  2. Thanks for this amazing search tool! There is only one problem: When I am searching within a particular PDF document, I find it a little clumsy because the window that opens containing the findings is so small. Furthermore, when I go to one of the pages found, the window disappears. But mostly I need to open a few other pages found which is quite complicated because I have to search again, remember which pages I have already opened etc. I would need the findings as a list or something, probably even in a new tab, which you can directly export…

  3. (This is not about adding a calligraphy pen itself.)
    I suggest adding a calligraphy mode, that similar to the app Over lets you type something and convert it to a nice style.
    This makes it possible to create good-looking headers easily without having to be a pro.

  4. When selecting text or highlight lines and changing the colours, only the pen color presets are available. It would be great if there was a tab to switch to the highlighter color presets.

  6. The Problem: When I'm taking notes I'm bothered by reaching the right end side of the piece of "digital" paper I'm writing on currently, because of the hight of the iPad Pro I'm taking the notes with I'm forced to move my hand off the pad to write on the right hand side of the screen.

    The possible Solution: Add an on/off toggle to make it possible to move the paper digitally out of the screen, such that for example half my piece of paper is moved out of the left side of the screen and I can place my…

  7. One note has the option to lasso a section of text and then click on a preset pen to change the text to the thickness and color of the preset pen. If I accidentally write something in the wrong thickness, I would have to rewrite it on GN which is a pain.

  12. Right now, Automatic Backups requires connecting to a Cloud Storage provider, of which only 3 are supported, and iCloud is not even one of them. However, "Backup Now" supports saving backups to an Files.app location, which supports any cloud service that is integrated with Files.app.

    What I would like to see is Automatic Backup have support for closing a location in Files.app (either local on device, or cloud service provider).

  13. If the undo operation take place in another page, I won’t be able to see it nor know what was done. Jumping to that page where undo take place will allow me to understand more about the nature of the undo.

    Moreover, jumping, wait 500ms and then perform the undo will allow me to visually see it as well.

    Redo will jump back to the page I were at.

  14. It would be nice to be able to edit the text inside a square that the colour has been filled in. What happens now is if you edit the text it removed the filled-in colour and you can't refill in the colour.

  16. In order to make notes great, I want to you to able to bring in media files including videos. Almost all university has started online programs, so I want to download those and put them into my notes to manage everything just in Goodnote5 apps.

  17. In my paper journals (and in GoodNotes) I have various shorthand icons that I draw next to text (stars, hearts, tiny houses, etc.). It would be great if I could draw these icons into an "icon gallery" and then when I draw them onto a page they would be recognized and the page would be "tagged" with the icon so that I can quickly find it again.

    And I totally get that training your recognition engine to identify arbitrary shapes is a much different beast than recognizing handwriting in general and this may not be technically feasible. But it would…

  18. the latest version of goodnotes seem to have made a little bit of change on the handwriting improvement algorithm to make the end of the writing thicker, which makes it less comfortable. Also, there is more delay of the writing. Please resume the previous algorithm.

  19. Parallel lines (for example, double underscore or even wider tabulation lines) are often merged when "too close" together, even when zooming in. In nearly all cases, I want a parallel, close line, at the distance where I start the line. Suggestion: take the distance of the starting point to the paralleled line and correct to the parallel line at this distance.

  20. 工具栏面积占比太高了,浪费屏幕显示区域,关闭了状态栏显示都还是觉得工具栏占位置过多,影响阅读及书写体验。小小建议:把工具栏缩减为一行,或者在不减少工具选项的情况下把工具栏做窄一点,个人认为没必要做得那么宽。希望能改进一下下。
