  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. With the new dark mode, it would be nice to have the highlighter be more visible, it almost becomes invisible on dark paper

  14. Yellow/beige paper is fine on the iPad, but when exported in PDF the whole document is the same colour and wastes a lot of ink when printing.

  17. I just bought this pen, and it's by far the best bluetooth tablet pen I've ever used. Just the right weight, comfortable, the pressure sensitivity is perfect, and you can even use it as a regular stylus in any app.

    But the only supported app, Bamboo paper, is not very good for note taking.

    Please consider adding support for this superb pen.

  18. I have a lot of Folders in my GoodNotes Library and every Folder is just blue. On my Mac I've changed every Folder Icon in my music library with the album cover.

    Should be great to have that option in GoodNotes

  19. Currently I can only rearrange one page at a time.
    If I want 5 pages to be moved up or down in page order, I have to rearrange one by one.

  20. The old version used to allow the iOS clock to be visible at the top of the screen. In the new version, the clock is no longer visible. This is much cleaner, however, if there are other users like me who teach a class using GoodNotes with my lecture notes, having that clock visible is pretty important for keeping the class schedule. Would it be possible to add an option for a clock to display on the GoodNotes menu bar?
