  1. Why would an app as fine as Good Notes not have text recognition? I don't like my handwriting and would rather convert selected handwriting to text. I'm very disappointed that this feature isn't available.

  3. A page counter would be fine. As of now the only way to know where exactly you are on a document is to open the thumbnail feature. If the page number were displayed (maybe as an in/out option) it would save us a good deal of time.

    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.

  4. We need a desktop version. It makes it so much harder to do work when you can't flip back and forth. PLEASE!!!

  8. I am incredibly happy that you have added the voice recording feature. I would be very pleased If you add another feature where we can adjust the speed of the audio recording. (such as 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x or 0.5x)

  9. Please reintroduce the GoodNotes 4 ability to upload the pdf version of the file in google drive and dropbox in the new 5 version. It is very useful for sharing notes with other people and to open it on the pc. In particular now without an app for the mac for GoodNotes 5.

  10. I wish it could be possible to switch between the classic page turning and a continuous scrolling. When working on math projects, it would be very convenient to have a continuous scroll so that I can always see my last result or steps without having to continuously switch pages. Ideally I'd love to be able to mix continuous rolls with classic page by page notebook.

  11. Hello,

    I purchased the full version of this great application and have been using it for some time. The one thing that I would absolutely love to see changed... I mean I feel if the functionality allowed this it would turn this from being a great application to an amazing must have application is the ability to use additional fonts. Why do you restrict the font selection to just a few??? Why not allow us to use any font that we have installed (.ttf) File) in our iPhone or iPad??? I would be elated if you would consider adding this…

    GoodNotes 5 supports all system fonts. This means you can install new fonts on iOS using an app like “AnyFont”, which will be accessible through GoodNotes 5’s text tool. Please note that installing custom fonts on your iOS device can be a security risk as it is usually happening by installing custom profiles, which we do not recommend.

  12. In good notes 4 we can only have subfolders in a masterfolder, i would like to be able to create as many subfolders inside subfolders as i wish

  13. For iOS 11, it would be great if photos, text and pdfs could be dropped into a workbook. You could also add drag and drop support for moving individual pages between different notebooks and moving notebooks to different folders.

  14. Using both GoodNotes, for annotating reports, and Paper 53 for quick notes and art doodles with the same fully functional Pencil 53 stylus would make the iPad perfect

  17. First of all great app. Very clean, very easy to use. Any chance we could a slightly larger variety of fonts to choose from? a couple of fonts that have a hand written appearance would be nice. My disability prevents me from actually writing, I copy and paste charts and information onto the pages, then type over them with my own notes.

    GoodNotes 5 includes all system fonts. You can also install more fonts through external profiles to your device, which will be available in the GoodNotes 5 text tool. You can change fonts by tapping on the brush icon in the upper right when the text tool is selected.

  19. Since GoodNotes 6, family sharing via the Apple iOS app store is unfortunately no longer supported by GoodNotes.

    This is really frustrating because it means that we can no longer use the app as a family. That's why I would like to suggest that the developers reconsider supporting family sharing in GoodNotes 6 as well.

  20. Since the app can tell which inputs are from the Apple Pencil and which are from your hands, why not allow navigation with one finger(instead of two) while using the Apple Pencil to write? It'll be much more intuitive and efficient.
