  1. It would be great to have the tool in use attached to a page.
    For instance, on one page, I have a pdf open and I use the highlight tool.
    On another page, I take notes with the pen.
    Going back and forth from one page to the other, I have to change the tool each time.
    (It was working this way on the previous version of GoodNotes)

  2. When using the slider mode on ipad where i have two seperate documents open side by side both occupying half the screen, the highlight colour options are not visible. I have to click on colour menu and change it every time. Please update it so we have colour options even when it's in slider mode.

  3. Olá! Algo que me incomoda muito é o fato de o aplicativo liberar apenas 3 cores quando o iPad está em modo horizontal, sendo que há espaço para colocar muito mais cores. Seria muito interessante aumentar esse número de cores para diminuir o tempo gasto para troca de cores

  4. A fast scrolling option is important for file who have LOTS OF PAGES.

    In PDF EXPERT there’s a similar function very useful.

  5. When taking notes on a Good Notes 5 - iPad Pro , I take pictures with the iPad camera. I need to use these pictures separately in a MS Word documents, however there does not seem to be a way to export the pictures separately (eg JPG files). Also when exporting the Good Notes document as PDF, the contained pictures do not appear as Pictures in the PDF document, and as a result I cannot save them separately, or even Copy in Clipboard !!! They appear as Comments, or some other item, but not as pictures in the PDF document…

  6. Button from home taking you straight to your open tabs so you don't have to click on a random file, delete it and then continue working on your already opened tabs.

  7. I see a few requests for larger buttons in specific use cases. I’d like to see larger tap targets overall, wherever possible. The aim would be to make less mistakes, reduce the concentration required to perform an action, and help people with less steady hands or thicker fingers. I was thinking that across the top, there is plenty of room to create more space between the icons. Maybe it gets tight on smaller iPads. Maybe not. But either way perhaps the spacing could be a little more dynamic, or larger for larger iPads. Not exactly a feature but something to…

  8. I think it would be AWESOME if we could use the double-tap feature of the Apple Pencil to be able to undo an action.

    I take a lot of hand notes, and everytime I make a mistake I have to manually hit the back arrow which is very inconvenient, whereas doing it by double-tapping the Apple Pencil would be very time-saving and convenient!

  9. I only use Ipad - which I hate - for GoodNotes. I would gladly pay $30 for a Windows version to use on a Microsoft Surface. Please make a Windows version and free us from Apple.

  12. In previous version my battery was draining and fetching heating issue while using GoodNotes. Then I got updated version telling that it will be resolved. But for me it hasn’t been resolved yet.

  13. Now:
    - When want to add new blank page, can only choose from preset sizes (not same size as document).
    - Or, copy 'current template' and insert blank image onto page.

    Suggestion:
    - New 'current template' with blank page (white or black or sample color from background) with the SAME SIZE as previous document page

  14. Please add the ability to scale the size of the paper on the screen so that it is the same size as the actual paper.
    The story of how I came to this conclusion is below.

    GoodNote's convenient scaling function makes it easy to draw fine text and figures. But at the same time that functionality takes you away from writing on actual paper.
    For example, in reality, writing letters with a 0.3mm ballpoint pen on A4 size paper means that 0.3mm letters are written in a 210mm x 297mm sheet of paper. However, on GoodNote, the same thing is…

  15. We use goodnotes in school and its hard to like read a text and do notes at the same time, because you have to switch pages every 2 seconds. Thats why i would be nice to have, this zoom-handwriting thing to work at the another page, while you reading at a page.

  16. I write text, but want to delete it so use the eraser function. When I remove my apple pencil off the page, it goes back to write function (pen) automatically. Great feature

    I write text. I now highlight the text using the highlighter function on GoodNotes. But it stays on the highlighter function so I have to click back to the pen function to continue writing.

    Why can the highlighter function work like the eraser function in reverting back to pen mode automatically

  17. Ability to place the open document more away from the edge, for better Handwriting.

    Current Workaround: Place bigger Notebookcover at First place, doesn´t work, when all other documents are the same Size

  19. When you use the lasso tool to take a screenshot, it would be nice if it copied it directly to your clipboard so you didn’t have to do ~~> share ~~> copy ~~> exit. I often need to screenshot lecture slides, and doing this series of motions repeatedly takes up a lot of time in real time as the professor is speaking. Having s feature where it a lasso screenshot is be automatically copied would be great
