  2. There are only three colors to choose from in GoodNotes 5. This makes it hard to color code my notes and unlock the full potential the pictures on the AppStore showed. Please allow us to make our own colors and add a color eye dropper. Thank you.

  3. My intended primary use for Goodnotes is to markup PDFs. These PDFs are already organised in Google Drive, and I would like to edit these files directly (rather than having the edited versions saved elsewhere).

  5. The latest edition of Goodnote has cancelled the brushstrokes. It is really disturbing. Please return the tip of a writing brush or we have no choice but to use other app which can provide the brushstokes function. Please!!!

  6. I’m a medical student in Japan. I can’t study medicine without good notes!
    Please give me another chance to free upgrade to GoodNotes 5.
    In addition,I’ve paid the full price for GoodNotes 4.
    I truely apologize for not getting the free upgrade before January 15th,2020 in spite of your highly recommendation.
    However, my father purchases GoodNotes 5 today and it made me want to use version 5 notes.
    I would be grateful if you could give me another chance!
    Very much needed! Please!!

  7. In all other versions of Goodnotes I could import a google doc or google slide directly. Please bring this back. Almost all teachers need this functionality and it will turn us away from the app. I am really disappointed that after updating the app version this functionality has been lost.

  8. It is very awkward for left-handed people to resize lasso-ed items by dragging the lower left corner. Would be great if the delete and resize buttons (in opposite corners) could be reversed for lefties!

  9. 現状、iCloudバックアップはGoodNotes5に保存している全てのデータを自動でCloudにアップロードして他のデバイスでファイルに加えた変更が反映されるようになっているがデバイスごとの容量の違いから読み込めないファイルが発生してしまい容量の小さい方のデバイスでiCloudバックアップをオンにできない状況が発生しています。

    例えば自分はiPad Pro(512Gb)とiPad mini(64Gb)を使っています。iPad Pro内のGoodNotes5に保存したデータが100Gbを超えており全てiCloudにアップロードしています。しかしiPadminiの容量が足りないためにiPadmini内のGoodNotes5のiCloudバックアップをオンにできない状況です。

    この解決策としてGoodNotes5内の全てのファイルをiCloudにアップロードする必要はないため、アップロードするファイルを選択して使えるようにできたらより便利になると思います。
    ご検討のほどよろしくお願いします。

  10. Right now there are only two ways to search the text content of your notes. You can search in the file that is currently open or you can search all of your files at once. I think it would be extremely useful if you could specify which files to perform the search on.

    機能の充実

    今のところ開いているファイル内での文字の検索とGoodnotes5に保存しているファイル全件を貫通して検索する方法のいずれかのみだが、
    いくつかの目的としているファイルを指定してその中のみで文字の検索ができる機能を追加してもらえると非常に便利になると思います。

  11. It would be great if the highlighter and pen presets could be saved to iCloud. Recently, I accidentally deleted Goodnotes 5 on my iPad and I had to deal with setting my highlighter and pen presets all over again. Some of the colours are different from the set of presets I had earlier on.

  14. I cannot scroll the IPad Pro up and down when using Apple Magic KeyBoard like I use in the Notability. It is really inconvenient when reading the documents

  15. The Zoom window is too small when it moves to the next line. If you want to indent, it's really annoying to have to advance it to get a full sized window.

  16. Sorry, if I missed an existing feature request or if this feature is already available.
    I love GoodNotes for digitally signing documents; for this, it would be great to have a feature like "Mark as final" for protecting documents or notes from further modifications.

  17. I create a colour-coded key that I add to the top righthand corner of every page in my notebook (coded for priority).

    I manually add this to each new page. It would be great if I could add this to the template so it automatically appears on each new page.

  18. I tend to paste images of text or diagrams onto my notes and I find myself using freehand cropping more often. I was wondering if there was a way to make my freehand lines straight? The best way I can describe it is I want my cropped images to look like a Tetris piece instead of a sloppy cropping. I can’t draw in a straight line and I would love for my freehand cropped images had clean lines.

  19. It always takes so long to press export, select Google Classroom, and wait for the terrible extension to load. It often makes my work turned in late. So I think it will be a great idea to add a feature to export directly or quicker to other apps.
