  2. Restore the functions that were taken away or broken in GN5!

    I am sticking with GN4 for following reasons:

    1) auto save to Dropbox was removed, breaking my whole backup/share setup. 2) Pen colours, eraser, etc which were in a convenient instant access location in the zoom toolbar in GN4 were moved in GN5 so you have to go to top of screen to use them -- really bad ergonomics! 3) The rename bookmark function was dropped or moved or somehow lost 4) Many reported performance issues including laggy/jerky writing and scrolling. GN5 does not seem like an upgrade but a downgrade. Remember... if it ain't broke, don't "fix" it. You…

  5. Logitech crayon support

    The Logitech crayon works on the app, however the pens are basically all the same, the maximum thickness is different to when using drawing with your finger of an apple crayon as I suppose it isn’t fully compatible with the crayon yet.

  6. Mac OS Client

    Having the ability to read (and sometimes to add content) to notes in mac os was a key use case that we have lost from version4

  7. Shape Recognition setting only for highlighter

    The only time I use shape recognition is for highlighting notes or readings. It would be nice to have a setting in the highlighter options to keep shape recognition on for highlighting only. So I don't always have to turn shape recognition on and off while writing and highlighting notes.

    We’re happy to announce that the update 5.6.0 that we released today adds an improved shape recognition including the option to hold at the end of a line to make a perfect shape, shape selection & editing, and curve drawing. It further improves the recognition of circles and squares and adds back the ability to draw shapes with the highlighter.

  8. Suggestions for the shape tool

    The goodnotes shape feature is a bit of a pain to use, the graphics aren't very sophisticated, and the recognition isn't accurate enough. It's very common to draw a rectangle and then you get a trapezoid. Hope to be able to improve the corresponding algorithm, make it more natural and easy to use. I really like the goodnotes app. Thank you for your efforts.

  9. Add shape recognition icon to zoom window toolbar

    Would it be possible to also display a „shape recognition“ icon within the „zoom window - toolbar“?

    For me that would help make my note taking process more fluid, as I switch back and forth between on/off „shape recognition“ and moving all thereafter to Thermopylae left corner, interrupts the process. Having the same icon as part of the 2zoom window - toolbar“ would be great.

    I hope this might be an easy one, as it would simply replicate the already available icon and state of both icons.

    Thanks,
    Maximilian

  10. Create application for Mac computer to sync notes iPad-Computer

    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.

    I am unable to download Goodnotes for my Mac, since the app is not available in the Portuguese Mac App Store!

  15. Page width snap to zoom

    1st hour migrating from Notability. But, in Goodnotes you can't snap to zoom the page to full width. Also, when you flip the ipad into landscape orientation it would be great for full with to be maintained. Maybe a button to zoom to full page or page width... would be great. Please :-)

  16. Page numbers in standard view

    Please create a view in that the current page number and the total page numbers are being shown in the standard view. This would make it easier to navigate. You could also have a function that automatically number the pages.

    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.

  17. Put out a new app. Goodnotes 5.

    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. Stay in business

    Give us Mac users some way to view or edit GoodNotes 5 files. I am thinking of uninstalling GoodNotes and reverting back to Notability. I have seen market-leading companies fail because they killed core products before they had a replacement... not an idle claim: I have IPO's on three stock exchanges under my belt.

  19. Goodnotes 5 is a Disaster, it doesn't work - Make it work!

    Goodnotes 5 is a Disaster, it doesn't work - Make it work!
    Better take it off the App Store, before professional user run away using other apps. GoodNotes 4 was working fine, but also slowly losing to the competition because of missing features.

  20. Add an option to only erase with the apple pencil

    So it is useful being able to erase with your finger, but it would be great to be able to toggle just using the apple pencil to erase to avoid accidentally erasing notes on review etc. and not noticing!
