  2. You can copy an object to the clipboard or a toolbox. The clipboard would function as normal but the toolbox would allow for multiple objects to be pasted into the document without needing to re-copy. Would be helpful for repeated objects like graphing coordinate systems. Example workflow: select objects as normal using lasso, select “copy to toolbox” instead of copy. Select the toolbox icon from the menu in which a drop down list of objects is visible. Select and hold the object and drag into notebook.

  4. As a student/foreign language learner, I want to show/hide keywords or explanations from my written notes, so that I could review and recite the keywords/explanations.

    As a UI designer, I want to hide/reveal annotations, so that I could a) differentiate the annotating remark from the wireframe / structured notes and b) present notes (to myself and others) with clarity.

    I believe note-reviewing is an essential part of the note-taking experience, I try to be more proactive to learn through my notes. Some alternative apps I used are margin notes 3, and liquid text. Margin note 3 in particular, has a…

  5. Sometimes when I close the app, or it closes by accident, when I re-open the app, I'm always at the "front" documents page. As I have multiple folders, in folders and documents, I have to click a few times in order to go back to a previous session of tabs that I had open before the app closed.

    It would be really nice if when the app is opened, an option is available to go back to the previous session, or open the documents that were last open. So still open up on the documents page, but maybe a little…

  6. I often keep related documents together in a folder. So when I want to work on that set of documents I have to go back and forth to open all of them in their own tab. It would be nice to have the option to open all documents in a folder at once.

  7. I have a brain injury that makes reading extremely laborious and stops me cold after a minute or so. I have a need to “read” and annotate PDF docs, but don’t want to use a different app to speak the text and GoodNotes to annotate. It’s too unwieldy even with multitasking windows because the text does not sync.

  9. Notability somehow takes up considerably less amounts of space on the iPad compared to goodnotes. How can we optimise the data to maximise space saving?

  10. To build a special tool (as a highlighter) that allows to highlight all the title of document and creates, automatically, the index of document in order to avoid manually creation titles.

  11. Hey! You could you please add the old feature again so that I can sync the app with my Mac? It's super annoying to send all the files to my macbook, with GoodNotes 4 I was able to sync with Google Drive. This would help a lot!! Thanks

  12. I have a feature request for PDF presentations with animations. It would be very helpful to have a button, that allows to perform the following three actions in a sequence:

    1) Copy all handwritten notes on the current slide/page.

    1. Move to the next slide/page

    2. Paste all the handwritten notes at the same place as these have been on the previous slide.

    This button would be very helpful for having PDF presentations in lectures.

  14. Hi,

    It'd be great if, when you hook your iPad up to a projector via, e.g., HDMI, it could switch to a 16:9 format or use it as a mirrored screen at 16:9. Powerpoint, Keynote, etc allow you to this, but it'd be great if I could project what I'm writing to my class in a format that fills the screen.

    Thanks!

  15. Day One is not currently included in the list of external apps on export.
    I can use the lasso tool and save to screenshot and choose Day One from there, but it is a long workaround.

  16. There is a new way to move the zoom window when activated in GoodNotes 5 with just one finger. This is very annoying because most of the time, my palm is detected as a finger and the whole zoom window moves, so I lose focus.

    In the GoodNotes 4 app, when you want to move the zoom window, you have to use two fingers. Therefore, there are no accidents moving the zoom window.

    Please, stick with the GoodNotes 4 feature.

  17. When displaying a note to a display like a TV via AirPlay, you should be able to “lock” a note to the external display and allow the person using an iPad reference other notes without showing them to the audience. In other words, selecting a single document/page as the “Live” document in the presentation.

  18. 建议工具栏改成可以悬浮的工具栏,每次用橡皮,换笔都要移动到最上面工具栏才能操作,这是一种很差的用户体验。功能上确实已经做的很好了,工程师们辛苦了,但是用户体验真的是垃圾,可能工程师都不用做笔记,这么大的公司难道没有做用户体验设计的吗?
    悬浮工具栏按钮的功能,悬浮栏位置,大小,可以用户自定义。希望快快更新出来!
