  1. Studying organic chemistry is already a pain, not mentioning to draw a perfect hexagon... Can we have shapes presets to help drawing in the app

  2. I’m a medical student in Japan. I can’t study medicine without good notes!
    Please give me another chance to free upgrade to GoodNotes 5.
    In addition,I’ve paid the full price for GoodNotes 4.
    I truely apologize for not getting the free upgrade before January 15th,2020 in spite of your highly recommendation.
    However, my father purchases GoodNotes 5 today and it made me want to use version 5 notes.
    I would be grateful if you could give me another chance!
    Very much needed! Please!!

  3. It would be useful to be able to edit a document while being in fullscreen mode.
    Having some kind of guesture or small button to toggle the fullscreen mode in that case would be great. As of now there always is a menu bar displayed on the top.

  4. There should be a better option when I need to send multiple files via email as separate pdfs. I often have to send multiple files from Goodnotes and it would be great if I could select that I want to send them as two separate pdf attachments. But the only option to keep them as separate pdf's is to send multiple emails because if I select multiple files to send as an email it will merge them into one large pdf.

  5. Right now there are only two ways to search the text content of your notes. You can search in the file that is currently open or you can search all of your files at once. I think it would be extremely useful if you could specify which files to perform the search on.

    機能の充実

    今のところ開いているファイル内での文字の検索とGoodnotes5に保存しているファイル全件を貫通して検索する方法のいずれかのみだが、
    いくつかの目的としているファイルを指定してその中のみで文字の検索ができる機能を追加してもらえると非常に便利になると思います。

  6. hello it would be great if the new colors added by a user do not reset with each update, because it is very tedious to go and enter all the new colors again.

  7. I create a colour-coded key that I add to the top righthand corner of every page in my notebook (coded for priority).

    I manually add this to each new page. It would be great if I could add this to the template so it automatically appears on each new page.

  8. It always takes so long to press export, select Google Classroom, and wait for the terrible extension to load. It often makes my work turned in late. So I think it will be a great idea to add a feature to export directly or quicker to other apps.

  10. Make the square background interactive to work with geometric shapes and tools, improve geometric work on the app for geometric notes.
    So you can create shapes and align them with the square background, with straight lines with no problems.

  12. It would be great to have the option to be able to continue scrolling downward endlessly while writing, instead of having to add a new page constantly.

  14. Es wäre ganz fein wenn es ein Feld gäbe was man anklickt und es öffnet ein Unterschriftenfeld wo man geziehlt unterschreiben kann. Gegebenfalls mit zwei optionen, 1= Kundenunterschrift -> wird nicht gespeichert. 2= Unterschrift zum speichern...
    Vielen Dank
    Lg Markus

    It would be very nice if there was a field that you click on and it opens a signature field where you can sign it. If necessary with two options, 1 = customer signature -> is not saved. 2 = signature to save ...
    Thanks a lot
    Lg Markus

  15. When using „Auto Shape Tool“ it would be helpful to chose between regular full lines and dashed lines.

  16. The handwriting experience in GoodNotes is now perfect but texting is not. I suggest that users can select an area of the page and use markdown language (or Latex for academic purposes)to organize formal notes, including mathematical functions. Such feature would be even better if one day we can see a macOS GoodNotes app, cause handwriting is not the primary way we interact with laptop.

  18. “Open documents as new tabs” option is a great tool but i would preferred that instead of all documents being open as new tabs only documents or notes or pages within a Currently open document would open as new tabs so you could toggle within that folder faster while looking at folders within folders. The way it is now it’s a bit cluttered and confusing because you get confused and don’t know where those tabs belong in just by looking at the titles if that makes any sense, thank you.
