  1. 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)!

  2. 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.

  3. Please add a “paste in place” option to the pop up that appears when you press and hold on a page. I would like to copy one or more elements from a page and then paste in the same position on a new page.

    I use GN as a planner (on my iPad) and frequently tweak and then reuse layouts I like. This would make quicker work of it.

  4. 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.

  5. Sometimes I want to add to a page and using the pen setting matching the existing writings. (For example, to use the same pen thickness, color, style).

    I wonder if a new tool can be added to recognize pen settings from selection.

    Thanks!

  6. 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.

  8. GoodNotes 5 has adopted the use of very small thumbnails, which almost obviates the intent of being able to easily select a relevant page.

  9. 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

  10. Add a way to swap white text with black text when exporting a dark background notebook. That way it can be printed.

  11. Hallo :)

    ich fände es schön, wenn man den Seitenhintergrund von mehreren Seiten gleichzeitig wechseln kann, da dies handisch sehr mühsam ist und bei mehr als 20 Seiten super lange dauert! z.B wenn man ein neues Seitenformat benötigt.

    Außerdem wäre es cool, wenn man kleine Tabellen einfügen kann.

    Freundlich Grüße

  12. 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

  13. I frequently think of things I want to add to a long note later. The options at present are: 1) try to cram an extra bit of writing above previous notes (like using a physical notebook); or 2) select everything you want to move with the lasso tool and move it downwards (difficult with a long note, and a bit of a hassle too)

    If you could somehow pinch to add more space that would be quick and awesome, You could have as many extra thoughts as you like, and it wouldn't be a hassle to add them in.

  14. It could be very useful to have the possibility to forward or send a document via mail directly to a personal Goodnotes mail account without saving it in PDF and importing to the app.

  15. when I tap the lasso tool, I would love that there will be an option in the menu for shapes created by shape tool, just like those options for handwriting, images, text boxes.

    For instance. Sometimes I might write on color-filled shapes. I would lasso it if I need to move it, but it would be impossible to move the handwriting without the shape along with it, because the shape was color-filled and I wrote on it.
