    I would like to see the option to zoom into e.g. an A4 squared paper with 5mm squares where (zoomed in) the squares on the screen resemble 5mm. Like a 1:1 zoom

  5. 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

  8. 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)

  14. 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.

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…

  16. 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.

  18. Let’s Vote for the Polish Version of Goodnotes!

    Dear Users,

    I encourage you to support the initiative of adding Polish handwriting recognition to Goodnotes. With over 38 million Polish speakers, our country represents a significant market that deserves the full functionality of this app.

    With your support, we can collectively influence Goodnotes’ decision and show how much we value this feature. Together, we can make the app even more user-friendly for Polish speakers. Thank you for every vote!”
