  3. I would love an added dark mode option. Having darker greys and blacks could make the app look so much cleaner.

    Dark Mode is now supported in GoodNotes 5.3 for iPadOS and iOS 13. You can enable system-wide Dark Mode in the control center and GoodNotes’ design will switch to Dark Mode. We also added a set of dark paper templates that you can use when creating new documents, adding new pages, or changing existing templates. Please note that paper colors won’t be automatically changed when activating Dark Mode because backgrounds are static.

    The latest update GoodNotes 5.5 is now available on the App Store. While scrolling through your document, you can now see the current page number and the total number of pages in this document. If you don’t like to see the page numbers, you can disable it in Menu > Settings > Document Editing.

  6. Good Notes 4's shape tool was significantly better than Good Notes 5's tool. On Good Notes 5 it is almost always imperfect. Can you please add an option in the shape tool that allows for a subset of perfect shapes, like circles, squares, rectangles, etc... Another suggestion is that you could make it so that when we draw a shape using the pen tool and hold it the shape automatically snaps to a perfect shape. This would be incredibly useful for making graphs and charts that need precise lines. Not everyones hand is as steady as an artists and for…

    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, and curve drawing.

  7. I would like move pages between Nooteboks. I think would be very useful.

  9. So it is useful being able to erase with your finger, but it would be great to be able to toggle just using the apple pencil to erase to avoid accidentally erasing notes on review etc. and not noticing!

    We added an OCR document scanner to GoodNotes 5.3 on iPadOS. You can now scan documents and add them to your library in GoodNotes or to existing documents. Tap the + button in the library or in the navigation bar of an open document and select “scan”.

    the document scanner supports OCR to make typed text searchable in GoodNotes for all latin-based languages. You can read more about our latest update on goodnotes.com/ipad-os.

    GoodNotes 5 introduces the concept of folders to replace categories. You can create unlimited levels of folders and subfolders to organize your notebooks and documents.
