  1. When sharing notes, please add a function to disable writing except by the owner who created the note. I would like a function to allow only viewing by non-owners.

  2. ~It would be better to have multiple audio recording split up, instead of having one huge line of recordings. Having them split up will give the option to pin point exactly the part of the recording you want to go back to.
    ~Improve the audio recording to go pixel by pixel so the notes are better synced together with the voice.

  3. The MX mice series from Logitech is a pretty popular device. It includes a software called Logi Option+ that allows per app specific customization of the mouse buttons. For me, it was a life saver when scrolling documents was not working for Mac. I was able to set one side button to scroll up and the other to scroll down (each button was mimicking pressing the up or down arrow key, respectively).

    Now that the issue was solved, I am using one of the side buttons for "undo". It works great during long studying sessions when I am highlighting a…

  5. This would put images in line with the new behavior of the lasso tool, so that images can move across pages by dragging just like highlighted handwriting can.

  6. When the text box is enlarged after pasting using noose function , the text box horizontal angle is slightly going up to the right side. This fuction is useful to quickly adjust the text size. Please make it straight after pasting & enlargang the copied part.

    Really thanks for your efforts.

  7. When creating a flashcard, both question and answer pages are displayed. To edit any of them, we need to tap on the edit button.
    Why not let the users directly edit them (like when notes are created) without clicking on edit button and then on the done button?

  9. While using an eraser on an existing line, the whole line gets erased. Sometimes you just want to shorten it a bit and not redraw the whole thing. Especially in machine drawings etc. Converting a drawn line into just another pen mark after it’s drawn will help a lot. Please consider it.

  10. Reseach result need to improved
    I have searched my working file with '5주' and got the result of 164 from Goodnote and only 6 from flexil.

    Goodnote shows individual word result like 5 & 주, However flexil shows the combined result of 5주 only.

    I hope goodnote improve the search function.
    Really thanks

  11. There are TONS of default fonts I will NEVER use but I have also downloaded a lot from iFont. However, I constantly have to weed through all the system fonts to get to the ones I use regularly to see which font looks best for a particular section of text.

  12. Let’s imagine you have an image of the anatomy of the ankle which has everyone bone named. It would be great if we could add a sticker on top of the name to hide it and when clicking on it in read mode it disappears to reveal the name of the bone. That would be super useful for med student and others as well.

  13. I use GoodNotes 6 every day and find it very useful and productive. However, I have some suggestions for improvement, especially regarding the use of PDF files.

    PDF Integration

    • Wider Use of PDFs: It has always been a challenge to use PDF files more extensively within GoodNotes. Enhancing this feature would be highly beneficial.

    Recent Observations

    • Circular Writing Window: Recently, while using the 13-inch iPad Pro and Apple Pencil Pro, I noticed a circular writing window created in front of the pen nib using the pen pressure function. Thank you for including this feature.

    Suggested Improvements

    • Optional Window

  14. It would be great to be able to have the opportunity to add indices and exponents to our words/letters/numbers!
    I have a bachelor's degree in biology and it would be very practical for mathematical formulas!

  15. A feature with which I can scan a written sheet of paper, for example. But then the handwriting should be recognized automatically so that I can edit it again. (Erasing, moving and so on)

  16. Dear App Development Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to suggest an enhancement for your application's search functionality. It would be highly beneficial if users could have the option to apply filters during their search, specifically to exclude certain folders from the search results. This feature would greatly improve the user experience by providing more control over the search process and ensuring that the results are more relevant to the user's needs.

    Thank you for considering my suggestion. I believe this feature would make a valuable addition to your app and look forward to seeing…

  17. Cycle through 3 (or more) tools/brush with double tap Apple Pencil.

    If you double tap, it will cycle through the last three tools (or more depending on setting choice)
    So for example:
    1. Start from from 'PEN' write something.
    2. Double tap Apple pencil and it will go to 'HIGHLIGHTER', and highlight a word.
    2. Double tap Apple pencil and it will go to 'SHAPE TOOL' and under line some text and draw a box.
    3. Double tap Apple pencil and it's back to 'PEN' and write something.

    This will prevent needing to move the pen up to the tool…

  19. One should be able to go back to the original page after clicking a hyperlink in a PDF file. This is necessary when annotating some long PDF files.

  20. Hi,
    I like Goodnotes very much, but I miss some features for my workflow as
    architect. I use Goodnotes for measurements on location.

    1. Layers
      I would like to have some layers for structuring my drawings

    2. Dottet / Dashed Lines
      … selfspeaking

    3. Forms with graphical options for lines/edges and surface
      It would be nice, if we could define line-style and surface-style
      e.g. surface: white (with options for transparency) and lines/edges
      as dashed line.

    4. More as 3 lines thicknesses in UI-Menu

    Greetings from Germany
    Tobi
