  1. The text editing functionality is adequate, but it really needs table stakes functionality such as bullets. That's the main thing missing for me. Ideally, it would have robust, but lightweight functionality like Slack offers in chat. Using asterisks or hypens and manually futzing around with indention is a pain.

  2. Even if not full version, being able to access and view your notes on PC would be great.

  3. When using an Apple Pencil with the lasso tool, if I get too close to the edge of the page I frequently go just beyond the edge, causing the lasso tool to think that's the end of the lasso area selection. This typically does not result in the desired area being selected.

    Instead of terminating the lasso area selection when going out-of-bounds, snap the lasso selection to the page boundary and continue lasso area selection.

    (This seems to be the behavior of the macOS app when using the lasso tool with mouse. It would be good to enable similar behavior…

  4. I use to have 3 or 4 notebook opened (as tabs), on the iPad when we open Goodnotes we are on the last state (with notebooks already opened), on the Mac each time I open Goodnotes I start with a blank stage, on folder page and nothing opened.

  5. The iPad dock line at the bottom interferes a lot with my hand while taking notes. I see that other apps like Procreate hide the dock line, and I need an extra gesture to get the line visible. This feature will be awesome on Goodnotes as I currently have a bad experience where an entire line of writing disappears sometimes because the iPad dock line was engaged by the bottom of my hand that was resting.

  6. Currently, documents and notebooks are sorted by the time they were last modified, and folders are sorted by creation date. If possible, we should split these categories. Users should be able to sort by "last modified," which should include the last time contents within a folder were modified and also by date, which is by the date created. This way, it's consistent for all items Good Notes.

  7. I read the Support comment:
    "The latest update GoodNotes 5.5 is now available on the App Store. While scrolling through your document, you can now see the current page number and the total number of pages in this document. If you don’t like to see the page numbers, you can disable it in Menu > Settings > Document Editing."

    It's great but with this new suggestion I mean ADD as a part of the Notebook on every page, not just when scrolling. This would allow us to easily see the page whether the Notebook is printed. It also can help…

  8. I'd like to be able to select some handwriting, "right-click" to convert the text, and be able to directly make a text box which contains that text from the "convert to text" window.

    Currently, I need to convert to text, copy, go make a text box, then paste into that box.

    I think it would be a nice little time saver.

  9. Right now, i’d like to choose only bluecoloured handwritten text, as i often write additional comments between my own lines in other colours. Thx a lot & stay healthy!

  11. Just like creating unique pen by myself, which will be convenient in particular occasion, instead of setting everyting any time we switch to another occasion.
    It's the same with other tool, but pen is the most important.

  14. When writing, I would love the option to duplicate whatever I wrote/drew using the lasso Tool directly (just moving the selected handwriting) like I can do with images. also for some reason it's possible when using split screen but not in the same page. I will attach a video of me duplicating something right away using split screen and then how it's possible to do with the same page ( it takes longer and not as efficient) I will be talking to explain further. thank you

  15. To delete a page we need to pass through a long process of 5 clics or so.
    That's not quick enough.
    A single DELETE button on the page, next to ADD PAGE, would be a solution

  18. When you're trying to copy anything on GoodNotes 5 by selecting on the lasso tool and select copy. It "always" take a few moments to load, even though the item size is very small. I don't understand why I need to wait for the program to load every time. It's very annoying!
    Ps. GoodNotes 4 and Notability do not have this problem. When I'm trying to copy, it processes instantaneously.

  20. I've been using GoodNotes 5 since it had been launched. I found that my handwriting was not as good as in Notability. The ink in GoodNotes 5 seems to lag. I feel like it tries to bend my stroke all the time and I'm quite annoying this. I've tried to set the pressure sensitivity to low, medium and high, however, it stills bending everytime. So I have to write slower in order to make a beautiful handwriting and sometimes it wastes a lot of time!

    Ps. I've used GoodNotes 4 before too. The GoodNotes 4 doesn't have this problem.
