  3. It would be really cool if you combineed your handwriting recognition with your typing tool. Do stuff like intending lines of handwritten notes, or left justifying your handwritten notes after the fact. (I know you can use the lasso, but sometimes it gets tedious)

  4. I love the new perfect shape feature. However as a maths student I mosty want to use it to make straight lines for fractions or square roots and I feel like you need to hold down the stroke for too long before it is straightened. I disrupts my writing flow and I feel like allowing users to set the delay (50% faster or slower maybe) would improve the app while keeping it simple enough to use. (the option could be hidden in a menu)

  5. In den Textfeldern funktioniert schon das Thema, mit der Tabulatortaste der Tastatur den Text zu verschieben. Nur leider begrenzt. Nur über 5 kleine Schritte, dann springt der Text bereits eine Spalte tiefer und rechts wäre noch soviel Platz frei...

  7. I want to make my hand-notes from work more searchable and actionable.

    I was thinking of tagging and defining elements: e.g. add in current date/time (press on a handwritten date and tag it OR add in current date) to search it later. Additionally, I can imagine tasks tags, questions tags which then are searchable in a separate list/table etc.

  8. Adding a measuring tool built into the text rotation box specifying the exact angle you rotate the text. Noteshelf 2 just introduced this.

  10. It would be perfect if GoodNotes 5 can support automatically synchronise files with google drive when using different devices (such as iPhone & iPad) under the same account.

  11. It would be wonderful for view only links of documents. As a teacher teaching during distance learning, I would like to post notes that I’ve written without giving the students the ability to edit it.

  12. I Struggle a lot with my handwriting and while it’s still legible it’s not always astethic so I would greatly appreciate a feature in which as you write it gets converted to text as you go (you can switch this off in your settings). The most important part is to change the text font, I would love fonts made to look like still handwritten notes. I would also love to be able to change the text font and even download font that many people have put up that looks like writing. This would allow me to still maintain retention and…

  14. I want to create templates for GoodNotes that have definable areas I can write in. If my template has a bounding box, I should be able to define the box’s borders and not allow handwriting outside that bounding box. It’s the difference between actual templates and just applying an image or pdf as a background

  15. As my notes expand to hundreds of pages, I think that having a reverse page view would be helpful to find the latest note without scrolling much.

  16. You should add the possibility to view files’ and folders’ sizes in the goodnotes app. Also, you could add pages counter to see the total amount of pages in a certain notebook and which page we’re viewing (page 15/20). Also, you could add the possibility of viewing on the home page the total amount of notebooks in the app.

  17. I love using this app to make my notes, i usually use the text box to write fast on a lecture
    I think adding better shortcuts to the text box option may help to be more efficient while writting on class.
    Thank you!!

  19. It would be very helpful to be able to import custom SVG stencil and shapes. Also the ability to store said Stencil's and shapes in a user defined Library.

  20. Goodnotes should have an option to automatically remove these unnecessary file name artifacts instead of manually having to remove them on import.
