  1. Coming from Notability, I feel the strong lack of the function that allows you to draw straight lines automatically by holding the Apple Pencil on the sheet for a moment longer, without having to select the lines tool each time and then return to the pen tool.

    We’re happy to announce that the update 5.6.0 that we released today adds an improved shape recognition including the option to hold at the end of a line to make a perfect shape, shape selection & editing, and curve drawing. It further improves the recognition of circles and squares and adds back the ability to draw shapes with the highlighter.

  2. In GoodNotes 4 there is an option to Hide User Interface when using AirPlay that seems to be missing in GoodNotes 5. Is that feature going to be added back in?

  3. Being able to use the highlighter on a dark planner or note page would be great.
    Now the highlight is so opaque you can barely see it.

  4. Exporting multiple pages as an "Image File" currently results in a .Zip File being created. Would it be possible to export multiple pages as an "Image File" and have it truly be multiple images, not in a .Zip File.

  8. It would be great to be able to completely get rid of a cover in an existing notebook. I know you can change them, but it doesn't seem possible to remove them.

  10. I would love to be able to access my notes later on from desktop or web, in case I don't have my ipad or can't get enough screen real estate to easily review them on my phone.

  11. I don't see an option to delete a page in a QuickNote. I would like to request this capability - to delete a page and have all subsequent pages shift up.

    Pages in QuickNotes can be deleted by opening the thumbnail view (4 squares icon in the toolbar), tap Select in the upper right, then choose the page(s) you want to delete and tap “trash”

  14. Currently, I can only add pictures from the Photos app. It would be awesome if I could add images from Dropbox, iCloud, or any other remote storage system.

    To add images from other sources, tap on the image tool in the toolbar and then tap anywhere on the page. This will bring up the image picker and at the bottom of the pop-up, you’ll see the option to “Insert from…”. This will enable you to choose from other sources.

  15. I have painstakingly imported each individual files into their respective folders in GoodNotes.

    I would like the option to sync or import full folders from Google Drive to prevent this time consuming process.

  16. Allow for editing handwriting (moving to different locations, deleting..) in Mac App or deleting pages in a handwritten document. Usefulness is like 50% without these features.

    Both of these features are already available. They work like on the iPad. Use the lasso tool to select and move objects on the page.
    Delete pages in the thumbnail view.

  17. Create more templates that are quick and easy to edit and change. Make a template management system or folder.

    Make templates for Work, School, Business, Time Mgmt, Expenses, Budgets etc.

  20. In this App you draw a line, circle, triangle and hold your pencil for 1 second before you drop the pen.
    Now you can easily enlarge, reduce and change the shape ratio.
    If you draw a line it's easier to align. Here you can see it in action: https://youtu.be/qZ24QPPNkP0?t=12
