  1. The typing function of this app is nearly unusable. There are too many flaws to list, but the most frustrating is that when typing, lines do not automatically carry over to the next page, and when selecting the "Add Page to Carry Over" button, the following page is often formatted differently and/or missing lines. Additionally, pasting from a different GoodNotes document with the same format results in missing or "hidden" lines of text. This is a premium priced note taking app with many (useless) features, paying users expect basic functions to perform properly. I switched from Notability for reasons less…

  2. Sometimes we users forget to stop the audio recording, and wake up the next day to a notebook that has been recording for 12+ hours. Currently there is no way to trim the audio recording. It would be great if it were possible to trim it so only the part we're interested in remains in the notebook :D

  4. It's just annoying to have to scroll with the mouse on windows. I don't have a touch screen, at least add the option to hold the spacebar and drag the page like every other app. I love good notes but not having this is just like making my money not worth it. I pay for goodnotes but have to struggle every 15 seconds to rearange the page with the scroll sliders that disapear after 2 seconds.

  6. It is difficult to write in corners of a page while resting your hand on the screen. The ability to rearrange the page to a position where the corner of the page is near the center of the screen would improve user accessibility and comfort while writing.

  7. I would like to be able to lock my horizontal position as I scroll vertically along a page. If I am trying to edit a document and zoom in very close to a blank section, it is difficult to determine whether my page is moving horizontally during my vertical scrolls. A lock button to prevent horizontal scrolling or vertical scrolling in some applications of goodnotes would be helpful in having peace of mind while scrolling in a relatively blank area of a document.

  8. I can't edit the iPad notes on the Windows PC because GoodNotes Windows doesn't sync with iOS.

    Maybe it's possible to implement a system where users can sync their notes between GoodNotes client using other cloud storage platforms (OneDrive, GDrive etc.)

  13. Goodnotes autoformats email addresses to links whether I want it to or not, and it displays links with dotted underlines. When I export a file to an image, it's not going to preserve the link (it's an image) but the ugly dotted underline is still there. Going through the links one by one and declaring them to be non-links is extremely tedious. Please, return to the clean default text formatting when exporting!

  15. Responsiveness, sleekness, simplicity, is what goodnotes is know for please keep that as highest priority. It’s starting to feel very choppy after each update, friendof mine has Goodnotes 5 currently, in comparison there seems to be a big Fps or Responsive Gab, please fix priorities and not just add irrelevance for such experience.

  16. Hi Goodnotes community,
    I would like to ask if could be possible to add an extension of lasso tool, that I would refer to as a "Lasso linker". I think this would be certainly helpful for note taking of STEM subjects, but I'm pretty confident other people would benefit of this tool as well. The way I intend for this tool to work is simply by selecting the "Lasso linker" from the toolbar and then one would just need to select the first and second item in order to create an internal link between the two items (or an internal…

  17. Hey, it would be really nice and helpful to add Bulgarian as recognised language. I see that Russian is available which also uses the Cyrillic alphabet, hopefully Bulgarian will be available soon too!

  18. Dear Developers and Desginers,

    I would love to be able to insert text in between lines already drawn. Otherwise I have to manually move text and try to insert the rest, IF there is space on the page.

    I understand that enabling this feature might mess up pages. Well, I would suggest to try to use AI to solve this problem.

    Or you might enable the feature while warning the user that the pages might get messed up. To do this you have to treat different pages as if they were one infinite page, I know... So, I suggest that…

  20. In GoodNotes 6, it would be nice if you could arrange the folders and notebooks freely in ‘Documents’ by order and not just by date, type and title.
    Many thanks, if that would be possible
