  1. When you're trying to copy anything on GoodNotes 5 by selecting on the lasso tool and select copy. It "always" take a few moments to load, even though the item size is very small. I don't understand why I need to wait for the program to load every time. It's very annoying!
    Ps. GoodNotes 4 and Notability do not have this problem. When I'm trying to copy, it processes instantaneously.

  3. Instead of having to scroll through different tabs for notes when several of them are open, they should condense and all stay on the screen for easier access (similar to how google chrome tabs do)

  4. Please fix “keyboard shorcuts” while in text mode. Goodnotes for some weird reason only makes you select a letter to switch between tools instead of “ command and the letter. So when trying to type on a external keyboard i cant type a P,E,H,S,L,I,C,or T with out it completely switching tools and existing out of typing mode. I feel like this is pretty big oversite and is unfortunately the only reason i have to us notability over good notes when typing at times. I can understand if this is a mac feature but as far as an ipad goes its…

  5. I am suggesting to add a setting to be able to more the undo and redo buttons to the magnifying screen for easier access. When writing notes in class it slows you down to have to go to the top of the screen to undo. I believe that this is just a apple pencil gen 1 problem since we do not have the double tap feature.

  6. How about an extendable (in centimeters/ adjustable) section to the left/right of scanned documents where you can take notes (in line with opening a new tab but a little bit more streamlined). This way you could have annotations within the document and more real estate for actually writing within the document.

  7. last week I had to edit many summaries that were in the wrong format and I got tendonitis from having to keep clicking to increase the spacing between the lines. it would help a lot if we could edit and write the size we want, in addition to having the + and -

    p.s.: i use good notes for mac

  8. It would be nice if I could set the pen to not be erasable. Sometimes, I do not notice that I am in eraser mode (with a big size), then I accidentally erase my notes.

  9. The largest highlighter option isn’t big enough and it would be nice to have an option that is double the size.

  10. I like the non-linear note taking that an infinite canvas allows. Especially when doing a pdf paper review over zoom, it is useful to be able to break out to the side of the pdf page and draw illustrations of various points for discussion. When not presenting it can still be useful when note-taking to be able to add notes along side relevant pages/equations in a PDF. Otherwise you end up adding notes in pdfs just as you would in the paper version - constrained to small margin areas or writing over the text, instead of being able to write…

  12. where is the ink color selector in the zoom window in GoodNotes 5? :( Zoom window on GN4 was way better then GN5...
    That's why I'm still on GN4.
    It was your strongest point over others app.... Very sad.. not every one want to haver a big iPad that Don fit on a bag, or have resource to have one... In my case, going all up to the screen change the pen color, to make an obs in diferente Collor, it a sux kind of UX.@

    GoodNotesApp If you want I can make a comparison video showing the difference on…

  13. It would be so useful to have font size/line spacing options available as a drop-down menu. I use standard line spacing for bodies of text, but often want 25pt spacing for lists. I can never drag it to this, so have to press the increment buttons 100 times!

  15. I would like to have midpoints and/or axes for shapes. Especially a circle will benefit from this feature. It will make it easier to adjust shapes to each other.
    Currently i need to draw circles in a diagram (imported as page template) and it’s a mess to adjust the circles accurate around the midpoint of this diagram (Smith Chart)

  16. It would be fantastic to have an 'export to Things' feature which would capture all to do items in a note.

    Mindnode has a similar export feature exporting all mindmap nodes with a task directly to Things - with one click

  17. A split-page feature would allow for one section of the page to remain on a desired piece of text, whilst the other could scroll down and view the questions.

    I am aware of opening the same document in another window, which is great, but what if i wanted to view 1) the text, 2) the questions, and 3) the guidance to the answers, all at once?

    This page-split feature would be indispensable!
