  1. Ability to crop/resize Elements with the lasso tool

    Elements Improvement Suggestion

    1) It is often that user import a whole page of stickers that haven't been 'cut' individually. An option to be able to "edit" elements and crop them out (rectangle/freehand) would be helpful so we can import a whole page of uncut PNG rather than having to cut them one by one to import into Elements.

    2) When selecting elements, elements are automatically placed in the middle of the page, because elements can be rather small, it sometimes gets muddled with other stickers/elements making it difficult to select and move it. I would like to suggest the…

  2. Camera shortcut

    Since latest update the Camera shortcut is hidden in the IMAGE-section and not as a Stand-Alone Icon between IMAGE and TEXT.

    We need to add a lot of photos to the Documents and now the workflow gets really disturbed as you always have to tap twice instead of 1.

    please simply bring the Icon Shortcut back, thanks in advance!!!

    Best re gards,

  3. pin notes

    Pin notes in a bar like tabs in browser. You won't close them by mistyping.

    I have "theese" notes that I don't need to close like: to-do list or my everyday notebook with some notes. It will be better to have options for pin important notes in the bar

  4. FIX KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

    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…

  7. Look at power point - and add most of the features found with regard to

    Layers/shapes/form background/PASSWORD PROTECTION.

    I could go on, buy GN 5 is still quite awesome. Just add the password protection and be done with that silliness already!

    Oh, and sync with iCal / add alarm features for the TO DO list please!

  8. A button to go back to open documents

    A simple button in the menu area to directs the user to the open documents instead of open any document just to open the previously opened docs.

  9. Access image crop quicker, e.g. via button

    One thing I would love to see is a possibility for inserted images to easily go to crop mode without going to the menu. Maybe a dedicated button could be added like the button for deleting the image and resizing it.

  12. Stabilize vertical scrolling

    When I set the scrolling direction in Goodnotes to vertical, and I scroll up or down, the document keeps moving when I lift my finger or fingers.

    This happens occasionally in other apps if I swipe very fast, but in Goodnotes it seems to happen any time I'm not super careful. That means it happens way too often!

    This makes it hard to get the page to the place I want. If I'm presenting from the iPad, I keep accidentally scrolling to the wrong page. And I personally find it very unpleasant to look at--it's almost nauseating.

    Please, turn down…

  15. Keyboard Shortcut for Outline Creation

    I type the outlines for my university lecture notes in one go on my laptop and it would be great if there was a keyboard shortcut to add an outline for the current page. That way I wouldn't have to switch between the keyboard and trackpad all the time.

  19. Opaque shapes option

    My professors sometimes provide us with scans of documents to read. I like to annotate as I read. However because these can be scans with black edges from scanning, it is really hard to find a color that will show through. If I was able to put an opaque shape behind my text to make it easily viewable, that would be awesome. The current fill only allows for a see though fill and it doesn’t help at all. I also can’t chose white because it would not show on the white spaces and I don’t want to be changing pen…
