  1. Highlighter marks turn to pen color

    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

  2. “Improved” Object Selection feature flaw

    This feature (see attached) renders the option to toggle images on/off via the lasso tool useless. Instead, any tap on any image regardless of the tool being used will allow the image to move. This feature might be ok if image locking ever becomes an option, but for now it’s extremely frustrating when you’re working with layered images.

  3. Paste Function

    I study Economics, and I wish that I don't have to draw the charts and other drawings all from scratch each time. If there was a place where I can draw it once and assign it under a specific name then when I want to plug it in, I just write the name I assigned it to it. That would save tons of time!

  4. Drehen

    Trennung von Drehpunkt und Größenanpassung.
    Aktuell ist es kaum möglich ein markiertes Objekt zu drehen ohne dass dabei die Größe verändert wird.
    In der Version 4 waren die Funktionen getrennt, was einfach optimaler war. Ist es in Version 5 vielleicht auch möglich die Funktionen wieder zu trennen?
    Nachdem ein eingefügtes Element um 90Grad gedreht wird, rastet es nicht bei 90Grand ein sondern bei ca. 89 oder 91Grad. Das geschieht nicht, wenn das Objekt mit dem Lasso markiert und gedreht wird. Lässt sich das optimieren?

  6. Setting notebook specific elements and presets

    Make it so I can set which groups of elements I would see in which notebooks. Along with color presets and line widths. If I am in my budget planner I would like to see different elements than with my daily planner. I also use different width pens and different colors. Rather than seeing long lists.

  8. Keep hierarchy and indentation in handwriting to text

    I often want to convert notes arranged in a hierarchical structure to text, but I need to recreate the hierarchy (bullet points, indentation, etc.) when doing the conversion. It would be very useful the text conversion could interpret the hierarchy of the handwriting as a whole and maintain the structure in the conversion.

  9. Option to deactivate presentation mode on iPadOS 16.2

    iPadOS 16.2 added external monitor support. However, when I open a notebook in Goodnotes it messes with the size of my external monitor due to presentation mode automatically starting. I want to be able to deactivate it, so I can properly use my monitor.

  11. TEXT TEXT TEXT

    you already know this but seem to ignore the community, can’t react to the community or both. TEXT, TEXT, TEXT. FIX IT. you know what it needs. It’s well documented by the community.
    Start with spacing and usability of the text box. On an iPad. With an Apple Pencil. The primary use case scenario.

  16. Switching Page Color afterwards for print

    Having written black pages with white font color, it would be great to just switch to the negative (page turning white, white font color changing black, the other colors don’t change) to print the notebook.

    Would love to have this feature !

  19. Alternative zur iCloud Synchronisierung

    Auf unseren Lehrer iPads steht uns die iCloud wegen Einschränkungen leider nicht zur Verfügung. Es wäre super, wenn man auch über andere Cloud Dienste synchronisieren könnte.

  20. Allow note taking in margins

    When we shrink the note size, there are a lot of margins on the sides. I'd like to be able to take notes on these side margins, please! My lecture slides are not big enough, so it'd be so nice to be able to create some extended margins to the sides to make notes. Thank you! please please please ❤️
