  3. Goodnotes is a huge battery drainer, so I hope the next up date will optimize the app resources so it uses less power

  5. Text needs to be improved
    - Bullet points and other text features like tables needed to be added
    - Switching quickly between preset text fonts and sizes
    - Text recognition on pdfs is terrible, some fonts like ones used in some of my text books are hardly searchable
    - Text boxes are annoying, don't mix well with handwriting and do not fit into the lines of the default page

  7. It would be useful to have a grid or lines that float above the paper, but are not saved with a PDF. As it is now I use the graph paper template to write on. It helps keep my writing straight and makes it easier to draw lines and boxes. But I’d rather that my audience not see the grid. A better solution for me would be to use the plain paper template but with a grid I can turn on and off as needed. The grid appears on the iPad but is not visible on the AirPlay output.

  8. Add a streamline option for the pen/pencil/marker tools similar to the streamline option in Procreate. That way, those who write in cursive won't have as much trouble with shakiness & therefore there wouldn't be any "jerky" lettering.

  11. Hello,
    I am using Notability as well as Goodnotes 5..
    I want to emphasize on the point that you should make it possible to insert videos in the notes itself or at least give an option of inserting hyperlinks to youtube or websites.
    It becomes so much easy for us to click the link and open it there itself..
    U need to seriously think on this..

  12. Pls return the bookmark icon in the toolbar where it was previously with the red mark indicator if selected. Because of the new update i can‘t directly see which notes are more important while learning my courses. Without having to use other complicated features.

  13. It would be awesome if different documents could remember the pen options for each of them. This feature was available in GoodNotes 4, but I was shocked that it disappeared in 5. I usually need to switch between several documents each requiring a different pen size/color, and I almost went mad after typing the desired pen option for 100 times because it was not remembered for each doc. I have been bearing with Goodnotes 5 for half a year, and I will probably switch to Goodnotes 4 if this simple and useful feature is still not implemented.

  14. Tape…Notability just published an update to allow something like white out tape that can be tapped to make transparent and then tapped again to ”reapply.”

    Teaching implications of such a tool are obvious and awesome.

    Please give us such a feature.

  16. I know that the Mac App hasn't been updated recently, and there isn't an app for PCs yet.

    Why not instead make a web app that will allow you to log in through your Apple ID or "GoodNotes code" (something that is generated to all GoodNotes users), so that both Mac and PC users can use it?

  18. Add an option to change the paper template throughout the whole notebook, so that in the end every page will have the same background with one simple tap.

  19. Allow indentation with bullet points on the "Bulleted List" on the new text feature on Goodnotes 5, not just on the first line of bullet points. Similar to how you would take notes using bullet points in Microsoft, Google, or Pages. PLEASE!

  20. It would be useful if the app would have some features for math. For example a ruler, triangle ruler, circle or a parabola template
