  2. I want to create templates for GoodNotes that have definable areas I can write in. If my template has a bounding box, I should be able to define the box’s borders and not allow handwriting outside that bounding box. It’s the difference between actual templates and just applying an image or pdf as a background

  3. I do understand that it makes sense for the document to pop back into central view when dragging to the side, but when handwriting at the document’s edge, this becomes an annoyance.

    How about a new action/feature where the documents still pop back into central view under normal circumstances, but when the user really drags the document far off to the side, the document stays there at the side of the screen. Now the user can handwrite comfortably, with his hand resting on the black part (background) of the screen, and the document on the other side of the screen.…

  4. You should add the possibility to view files’ and folders’ sizes in the goodnotes app. Also, you could add pages counter to see the total amount of pages in a certain notebook and which page we’re viewing (page 15/20). Also, you could add the possibility of viewing on the home page the total amount of notebooks in the app.

  5. It would be great to be able to link and lock pages together.
    When you are taking notes on a subject and you have multiple pages, you could link them and the, if you need to reorder these pages in your notebook they will always move together.

  6. I love using this app to make my notes, i usually use the text box to write fast on a lecture
    I think adding better shortcuts to the text box option may help to be more efficient while writting on class.
    Thank you!!

  7. Having a vertical toolbar in the landscape mode would use the screen’s real estate much more efficiently.

  8. It would be very helpful to be able to import custom SVG stencil and shapes. Also the ability to store said Stencil's and shapes in a user defined Library.

  9. When I’m reading multiple notes, PDFs on a subject, I would like to keep track of it.
    Eg: I may be reading Mathematics in the morning and Chemistry in the evening and Physics next day.

    Each time I switch subject, I have to reopen all the documents. Or search for what I need and open or keep them all open.

    Instead I would like to have all notes open on Physics when reading Physics.

    Tagging is not what I’m looking for, but a list of documents that I’m currently reading

  10. Goodnotes should have an option to automatically remove these unnecessary file name artifacts instead of manually having to remove them on import.

  11. When using the up and down keys on the magic keyboard for the iPad Pro, scrolling in Good Notes 5 has no smooth animation, but harsh stops. In Safari the scrolling animation is really smooth, and gives a more convenient experience when reading long documents.

  12. sorry I do not speak english very welll.
    my suggestion is a magic wand tool when cutting out the background of the image. I know you have the free hand option but it is limited and still leaves traces of the background of the image.

  13. This feature is very limited and has become a nuisance as I write my notes. Notes and Nobility have this feature. Hopefully, this can be incorporated into the next update because this app is my go-to for schoolwork.

  14. It would be very helpful if you improve the tab option for example: The tabs which are opened out of one folder could be included in 1 Tab like a dropdown list. I have opened lots of pages at the same time From different folders.
    Thank you very much and best regards

  15. While editing a note on my iPad, there is a row of tab's at the top showing other notebooks. I don't understand how those are sorted. Anyhow, I suggest to sort the tabs by the date when those documents have been edited last. This would be, IMO, the most useful sorting.

  16. I really hate the organizaiton choices of this application. It feels a lot like how windows does it vs how apple does it. For instance when you go to finder and click something like documents and click on a folder in documents you get this nice tree light distribution of the files that your in and what you have looked through. In my pc if you do this it takes you into the next folder but doesn't give you that nice overview. You do this with the my pc but it acts exactly like how how goodnotes 5 currently operates.…

  17. I have two different App Store accounts! I got a new IPad and had no idea I was using a separate account from my phone. How can I switch between accounts within the app to access everything I have on my iPad when I am using my phone?

  19. Also, making the highlighters brighter in dark paper? Like making it stay like when you are applying it? Or a bigger pen instead, to use that.

  20. change the mouse cursor when the highligher is activated. When the highlighter is yellow, i can barely see it on the screen. Please change it to something more noticeable.
