  4. When I import goodnotes format to Goodnotes5, it shows an error message "OZZipException" or "GoodNotes4Converter.DocumentReader.ReaderError".

    This happened recently from Jan.23 2020. Before that, importing function worked ok (same document worked normal before but showed error recently)!

  5. If you realize that you want your handwriting in another line thickness you have no option changing it after you already wrote it. You can change the color but not the line.

  7. Using the „open in new Window“ Split Screen Mode should be enabled with just using one window, so you can duplicate your document you actual using without opening another document by unnecessary.

  8. If you have a dark background, writing with white text is usually nicer because of the contrast. However it is a nightmare to print because of all the ink wasted on printing that background.

    Please implement a feature where we can convert background and some other elements into different colours for the sake of printing hard copies. Digital files don’t work for everybody.

  9. Make a tool that converts the handwritten mathematical symbols or equations into formatted equations directly into the notebook, just like the "Ink equation" function in microsoft word for inserting formula.

  11. You can add small pages to the left and right sides of a note page, or just comments, so it's extremely convenient to flip through notes later, as well as PDF revisions. Summary: goodnote page restrictions are very serious
    可以给某个笔记页面的左右侧添加小页面,或者批注就好了,这样的话,后期来翻阅笔记,以及PDF的修订等,都变得极其方便。
    总结:goodnote页面限制非常严重

  13. 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

  16. 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.

  20. 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.
