  2. As a mathematics student, I wish GoodNotes can implement a graphing function, because it is so difficult to draw a good sine wave.

  5. the ability to show the screen at true 100% or alternative 200/400/50% scales would make it much easier to review technical drawings.

  6. Create a default font, text size, and line spacing that will line up with a narrow and wide rules template. Or, add adjustable line spacing, space before paragraph, and space after paragraph options. It is obnoxious when text on a Cornell template or any other for that matter doesn’t match up with the lines.

  7. In imported PDF drawings generated in autoCAD standard SHX type text is surrounded by a thick black frame, destroying the appearance of the drawing.
    This does not happen in acrobat for iOS.

  8. I believe that you all should do an X-ray feature like kindle does that allows you to view only the highlighted portions of your document. This will allow a more condensed view of the things that you deemed most important in the document. This would be so helpful with students as it would allow them a much quicker way to create summary sheets of lectures by distilling only the things that they highlighted ie. what they found most important.

  9. I write with lined paper, but would like to remove the lines afterwards. It's just not feasible to do this at present, having to change the template of every page one by one.

  12. Please add more function on adjusting a space between paragraph line. When using pdf file, I can’t adjust the line spacing to make it fits to the line given in the file.

  15. I just got a new device and all notes were synched from iCloud with no complaints. However, I have noticed that the order my notebooks synced was not what I expected. I am not sure in what order you currently sync the data but I would love it to be based on the notebooks that were last edited. For example, if i get a new device and want to use it right away for taking notes in class, I want my most recent notebooks to sync first so I can use them

  16. Add option to change page template of entire document (pages) all at once.

    I use "squared paper" template when I write notes. It helps in maintaining a good hand writing experience. But to review/read, a white background feels much better to go through. Also while exporting it as pdf, blank background is better to read with. It very tiresome to change individual template of 200+ pages individually.

  17. When moving things around using the lasso tool in large documents I often experience that some text just randomly disappears. Sometimes it can be entire pages and it is very frustrating as a student when you just finished a page of an assignment and suddenly it is gone. If I restart the document then the text is back. Also I experience a lot of lagging when in a large document. I think these two things have to be fixed because I find GoodNotes the best note taking app on the market except for this rather disturbing error.

  18. It is getting tedious for me to switch between 6 commonly used colours with a 3-slot palette when there is clearly space on the app interface to accommodate all 6 of them.

  19. Hi! I'm big fun of GoodNotes5 using everyday!

    Summery

    I want to suggest to implement new function.
    It's file explorer pane like VSCode.

    Why I suggest this.

    When I edit lots of files, it's difficult to move to other file quickly. If there is File Explorer Pane on the left side like IDEs, it's easier to move to other file.
    Regards.

  20. For adjusting what should be selected with the lasso tool you always have to open a dropdown menu. This could be done with the property menu on the right. That would be faster and you would see directly, what the lasso tool is going to select before using it.
