  1. Why not implement a feature where user can type a number, e.g. X in a text box, tap “add new pages” button to add X number new pages (according to template) at one go?

  2. User can pinch in and out on iPad to zoom in/out on the 12 month planner. User can import their historical planner data (from other sources) from the past decades of their life into the template (infinite free form canvas) to view the master plan of their life. The unique selling point is the digitally typed text or stylus written text in each “day” box of the planner are auto word wrap within the confines of the box border with infinite space in the “vertical depths” of each day box. User can add images, videos and links too. User can…

  3. It’s difficult to add text to the iOS app. This makes it difficult for students to study while travelling on public transport, eating at the university food court or during wait times (heavy to hold iPad up mid-air).

  4. Why not use Microsoft Notes app feature where user can tap anywhere on the page or canvas and start typing to freely “drop/appear” text on any spot of the page? Apply this principle to Cornell page layout space - leftmost column (make sure text don’t get cut off by page lines - reduce readability).

  5. After I copied 1,409 words from Bear iPadOS app and pasted into Goodnotes 6 iPadOS app, only some text are pasted. Most of it are truncated (data loss) as the pasted text only stops at the first page (current page). The Goodnotes 6 app failed to auto create new pages to cater to the pasted text. This is not a problem for all note taking apps in the iPad App Store.

  6. Why not max profits and global IQ & knowledge quantity or complexity of humans by implementing adjustable vertical border between Cornell page layout space (template) and page main body space in Goodnotes 6 iPadOS app? This allows user to take good notes without fear of running out of space. Integrate the concept of infinite free form canvas and Excel adjustable columns into Cornell page layout (template) for global note taking apps.

  7. The audio recordings and their sync with the written notes is an amazing feature that I use daily.
    An improvement that could be made is adding the ability to change inputs to bluetooth devices for the audio recordings (like external microphones or bluetooth headsets) - This would be especially helpful for people who sit in the back of a lecture hall and would allow them to place a microphone at the front and record the lecture more clearly.

  8. I only use the large eraser when I want to quickly erase a large portion of the screen. It would be great if, after I do that and select another tool, the eraser size would return to a default (which, in my case, would be the small eraser). As things stand now, I never think to reset the size. So, the next time I double-tap my Apple pencil to engage the eraser, it's still on large and I end up erasing tons of stuff I don't want to (this requires me to undo those changes and then change the eraser…

  10. I have OCD, so the only thing I ask for is the possibility to justify the paragraph when we use the text styling boxes. Goodnotes gives us 3 posibilities, to align the paragraph to the left, to align the paragraph to the right, and to indent the paragraph, so WHY NOT TO JUSTIFY IT?? So simple, people! Goodness I’m about to cry.

  12. I use the note-paper layout with lines and the side part on the left for punching. I like this layout because I am using handwriting and typewriting in one document. I would love to have this layout with squares and with a right and left side. So when I am printing double sided, the side part is always where the punching is.

  13. Maybe you can do an newer modern design for the Toolbar because it looks a little bit old. Maybe you can do a smaller minimalistic design because the Toolbar is a bit big and it take much space so if you do the Toolbar a bit smaller or minimalistic you can use more space to write.

  15. Can a feature be added to lock a PDF after it has been signed perhaps with a date/time stamp when the PDF was locked and finalized? I am in law enforcement and I use Goodnotes to have people sign department forms. It would be great if the form could be locked and stamped after it is signed to show that the form has not been altered. Thank you.

  16. I am joining the many who have requested a sticky note feature, hoping that GoodNotes will consider this request.

    I love how Goodnotes handles notebooks and flashcards so well, and I would like to be able to write sticky notes in GoodNotes. The template would be a stack of sticky notes that users "peel off" and place on other documents. Apple has something like this for their computers.

    There could be a "bulletin board" where sticky notes could be placed if they aren't being placed on other documents. The board could work like notebook paper, and users would need to…

  17. Hi! Sometimes I forget to stop the audio clip and it continues to record leaving me with so much wasted data space and unnecessary long clips that I can't edit or shorten. If we just had the feature to simply edit the audio clip, that would be AMAZING.

  18. I would like the ability to make larger font sizes.
    Currently, I view a A4 size and I double that so that I can see essentially 2 pages on one page.

    I would like the ability to make larger font sizes. Right now, the largest you can get is 200.

  19. Goodnotes lacks granular cloud backup options, limiting users' control over their data.

    Solution:

    Implement granular backup options to allow users to:

    Choose specific folders and files for backup
    Choose where the specific folders are stored withing the cloud
    Define individual backup schedules
    Exclude folders and files from backup

  20. This one is simple! Please add a feature to zoom out of a page or powerpoint slide so that we can view one slide in a smaller frame than the screen size is. I don't like how the slide automatically fits the page without being able to zoom out a little to give space to edges/corners.
