Nice complement to iOS version… but needs work

My primary use of GoodNotes is on my iPad mini, where it excels in handwriting recongnition AND integrated OCR capability which allows me to export notes as a PDF and view them as they were written, plus search the handwritten text.

My typical workflow is to export GoodNotes files as a PDF to archive in another app (the excellent Notebooks), and often I need to import PDF or MSWord files into GoodNotes so as to annotate them. I thought that the Mac version would be useful for these file management tasks - and indeed it does a good job of exporting PDFs that include searchable text based on OCR. But the Mac app cannot directly import MSWord files like the iOS version does (developer says this is due to a lmitation of OS X).

And as others have mentioned, iCould sync is really slow - it would be much better if via DropBox.
