  2. My PDF software (provided by my employer, I don't have a choice to not use it) cannot parse a JPG2000 file (photos taken WITHIN GoodNotes are saved as JPG2000.... if I take a picture with my ipad camera, SOMETIMES, GN will parse this as a regular JPG... but usually it does not.

    This is really frustrating when I export to PDF to share with others in my workgroup, and they cannot see the photograph that I carefully annotated to explain the thing we are working with...

  5. On mac version of goodnotes 5 - the highlighter is set to freehand. A highlighter with a straight line would be much better

  11. Coming from Notability, I feel the strong lack of the function that allows you to draw straight lines automatically by holding the Apple Pencil on the sheet for a moment longer, without having to select the lines tool each time and then return to the pen tool.

    We’re happy to announce that the update 5.6.0 that we released today adds an improved shape recognition including the option to hold at the end of a line to make a perfect shape, shape selection & editing, and curve drawing. It further improves the recognition of circles and squares and adds back the ability to draw shapes with the highlighter.

  12. In GoodNotes 4 there is an option to Hide User Interface when using AirPlay that seems to be missing in GoodNotes 5. Is that feature going to be added back in?

  13. Being able to use the highlighter on a dark planner or note page would be great.
    Now the highlight is so opaque you can barely see it.

  14. Exporting multiple pages as an "Image File" currently results in a .Zip File being created. Would it be possible to export multiple pages as an "Image File" and have it truly be multiple images, not in a .Zip File.

  18. It would be great to be able to completely get rid of a cover in an existing notebook. I know you can change them, but it doesn't seem possible to remove them.

  20. I would love to be able to access my notes later on from desktop or web, in case I don't have my ipad or can't get enough screen real estate to easily review them on my phone.
