  1. I tend to prefer to take notes using the dark background with white ink but this makes it so that if for some reason i need to print my note

    I tend to prefer to take notes using the dark background with white ink but this makes it so that if for some reason i need to print my notes, I need to go through by hand and change all the white text to black or some other color before i can export it as a pdf. Does there is any thing which might help in this process ? If not Can you introduce any feature like colour swap feature which is in OneNote or invert colour? In future updates...

  2. Box cloud support in goodnotes 5, it was present in goodnotes 4

    Please return the box cloud support in goodnotes 5. I put a lot of files on my box account and not want to switch to other cloud storage. It used to be available in goodnotes 4 for auto-backup. Thanks

  4. Move Page further to the left or right for comfortable writing

    When I write on pages without margins, the left edge of my page is flush with the left edge of my iPad screen (or locked in the centre). This makes it uncomfortable to write from the very edge of the screen for left handed users. Could you possibly make it so the user has more control over how far left/right the page sits to allow for hand resting room?

  5. Document-Specific Color Sets

    A third section of the color picker with document-specific themes and colors would be nice. I have lots of documents with different color schemes that are made confusing by the current color picker setup.

  6. Bring back beginning/ending points for fountain pen

    The new update (Version 5.4.22) made some tweaks to the beginning/ending points for the ink of fountain pen. It is now much less pressure-sensitive and comes out just like the ball pen. Please bring back the previous version as it writes more like fountain pen. Or at least give us more options for having pen tips or not.

  7. Writing support like in drawing apps for better writing

    Kinda like in procreate, clip studio or photoshop that the line drags a bit, but it helps make the lines more smooth and pretty.

  8. Search PDF Form Fields

    Search will find text on a PDF, but NOT in the form fields of that PDF - though the contents of the form fields is displayed. I work with a lot of fillable PDF's and this is a significant deficiency.

  9. "Go Back" feature

    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.

  10. Unterschriftenfeld (für Kunden oder selber) / Signature field (for customers or yourself)

    Es wäre ganz fein wenn es ein Feld gäbe was man anklickt und es öffnet ein Unterschriftenfeld wo man geziehlt unterschreiben kann. Gegebenfalls mit zwei optionen, 1= Kundenunterschrift -> wird nicht gespeichert. 2= Unterschrift zum speichern...
    Vielen Dank
    Lg Markus

    It would be very nice if there was a field that you click on and it opens a signature field where you can sign it. If necessary with two options, 1 = customer signature -> is not saved. 2 = signature to save ...
    Thanks a lot

  11. Set default to “Import as New Document” for importing

    I would like to be able to set the default option when importing to GoodNotes to be “Import as New Document” rather than “Import to Current Document” to help prevent, for example, accidentally inserting large documents to the middle of other large documents.

  14. Colour coding file

    Colour coding folders!! Maybe just a tab or something in the corner, but it’s so much easier to find a folder by colour than by skimming the names.

  16. Cannot search for numbers smaller than 10

    I cannot search for a single digit number. I have a book imported to goodnotes, but when I search for "3" it says that there is nothing, but obviously there is a page three
