  1. Sometimes when I lasso some text and then deselect, I
    ALL THE SELECTED TEXT DISAPPEARS.

    undo/redo doesn't do anything. Sometimes the text reappears after a few minutes of writing, sometimes its just gone forever. Very frustrating, has been happing for a few months now.

  3. The purple-blue colour of the tool bar is not idea for corporate sessions, and does not fit with the dark mode scheme.

    Could you give us the ability to change this colour? Alternatively, if it is dark mode, the colour of the tool bar should be a shade of dark grey or black.

  4. Hello!

    I absolutely love your app, it has completely changed the way I take notes and I love it!

    I do have honest suggestions that would greatly improve this application from the student's perspective.

    1. Toolbar Customizability; The ability to add more than one tools that you often use into the toolbar by dragging and dropping. For example, I really wish I could add more than 3 colours on the main toolbar. I switch between a lot of colours, and it is quite a pain to go into each individual tool section and choose it. Why not drag and drop your…

  6. can yall make it more similar to like how onenote allows you to create bullet points and overall a better typing experience in the case that i rather type out my notes on my mac rather than put them into word and can have all my notes in a single place.

  8. The handwriting experience in GoodNotes is now perfect but texting is not. I suggest that users can select an area of the page and use markdown language (or Latex for academic purposes)to organize formal notes, including mathematical functions. Such feature would be even better if one day we can see a macOS GoodNotes app, cause handwriting is not the primary way we interact with laptop.

  9. Organization- That's the point where people sometimes prefer notability over good-notes. Saved file in folder like windows is a very old idea. It's so hard to get the note when It is necessary. Please try to make this feature as it is in notability.

  10. I have a lot of files in Goodnotes. Sometimes I want to access them in two folders but don't want to have two separate files. Therefore, please add alias to the file system.

  11. Presentation mode through wifi (indicated URL in web browser).

    The presentation mode is available through Apple TV and an HDMI cable. It would be great to present the screen of Goodnotes wirelessly to an external screen, such as a digital whiteboard.

    The app "Airsketch PRO" has this feature by typing an indicated URL in the webbrowser of the external screen. Bringing this feature to Goodnotes makes presenting much more flexible. No need for an Apple TV and without a cable you can walk further away from the external screen.

  12. After a day of meetings, I find myself not remembering to go back to the "action items" (or forgetting the action items.) Would be so powerful if action items were automatically added to iOS reminders, or even if there was a quick manual way (i.e., circle the actions with lasso and have option to create/add to remdiners.)

  13. I think that the quality of hand written characters should be improved.
    when I handwriting, I get to many sharp edge at the start and end of writing. So need to automatic clean-up function.
    also the straight line should be improved automatically when the handwriting characters.

  14. As a student I like to use different colours for different subjects - I think pastel coloured A4 templates with both narrow and wide rulings plus a margin would be very useful.

  17. Set Text writing with Keyboard as default or make it so that you can write exactly on the lines of the Paper.

  18. In goodnotes4, this button is really useful! However, I can’t find it in the new vision, which confuses me a lot. Please set this button for users to go back where they viewed just now. I believe it helps many people.

  19. Love this app, but for basic functions while using it, I too often wish for free scaling of objects I draw. What happens is- if I draw the object a little off... instead of being able to free scale it... I have to undo and redraw the object just right. Free scale like this would also mean the objects would be "flippable" which I sometimes would also find very helpful... instead of deleting and redrawing.

  20. I would like the option in GoodNotes 5 to be able to give a title to a bookmark. This was available in the previous version, and I think it would be a good to reinstate this.
