  2. I love the pencil brush on the Apple Notes app. To me, it makes the writing experience closest to writing on paper. I find the Goodnotes pens/brushes OK but as they are totally opaque and non-texturized, it makes the writing experience remarkably more artificial. I of course like all the other functionalities, but to be honest, the amazing pencil brush almost makes me want to continue with the default notepad. Please, please, please make such a brush!

  3. As someone with hand tremors, it is difficult to get things like text boxes and pictures and doodles into position easily. It would be nice if I could select an item, move it close to the desired position, then nudge it up/down/left/right with the arrows on the keyboard.

    • I know tapping on the screen deselects, so I am not sure how to accomplish this with gestures when there isn’t a keyboard... maybe drag the selection with one finger and hold down another finger to allow you to tap outside the selection to nudge it in that direction...

    The option to…

  4. Layers/shapes/form background/PASSWORD PROTECTION.

    I could go on, buy GN 5 is still quite awesome. Just add the password protection and be done with that silliness already!

    Oh, and sync with iCal / add alarm features for the TO DO list please!

  5. I am a user living in Japan.

    There is a request. It is a function to display in a spread. This is not about spread views. I want to display two consecutive pages like a book in one app. It will be very convenient when reading one document on the horizontal screen of the iPad.

    I am not good at explaining in English, so I attached an image file.

    Thank you for the great app. I will continue to use it.

  7. The motion when switching to another file, change page, or other things is very annoyed. The motion improve the beautifullness of the app, but I use this app for work and study, I think the motion is useless, time consuming, and make the app slower.
    I prefer instant change to another page and reduce all the motion
    It would be best if you put it as a option under setting.

  10. Many GoodNotes users want to share documents with people who do not have the app, so it would be incredible if you added the option to share through a link so that anyone from any browser can view it and download it in pdf format, and that when we are modifying the file the other person reload the page and the changes made will appear.

  17. A huge disadvantage that I find in GoodNotes that while i use the "Ruled Narrow" page template while using my iPad keyboard, the text isn't always matched with the lines in the page template.

    The best things will be if the application will automatically determine the size of the text so the user who uses keyboard will be able to write exactly between the lines in the page template.

    Obviously, while writing text the app should also support the auto counting as it is in all the other applications.(wether Microsoft Word or Notability)

    With the current situation in the app,…
