  1. Have a color and their paste equivalent and change between those colors so that you can change the paper from dark to white and that way you can study at night but also print your notes.

  2. It would be great to be able to have a header seperate to the rest of the page to hand write titles. The you could set he header to duplicate across the next x amount of pages.

    I know you can hand write the title each time, or lasso tool the title and copy it manually, but longer documents can be tedious.

    I would like to be able to write “Lecture 1 - Introduction” on my first page, the set the header to repeat for the next 3 pages. Then write “Lecture 2 - Theory’ on page 4, and set…

  3. I think Goodnotes would be more functional and enjoyable if the tools and the zoom box were near each other instead separated. It makes it easier to switch from tool to tool while utilizing the zoom function. Having the tools on the same bar where the indent, shift buttons, and x keys are on the zoom box would be so helpful!

  4. I create my notes off professors’ notes, and thus I need an option to go to a subsequent number when I hit enter. I still use Microsoft Word for this because GOODNOTES 5 doesn't offer this possibility. Also, it would be great if you could integrate GRAMMARLY to GOODNOTES 5.

  7. Presently it is not possible to restore directly from an automatic backup (oneway backup function to a distant drive different than icloud). You have to first download all the files and folder from the distant drive (ex google drive) then zip them and then send them via airdrop to the ipad and open it with Goodnotes.
    And it’s even more difficult if you have selected the option to backup .goodnotes and .pdf files because you need to delete the .pdf files ...

    Please add a restore function simple to use

  8. I know that some people like the more simplistic aspect of a lighter weight organisation system, but I know many more users including myself who would love to have a comprehensive and neatly sewn-together file sorting system where we can visually class, group and reference our notes.

    I much prefer the features and dynamic of GoodNotes, however, the organisation is a major dealbreaker for many as to why they pick Notability. I think many people will value such a feature greatly. Thanks! :)

  9. I do understand that it makes sense for the document to pop back into central view when dragging to the side, but when handwriting at the document’s edge, this becomes an annoyance.

    How about a new action/feature where the documents still pop back into central view under normal circumstances, but when the user really drags the document far off to the side, the document stays there at the side of the screen. Now the user can handwrite comfortably, with his hand resting on the black part (background) of the screen, and the document on the other side of the screen.…

  10. It would be great to be able to link and lock pages together.
    When you are taking notes on a subject and you have multiple pages, you could link them and the, if you need to reorder these pages in your notebook they will always move together.

  11. When I’m reading multiple notes, PDFs on a subject, I would like to keep track of it.
    Eg: I may be reading Mathematics in the morning and Chemistry in the evening and Physics next day.

    Each time I switch subject, I have to reopen all the documents. Or search for what I need and open or keep them all open.

    Instead I would like to have all notes open on Physics when reading Physics.

    Tagging is not what I’m looking for, but a list of documents that I’m currently reading

  12. Sometimes I want to copy worlds out for googling or something like that. To get a better workflow with Goodnotes 5 for Mac it wood be nice to have a common mouse cursor in the toolbar. Than you can mark worlds or sentences and copy them out.

  15. besides Mac ecosystem IF and WHEN someone needs to search and extract or share contents from Goodnote in front of a computer it'd be perfect if there's a web portal or web app allowing one to get access to those and work on a PC or Mac machine as well.

  16. I would like to suggest you a little improvement: bring up the option of the lasso tool (circled in purple in the photo) on the unused space of the toolbar (circled in red in the photo). That would make the use of the lasso tool much faster.

  17. 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

  20. Share a page with a web link, maybe is too much that the other persons you are sharing with can edit, but at least they can have a tool to point sections like the red pointer on app. So you can make changes on the app and the other people can watch as you draw flows or anything. That would be super helpfull, like a blackboard
