  1. Goodnotes 5 syncs all documents to the iCloud. It would be great if the user good choose not to sync certain files and folders.

    Thank you very much!

  3. I think it would be easier if we had an option that allowed us to choose which opaqueness we wanted instead of having to overlap the same area again and again. Especially for someone like me that wants the overlapped areas to line up perfect.

  4. Can the title of a document, image or any sort of file be more colors than just white?

    I want them to be red, pink, green, yellow, orange, brown, blue and so on.

    The reason is that I save articles in goodnotes and then I use them as sources in my papers. To make writing the sources quicker i just assort them into colors as to immeditaly tell them apart. However I would be much more effecient if I had some help to remember which color belongs to which goodnotes files - the solution is if the title were different…

  6. Lernkarten: Es wäre toll, wenn die Lernkarten sowohl -wie schon jetzt- randomisiert; aber bitte unbedingt in der Reihenfolge (der Notizen) abfragbar sind! Da sie so nicht nur als Karteikarten, sondern auch als Lernzettel (thematische Ordnung möglich) fungieren können!!!

  7. When magnifying a pdf file in vertical scrolling state, if it is enlarged more than a certain percentage, it cannot be fixed to move left and right.

    I want to continue using the pdf file by enlarging it to fit the iPad's horizontal aspect ratio, but it's so inconvenient.

  8. Paging Transition WITHOUT any effect (like one can with PowerPoint or Adobe Acrobat).
    I use GoodNotes in virtual meetings as well in presence ones. The page transition animation are ‘nice at first’ but always distracting, specially in cases of two or more pages that are identical except a few visual clues (like an added box to call attention to a detail)… in those cases a clean, seemless transition, is a MUST.
    I saw many other suggestions of the kind here, all SHUTDOWN by some ‘moderator’ as being a non issue that you can set the presentation mode to always full

  10. Have a up/down and left/right button for scrolling between pages so that I don’t have to swipe. Easier to switch pages and let it align perfectly every time.

  12. I don’t need you to tell me I’ve pasted a page successfully. I’m not blind. Just let me do whatever I need to do and don’t force me to stare at that stupid check mark for 2 seconds every single time.

  13. It would be great if you could save more than three colours for pen/highlighter. The space in the top right corner would be enough to save 5 colours. Would really help folks who study with highlighting in (many) different colours

  14. Sometimes when you use the same hexcode the colours between the pen and highlighter don't match, I then end up messing around with colours until the match better, would love if the highlighter matched more :)

  15. Please bring back the DOUBLE LINE SPACING option from GoodNotes 4. Or an adjustable option that varies with the TYPE size entered. The default lines are TOO thin for proper writing for some of us.

  17. I miss the font "Annai MN" for the iPad. Like this my learning leaflets look very different when I create them on my MacBook vs looking at them on my iPad.

  18. It would be great to have an option to make all pages the same width (or at least displayed so). When pages have different widths, they tend to move sideways when scrolled vertically. And this is very unpleasant.

    When importing pages from different sources, Notability makes all pages the same width by default, and this makes scrolling very smooth.

  19. This is very annoying when reading over the stuff you wrote. My Apple Pencil is somehow very sensitive when it covers to double tap gestures, so this is a must have.

  20. I wish your app could allow Video and Audio Recording and producing nice tutoring videos similar to what possible in Doceri.
    Your app is much more user-friendly and performs way better than Doceri in any aspect, but unfortunately, it misses that feature.
