  2. would be great to have a built-in cloud storage for all the notes, no need to rely on iCloud
    given that goodnotes 5 on iOS has an insanely powerful global search function, it would be convenient to have it's own cloud that allows you to search for the exact note

  3. In GoodNotes 5, the ink in the fountain pen is too sensitive. More pressure makes the line much thicker than in version 4. And less pressure makes the line much thinner than in version 4. In version 4, the range of the ink thickness was much narrower. I would use ballpoint pen mode but that has no pressure sensitivity at all. Essentially I would love some option for a little pressure sensitivity but not too much. Can you please make that happen? In the meantime I will keep using version 4. Thank you!

  6. I am still using the Goodnotes 4 app because the pen thickness options are much better. In 5, the ball pen is either too thin, the smallest option, or too thick, the middle option and higher. None of the present options feel natural. In Goodnotes 4, I use the 3rd weight (2nd thickest) and there is no direct equivalent in 5. The variations between thicknesses in 5 is too great.

  7. a multicoloured pen, like varying colour in just one pen. sparkle pens will be awesome too. it will really great for us students who like to have a little bit of creativity and fun with their notes. As you write, the colour changes according to a gradient, eg found in onenote

  8. It is important to record hand written notes and the order the where taken in. For example when writing math notes, you can be working on a problem and write all around it with note or cross something due to elimination process of the problem. When reviewing the notes later on it can easily be confusing when the original problem has been marked up. That’s where stroke recording can come in handy. You can watch your process replay in front of you and see your own problem solving process. This is very important especially for students and STEM field workers

  10. There are times where I’ve lasso’d a diagram that I’ve drawn or handwriting and I’d like to drag it to the next page but it won’t let you. You have to copy, paste and delete to get the same result

  11. You draw lines / insert pictures / etc. and then block further editing of those, so you can write and edit the text / notes within the blocked lines e.g.
    - writing within a grid without having to pay attention to changing the grid
    - writing headlines when brainstorming, and only changing the content of the set areas

  13. I have a brain injury that makes reading extremely laborious and stops me cold after a minute or so. I have a need to “read” and annotate PDF docs, but don’t want to use a different app to speak the text and GoodNotes to annotate. It’s too unwieldy even with multitasking windows because the text does not sync.

  17. nice to meet.

    I am using Good Note very well. There is a bug in ScrollView that works when converting fonts on iPhone X.
    Please refer to the video.

    Please contact us once it is confirmed.

  18. I found GoodNotes to be very versatile even for doing wireframes for mobile design. Although with the ever changing sizes, it would be great if we can customize the size.
    GoodNotes is also the most smooth note writing app I’ve used. It would be great to have an option for unlimited canvas so I can use it for larger brain storming sessions.

  20. Agnostic OCR, whatever languages

    When make a notes, usually I pick the words that I have them the most easier to remember, in whatever languages.
    As an Indonesian people, sometimes i use English, Indonesian, or even local language, whichever diction that the easiest for my brain to remember.
    Maybe OCR per character would be able to implemented that, although not sure about mathematical equations which needed some symbols.

    Thank you.
