  2. Share a page with a web link, maybe is too much that the other persons you are sharing with can edit, but at least they can have a tool to point sections like the red pointer on app. So you can make changes on the app and the other people can watch as you draw flows or anything. That would be super helpfull, like a blackboard

  4. GoodNotes can be used a a great meeting notes tool. It would be nice to see an integration with iOS calendar (similar to Onenote: add meeting details) and with Reminders (add a new task/reminder)

  5. When using the up and down keys on the magic keyboard for the iPad Pro, scrolling in Good Notes 5 has no smooth animation, but harsh stops. In Safari the scrolling animation is really smooth, and gives a more convenient experience when reading long documents.

  6. For the Mac version of Goodnotes, the application should remember the previous window size and location (even on large external monitors) on each subsequent reopening. This is a standard feature of all "well behaved Mac applications".

  9. When uploading a powerpoint or PDF slides to goodnotes, it would be really nice if there was the option to make them slide notes. For example: there would be 3 slides per page on the left side then on the right side there would be empty lines to take notes on. Microsoft Powerpoint offers this as an option when printing slides. I believe this would be a great addition for students since most instructors teach off of slides, this way students can add notes without cluttering the slide or having to rewrite everything.

  10. It would be great to have pentagon, hexagon and other shapes recognized.
    Like a chemisty mode in GoodNotes.

  13. Add an undo function that allows a template change to be undone. I’ve lost lecture note slides when trying to change the template of a blank page inserted between the slides.

  14. When I write traditional I have to angle my paper. Not a complete 90 degrees. Just ever so slightly.

  15. When exporting a GoodNotes note to pdf, there is that bleeding of words (shown in picture). It loses that professionalism and clarity and I really do not want to stop using GoodNotes but these two factors are important to me. If there is no fix on this, I might need to switch to another note-taking app, unfortunately.

  16. 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.

  17. When I select an area and take a screenshot it opens another screen.
    It would be much better to have the option (Maybe in settings) to put a screenshot straight into the clipboard. A lot of the time I just want to quickly copy from an imported PDF document to separate notebook.

  18. 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.

  19. sorry I do not speak english very welll.
    my suggestion is a magic wand tool when cutting out the background of the image. I know you have the free hand option but it is limited and still leaves traces of the background of the image.

  20. 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).
