  2. Hola,
    Lo primero de todo felicitarles por la app, la tengo desde hace mas de dos años, y estoy encantado. Es más me la han visto muchos clientes y la han comprado por la buena que es. Mi pregunta es, tenéis pensado implementar la grabación de audio mientras que se toma notas, sería muy práctica para después repasar las reuniones.

    Gracias de nuevo

  5. I think that the quality of hand written characters should be improved.
    when I handwriting, I get to many sharp edge at the start and end of writing. So need to automatic clean-up function.
    also the straight line should be improved automatically when the handwriting characters.

  7. Add ascending/descending nu name of date.
    After IPad was lost, I had to restore a Apple backup to a new iPad. Now the original date the notes were taken has been replaced by the date the restore took place.

    My notes all have a name that starts with YYYYMMDD. So sorting on name shouldn’t be a problem. However.... GoodNotes (4) doesn’t offer the option to switch between ascending/decending list view. I have hundreds of notes and the most recent ones are now at the bottom of the list. That’s a pain in the @ss...

  9. Due to the fact that apart from my iPad Pro I‘m still working with my iPad Air 2 I would like to see the Wacom Fineline 3. Gen. stylus supported in GoodNotes 5!

  10. Love the new white pen color. They’d be great to use on black paper templates for when writing outdoors in bright sun. The notebook cover options are great, but being to add my own artwork to notebook covers would make special.

  11. The new Goodnotes 5 on iOS has 2 toolbars + tabs, which take up a lot of space on a horizontal iPad, and above all it is too distracting. Please create an option to either morph the 2 toolbars into one or to hide one automatically (probably the top one).

  13. My goodnotes documents are extremely large because inserted photos. I would like to select photo from library and the choose size of file... like when I send an email.

    Also when I take photo to directly insert into a Goodnotes.. allow me to be able to control file size.

    Also... GoodNotes should allow me to see size of my file.

  15. I use GoodNotes App on MAC and IPad to keep my notes. However, when I need to use these two platforms at the same time, it will suffer because the syncing frequency is too low to immediately reflect what I edit on Mac on my IPad. Therefore I have to quit the app and re-open it to continue my work with Apple Pencil on iPad. Same happens on Mac when I need to insert a figure on the computer.

    I understand that it will cost a lot of energy(much more frequent request by the application to sync the current work)…

  16. Show the GoodNotes Files in the new iOS Files App as a pdf-Version to share and edit them easily with Apps like PDF-Expert.
    A two-way sync would be also nice to edit files on any devices from the Cloud and have them automatically updated in GoodNotes

  18. Is there a problem with fountain pen mode? It doesn't look like a fountain pen. It looks like a ball point pen.

    Please improve the look of the fountain pen mode. Make it look like the fountain pen in the Noteshelf app. That one looks absolutely beautiful.

  19. I attend a few conferences and constantly use Goodnotes, and get asked about it. I would love to be able to add the camera to the task bar. I miss some slides/information because of the time it takes to open the camera. Video would also be good to add. And voice recording. Then it would also be perfect for marking my students work and giving verbal feedback.

  20. When using the tv out mode it would be useful to have a set up mode where the ink does not show up on the large presentation screen.

    This would allow a teacher to create a lecture not pdf for the class to see and then have solutions already completed only visible on the iPad.

    The ink could be selectable so that it can be revealed at an appropriate time. Finally, at the end of the class the template can be reset so that all of the ink is invisible to the class again.
