  5. It would be great to be able to completely get rid of a cover in an existing notebook. I know you can change them, but it doesn't seem possible to remove them.

  6. I would love to be able to access my notes later on from desktop or web, in case I don't have my ipad or can't get enough screen real estate to easily review them on my phone.

  7. Currently, I can only add pictures from the Photos app. It would be awesome if I could add images from Dropbox, iCloud, or any other remote storage system.

    To add images from other sources, tap on the image tool in the toolbar and then tap anywhere on the page. This will bring up the image picker and at the bottom of the pop-up, you’ll see the option to “Insert from…”. This will enable you to choose from other sources.

  8. I have painstakingly imported each individual files into their respective folders in GoodNotes.

    I would like the option to sync or import full folders from Google Drive to prevent this time consuming process.

  9. Allow for editing handwriting (moving to different locations, deleting..) in Mac App or deleting pages in a handwritten document. Usefulness is like 50% without these features.

  11. The Logitech crayon works on the app, however the pens are basically all the same, the maximum thickness is different to when using drawing with your finger of an apple crayon as I suppose it isn’t fully compatible with the crayon yet.

  13. 1st hour migrating from Notability. But, in Goodnotes you can't snap to zoom the page to full width. Also, when you flip the ipad into landscape orientation it would be great for full with to be maintained. Maybe a button to zoom to full page or page width... would be great. Please :-)

  14. Give us Mac users some way to view or edit GoodNotes 5 files. I am thinking of uninstalling GoodNotes and reverting back to Notability. I have seen market-leading companies fail because they killed core products before they had a replacement... not an idle claim: I have IPO's on three stock exchanges under my belt.

  15. I have gone all over this website looking for a place where I can post a technical problem and let you know a suggested work around for images in PDF files doesn't exactly work. It pretty much sucks when you don't give some contact information for posting complaints so I am posting here.

    Here's my observation. I periodically archive a working log book to dropbox that includes image files. There was no problem with the images that were imported in Goodnotes 4. You acknowledge there have been problems having to do with the Jpg file that is used for images…

  16. I would wish to have the same function like in GoodNotes 4 to save my backup file in an external app.

    There might be a problem at the moment with the backup function, because I became an error pop up with the message "ZIPFoundation.Archive.ArchiveError-Fehler 4".

  18. This way you can label pages within the notebook with certain names (not always written ON the page, necessarily). A table of content view of these title pages would help too.

  19. Please release Goodnotes Mac at other regions as well.
    Or perhaps have a web version for the user to view, download and maybe even edit their document.

  20. When I'm taking notes, I like to check my digital book. I would like to have 2 documents side-by-side and in a way I can edit them separately but seeing both same time.

    We’re excited to announce that we have completed this feature. It is now available in the update GoodNotes 5.3 for iPadOS (13.1).

    With the update, we added full support for iPadOS’ multiple windows. It lets you do much more than viewing two documents side by side. To read everything you need to know about opening multiple documents, please visit goodnotes.com/ipad-os.

    How to open a new window:

    You can now open GoodNotes in multiple windows to view two documents side by side, view two pages of the same document in Split View, or pair it with other apps in spaces across your entire system. To open a new window, drag any of the elements listed below to the side of your screen:

    - the app icon from the dock
    - documents from the library
    - folders from the library
    - individual pages from the document thumbnail view
    - tabs from the…
