  1. Something I have noticed when typing out paragraphs, is that sometimes good notes will auto finish a word without me pressing space or tab for example and just inserts the whole word whilst I'm typing. Lets say I am writing While and start writing the first two letters, it will auto finish the word but I keep writing in the middle of the word so it becomes really weird; like this WHwhile I am doing thisILE, The capital letters is what good notes automatically wrote for me

  2. A feature that would allow users to use their own OpenAI API (ChatGPT) to interact with their notes could be helpful. GoodNotes has been rolling out the Goodnotes AI feature, but the FAQ says that you can't increase the usage quota (which is set to 30 messages). The issue with this is I consume 30 messages limit within a few hours 🙁, so I have to ultimately switch apps back and forth (GoodNotes and ChatGPT).

  3. Add the capability to use pen gestures(i.e. scribble to erase) in the zoom window. This would make writing notes in the zoom window much more convenient as you can use both the quicker gestures without changing tools and be zoomed in!

  4. I would like to request the addition of a feature in Goodnotes 6 that allows users to apply the AI-enhanced handwriting to correctly spelled words, not just the misspelled ones that are automatically corrected by the current "Spellcheck" function. The existing AI-powered writing aid significantly improves legibility while maintaining the writer's unique style, but currently activates only when a spelling mistake is made. Introducing an opt-in setting to extend this AI-enhancement to all handwritten words, regardless of their spelling accuracy, would offer users the benefit of consistently legible and polished notes, thereby enriching the overall Goodnotes 6 experience.

  6. The AI lasso tool is used to spellcheck any words you may have misspelled, but what if it could improve your handwriting. I’ve found that as I write, there are a lot of inconsistencies in my handwriting. If you could add a baseline for each character (number/letters) and lasso over any words to improve the quality of handwriting that would be so cool.

  7. When I switch from the document editor to the view of the structure, I would like to see at once the line in the structure which is equal to the page in the document, which I am about to edit.
    In the mini-page-view this works already. In the structure view of the document, I miss it.

  9. Many engineering, computer and data science, maths, and other technical degrees do a great deal of programming. I love writing all my notes in Goodnotes, but all my code snippets are all over the place. Sometimes I do try incorporate code blocks in my notes, but the process of screenshotting, cropping, and pasting is a hassle. Having a feature (even one that can be downloaded) would be a massive convenience for a lot of users. Just a basic block that can be inserted into a note that displays a filename space. The tools tab can be loaded with, say, three…

  10. 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.)

  11. I think many people here agree the app does most of what you’d expect from it, but not everything.
    In my opinion, one of the biggest drawbacks is the lack of precise, accurate document editing tools… im saying, for example:
    - Rotation and resizing; lemme expand. First of all, make them separate. i dont want to change the size of something accidentally when resizing it, or vice versa. moreover, the option to do so its very tedious to reach, everytime, as it means lassoing everything, holding, clicking resize. its not practical, and the option to not change line thickness but…

  12. I want to be able to shift a document beyond the paper’s edge. I’m not always writing at a desk, so I’ll have no hand support when I get to the edge of a page. If I could shift the page’s border towards the center of the screen, I could use the iPad as a hand brace and better utilize the whole page.

    • the duplicate function and the ability to move things through pages… you can move things through pages only with the lasso tool. So ,for example, when you duplicate something you can’t immediately move it in another page because isn’t selected with the lasso tool.
    • Typed text (function between handwriting and audio): Create a to-do list, a toggle list) (as with Notability).
    • Free text field: create squared/lined/dotted text field backgrounds (as with Notability)
    • Automatic dark mode, which, for example, automatically adjusts the font to the dark / light background (as with Notability)

  15. 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

  18. 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!

  19. I would like to be able to pin notes/docs to the tabs bar, for quicker and easier access to things that are used daily or multiple times in a day (e.g. a digital planner)

    Similar to text threads were are able to pin to the top of our chats for conversations most important to us.

    I understand there is a bookmark option, but it is not the same. :/
