  2. I could not find a way to add page numbers to my notebook. Is this feature already available or can it be added, including automatic page renumbering when pages are moved? Thanks

    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.

  3. Would like the ability to import fonts into the app. That way you get the font you want when typing.

    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.

  5. Sometimes you want to highlight for a purpose (follow up, to do etc.). Once you are done, you might want to undo the highlight. Would be great if a highlight is a layer that can be removed layer instead of becoming flattened onto the page.

    The eraser in GoodNotes 5 can be set to “erase highlighter only”. Tap and hold on the eraser icon in the toolbar to access these settings. Don’t forget disabling it again afterward.

  6. one type of paper that I like in other apps (and in real life) is dotted grid paper. it's like graph paper but instead of lines, there's just a dot at every intersection. example: http://www.dottedpaper.com/

  7. The ability tu subdivide and organize the documente shouldnt be so limited in an app like these, wich is meant for students and also is paid

    One sub folder is not enough when organizing modules inside courses wich compose a determined MBA or postgrade title etc, this is a must for the student and cant be much hard TO do

  8. My company uses Onedrive for Business and it would be great if Goodnotes could integrate with that. The current integration with Onedrive does not include Onedrive for Business

  9. The "UNDO" and "REDO" buttons in Goodnotes 6 have moved from the top right corner in Goodnotes 5 to the top left corner. When using UNDO, it's often necessary to see up to which step I've undone. But after moving to the top left, not only does my right hand have to move a considerable distance, but my entire hand covers the screen, making it hard to see where I've undone to. I hope the UI design can be changed back to the top right corner.

  10. Goodnotes is my weapon of choice for teaching, since I'm able to annotate and zoom right on my slides, during the presentation. Nevertheless, having to juggle two pens (laser pointer + stylus) at the same time is cumbersome and often induces me to humorous mishaps during class, which distracts the attention. I really like Apple's Keynote laser pointer. Why not make something like it!?

  11. GoodNotes is the most useful app for me as a University Student.
    However, there is this one thing that constantly makes me want to grab another app or Paper&Pen again. It is GoodNotes' appearance before entering a notebook.
    The way notebooks look and are organised is simply uninspiring, boring and extremely unhandy!
    This one very thing keeps dragging me over to Noteshelf. I like everything about GoodNotes more. But the refreshing look of noteshelf is a deal breaker for me.
    I would be extremely happy if there is any chance of you working on the apps' design.

    GoodNotes 5 adds a more modern look and feel and we hope that you like it. We also implemented many new covers and templates, so that the library view looks more exciting.

  14. Have the ability to create a task and have it show up in the Reminders app in iOS. A lot of times I take notes and need to create tasks to follow up on them. It would be nice to be able to schedule a reminder.

    This is possible thanks to drag and drop support on iOS 11 or higher. Select handwriting with the lasso tool and then drag and drop it into another app, for example, reminders. A task will be created from the recognized text.

  16. I know the original plan was to make the iPhone version read-only, but I really think editing documents should be possible.

  17. Insert or record video and post it into the notebook (makes the notebook come to life). Insert sticker to decorate and customize the notebook. Allow users to go online within the app and crop out sections they want

  20. It's very uncomfortable that I cannot use highlights in darkpaper. In apple's in-apps (notes, pages etc.) we still can use high quality and colorful highlights even if it's dark paper. Please make more useful highlights in dark paper. I cannot this app because of that problem.
