  2. Mathematical notation

    The use I meant to do with the iPad is a sort of infinite whiteboard. And I use to draw diagrams and mathematical notation.
    Would I be able to use the Lasso tool for exporting formulas to something editable in text, like LaTeX? Maybe with a huge community of students and researchers currently using Goodnotes that may be interested to that.

  3. Things to improve!

    I've been pretty satisfied with goodnote. I came up with some suggestions that might help making this even a better notebook app. Would love it if the next update tackles one or more of them!!!

    It would be better if:
    1. The edge of the highlighter can be chosen between rectangular and round (currently, round edge is the only option)
    2. When altering the size of an image, one of the nodes are anchored to the original position.
    3. The transparency of an image is adjustable.
    4. Have layers so that the order of the images from back to front…

  4. Only Erase handwriting

    Some time I use GoodNotes for test practicing, and I snap screen some test questions to another Note, then writing answers, when I want re-test, I have to use eraser to erase handwriting, cause I want those pic of "Questions" not be erased, so I wonder if you can add a function to filter 'quick erase hole page'
    thanks

  5. Show Drawings at fixed scale

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

  7. Ordered iCloud Sync

    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

  8. Menu Bar for opened documents

    It would be great to have a menu bar where you can see all the tabs of the different documents even if you go back to the main document menu.
    Now if you want to go back to your open document you actually have to open another document from the main menu to get back to the view of the different tabs.
    Please keep the tabs on display whereever you are in goodnotes. Would be super helpful

  9. Full Slideshow Support for PowerPoint with Animations

    I would love for the App to support full presentation mode for Powerpoint slides with all the animations and transitions

    with the ongoing pandemic, online classes are quite common now and teaching online requires an excellent app that can be used to stream to students.

    it would so awesome to combine the annotation capabilities of good notes and combine that with Microsoft powerpoint for awesome presentations to students.

  10. Moveable Notebooks inside Folders

    When you create a folder and make multiple notebooks inside it, they can only be reorganized by certain categories. We should be able to move them freely and organize them how we want.

  11. "Convert Handwriting to Text” directly to Add to Outline

    A common action that I perform in Goodnotes is the "Convert Handwriting to Text” and use that converted text as an Outline in my document. What would be nice is there was an option from the converted text window to save the converted text directly to an outline. I’ve attached a screen recording of the steps I currently go through to add an outline title.

  13. Easy Pen Picker

    Imagine you already wrote 5 different combinations on the same page. Color, thickness, pen style.

    I'm thinking of a "picker" button on the left edge which I can press & hold with my finger. (enabling picker mode until I lift my finger)

    When I tap the pen on the document, a zoomed hover-view shows up, I drag onto the pen stroke I want to reuse & lift off both my pen and finger.

    Simple & useful.

    But now when I want to write a title after a black simple text, I have to click red color, increase the thickness, change…

  14. Go back to "Last Viewed Page" in Good Notes 5

    This was a feature in Good Notes 4, but I could not find it in Good Notes 5.
    https://feedback.goodnotes.com/forums/191274-customer-suggestions-for-goodnotes/suggestions/4115825--last-viewed-page-button has it marked as completed, so I felt the new comments may not be noticed. I'm posting a new thread for it.

    Thanks.

  16. Print Reverse Colors when in Dark Mode.

    When you are operating with Black paper and writing in white ink, the application should reverse the colors when printing (if you want to). I run dark mode to make it easier on my eyes. When I go to print I do not think we want to print all black ink over the entire page.

  17. Convert text to handwritten

    Since handwritten text lists can be broken apart much better than text, I would like to have a ‘convert text to handwritten text’ feature. We could even have nice handwritten ‘fonts’ that we could choose from.

  18. Easy Navigation between doc and library

    It's not currently possible to go back to the document view without opening a document from the library. Maybe, we can hace a button for it.

  19. Give user more options to change built in shortcuts

    Due to the double two finger tap to undo feature, my work constantly gets undone accidentally by gestures such as laying my palm on the screen.
    I often realise this after I have continued my work so I can no longer redo the lost work.
    Redo with 3 finger double tap does not work AT ALL and usually prompts the confusing actions selection bar (what just happened?) or another undo.
    I understand some users make use of this feature while some experience the same issues so please let users switch shortcut on/off

  20. "Go Back" feature

    Goodnotes 4 had a feature whereby one could "go back" to the last page one had viewed in the document. This feature is not available in Goodnotes 5. I request that this feature be added to Goodnotes 5.
