  5. Eine Funktion zur Texterkennung von Dokumenten, welche von der GoodNotes App gescannt wurden. Momentan verfügen von GoodNotes gescannte Dokumente nicht über Texterkennung.

  6. There ought to be a way to switch back and forth between the file navigator utility and your open notes. If you go to the file navigator now, you have to select a file to go back to the viewing/editing part of the app. You must either open a new notebook/note, or select one you already have open. It can be time-consuming to navigate back to the file you already have open after exploring your folders, and it is annoying to open up a file unnecessarily just to go back to the editing/viewing pane.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’ll see how we can make it easier in the future. For now, you can find a list of recently opened documents when you open the Search tab in the library.

  7. It would be nice to be able to add keywords to the documents, which you can search for in order to find the exact content in each document. Like a table of contents I can search for.

  8. I find it very frustrating that there are two separate interfaces for the writing and the notebook organization. If I'm looking through notebooks, but want to go back to the notebook I was writing in, I have to choose a notebook in order to get back to that interface with all the notebooks I have open. I'd love for some way we could access each of these interfaces at the same time so I don't have to open a notebook just to get back to where I was.

  9. I would like to record a teaching video and annotate the good notes document on the iPad without using the presentation function. That means: when I am screen recording using goodnotes, the tool bar is visible to me but it could not be seen in the recorded video.

    According to this article (https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/208876886--GoodNotes-4-How-to-record-a-video-lecture-), it should be on the roadmap, but how come it still not launch?

    It would be a great improvement in the functionality and practicality of GoodNotes! Please do consider this!

  10. There have been many times where I have multiple tabs open and I accidentally close a notebook - then I have to go back to find it in my folders/subfolders.

    A feature that allows us to see "recently opened notebooks" would be useful.

    1. Straight line and geometric shapes drawing should be easy like Notability.

    2. Pencil cursor option should be there for presentation mode, so that while writing pencil appears at that point.

    3. Shape editing should be there and it should be easy.

    4. Page transitions.

    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.

  12. Currently, if you double tap Apple Pencil to switch from pen to eraser, it will swap back to pen automatically. Some users might prefer, but this is not desired in some cases. Please add a toggle to disable this.

    GoodNotes doesn’t have a favorite pen option at the moment. Is it possible that you mean the preset colors? In this case, please tap on one of the color dots in the toolbar, tap “Edit” in the upper right of the pop-up, then tap on any of the color dots you want to remove, and tap on the “remove color” button.

  14. Find a way for the app to detect user handwriting and add a Command-Find feature that allows you to lookup notes.

  16. Good notes 5 is the superior handwriting app on the app store but the only problem personally is that the dimensions are to big, a 17 page document can occupied approx 250 MB while a PDF of around 300 pages displays only a size of 100 MB approx. These feature is critical for most student that only have the 32 GB iPad version and don't have enough money to upgrade to an iPad pro or air with more storage.
    Please consider this request.

    We have submitted the update 5.4.40 for review to the App Store which should address this issue. For existing documents that appear to be too large, please export them as GoodNotes documents and reimport them. After reimporting them, they should be much smaller. If not, please contact our support team via support@goodnotes.com

  17. Instead of having to use a shape tool, allow for automatic shape correction by continuing to press at the end of the stroke (as in apple notes and notability). This would allow for quick creation of boxes, straight lines and circles without having to change tools
