  1. Ich liebe diese App und benutze sie täglich in der Uni!
    Eine Funktion, die mir fehlt ist, dass man in ein vorhandenes Dokument (in meinem Falle das vorlesungsskript) Hilfslinien oder ein raster einfügen kann. So könnte man ordentlich und gerade mitschreiben und wenn man fertig ist die Hilfslinien einfach wieder ausblenden. Das wäre großartig!

  2. It would be interesting to have a feature where we could enlarge the sheet we are working on or writing. Often the content is large, for example: mind maps, summaries, planning, action plans, and we are limited to having to break the idea to fit everything.

    If we could enlarge the sheet, fitting more content into it.

  3. When searching in korean, the results are not conveient. For example, when I search the word "굿노트", I expect the pages which include "굿노트". But Goodnote shows me all the pages which have "굿" and "노" and "트" separately. This example is same in English : searching "good", then result is all the pages which have "g", "o", "d". This means Goodnote can't understand Korean words perfectly. So searching function is useless for me when I search in Korean.

  5. I am a student and I use goodnotes to take notes or write down my idea. So I always need to swap between pen and eraser when I make some mistake, I think it is so inconvenient clicking screen to swap between the tools.

    I suggest a feature, auto swap back to pen tool after using eraser(for about 2 seconds without continue erasing)

    THANK YOU!

  6. GN5 has LESS functionality in the zoom bar...

    Going back and forth to the top of the screen is adding a TON of time whenever I just want to switch a pen color for emphasis, or delete a mistake.

    I was really hoping the zoom bar in GN5 would have MORE options!
    (*There really isn't much reason you couldn't add the ability to duplicate the entire main menu, or select elements we use often).

  7. the text boxes system is outdated, unconfortable and breaks the "note-taking flow". Add tap & type as, for example, notability, or a similar function.

  9. The toolbar should be small or flexible enough to allow a smaller windows for the split view in macOS. At the moment GoodNotes uses almost 2/3 of the screen, in previous versions with the hidden toolbar you could size the window freely.

  11. I need to grade term papers and would love to simply sync (or drag and drop in the GoodNotes desktop app) a folder with PDFs and export all of them in one step when I am finished.

  12. Good Notes is perfect for me as a site manager to take plans to the construction site. What I miss very much is a tool to measure. I would like to measure it out of a plan.
    --> A measuring function!

  13. Wacom stylus support for Goodnotes 5? Very much needed. Since goodnotes 5 is supported by iPad prior to 6 and iPad Pro's it's the only way

  14. Remember the tool I last used in that specific document.
    E.g one document where the highlighter is selected and the other document keeps the pen selected, so the selection isn‘t app wide

  15. My favourite feature from GoodNotes 4 (and the reason why I use GoodNotes more than Notability) was the ability to create my own document outline by adding named bookmarks.

    Please bring back that feature!

  16. The writing area in GN5 is actually reduced with respect to 4. I spend 100% of my time writing notes in the same colour, so the always present toolbar is a waste of space. I would like a toolbar which contracts when not used and expands when touched, something like the menubar in OSX. More writing area! At least, make the toolbar more compact

  18. Put undo button back!!!

    Add option to drop straight down — not just left, right, and return

    I constantly wish there was an option to move zoom box down

  20. Due to the fact that apart from my iPad Pro I‘m still working with my iPad Air 2 I would like to see the Wacom Fineline 3. Gen. stylus supported in GoodNotes 5!
