  1. For my lectures, I use "Mirror Presenter Page" to mirror my writing on a pdf file to an AirServer window on my Mac. The AirServer window is then overlayed in OBS with a video of myself (greenscreen). When I zoom out, Good Notes applies a black color to fill the background. I would like to suggest to be able to choose the background color (either black/white or color palette) and/or use a transparent background.

  2. Currently we need to use the lasso tool to do convert but its not practical at all, because we need then to copy the text and post a text box to put it inside, writing in MS word is easier this way! there is an app called Nebo and its doing it write, GoodNotes is my favorite so please make it easy to do so.

  3. I do sketching technical detail works on a black page canvas templates and usually I have to bring up a gradation colour set of white to grey.

    However when Im going back to another Notebook that is a white page I need to use black colours.

    It would be nice if we can first of all we had an option to switch between a customised colours of our own made set of 3s

    For e.g. I would have White, grey and Dark grey
    and Ill be able to hit a switch icon and it will cycle through to another made…

  5. Leave alone the searching feature in handwritten notes….
    But even in text notes or typed texts, it does not shows up the matches while searching many many a times….
    Even if there are lets say 8/9 matches but it only shows like 1 matches or no matches at all….
    And i have time & again confirmed this fact, it has become so irritating dats why i m requestin u guys…
    Pliz pliz look into these…. As my notes r very bulky i need hav this feature essentially

  6. Bring back support for 3rd party styluses! Specifically, SonarPen. According to its Kickstarter, goodnotes was in the beta stage for officially supporting it--what happened?

  7. Yesterday evening I created a folder on my desktop and added 7 files to it (exams I was about to grade). It took over 22 hours for these 7 files to finally appear on the iPad. Both the desktop and the iPad were connected to the network all the time. That's waaaaaaay too long.

  8. It's pretty annoying to have to switch back to the pen after pasting copied content (even when pasting handwritten text).

  10. Move the COPY option back to the middle of the options when using the lasso tool. Having to move my hand/pencil all the way to the left (or to either far side, for that matter) is not intuitive for left or right-handed people.

  12. I've been using Goodnotes 5 for several years both for work and for personal affairs. It's my go-to for note-taking, info filing, etc. (My Notability has gone into the Cloud, maybe forever ..).

    With frequent use over time, the problem is what I stated on the subject line. I know there's a way to "favorite" a page, a folder, etc. And yes, there is a SEARCH bar.

    But there does not seem to be flexibility in customizing my "library" of materials, and the layout of the main page (currently only by date, name, type) to enable me to feel better…

  18. Serious flaws

    The text box never aligns with the horizontal line provided by the "single column" template

    This will seriously affect the neatness and aesthetics of keyboard input

    I hope developers can improve this as soon as possible

    This is really important!

  19. I would like to write till the end of the last line on a page but auto-advance doesn't suggest that so I'll have to manually keep dragging the window or move it. It would be better if it suggests a new page when the last line is also complete.

  20. Dear Goodnotes4 Developers

    How are you?
    I am a Goodnotes 4 user from Thailand and I have a question for you. I can't open Goodnote4 after updating my iOS version to 14.6. I have important files in the app and I tried importing them to Goodnotes 5 but to no avail. Is there any way I can get my files and documents back?
    Thank you for taking the time to read this and I am patiently looking forward to your reply.

    Thank you.
    Charles
