  2. I like how the patch tool works in Photoshop, and I think it would be useful in GoodNotes too. I would use it to edit diagrams and remove parts, such as labels, that I do not want. Here is an example of how the patch tool works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II4lfxoNrJ8
    Even though the patch tool is commonly used to edit photographs, it can definitely be used for editing illustrations too. I have used the patch tool in Photoshop before, and I started seeing the need for it again as I was trying to prepare diagrams for GoodNotes. I feel that it would…

  3. Suggestion: Have the opposite corner as the pivot point when adjusting the size (how all document editors have it)

    Currently: Center of the image as the pivot point.

    Reasoning: To adjust images to the same size as the one next to it without having to constantly reposition the item

  4. Currently there is no way to write in a straight line using unlined paper in Goodnotes. A line guide built into the Zoom box would do the job nicely. This way you would be able to write straight on unlined or blank paper and never worry about your handwriting getting too big or too small as you write on blank paper. A line guide would allow you to safely write neatly in a straight line on blank pages.

  5. I wish I had the ability to select a line and change just the thickness of the line (just like you can color). I often draw things and realize the object it too big or small. When I change the size of what I drew, it changes the thickness as well. I'll often misjudge how something looks and not realize the lines are all too narrow or too thick. This would allow me to select them and change them to a new thickness (much like you can color) without changing the size of the object.

    Several years ago, there were…

  7. The use I meant to do with the iPad is a sort of infinite whiteboard. And I use to draw diagrams and mathematical notation.
    Would I be able to use the Lasso tool for exporting formulas to something editable in text, like LaTeX? Maybe with a huge community of students and researchers currently using Goodnotes that may be interested to that.

  8. I have a professional app that allow user to create a virtual desktop on whatever thematic. Inside you can bookmark all the file, page, folder related to that thematic. I find that very pratical.
    It would be great that Goodnotes develops this. For example we could create a desktop for "Gardening" where I could link all the documents already in Goodnotes, relating to gardening, it could be a whole file, a folder, a bookmark.
    Then I could create a desktop, "Current homework" with all my current work, like a temporary desktop.
    It's very interesting because you don't have anymore to…

  9. When converting handwriting to text, it maintains what is written on each line but not the text size. It would be a great feature if the text size was maintain.

  10. I am a new user I really enjoy this app but there are some features that will be handy for all for us users of Goodnotes 5. Starting with a setting of margins for the templates ( I print my notes to put them on a binder and some of my notes gets cut of with the hole puncher), a ruler (this will be super handy, I know I can use the shape tool but there's people that work with measurements)

  13. Smart Panel - Model Number: SBID-MX065

    Our teachers would love if GoodNotes created an app for our smart panels.

  14. Have a pen or an ink that only shows on the iPad, and not on a presentation screen. This would allow presenters to annotate their presentations without the audience seeing the notes. It would be useful for fill in the blanks, presenter notes and comments. A presenter could even "pre-draw" a picture, which could then be redrawn live.

  15. Right now, we can scroll through the pages (vertical scrolling) only using our fingers. It would be awesome if we could scroll through the pages vertically by using the apple pencil on the non-page areas (the grey areas on the side of the page). Thanks!

  18. I am trying to print a range of pages in Goodnotes 5.

    I pull up thumbnail view of the pages in my notebook. I click Select, then mark the pages I'd like to print, then export to PDF, then I am not given an option to print the pages. I am only given options to upload to cloud, save to iPad, etc. The only printing features I can find in Goodnotes 5 are to print the current page and to print the entire notebook.

    I had no problems doing this in Goodnotes 4. Please fix.

  19. For the users who have their Goodnotes app on their personal devices and use Mac at work, it would be great to give them the option of signing in our personal iCloud account on the Mac from Goodnotes (instead of using the system iCloud account, which belongs to the company).

    I could sign in Appstore with my personal Apple ID and download Goodnotes for free on my company Mac but I cant use it since it doesnt sync with my own iCloud account.
