  1. I would like to import a Folder Structure, including Subfolders and Documents and find that structure represented in GN5 after the import. This would make GN5 a much easier to use Documents Management System if one has a lot of Documents before switching to GN5. Currently one has to create the whole Folder structure manually and import the Documents for each Subfolder separately.

  2. When you're trying to copy anything on GoodNotes 5 by selecting on the lasso tool and select copy. It "always" take a few moments to load, even though the item size is very small. I don't understand why I need to wait for the program to load everytime. It's very annoying!
    Ps. GoodNotes 4 and Notability do not have this problem. When I'm trying to copy, it processes instantaneously.

  3. 建议缩小工具栏的面积,或者将多行工具栏合并为一行(空间完全够)。在看文档时工具栏占据了太多屏幕空间。

    同时希望可以自定义工具栏位置。

  4. When GoodNotes starts in the Documents Home view, I usually already have several notebooks open that I'm working in. In order to get to those notebooks (and the tabs displaying them) I have to go find and open a notebook that is already "open." From the Documents Home view, I would love to have a list of already open notebooks to go directly there upon app launch.

  5. I would like to be able to write with the magic keyboard as easily as with my pen, without interrupting the flow of work.

  10. Like the apple notes app, it would be cool if the eraser would get 'bigger' if you hold the pencil at an angle on the iPad and small when the pencil is straight up.

  12. A third section of the color picker with document-specific themes and colors would be nice. I have lots of documents with different color schemes that are made confusing by the current color picker setup.

  14. It would be nice to have something to let you know when something is space - centered, something like what appears when you are doing and instagram story. It is a little thing but I think it would make a big difference making digital notes more like paper notes where you can make sure something is centered.

    Btw, I love the app! It has made taking digital notes a whole experience for me, thank you!

  15. It would be nice if there was a possibility to write on a page just like on a normal Word or Pages page, without having to insert a text field you have to adjust. I usually take notes with the iPad, but lately I started preferring taking notes with the MacBook. I have a lot of issues with the text fields we have at the moment. It is fine if I have to add some notes to a PDF file, but starting on a blank page is just a no for me.
    This has become such a big problem for…

  16. Good notes is the perfect app for maths practise as maths requires a lot of practise. It would be great if you could just select a set of equations and the app would automatically detect the variables and numbers and solve the equations. This would be of tremendous help

  17. I name my documents in the following way:

    2020-11-15 Team Discussion
    2020-11-17 Meeting with ...
    2020-11-18 anything

    I would like to see the document with the youngest date string on top. Sorting by date doesn't help in any case, because sometimes I change something in a document - but the sorting shouldn't be affected ...

  18. First chose the sentence or word range or something you want to hide to remember.
    Second , changes the mode normal to hide mode, then the range you chose first would be disappear , and if you want to check the answer of the range , the double tap the range.
    It will be more usable for all users.
