  4. Hey! You could you please add the old feature again so that I can sync the app with my Mac? It's super annoying to send all the files to my macbook, with GoodNotes 4 I was able to sync with Google Drive. This would help a lot!! Thanks

  5. Text needs to be improved, like in Noteshelf 2!!!!
    - Bullet points and other text features like tables needed to be added
    - Switching quickly between preset text fonts and sizes, this is really bad at the moment! Often settings just don‘t work.
    - Text boxes are annoying, don't mix well with handwriting and do not fit into the lines of the default page!!!!

  6. I like to convert hand written notes to text for transfer to Word etc. having to deal with the carriage returns your converter puts in is a pain. It would be much better if the conversion just used word-wrap and let us deal the the txt box shape.

  7. There is a problem with the shape tool, very often I have to repeat the action, because of missing couloring of the area I marked. It would be very nice, if it would be possible to coulor an area after marking it with the pencil.

  8. I would like to know when good notes will be available on Microsoft Go? I need to buy a tablet for my work, my job requires goodnote but I would really prefer Microsoft Go over an iPad. Please let me know ASAP. Thank you!

  9. In GoodNotes 5, the ink in the fountain pen is too sensitive. More pressure makes the line much thicker than in version 4. And less pressure makes the line much thinner than in version 4. In version 4, the range of the ink thickness was much narrower. I would use ballpoint pen mode but that has no pressure sensitivity at all. Essentially I would love some option for a little pressure sensitivity but not too much. Can you please make that happen? In the meantime I will keep using version 4. Thank you!

  10. Addition of switching colors while in zoom-in mode; GoodNotes 4 had the 3 color feature for fast color switching. GoodNotes 5 should implement this as well!

  14. It was very convenient to use the tools (pen color, eraser, one step back...) in the zoom-in box, but it is gone in GoodNotes 5. Please bring them back, they are critical in writing efficiency! Thanks!

  15. I would like to see the option to zoom into e.g. an A4 squared paper with 5mm squares where (zoomed in) the squares on the screen resemble 5mm. Like a 1:1 zoom

  16. To be more productive it would be very helpful if GoodNote would include described features.
    Geometrical shapes means that one can automatically create shapes such as squares, circles etc. without using shape tool.

  17. There are times where I’ve lasso’d a diagram that I’ve drawn or handwriting and I’d like to drag it to the next page but it won’t let you. You have to copy, paste and delete to get the same result

  18. Hi, I would love to see this update soon. No one is doing it and I think it would set you apart from the rest.

    We all use reminders every day for certain tasks, emails and or events. This is so common. But, when I am writing notes using my iPad I may have something in particular I'd like to come back too. How ever having to find it again, or create an anchor or something is a bit difficult at times to do on the fly.

    So, what would be awesome is this. Perhaps the lasso tool has an…

  19. In GoodNotes 5, when I open more than three larger pdf files in tabs, GN 5 can‘t remember the size of the fourth pdf file.

    On the attached video, you see a comparison of GoodNotes 4 and GoodNotes 5
