  3. After turning on Automatic synchronisation of my Goodnotes files to Dropbox, I discovered that this feature takes over an enormous amount of the HD memory, in fact if left it alone it will take over all your HD. I discovered this when I ran out of memory in my HD and discovered that the Dropbox cache was 500GB. It took me some time to figure out why I had lost this enormous amount of memory. After erasing the dropbox cache, it immediately started filling up again and in one day it was already 100GB large! At the moment it copies…

    • When I want to Ctrl+f a document, I always need to do Ctrl+f and then click on the search window with the mouse, would be easier when I could Ctrl+f and then immediately start typing (like in all other applications)
    • Same thing happens when I change font size, when typing. I am always thrown out of the current window and have to open an other one.

  10. I am using GoodNotes 5 for PDF annotation.
    I am experiencing some lag or dropped frames when scrolling. GoodNotes 4 had a smoother experience when using two fingers to zoom around.
    The dropped frames also do not happen when using the apple pencil to scroll.
    I would love to see this fixed, as it is really annoying.

  12. After creating a Text Box and adding text it is quite difficult to change the layout again. For example, the text color cannot be changed anymore unless using the lasso tool.

  15. Actually, this appears to be a bug. In Mac OS, I specifically turn off spellchecker because I am tutoring kids remotely during school shutdowns and I am teaching them how to spell. Spellchecker needs to be off. I turned it off in the system AND locally in Goodnotes. Unfortunately, every time I open a new text box and the student starts typing again, spellchecker is on again. I have to turn it off for each new text box. Help!

  18. Hello, there is a bug in version for the MacOs: 10.15.4.

    I am not able to undo anything, unless I add a textbook in the notes. That is, if I start to draw, then neither command + Z, not undo option in "Edit" do anything. If I put a text block on a page, then undo becomes available.

  19. As of now, I love the highlighting tool. I love how you can highlight in straight lines and how the highlighter automatically appears behind your writing or text, and doesn’t alter it’s colour.
    However, on all the pictures you post on your website etc, all the hand drawn diagrams are beautifully coloured in.
    THIS IS NOT REALISTIC.
    To get a uniform line, you cannot lift your pen off your screen, otherwise the highlighter’s colour « builds up » to become darker.
    This is very annoying because it makes coloring in simple shapes very difficult.
    If you go outside the lines, you have…
