  1. When searching in korean, the results are not conveient. For example, when I search the word "굿노트", I expect the pages which include "굿노트". But Goodnote shows me all the pages which have "굿" and "노" and "트" separately. This example is same in English : searching "good", then result is all the pages which have "g", "o", "d". This means Goodnote can't understand Korean words perfectly. So searching function is useless for me when I search in Korean.

  3. the text boxes system is outdated, unconfortable and breaks the "note-taking flow". Add tap & type as, for example, notability, or a similar function.

  4. It was possible in GoodNotes 4 to draw very thin lines, 1 pixel size.
    I often use GoodNotes by beginning to write something on one sheet with the stylus, then select all and reduce the size, then zoom in to write more things on the page.
    On GoodNotes 4 the smallest width (0.5) was the same when reducing.
    On GoodNotes 5, the smallest width is too thick, after reducing the new lines are much more thicker than the reduced ones.
    This was a must for me in GoodNotes 4.
    Please please please :)

  5. 1.In the Zoom Window, eraser, frequently used color, backward, etc. have disappeared. It is annoying because the move is long.

    2.After all, it does not seem to support two page views at a time.

    3.No highlighter in Drawing Shapes. Drawing shape with Highlighters are only linear ...
    At Goodnote 4, i can draw circle, triangle, etc with highlighter.

    4.There is still no changing the template at once ....
    When I write i use grid and i print i with only white page.
    I have to change it every single page.

    5.On the preview page, version 4 shows the current page…

  6. There are multiple features that I used daily from Goodnotes 4 that are non-existent in Goodnotes 5. I know you said that the Airplay display features are coming but since I only used Goodnotes while Airplaying this is a big deal for me.

    Also there is no option for importing/exporting to other cloud based storage (google drive, OneDrive for business, Dropbox). I used these with the automatic backup feature (also non-existent) everyday in my classroom. I am very disappointed with the release of Goodnotes 5 as you said that you took all the great parts of Goodnotes 4 and added…

  7. I recently started using Goodnotes in my classroom as a replacement for worksheets under a document camera. While Goodnotes works very well overall, I noticed a critical limitation for classroom use:
    When using a document camera, students can see my hand and the pen. This provides natural orientation: they immediately recognize when I start writing, where I am on the page, and when they should follow along.
    In Goodnotes, this orientation is missing. Students often do not immediately realize that writing has started.
    Students cannot clearly see where on the page I am currently writing or drawing. This is especially…

  8. 오랜시간동안 아이폰과 아이패드를 사용하면서 굿노트를 사용해 왔는데 최근 업무로 인해 안드로이드 스마트 폰을 구매 했습니다.

    굿노트를 안드로이드와 아이패드에서 동기화 해 사용하고 싶어 pro 버전 구독도 했지만 goodnotes cloud 사용이 불가능해 연동이 안됩니다.

    초대 링크도 받지 못해 사용할 수 없는데 대단히 불편합니다. 가능하다면 goodnotes cloud 링크를 보내주시거나 빨리 기능을 업데이트해 사용할 수 있게 된다면 좋겠습니다.

    Hello,

    I have been using GoodNotes on my iPhone and iPad for a long time. Recently, due to work, I purchased an Android smartphone.

    I subscribed to the Pro version because I wanted to use GoodNotes on both my Android device and iPad with synchronization. However,…

  9. Please allow for a way to turn auto correct on and off for individual documents, I have some documents where I use a lot of abbreviations or some that I like to just quickly scribble something down. It gets annoying though when there are constant red lines underneath because I spelt it wrong (because spelling is not very important for these documents). But I also do not want to turn auto correct off because I still have a lot of documents that I use the autocorrect feature.

  10. TextDoc

    I have been a GoodNotes user for several years throughout my undergraduate time and plan to continue using it through graduate school. I have fallen in love with the TextDoc option, but there are several issues. First, when exporting a TextDoc to a PDF, there is very little room on the "printed" PDF, especially if any headings are used, which is an integral feature for lengthy notes. If DevOps has any way to ensure the headings are kept while the overall size is altered when imported. This could be solved by changing the Text or Font size. Second, another…

  11. With every update, I feel like I’m losing out on convenience.
    Now the Lasso tool – one of my most-used tools – has been pushed even further down the context menu, in favour of other fancy tools that I never use.
    The Lasso tool must be right at the top of the list!

    As not all of us have the same needs: please let us customise the context menu so that everyone can adapt it to their personal requirements. Thank you very much!

  15. Please add customise font setting for the box where 3 default fonts are preset already. Those preset 3 fonts I rarely use. Kindly check the below photo to understand what I wanted to say!

  16. I wish we could give the whiteboards covers instead of the zoomed out version of the whole whiteboard. It would make organizing my different boards so much easier.

  17. Currently, the app offers three pen stroke thicknesses (thin, medium, thick). It would be useful to allow users to add one or two additional stroke options for greater flexibility in note-taking and diagramming.

    I think a lot of students would benefit from this option especially students who zoom in to write on tiny organ pictures and re-zoom out for a different font size, like in my case.

    The idea is for those who want to add they can who don’t want then nothing changes.

    Best regards,
    Hasan ataba

  18. I used to make perfect stars with a ball pen whenever I drew a wobbly star and then locked my pen in place for it to snap into a perfect star shape. But with the new update you guys for no reason at all ruined this for me. Whenever I try to make the same star shape it clicks into a CIRCLE OR A SQUARE FOR NO APPARENT REASON AT ALL even though what I drew has NOTHING to do with an as simple shape as circle or a square. Please fix this I can not study as efficiently as…

  19. The current screenshot feature captures all notes on the page. I wish to add an option to capture only the background.

    Also, it would be easier to have an option like "screenshot and copy", the current workflow is too complex: screenshot, share, copy, and close the preview...

    So two features: "screenshot background", "screenshot and copy".
