  1. This way a new note would automaticly be stored on my NAS. Also I would not have to use ICloud to see my notes on other devices. This would make things a lot more orginised and it would also save storage space on my ipad! :)

  3. Ich wünsche mir eine Option Dokumente mit Face ID oder mit dem Fingerabdruck schützen zu können. Somit könnte man private Papiere schützen vor unbefugtem Zugriff zb in der Schule oder Uni.

  5. A tool (like in a CAD software) to find the next line intersection and trim the selected line. Example- if you have a handwritten 'X' , selected this tool, and tapped the top right section of the line going bottom left to top right, it would look like 'λ'

  6. I’m using vertical page view. No matter how fast I scroll (ipad, with a finger), it a fixed speed. This is not the case with native scrolling, in a webpage for example or a pdf file.
    Pls make scrolling with varied speed, same as native device.

  7. I think it would be an awesome idea to implement a color search! I often use different colors to represent different elements in my notes. For example, I use blue to write new equations or formulas and yellow to write important terminology. It would be so useful to be able to search for words by the color they are written in! Of course, it’s probably a difficult thing to accomplish (what with the ability for users to choose their color from the wheel), but I think if we were allowed to search for our presets, that might help fix that!

  9. Hi there!

    I use Good Notes for taking notes in university. And I have to wrote down often medical words that good notes do not recognize. In addition I often want to typ in a language that does not exist in good notes.
    So Good Notes to allways automaticly correct my words (which are correct, but good Notes think they are wrong because it ist not in his dictonary). I know that I can disable the spelling correction. However, that work only for 1 text-box... If I go to the next slide/page, I have to disable the spelling correction each…

  11. In windows like for exporting, the button to execute the final step ("Export" in this case) is blue, like the Apple pop-up windows. This suggests hitting the return key should work like pressing that button with the cursor like with Apple pop-ups, but this is not the case. Seems like a simple fix that would just make users' lives a little easier.

  12. Hi,
    My professors sometimes provide us with scans of documents to read. I like to annotate as I read. However because these can be scans with black edges from scanning, it is really hard to find a color that will show through. If I was able to put an opaque shape behind my text to make it easily viewable, that would be awesome. The current fill only allows for a see though fill and it doesn’t help at all. I also can’t chose white because it would not show on the white spaces and I don’t want to be changing…

  15. Please add the auto-advance feature on the Mac app too, because it is quite useful but available only on GoodNotes 5 for iOS.

  16. when many tabs are opened, it becomes harder to maintain a good overview. I suggest the option of putting tabs of documents together in a group or stack, so that I can now work on other documents, but still can reopen the other tabs fast without having to close them before.
    For example: I‘m working on my physics homework and my answer and exercise sheets are opened. But also, I do have to take a look from time to time into the maths and physics theory notes, but not often, and still, they are using up a lot of tab…

  17. Now it is very difficult to make a perfect square with the shape tool. It would be nice if you add pre defined shapes or improve the shape recognition.
    Also a two fingers gestures to resize and rotate the figures would be awesome.

  18. Kinda like in procreate, clip studio or photoshop that the line drags a bit, but it helps make the lines more smooth and pretty.

  19. It is getting tedious for me to switch between 6 commonly used colours with a 3-slot palette when there is clearly space on the app interface to accommodate all 6 of them.

  20. I use "GoodNotes 5.4" with iPad Pro 2018, I am totally satisfied, however the geometric tools should be improved. Ideal would be to add predefined geometric figures, triangle, rectangle, square, circle. I have a lot of difficulty creating perfect squares, there are no way to manage the fill separately from the contour line. It is not possible to draw dashed lines. The option adding layers in drawings would also be nice. Are you planning to add these features in the future?
    Best regards
