  1. I hope there's a function that allows me to collect all the comments written in the document and share only the comments.

  2. I often work on my laptop and ipad at the same time, adding pages from my laptop files and filling them out on my ipad. I frequently have to turn of and on icloud sync in settings on both devices to make it refresh faster.

    A button to do this automatically while working on a note would be appreciated

  3. Don't always download files from iCloud and then load them back into Goodnotes. Where is the sense? Direct folder linking from iCloud folders in GoodNotes 5 would improve the work process enormously. For example, open PDF files directly and edit them in GN and then close them with one click and everything is saved in iCloud again.

  4. Give the option to customise folders through colours and maybe even icons and emojis that can be put over the folder for our subjects. It would make navigating a lot faster as we can see instantly where we want to go instead of relying on the smaller folder text.

  5. I use a lot of different custom templates for the work that I do. It would save me an immense amount of time if I could set a different default template for each folder. Example: if I open my folder of customer orders and start a quick note, it automatically uses the template I’ve created for taking orders that customers phone in because I’ve set that as the default template for THAT folder. When I open my interviews folder and start a quick note the default template would be the questionnaire that I use when interviewing applicants. Please!

  7. When the documents get to big and I need to scroll fast, most times I don't know the page number to jump to, I'd rather like to be able to scroll quickly.

  8. We need to be able to skip to the audio part that we need by clicking on the writing that has been written at that moment. The feature already exist on notability and collanote. Thank youuu

  9. To import or export pdf files takes too many touches to perform. I would say Notability has mastered this.
    Being able to export to more than 1 apps. As of the moment to export a file, the file will compile all the pages and will only allow you to export to one applications, and if you want to export the same file with the compiled pages to another app you have to repeat the process and compile the pages again.
    - It would be great if you would keep the menu to export until we want to exit out of…

  11. "Any Notebook that includes audio can be shared with a friend making it easy for them to listen back and follow your notes at the same time with Note Replay."

    This should also include the possibility of sharing your notes and recordings to other devices as separate files. I recorded a lecture today, and I assumed that this feature was also available. When I use Notability, I am able to share both the recording and notes as separate files to my Mac.

  15. I like add a picture into the note and writing on the picture. But after updating, the picture always move by my hand! It is terrible! At least, this feature should be turned on or off at our discretion.

  16. Whenever I type and sometimes my hand rests on the ipad screen, the popup appears and it is really very frustrating. I have taken the one time subscription but still goodnote fails to provide the service.

  17. It would be very useful to be able to temporarily hide folders or documents.
    When in school or in Uni we often have a lot of different subjects, thus it would be handy to be able to hide the ones that are currently not used to make the "document" page more organized without having to permanently delete the unused documents.

  18. I use one document for my work. And each day I need diferent pages. Now I need to delete all bookmarks and prepare bookmarks for another day. If I could do this preparation in advance for all the days with diferent packs of bookmarks, it would save lot of time.

    Using outlines doesn't work for this need.

  19. In the experimental feature you can’t scroll through a view of the cards like you can with notebook and other cards making it hard to edit and use

  20. Turning the highlighter marks into pen colors (this will obscure the text, which is what I need) allows me to temporarily hide the key word and turn them into fill-in-the-blank questions that I can memorize
