1. Windows and dropbox support

   Hi I currently use an iOS app (Notebooks: writer) and am looking at your app as a replacement. It has many features that I like including folder/subfolder support. But there are two features that I need. Dropbox sync and Windows support, at least be able to read notes from Goodnotes on a Windows browser. From what I see these don’t seem to be provided, but would be happy if you could advise otherwise. Cheers Anton

3. OCR image to text converter for searches

   Either code your own or employ a OCR image to text converter. As a student, a lot of the content of my notes are pictures of diagrams or other tables with text. The text on these photos aren’t recognized by the search function but this would be greatly beneficial for being able to find the notes that I need.

4. File explorer pane

   Hi! I'm big fun of GoodNotes5 using everyday!

   Summery

   I want to suggest to implement new function.
   It's file explorer pane like VSCode.

   Why I suggest this.

   When I edit lots of files, it's difficult to move to other file quickly. If there is File Explorer Pane on the left side like IDEs, it's easier to move to other file.
   Regards.

5. ruler or improved shape tool for perfect sketches and diagrams

   in order to create perfect technical drawings, you need an improved shape tool and a ruler (like apple notes). It would even be best if you could edit them afterwards without having to remove them. Then it would be the perfect app.

6. Top bottom split view

   Could you add a top bottom split view similar to left right split view. This would be a great functionality to have for taking notes. This functionality is already available in other apps such as Notes Writer. It is a great help to have a top and bottom split, specially if you are using smaller iPad such as IPad Air or Mini which do not have large display to compare full page side by side. In top bottom split view we can look at PDF/ Book on top view and take down notes in lower screen.

7. Tab Sets

   This is a feature request for some way of grouping and then loading documents as a set of tabs.

   I have a bunch of PDFs, which I use for a number of different projects. If I'm working on a piece of software, it's valuable to have various manuals open (with or without notes). If I'm prepping for a week's worth of teaching, it's nice to have all of that week's materials laid out in tabs: slides, lecture notes, the readings for the week, etc. In most cases, I end up also loading up a GoodNotes notebook for sketches, notes, etc.

   The use case I'd like to have is the ability to save tab sets (or tab collections, or tab groups, or whatever name doesn't collide with what's already got in the UI). At simplest, I'd want to do three things:

   • save a set of tabs with a label
   • load a set of tabs with a label
   • inspect saved tab sets

   For saving a set of tabs with a label I'd like to be able to save the current tab set (preserving tab ordering for the tabs, and doc position for the documents so I can pick up where I left off) with a label. I expect I wouldn't need to store sets of more than, say, ten tabs (anything more and I believe I'd no longer be able to deal with the complexity). I expect I could easily handle editing tab sets by manipulating tabs in the UI and re-saving to a label.

   For loading sets of tabs with a label, I'd like a list of labels. Selecting a label would load in the label's tabs. As this would be a focusing tool, I'd want the option to have the loading action clear all the other tabs (and maybe put them in a preset label so I could get them back if I hadn't meant to do that).

   For inspect saved tab sets, I'd like to be able to see what document tabs are included with each label, and what state they're in (maybe just a thumbnail?). This could be read-only (editing might be nice, but I mostly want to be able to remind myself of what's going on in a tab set).

   This would be useful to me as I move from project to project: move to a different project, and all the documents I need are available, and easy to pick up again. I'd guess that this would also make GoodNotes an enormously useful tool for students, moving from class to class, or project managers, moving from meeting to meeting.

   This is a feature request for some way of grouping and then loading documents as a set of tabs.

8. Undo history

   Please can you add “view action history” and allowing us to undo function please.
   I find it so frustrating when I can only redo a limited number of times, yet my previous notes have been accidental deleted.

   To make it clear, I meant that I have accidentally make new notes on my previous document and deleted something that I previously had in the same document. And I couldn’t recover what I have in the same old document. The “undo” function the app provided is not rally user-friendly... :( and I find it disappointing... I hope that you may improve more functions in this app asap

9. Move photos across page boundaries

   I would love to have the ability to move a photo across page boundaries (especially in continuous vertical scroll mode) so that one doesn't have to lasso, copy, paste to move the photo to the next or previous page.

11. Not an idea actually, but complaints and requests

    I am sure I'm not the only one who have asked for this in the past, but I will ask for it once again (not hoping for much though, since 2 years passed since I first asked for it -others too as I said- and nothing has been done).

    ADD NEW PENS! This is handwriting note taking app! Pens have been the same since GN4! Oh, don't tell me that the "brush pen" you added in the horrible GN5 is an addition! It does nothing! How about looking at other note taking apps to see the variety of pens they offer? I have been using GN4 for about 5 years so far (GN5 has a loooong way to go till it becomes barely good -I will complain about it below) and no progress has been done on this. Give your loyal customers pens! Give them variety! Going paperless needs more pens! We do so many things with GN and we have to still stick to only two pens???

    Now, let's go to complaints (gee, where to start from?)

    No, ladies and gentlemen, GN5 has NOT been an upgrade! You said "you started from scratch" to build GN5. Why??? What was so bad about GN4 that you had to dump it and start from scratch?

    So many months after its release, GN5 lacks basic things: writing is not at all as smooth as in GN4, it is actually worse (!!!), and in the zoom window the app does not have the necessary tools that GN4 had. Till the moment I'm writing all these (Nov 18, 2019), there must have been about 7 or 8 months since GN5 was released. Too much time has passed and the two things I mentioned a few lines above (not smooth writing and no tools in the zoom window) are still not where they're supposed to be. Especially smooth writing, one of the things I loved in GN4 from the start and still do while I'm using it, is absent in GN5. Are you even trying the app yourselves? Are you listening to us?

    It it the first time I am talking like this, but you people made me furious with GN5! I've been using various apps all these years in my iPads and never have I rated one of them with 1 star in the AppStore. Never, till GN5 got released. On the contrary, I gave GN4 four stars from the first time I downloaded and then bought it. Never regretted buying GN4 and still consider it one of the top note taking apps.

    I am a maths teacher and make too much use of my iPad and GN4. I have invested too much time working with them, but GN5 failed me big time! What good does it for me to have better app colors and folders and a laser point in GN5, if writing in GN5 is so bad and the app makes my life hard by not giving me in the zoom window what GN4 gave me from the start? Yes, I liked the new feature you added to the laser point, but it's not my No1 tool. GN5 lacks basic tools to make my life easy.

    Concluding:

    1. Add more pens! Add more pens! Add more pens!
    2. Make writing in GN5 as smooth as in GN4! Writing in GN5 with the Apple Pencil is way worse than in GN4! GN4 is still much better than GN5!
    3. Add the necessary tools in the zoom window! We write at the bottom and have to send our hand all the time to the top to erase, to change color, to undo! Is this an upgrade?
    4. Live up to the reputation you made with GN4! GN4 still kicks ass! GN5 not!

    Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express my complaints and some basic requests.

    I am sure I'm not the only one who have asked for this in the past, but I will ask for it once again (not hoping for much though, since 2 years passed since I first asked for it -others too as I said- and nothing has been done).

    needs more information  ·  AdminGoodnotes (Moderator, GoodNotes) responded

    We’re sorry to hear about the negative experiences you have with GoodNotes 5 and are thankful that you took the time to write such lengthy and detailed feedback.
    We’re optimizing the ink algorithm continuously and haven’t heard many complaints about the smoothness in recent times so we’d like to take a closer look at your case. Would you be able to share a comparison video of how it looks like when you write in GoodNotes 4 vs GoodNotes 5 to support@goodnotes.com? That will be very helpful for us. Please refer to this review, so that we know it is you.

14. Auto-deselect highlighter please

    Like for the eraser, please add the option to deselect highlighter. The main purpose of this app is for annotating with pen, not simply highlighting. Like the eraser, it’s frustrating having to tap the pen every time I finished highlighting.

    Like for reading a long book, after highlighting a good quote I want to be able to go back and annotate straight away.

    This small addition would be very helpful.

15. Reduce ApplePencil latency

    Considering the high refresh rate of the iPads display, there must be a was to reduce the latency of the Pencil, especially when drawing long lines quickly. Just take a look at Apple's Notes App. There is almost 0 lag, no matter how fast you dran of write.

17. Change Canvas Size of Imported Pages
