  1. When you copy an item and go to paste it again Goodnotes can lag, sometimes up to a minute.

    The issue can occur at anytime but is more prevalent when you are copying something from one page to another in the same document.

    Goodnotes also freezes for up to 30 seconds for no apprent reason every now and then.

    We have 4 I pad

    It appears the delay/lag is occuring while Goodnotes is wrting data to either iCloud, Google Drive or both.

    We have 4 x iPad Pro's running Goodnotes 5 and the issue is present on all 4 devices.

  2. If you have different iCloud accounts you have no way to sync your notes so a log in option on the app would be great rather than just the pay option

  3. Remove the "Command + D" when within a document. The reason for this request is "command +F" is a function I use often. Because of the proximity of D and F on the keyboard, I often mistakenly duplicate an entire book, sometimes containing thousands of pages and notes and imported pictures. Another fix would simply adding a prompt "are you sure you want to duplicate all 1xxx pages?" then have to click yes. It locks up my computer when it duplicates. Thank you!

  6. Searching the pdf can be more simple. like document by readdle . The bold topics are bold and every matched word along with the line is shown on a defined space.

  9. I have been annoyed whenever draw a rectangle to surround words or sentences or draw a line on Goodnotes 5 on iPad.

    Goodnotes 4 was way better than Goodnotes 5 about Geometric tools.

  12. Please add a ruler it is really hard to do geometry exercises without one. Ok you can make the line straight but you can’t measure the distance especially when the line isn’t horizontal or vertical. It is also next to impossible to correctly calculate degrees. Thank you in advance.

  13. When using the magnifying option to write notes, it is frustrating to keep moving the box while writing. In the app Notability, the magnifying box would move once the writing reach the end of the box that way the writer can continually write without interruption.This would make taking notes more efficient.

  14. I miss the bookmark icon too, but I also understand that toolbar space gets scarce - there might even be other features upcoming that need it.
    So why not overlay the bookmark icon/button on the actual page - in the top left or right corner, like every ebook reader app does?
    (Zooming and scrolling ensures it could not cover up something on the page.)

  15. Would like to be able to add a template for larger paper

    At present, the largest paper template is a tabloid, but due to the nature of the work, I am used to thinking and recording on larger paper. In other recording apps, there are 300 times the size, such as "Unlimited Draft". Although I don't need such a large paper, I still hope There are larger paper templates, such as large newspaper templates or modules that are several times or even ten times larger than the current tabloid. Thanks.

  16. Creates invisible slides so that you can make some slides or pages "invisible". You would not see these when you normally go through the pages, only if you click on them they will show up. This way, students could hide pages that the professor noted as >not relevant to the exam<. The amount of pages would be smaller without the need to delete them.

  20. When making a card it would be nice to have all functions available, such as draw, type and pictures.

    One idea could be to have the classical top menu where the pen, eraser, hilighter, etc are found but also include a “Type” option that allows the user to type notes in the center of the card, just like it is in the current version. After that, the other tools can be used to add onto the text, such as hilighting or creating hand written annotations.

    It would also be useful to add both pictures and text to the same card.
