  1. Please, people that don't has an apple pencil but has another smart stylus now can't use it with GN5 as they did in GN4. I'm a new user, and when i found that out I had already bought GN5, and now I don't want to spend another 8 dollars to buy GN4

    Hi there,

    We’re planning to release the new Mac version soon but are still working on some missing features, which is why I can’t promise an exact time frame right now. You can sign up here (https://goo.gl/forms/0POBGsmxy2aXJrpf2) to apply for early access. We’re inviting a new batch of sign-ups about once a week, so it shouldn’t take long before you can use the new Mac version.

  3. I'd love to see Goodnotes accessible via a apple pencil tap on the lock screen. Currently Apple Notes can be accessed this way, it would be nice if Goodnotes could replace this the default Notes. Options to open last open notebook when tapped would be a great compliment to this feature.

  4. Please fix or add a shapes editor. I am currently trying to make a bar graph in my notes, but for some reason the shapes tool changes my rectangle into a line. It’s could easily be solved if you are able to manipulate the shape like in Procreate. Another option would to just add a graph tab with various graph options and make them customizable. In my case I need to create a Pareto Chart.

    Thanks for submitting the feedback. This is a known bug that we’re already working on. We’ll mark this as “declined”, as we’re trying to use this forum for feature requests and ideas only not for bug reports.

  5. Laggy zoom, and also laggy when erasing some written notes, never experience this in GoodNotes 4. Please fit it.

    This should be fixed by updating to the latest version 5.0.29. We’ll mark this as declined as we’re trying to use the feedback forum for feature requests only and not for bug reports. If something is not working as expected, please visit support.goodnotes.com, where you can find troubleshooting help, guides, the latest release notes and bug fixes, and also contact our support via email.

  6. I wish that we could access good notes when you double tap the apple pencil on the screen turned off. That would be amazing when you have a digital planner in the app.

    Indeed, it would be fantastic. Sadly, this is a system feature that Apple hasn’t opened for third-party app developers like us. We’ll be the first to implement that should they open it up at some point.

  7. Well you know how you can get an automatic shape? Why not add an automatic lettering tool so it looks more like the letters you write. it would make my notes a lot easier to read and write with.

  9. I don't understand why it is not made compatible with iOS 6. I'd be happy to pay again if you could make it iOS 6 compatible. Please make it iOS 6 compatible.

  10. Not everyone wants to upgrade to iOS 7. I really want to use this with a full version, but I'm not allowed since I keep iOS 6. Please don't make me to upgrade my iPad system, which is the last thing that I would like to do with my iPad. So please just make it compatible with iOS 6! I'll appreciate it!
