  2. I am using GoodNotes 4.4.2 extensively. I was looking for good stylus, I saw Pogo Connect was compatible with GoodNotes. I bought Pogo Connect 2. I was able to connect to it using their app and GoodNotes showed connected. I cannot write on GoodNotes. I figured out that horizontal lines capturing failed more than 95% of time. Also vertical lines failed sometime. I contacted Pogo support. They told me that current version of GoodNotes is using old SDK. I wanted to know when new version with compatible SDK will be available?

  3. Please give us the option to make sub-categories. I seem to remember that Goodnotes had promised this upgrade, but it's not in Goodnotes 4.

  4. like circus ponies notebook, you can sync your iPad notebook with Mac or vice versa. Sometimes when your iPad battery dies you can keep on working on your mac!

  5. It's very useful to take photos right in the app when I am making notes on my iPad. However, there are some photos that I'd like to edit later. It's very unconvenient to edit photos in the app, such as cropping a photo. Also, I guess this feature is not hard to realize.

  6. honestly some of the notebook covers are not great on goodnotes I personally like my notebook cover to be related to the content inside like for example for history i would go for an ancient notebook cover and for biology structure of the body or something like that it would be easier to do this if i could add it as a note book cover so that I don't have to import if from my photos all the time.

  7. Some times we need to reference different pages of the same document at the same time and will switch among these pages. Could you show multiple pages of the same document and each page is in a different tab so that we can jump to these pages easily and quickly? A simple implementation is to allow a document to be opened in multiple windows. A better implementation is to alllow multiple pages to be sticked on different tabs.

    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.

  9. The highlighter options on black paper are very grim and don’t show up as bright as pen colors do. True highlighter colors showing up on black paper would be an awesome addition I feel, and hopefully not too difficult a feature to implement!

  11. Have an option to display the page number of the document we're currently viewing. Like ‘page 3 out of 25’ or a simplified version of that. :)

  12. This is more of a question. I signed on to the beta for Good Notes 5 for Mac. Unfortunately it is not supported on Mac OS 10.x (my mac can’t upgrade to newer editions). Are there plans to have the standard version of Good Notes 5 run on older OS versions? I hope so, I liked GooodNotes 4 and loving GoodNotes5

  13. GoodNotes is a boombastic App, but when I‘m at home and do my office work I use my iMac Pro and it would be nearly perfect when all my Notes/Docs/PDFs and synced at every of my devices.

    ... and it would be great to import pictures directly „as an own site“

  15. I like the iPad app, however I need to be able to share notes, annotated PDF, etc. between my computer and iPad. Although I can export, it would be much more seamless to be able to open the application on my computer and have the notes/annotated files right there.

  17. Put out a new app. Goodnotes 5. With adding fonts, more pens, better handwriting, to name a few. Oh, yeah, also fill color, orientation sizing.

  18. Include a tool that allows the user to select, like the lasso tool, a drawn-out area of notes and render it invisible. This area can then be made visible by the tap of a finger within it (the margins of the invisible area are visible). Pretty much integrated flash cards and is valuable for those individuals using the SQ3R study method, or a similar method when taking notes.

  19. I think it would be a great feature if you could open 2 tabs at the same time, opened SIDE BY SIDE.

    That way, we don't have to use a separate pdf reader when we're taking notes, (both on the pdf and the notebook itself.) :)

    We’re excited to announce that we have completed this feature. It is now available in the update GoodNotes 5.3 for iPadOS (13.1).

    With the update, we added full support for iPadOS’ multiple windows. It lets you do much more than viewing two documents side by side. To read everything you need to know about opening multiple documents, please visit goodnotes.com/ipad-os.

    How to open a new window:

    You can now open GoodNotes in multiple windows to view two documents side by side, view two pages of the same document in Split View, or pair it with other apps in spaces across your entire system. To open a new window, drag any of the elements listed below to the side of your screen:

    - the app icon from the dock
    - documents from the library
    - folders from the library
    - individual pages from the document thumbnail view
    - tabs from the…

  20. When selecting auto backup options, allow users to choose more than one type. Backing up as GoodNotes is good when a restore is needed, but having a backup to PDF ensures that the data is accessible no matter what.
