  1. Two dots on the dotted paper templates are a little over 1.1 cm apart on the ruler. It would be great for drawing graphs if they are 1 cm apart, so the templates fit the ruler. The same issue applies to the squared paper.

  3. We would really like to make a sticky notes that moves with the text in it . The sticky note available now only lets you to write over it, but when you want to move it , only the sticker will move, or you should select all the text which may take the text under it also. So it is better to have like a really sticky note

  4. Bring back the bookmark button please. Or make it so we can edit the toolbar to add it back. The record feature is useless to me so I want the bookmark button back where it was.

  6. A pencil tool would be great for sketching and markups… many of us love that traditional look and it’d compliment the look of our notes, especially for scientific or mathematical diagrams.

  7. I love the new audio recording feature but find a few issues with it and potential improvements.
    1. Once you’ve recorded, to play a recording it plays the first ever recording and you need to find the spot for your latest one. I think it would be more logical to automatically play the latest recording, especially for people with large notebooks who don’t want to skip through hundreds of previous audio recordings.
    2. Be able to rename audio recordings or have GoodNotes use AI to rename the audio recordings (name it the title of the page, or do like voice…

  9. Why are there just 9 colors for the folders and not Infinite numbers of colors as it is for the normal papers in Goodnotes 6.
    It’s very difficult to keep the folders separate by itself you should add this feature.

  10. When I type too much text and it goes beyond the bottom of the page, the overflow text doesn't automatically get added to the next page - I need to manually add it.

    Could you make it so that when the text goes beyond the bottom of the page, it gets automatically added to the next page to prevent the need for manual intervention?

    This would allow for a smoother and faster note-taking experience.

  11. I use Goodnotes for all of my graduate studies. Part of this includes labeling anatomical structures, and I wish there were an easy way to white-out labels to study and practice. There is a feature on KiloNotes that allows this and would love for it to be featured here! I’m sure all my fellow healthcare students would agree. I would seriously consider switching from the sheer amount of time saved.

  12. Let us being able to add LaTeX expressions as a TEXT input.
    You can either render it using mathjax, katex, ...

    Reason :
    The recognition gets really confused and is pretty much unusable for serious mathematics ( people who study mathematics ) : integrals, sets with subscripts, norms, ...

  13. I created this good notes account just for the purpose of 2 page viewing. we need to be able to have both open on screen at the same time. Aallow us to be in one window-> one pdf->able to have 2 pages (ex. page 3 and 4, then swipe right to left and we see pages 5 and 6...) showing, in landscape view, at the exact same time, same like reading a book. It is very critical feature. It is NOT same as split screen feature. Example is shown in the picture

  15. Would be great if you could re-organize the toolbar or tool ribbon at the top of the page. I use the zoom window the most, but it's all the way on the right so I have to swipe on the toolbar with my finger to get to it. it would be great if I (or you) could put it right next to the pen tool.

  16. Custom folder colors! I’m happy to have different colors to pick from, but I would love to use a color wheel for more colors like orange or different shades!

  17. I use a different app (speechify) to read off pdfs, etc to me. It works really well and helps me get through readings in in uni I would struggle with other wise. However, I much prefer to highlight my readings, etc as a doc in goodnotes. I think such a feature would be immensely helpful for college students in good notes.

  19. Text formatting

    • (Some) Markdown support -- including the extended syntax
      • TeX and LaTeX support (like $\TeX or \LaTeX$)
      • Inline code and code blocks -- I'm not expecting syntax highlighting due to security reasons
      • Links
      • Footnotes [^*]

    Styling initial paragraphs

    Most of the time, I style the first sentence of my document as Paragraph, not as Heading.

    With the current unresponsive UI when using on macOS, I have to click Style & Formatting and change the style every single time. It would be great if the app could let me set my styling preference for new documents.

  20. Lock function is required

    When I memorize and exercise, I want to rewrite the content on the page after finishing work.
    In this case, lock function is required so that previously made part can not be erased.

    Entire page deleting function is required after rewriting.

    Thanks
