  1. It would be nice if I could set the pen to not be erasable. Sometimes, I do not notice that I am in eraser mode (with a big size), then I accidentally erase my notes.

  2. Would be great if it can also be sorted out by colours.

    That way, we can simply glance at what we've highlighted on a single page.

  3. I do sketching technical detail works on a black page canvas templates and usually I have to bring up a gradation colour set of white to grey.

    However when Im going back to another Notebook that is a white page I need to use black colours.

    It would be nice if we can first of all we had an option to switch between a customised colours of our own made set of 3s

    For e.g. I would have White, grey and Dark grey
    and Ill be able to hit a switch icon and it will cycle through to another made…

  4. In the app, there are two different menu points where you can change the option whether you want to fill in the shapes or not. But if I change it at the pen menu, the same change occurs at the shapes menu.
    But it would be cool to be able to draw not filled in shapes when the pen is selected an to be able to draw filled in shapes when you select the shapes menu. So that the two buttons are not connected together.

  7. I appreciate the setting of hyperlinks coming from other apps such as Keynote or InDesign, etc. However, I think it would be more useful the possibility to preview all the bookmarks on a sidebar whenever I want, being able to add shortcuts to any of my files inside the GoodNotes app.

  8. Have mathematical tools like the ruler, protractor, compass, divider, set square etc. For math students as holding a compass or divider over the ipad would damage the screen.

  9. There is an app muse, who to tell you the truth is a bad app but has a very unique feature and that it has infinity amount of flashcards on it that they can become bigger and smaller and you can even add a card inside another

    What am asking for is simple a flashcard that you see its containt and can controle its size that when you want to use you can make it bigger, this flashcard has an infinitesimal size or at least the size of a typical page

    This feature is like a game-changer for most of…

  10. On the Mac version of Goodnotes 5, it is a huge battery drainer and takes up a lot of CPU performance. My Mac is extremely loud from the fan usage when I am using the app. This makes it nearly impossible to use the app when I do not have a charger with me since it drains the battery within the hour.

  13. Apart from allowing users to lasso select a free range of notes and switching their colors, a shortcut could be added to facilitate this process. The coloring tool should be should be similar to a highlighter, but it only changes the color of existing brushstrokes it touches to a selected colour, instead of drawing new brushstrokes itself.

  14. Being able to type should be default on this app, like notability. It takes up way too much time to choose where to insert a text box, select it again in order to change something in said text box, and move things around. I love everything about this app except the lack of this feature, but its such a crucial feature that I’ve switched over to notability.

  18. 是否可以在工具栏加上一个锁定当前页面不可编辑的功能?因为页面长期处于可编辑状态很多时候在复习阅读笔记的时候会不小心触碰到里面的内容,有时还会误删一些东西或者不小心打乱了当前页面的排版。这样笔记还要从新编辑一下。如果有一个当前页面锁定功能就可以防止这些误操作。希望得到贵公司回复。谢谢。

  19. Please add a writing section tool to make space in the document, as on OneNote. The Lasso toll takes a little too long
