In addition to these major new features, there are a lot of under-the-hood-improvements that make GoodNotes 5 more powerful, stable, and delightful to use.
Goodnotes 5 cover code#
The new code and the new app architecture are part of our investments in the future of GoodNotes.

Core-elements of GoodNotes 5 like full-text-search across all folders wouldn’t have been possible in the old app because the code wasn’t written for it. The codebase and the new internal architecture is now significantly more flexible and solid, which allows us to build new features a lot faster in the future and support completely new use cases. We went with the latter for many good reasons.
Goodnotes 5 cover update#
When we decided that we wanted to release a new version of GoodNotes, we were facing two alternatives: Either update the existing app or rewrite the code from scratch and build a completely new app. An entirely new codebase as our investment in the future of GoodNotes You get to benefit from the directness of pen-input and the power of a computer. The Highlighter now supports the option to “Always draw a straight line”.

We found that people often use the Highlighter tool to highlight sentences in a PDF or an ebook. Shapes can now automatically get a semitransparent filling with a selected color if you activate the option in the Shape Tool settings. A line that is drawn close to another line with the Shape Tool, will now snap to the other line. Line snapping allows drawing multi-stroke shapes. The Shape Tool receives its designated spot in the toolbar and gets two improvements: Color filling and line snapping. So we thought about how we could improve this feature in the new version of GoodNotes. The abilities to draw perfect shapes and make lines straight became indispensable in any proper digital note-taking app. New Shape Tool - Fill Shapes And Make Lines Snap Much faster and more conveniently than ever before. Of course, you can still customize your template library. We’ve collaborated with some talented designers and asked them to design sets of notebook covers, exclusively for GoodNotes 5. We wanted to go the extra mile and design sets that are truly unique and outstanding. Notebook covers allow you to easily distinguish one notebook from another. You can choose between landscape and portrait orientation to match your personal preference. We added papers for (almost) every situation: An expanded essential paper selection with all common standardized sizes, as well as device-specific templates, monthly planners, Cornell note paper, dotted paper, legal pad paper, checklists, and much more. In GoodNotes 5, you can make use of an even larger template library than the one you knew from GoodNotes 4. When you first open the new app, you’ll notice three tabs at the bottom of the screen: Documents View, Search View, and Favourites View. Long story short, we’re happy to give you an introduction to what we’ve been working on for the past 2 1/2 years: Search Across All Documents, Folders, Favorites, & Vertical Scrolling The fresh, modern design is rounding the new app off and makes sure that it is much easier and more delightful to use than ever before.

While implementing all these improvements, we made sure to preserve the unique characteristics of GoodNotes and its clean, minimalistic look. Search across the whole library, vertical scrolling and the addition of folders are only some of the new features that we added to GoodNotes 5. We took everything that made GoodNotes 4 great and brought it to the next level. Today, we’re excited to announce the release of GoodNotes 5.Ī modern GoodNotes version with tons of new features and improvements is now available on the App Store and marks our biggest release ever.
