  2. When creating shapes, each vertex should have a movable snap point, so we could resize the polygon on any shape we want, just like the app Notes Plus. For engineering students like me it would be very useful when drawing complex structures that need precision.

    We’re happy to announce that the update 5.6.0 that we released today adds an improved shape recognition including the option to hold at the end of a line to make a perfect shape, shape selection & editing, and curve drawing. It further improves the recognition of circles and squares and adds back the ability to draw shapes with the highlighter.

  4. Please make a button on the main tool bar, that will call up my last viewed page, similar to the "Return" button on a TV remote control.

    For example, if I am using this app to do homework at page 134 and I want to check for my answer at 658. I can switch the two pages by using the bookmark, which is tedious. Or I can click a button and it will allow me to switch back and forth between the 134 and 658 after I had already switched back and forth once previously.

    I am thinking it would…

  5. When you use jot touch the palm rejection doesn't work correctly.
    (try this: press the jot touch's tip while drawing by your finger on ipad.)

    This app allows a finger to draw even jot touch palm rejection is enabled.

    So I guess, you can reject all touch event (except header and UI area), and only allow the touch event if jot touch has pressure sensitivity from starting.

    sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand what I am saying.

    Thank you for the great product,

  7. I love taking notes and drawing in GoodNotes and it would be great if I could rotate the objects I've drawn on the page. We can already change the color and scale the object, so it would be nice to be able to rotate these objects.

    Rotation of handwritten objects is possible in GoodNotes 5. Select the objects with the lasso tool and tap on “resize”. You’ll also find the option to rotate the selection.

  10. It would be good that the Adonite Jot Touch pressure sensitivity can be used as palm rejection as with the Ten One Pogo connect. There it works fine, however the Pogo Connect is not so good because of the thick tip. Further it is defect now after 1 Month. If you could include the same feature for the Jot Touch this would be great.
    It would be also nice if one can use the buttons to turn pages in a presentation.

  12. Having highlighted some hand-written notes, the eraser will delete both the highlight and the text. Please give an option for the eraser to delete only the highlight, leaving the notes "underneath" intact.

    In GoodNotes 5, the eraser can be set to “erase highlighter only”. Tap and hold on the eraser icon to access the settings.

    Don’t forget to deactivate it afterward to also erase regular ink strokes again.

  13. I want to use my camera to scan directly to goodNotes..but the camera function must be better example with a scanner function.Thank you

    We added an OCR document scanner to GoodNotes 5.3 on iPadOS. You can now scan documents and add them to your library in GoodNotes or to existing documents. Tap the + button in the library or in the navigation bar of an open document and select “scan”.

    the document scanner supports OCR to make typed text searchable in GoodNotes for all latin-based languages. You can read more about our latest update on goodnotes.com/ipad-os.

  14. Please make app compatible with GoogleDrive, like you have done with Dropbox, etc. Thanks!

  15. Goodnotes is a great app---and getting better all the time. I would love to have the eraser tool on the zoom window tool bar. This would allow me to use the full screen mode when writing in the zoom window. This removes the main screen toolbar for better visibility of what I have already written.

    Keep up the great work!

  18. Notebook COVERS look oldfashioned, dull. Moreover the findability of documents would be improved by livelier patterns/colours, I think.

  19. It would be great if you had an option to password protect a selected notebook in case you have to create one that would contain sensitive information.

    Introducing Password Protection for your documents


    To lock a document, tap on the context menu for the document in the library view and set a password. Anytime you try to open, export, duplicate, or delete the document, Goodnotes will ask you for the set password. If you’re using a device that supports FaceID or TouchID, you can use these instead of your password to unlock a document. Please note that you can have only one password that will apply to all locked notebooks and that Password Protection is only available in Goodnotes 6. Learn more


    Update to version 6.4.2 in App Store to use Password Protection.
