  1. A Support Line would be great you guys don’t offer much customer service. Tickets that no one’s seems to respond to doesn’t help at all. You guys can’t provide an amazing app and then disrespect the people who use it by not supporting then through programming issues and the everyday tech support that everyone NEEDS!

  2. After using a particular font, I like to have a selection and re-use some of my fonts. However, after clicking on the recently used font, nothing happens. I have to search for the font again. Then whey put such a feature of recently used fonts when it is not functioning.

  3. Goodnotes 5 had list view for files and folders but Goodnotes 6 does not. I am in school and need to label my files with class information for quick reference but this makes the file names too long to be able to see the entire thing. Please add this feature for ease of use.

  4. Make the search feature to highlights the words that we’re searching so that it is easy to find some words in a pdf/book, it is a normal function in other apps but it is not included in goodnotes.

    Also make the search feature faster.

  7. EDITED: Keeping this on here, just in case anyone else has the issue...I figured it out :)

    On my iPad, I can single finger scroll left/right and go through all of the cover/page options. I just realized that I can two finger scroll on my Air, mimicking the action from the iPad. Sorry about that!

    Not sure if this is an idea or just a question but I am to finding a solution. I use a MacBook Air (2020 on Sonoma) and iPad 9 (on OS 17.4.1). These are my life connections and I have all things syncing with iCloud…

  8. Be able to see which email you're using!! Trying to sign into goodnotes online, but it's impossible to find which email i'm using on my iPad. Have found many other people with a similar issue online.

    1. Make the flashcards more like Anki, where it allows you to choose your own spaced repetition based on your ability to recall the cards. Instead of just having right for good and left for bad.
    2. Ability to turn notes into flashcards immediately like RemNote.
    3. Make a feature that shows all the data of how well a flashcard is recalled.

  10. Please improve the overflow text feature. Right now, if I add text to an existing page and it reaches the end, I have to add a new page for overflow each time. It should be possible to overflow to the next existing page automatically. Also, I do not see the overflow text until I add a page, so what I have written can easily be lost if I am not paying close attention. I have to backspace until the writing reappears, or add a new page- but not seeing a paragraph I have written is very stressful. It also breaks…

  11. 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.

  13. Hi,

    I use GoodNotes to complete two pages of tasks I have to grade during instruction. It would be great to have a virtual fold function so the labels were next to the grade column I'm working on.

    Thanks!
    Have a great day!

  15. I suggest you to absolutely add more settings for the new feature of typing mode, which allows users to write with pen and keyboard in the same page and in a better way.
    But I think you should allow users to change font, space between lines, change font dimension, ecc., just like is already possible in text box!.

    Please do it for us, I think it will be great making your app more and more complete and competitive, without doubt.

  16. There are notifications inside the Goodnotes app which tell you when the app thinks it is time for you to review your study sets. I would like these notifications to trigger push notifications outside of the app, on my iPhone Lock Screen and in the Notification Centre.

  17. In academia we usually have to read a lot and with that comes a necessity to organize and keep track of citations, I know that there are aps for that but I like the idea of using goodnotes highlight when reading, as it keeps the document clearer

  18. More pens options. More things so I can color documents. Also a fix so it doesn’t erase all my work when using a pen

  19. Pls: The New Folder Icons are WAY too big, cartoonish, and colours look GARISH!!

    Please make more colour options available, to make them look at least less CHAOTIC! ( Colour wheel / Colour picker)
    Changing the size of the Folders when in Gallery mode, would be VERY HELPFUL, indeed.. Or Better: Change the folder SYMBOLS in general..
    ( Presets or possibiltity of self-made symbols would be cool) But definetely let us decrease the size.. ( Maybe with a simple slider, +/- sign at the bottom or simply by PINCHING our fingers)
