  1. Now iPadOS has very rudimentary mouse support through the AssistiveTough feature. Perhaps it would be nice to make use of this? Currently, in the presentation mode the mouse cursor is hidden, along with other interface elements.

    While GoodNotes 5 already has a very nice laser pointer feature, this still requires you to be near the iPad. On the other hand, when doing a presentation, the ability to move away from the podium would be very nice.

    I happen to have the Logitech Spotlight presenter, and it can actually move the mouse cursor, when paired with my iPad Pro. So, it…

    Thanks.

  8. Would be great to have the option to open PDF files directly, e.g. from iCloud Drive. After some edits were applied, save the changes in the file directly.

    I‘ve organized all my files in iCloud. Using Good Notes I always have duplicates and there’s a noticeable amount of work to keep them synced, besides that the export flattens the PDF so no further edits are possible.

  12. Just as you provide a native white or yellow page, it would be great if you could provide a native black page. I use a custom template (black page + white ink), but it does not feel native (e.g., rendering delays when scrolling). Thanks!

  14. Create word hypolinks - To different page / book or internet

    On selection of text or image, be able to turn it into a hypolink, from here give us the options to select a page from either the same book or a different one, or either insert a url which would load up internet browser.

  15. Even small documents (4-5 pages) seem to result in 6+ MB-sized documents. I think the fill colour option of the shape tool might be the culprit.

  16. It is very irritating when you touch a Note Tab, either deliberately or by accident, then that not opens at the cover page, not at the last page being edited. You have to select the thumbnails and scroll to the last page. Have an option in settings that states when selecting a note tab continue at the last page being edited or cover page.
