GoodNotes or a sort of chrome extension that imports it. This way there is no need for the intermediate step…

  19. I sometimes face the problem that the app only suggests to jump to the next line in zoom window when I reach the last centimeter of the line I am currently writing on, so my idea is adding a setting which lets you choose how far on the page you have to write for the zoom window to jump to the next line.

    Also, I want to be able to control where it jumps to in the next line, not only the start.

    It would be even better if you could set a default in the app settings, but are…

  20. Instead of the current process: Lasso --> Take Screenshot --> Share Menu --> Copy
    Suggestion: Lasso --> Press and hold to lift (screenshot) and drag to desired location
