  1. The Battery Drain problem is enhanced sooo much on GoodNotes5. Draining with twice the speed of version 4. Even connecting ipad Pro to my macbook will still result in battery percentage going downhill. With less than 4 hours it consumed 15% power of last 10 days. While GoodNotes4 with 22 hours only consumed 50%.

  2. When I paste more text than will fit on a page the text gets cut off. Is there a way to get it all onto one page? Not ability can spread text between as many pages as it takes.

  3. Unreal APP, been using for ages, can someone PLEASE add a "ARE YOU SURE" when you clear a page. The button is so close to "GO TO PAGE" Button, if you inadvertently push the clear page button in error trying to use the go to page function there is no second chance and no way to retrieve the data.VERY PAINFUL.

  5. The cutout tool should work over pages. If I'm cutting out a text or object on page one, then vertically scroll a bit down to page 2 I should be able to move the marked object over the pages to place it on the new one without copying it every time just for rearrange purposes.

  6. Please add a Feature (and make it default) that objects like text boxes and images snap and align to each other (like in iWork) when moving and resizing. Thanks!

  9. would be great to have a built-in cloud storage for all the notes, no need to rely on iCloud
    given that goodnotes 5 on iOS has an insanely powerful global search function, it would be convenient to have it's own cloud that allows you to search for the exact note

  10. In GoodNotes 5, the ink in the fountain pen is too sensitive. More pressure makes the line much thicker than in version 4. And less pressure makes the line much thinner than in version 4. In version 4, the range of the ink thickness was much narrower. I would use ballpoint pen mode but that has no pressure sensitivity at all. Essentially I would love some option for a little pressure sensitivity but not too much. Can you please make that happen? In the meantime I will keep using version 4. Thank you!

  13. I am still using the Goodnotes 4 app because the pen thickness options are much better. In 5, the ball pen is either too thin, the smallest option, or too thick, the middle option and higher. None of the present options feel natural. In Goodnotes 4, I use the 3rd weight (2nd thickest) and there is no direct equivalent in 5. The variations between thicknesses in 5 is too great.

  14. a multicoloured pen, like varying colour in just one pen. sparkle pens will be awesome too. it will really great for us students who like to have a little bit of creativity and fun with their notes. As you write, the colour changes according to a gradient, eg found in onenote

  15. It is important to record hand written notes and the order the where taken in. For example when writing math notes, you can be working on a problem and write all around it with note or cross something due to elimination process of the problem. When reviewing the notes later on it can easily be confusing when the original problem has been marked up. That’s where stroke recording can come in handy. You can watch your process replay in front of you and see your own problem solving process. This is very important especially for students and STEM field workers

  17. There are times where I’ve lasso’d a diagram that I’ve drawn or handwriting and I’d like to drag it to the next page but it won’t let you. You have to copy, paste and delete to get the same result

  18. You draw lines / insert pictures / etc. and then block further editing of those, so you can write and edit the text / notes within the blocked lines e.g.
    - writing within a grid without having to pay attention to changing the grid
    - writing headlines when brainstorming, and only changing the content of the set areas

  20. I have a brain injury that makes reading extremely laborious and stops me cold after a minute or so. I have a need to “read” and annotate PDF docs, but don’t want to use a different app to speak the text and GoodNotes to annotate. It’s too unwieldy even with multitasking windows because the text does not sync.
