  1. The ability to share notebook with other good notes user

    The ability to share a notebook with someone else who has good notes and allow editing and updates to it

    I think this can help with using it between co workers and employees and students if someone missed a class.

  4. Favorites - without thumbnails

    Currently, Goodnotes5's favorites are displayed using thumbnails. This makes it very difficult to find the page that I want to read - have to keep scrolling. Bookmarks/favorite has always function as an outline for me when I used Goodnotes 4.

    I suggest to allow users to have the option of switching between 1. having thumbnails or 2. without thumbnails and only display the title of the bookmark/favorite (like goodnotes4)

  10. Have a scrolling page, so you don’t have to move you hand, the page moves. Penultimate

    Scrolling notes page. So when you are writing, you don’t have to move your hand, the page moves instead. Penultimate has this feature, but you overall app is much better.

  11. 'Undo' and 'Apply' shape recognition

    Sometimes I write an entire word in cursive and when I am done I realize shape recognition was on and the word becomes unreadable. I want to be able to press 'undo' and undo only the shape recognition step, recovering the word I just wrote. This is an intuitive way to make the program more useful without complicating the interface. It would also allow me to use 'undo' and 'redo' repeatedly to compare the results with and without shape recognition and decide if I want to keep them.

    In addition: after I draw a triangle without shape recognition, allow me…

  12. Restart app with all notebooks that were open before closing app

    It would be so helpful if the app could open with all the notebooks I had open before I accidentally closed the app like Safari will reopen with all the tabs I had open. I work on several notebooks open at a time with work projects for different clients and the times I've closed out of the app entirely...they are not open when I restart the app.

  13. Syncing is very difficult and you have to change the cloud environment and hope that it would be OneDrive

    If Syncing with iCloud is Not working properly, please note that all users don't have space on DropBox and wish you will include OneDrive with the syncing process

  16. Language recognition in documents

    Greetings! I love using Goodnotes for taking notes in my lectures. I study in my native language (Czech) and English and I need to take notes effectively in both. However, current Goodnotes force me to set a recognition language for my documents (my native language not offered) which causes me great struggles. I am basically incapable of properly writing in Czech even with an exclusively Czech keyboard.

    Not necessarily having to choose a recognition language would be of great help. Keyboard settings does that for you already.

  17. Make available to view two consecutive pages at once… like a real notebook

    viewing two pages at once, eg. p1 and 2, p.13 and 14 together would make convenient for doing questions that continue to the next page/ plotting graphs/ reading comprehension, so no constant flipping back and forth to search for answers

  18. Give an option to control rolling pages

    I found that in the newest version, when rolling pages horizontally, if my finger slides fast, next page will automatically adapted(i.e. next page’s top will align to the top of screen), I felt uncomfortable with this feature sometimes and I want an option to switch it off.

  19. MAKE THE RHOMBUS A SHAPE

    Make it possible for the app to recognise a rhombus shape and enhance shape recognition in general. Sometimes when I make small circles it detects them as ovals or worse as squares. For my use case this problem is a huuge limitation.

  20. Curves+Grouping+Layers

    1) Make curves with more than 3 points because I like to make vector drawings and it’s really hard to make a variety of curves when limited to 3 points

    2) Add a grouping feature which allowed you to move sections instead of the individual components more easily

    3) Adding some version of editable layers would make creating images and diagrams easier instead of doing “move to front” or “move to back”
