  3. The problem is that GoodNotes is publishing new features since months but they don’t work on improving it. You have all the time buggy experiences and the user experience is the worst.

  4. I use GoodNotes to take notes during lectures but I also do a lot of my homework in this app. I wish I could at least perform some basic math calculations without leaving the app. Right now, if I want to do any calculations for math class or some other class, I need to leave the app in order to do a Google search or I have to use my phone to do it.

    It would be helpful if I could write out the problems with the Apple Pencil and GoodNotes would be able to help me perform some basic…

    Thanks for sharing your feedback. Would it work for you to open a calculator app as a slide over app and then just swipe it in from the side when it is needed? You won’t have to leave GoodNotes for it and you can easily make some quick calculations.

  5. The current undo history is global, or per document. This is quite confusing because tab is the focused object and if I did something and tap undo, something happens in another tab. To me this is quite bad design.

    I'd love to see a per tab undo history, or at least an option.

    Thanks for the report and sorry to hear about the issue you’re experiencing. We’d love to help you with it but would need some more information. What is happening when you’re touch the homebar? Are you using an Apple Pencil? Perhaps the palm rejection is not working correctly in GoodNotes. Usually, the homebar should be ignored while writing. It would be fantastic if you could send us a video where we can have a closer look at the problem by opening a support ticket with us here: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

  8. Have a feature that summarise what is written at the end of the day to revise or recap the important ideas across different notebooks. Show "card-like" pages sorted by different notes/folder. A good way to review what we've learn and to slows down forgetting curve.

  10. I'm using GN5 to read my Q&A textbook, and I want to be able to erase my markings so that I can reuse my book, but it's tedious having to go through each page individually and press clear page. I want to be able to press Clear Document

  13. The grey paper templates are good, but a lot of colours don't look good on grey.

    Kindly add completely black templates.

  14. I would love to see a feature where you can screen record yourself writing/drawing a section of your notes, having it save as a gif and then can be replayed anytime within the notes page. Like having small animations embedded within your own notes (resizable and movable like a mini-player), creating more dynamic pages.

  15. Goodnotes uses two rows of tools, which is takes up too much screen real estate, especially in landscape mode. This means I cannot use Goodnotes for teaching, which is what I got it for. (It's a shame, because Goodnotes is otherwise well suited for teaching.) It would be great if you could compact to a single row of tools (or even zero), to get more writing area.

  16. Need to be more intuitive & simulative when using the App, so we don't need to always try to find the right function & apply it to the document.
    Thanks a lot !

  18. After drawing a shape it'd be nice if we could have the option to remove its border, leaving only the semi-transparent filling. I draw lots of 3D shapes and the semi-transparent filling helps indicating the object's depth, but the borders make the object look cluttered.

  19. Es wäre hilfreich, wenn es die Lernkarten auch als linierte oder karierte Lernkarten geben würde. Dann könnte man handschriftlich schöner darauf schreiben.

    Thanks for sharing your idea. We will add more Flash Card templates in future updates. In the meantime, please import your own custom templates and configure them as flash cards. You can do so in Menu > Notebook Templates > Edit > … > Toggle the “Flash Card” button

  20. Hi, goodnotes developers.
    I've been using goodnotes application for years and I think Goodnotes 5 should have a "Categories" shourcut as in goodnotes 4. It's more convenient than tapping "back" again and again until I reach the main documents page. I have many subfolders so that shoutcut is what goodnotes 5/6/7 or whatever should have. Hope you consider this problem. I'm certainly sure that it's not inly me who feel uncomfotable about this. Thank you for your hard working!

    Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll see what we can do about it in the future. In the meantime, you can avoid having to tap the back button multiple times and instead tap on the “Documents” icon in the tab bar at the bottom to jump straight to the root folder level.
