  1. I would love it if I could see the previous and the current page at the same time, as in a notebook, only better :)
    In split view mode I can open two GoodNotes windows, and that’s wonderful, but I would love if I could work on the same document’s two pages and an extra window. Thank you for listening, I’m looking forward to seeing and using it!

  2. Currently, the shape tools in GoodNotes 5 is supported to “draw into shapes”. However, it will be easier to draw some complex shapes (especially coordinate system) by the shape function (with built-in shapes) in OneNote, which is shown in the video in the attachment. This function can also help users to draw shapes more precisely.

  3. Having a way to select the entire screen quickly could be useful if you need to copy everything, change the colo(u)r and delete.

  4. When you lasso something, and then tap to get the options, sometimes the tap shoves the lasso'd material along a little bit. UNDO puts it back exactly where it was but, at the moment, also drops the lasso. It would be great if the lasso remained (and the options, of course) so you don't have to try it again (and again...) to tap without shoving.

  7. Thanks for this amazing search tool! There is only one problem: When I am searching within a particular PDF document, I find it a little clumsy because the window that opens containing the findings is so small. Furthermore, when I go to one of the pages found, the window disappears. But mostly I need to open a few other pages found which is quite complicated because I have to search again, remember which pages I have already opened etc. I would need the findings as a list or something, probably even in a new tab, which you can directly export…

  8. (This is not about adding a calligraphy pen itself.)
    I suggest adding a calligraphy mode, that similar to the app Over lets you type something and convert it to a nice style.
    This makes it possible to create good-looking headers easily without having to be a pro.

  9. When selecting text or highlight lines and changing the colours, only the pen color presets are available. It would be great if there was a tab to switch to the highlighter color presets.

  10. Ability to condense power point slides into one, in order to alleviate the storage usage of the document but also to make finding the slides much more streamlined.

    Meaning multiple slides(3 or more) would be put on one page in a slightly smaller version of the original in order to avoid having to scroll through lets say 90 slides or more.

  12. The Problem: When I'm taking notes I'm bothered by reaching the right end side of the piece of "digital" paper I'm writing on currently, because of the hight of the iPad Pro I'm taking the notes with I'm forced to move my hand off the pad to write on the right hand side of the screen.

    The possible Solution: Add an on/off toggle to make it possible to move the paper digitally out of the screen, such that for example half my piece of paper is moved out of the left side of the screen and I can place my…

  13. One note has the option to lasso a section of text and then click on a preset pen to change the text to the thickness and color of the preset pen. If I accidentally write something in the wrong thickness, I would have to rewrite it on GN which is a pain.

  18. If the undo operation take place in another page, I won’t be able to see it nor know what was done. Jumping to that page where undo take place will allow me to understand more about the nature of the undo.

    Moreover, jumping, wait 500ms and then perform the undo will allow me to visually see it as well.

    Redo will jump back to the page I were at.
