  2. While editing a note on my iPad, there is a row of tab's at the top showing other notebooks. I don't understand how those are sorted. Anyhow, I suggest to sort the tabs by the date when those documents have been edited last. This would be, IMO, the most useful sorting.

  3. As a left hander it often happens that the page jumps or the zoom changes while writing. It would be nice to have a button which locks the zoom and the position of the page. Alternatively I would like to have a sidebar on the left side to put my hand to reduce the page jumps and zoom changes.

  4. The PDF has text underneath and the pen will automatically straighten when drawn under it. Same with highlighting. That way you aren’t thinking about which pen you are using and thinking about the actual information

  5. 目前在非编辑模式下快速点击屏幕边缘无法连续翻页,必须等当前翻页动画结束后才能触发下一个翻页动作。这样大幅减小了翻页速度,使得想要快速翻许多页时只能借助缩略图或者蓝牙键盘,十分不便。而在GoodNotes 5的旧版本中是可以实现上述的快速翻页的 ,希望可以恢复这个特性。

  6. Tracing would greatly improve our work and presentations and at the same time will bring more colleagues who work for transport onto your platform.

  7. Add a mini toolbar when the zoomed function is being used. This will allow us to quickly switch between three or more multiple tools without having to reach up to the menubar to do so.
    The recommended tools are: pen, eraser, highlighter and maybe the shape tool.

  9. Like PDFExpert, a Scrollbar which you can drag and jump very fast to a specific spot. Unique would be that the scrollbar appears on the opposide of what you setted regarding right-or left-handed.
    Thanks GoodNotes time great job, I'm looking forward for all the new features.

    1. There should be a function to add text/handwritten notes to highlights/or anywhere in the document in PDF reader. After adding the the text/notes, the text box can minimize into an icon next to the highlighted area.

    2. The notes can be compiled and exported/email/printed with or without the document. Information (page no of document/highlighted passages) can be displayed together with/without the notes when exported. This provides easy reference to the notes.

  12. More pens on the top tool bar -- I like to have a certain color for certain parts of my notes for medical school. I.e. green for treatment, red for disorder, blue for diagnosis, and then I write everything else in black so I keep having to go back and forth. Instead of like 3 choices being available at one time, having 5 or 6 would be awesome

  13. My idea goes about the Date-Name option that we have to organize Folders and Docs. In my case it’s useful to organize my folders in Name mode, but inside my folders I usually create documents with Dates as their name. I wonder if you can develop the possibility to order like folders with one option (ie Name) and inside the folder order docs by date. Thanks and I’m enjoying GoodNotes 5 very much.

  14. Goodnotes 4 had a feature whereby one could "go back" to the last page one had viewed in the document. This feature is not available in Goodnotes 5. I request that this feature be added to Goodnotes 5.

  15. We definitely need to sync data of GoodNotes with other cloud storage services rather than iCloud!
    Since we only have 5GB with default in iCloud, it’s pretty hard to maintain available storage.

    Please add a ability to link with cloud storages that we usually use.(including Box, GoogleDrive, OneDrive, Dropbox etc.)
    Especially Box would be very nice for me!

  17. I would like the be able to pin the search sidebar to quickly look thru search results. Also, I would like to be able to double click on text (Mac version) to select text that I can paste in the search query.

  18. When I import goodnotes format to Goodnotes5, it shows an error message "OZZipException" or "GoodNotes4Converter.DocumentReader.ReaderError".

    This happened recently from Jan.23 2020. Before that, importing function worked ok (same document worked normal before but showed error recently)!
