  5. I tried searching for (as a specific example) “3919” (without quotes) when looking for a note I had hand written with the text “003919” (again without quotes).

    Search didn’t find it until I searched very specifically for “0039” (no quotes).

    It would be great if you could enable search of a string within words / text.

    Incidentally, searching “003919” also gave zero results.

  6. If I flip through from bookmarked page to the next page, There is not the next bookmarked page, But the next page among the whole page.

  9. Ok, we can now scroll like a normal notebook, how about being able to do that, but adding a page above, or below an existing page. Kind of like a mind map. If you have a note with something specific, you can add something specific below (or above) a note

  10. it ist great that now it is possible to backup our files with for example google drive/one drive.

    But it were much better if we could sync the Backup folder with goodnotes.
    Thus we get much easier and faster import from the computer

  12. It would be helpful if when vertically scrolling through documents it does not move side to side. This is very frustrating when trying to review and highlight numerous documents.

    This usually happens when there is at least one page in the document that either has a different orientation (landscape) or is larger than the pages you’re currently looking at. Please try locating this page and remove it if possible to avoid the problem. We’ll see what we can do to handle page scrolling better in cases like this.

  14. During my studies i use GoodNotes 5 every day and i love it.
    But in some lectures we uses some symbols and characters often. And therefor is my idea.
    Is there a possibility to creat an own library for often uses symbols?
    That i only have to draw them once and save them in „my own symbols library“?
    For example the summation sign (∑), or the drawing of electrical schematics with resistors, capacitors etc.

  15. Saving past edits/versions like Google Drive does.

    Recently, things I wrote in GoodNotes have randomly disappeared, and they would only sometimes reappear. It's fine if they disappear when I know exactly what I wrote, but if it's something I copied from another part of a document or from another document altogether, and it randomly disappears, then it becomes a problem. A possible solution would be the ability to access past versions (like Google Drive) to retrieve what I copied/cut.

  16. Go from 3 to 5 standard pre-set pen weights. I find the jumps between the 3 weights you offer too big and my perfect weight would be between your thinnest and middle one. I suggest to mimic the 5 pen weights Apple offers in the IOS Notes pen integration.

  17. Some apps (such as TimeZero navigation s'ware) have an in-app configuration option that allows the app to keep the iPad screen active, even without user activity. I think GN needs this feature.

    I often transcribe from my GoodNotes, with the iPad propped up in front of my desktop computer screen (my hand writing is too rough for auto-text conversion and sometimes I write in a private shorthand).

    It's so annoying when the screen keeps going black and I have to wake it up again. And it's a nuisance to have to drop into iPad settings, find Brightness/Display, and defeat the…

  20. On computer app, when you press the thumbnails page, it doesn't open to your current slide and display that prominently. I have to scroll and look for what slide I was just studying from / annotating. If this could be fixed and displayed more clearly, it would be very helpful.
