  1. When I am using the new feature audio recordings, I have to write over my work with a pen in order to see what I am referring to on the video. It would be nice to be able to use the existing laser pointer in the video and for it to come through on the video when I watch it later in time.

  3. Hi,

    Study set is a great fonctionality.
    I would love to use it to learn new languages.

    Currently, I am forced to write in question the word I would like to learn, in answer the answer in my native and do an other card with as question the word in native and as answer the word I want to learn.

    It is time consuming. Can it be a part of Study Set to be able to revert and learn it as well ?

    Thank you.

  4. It would be nice to edit drawn lines (line weight, pen type, line type) in addition to color.

    I often have to delete a line and redraw it if I need a more bold line.

  5. Display the thumbnails of the pages of the pdf of the left hand side on iPad. Like the Preview app. It would allow for easier page changes and going back and forth between pages.

  6. When I airdrop a Goodnotes 6 file or page to someone using GoodNotes 5, it crashes down and the folder to which the page has been added can‘t be opened any more. Especially at school this is a big problem - all our pupils use GoodNotes 5, some teacher use Goodnotes 6. And now I can only airdrop pdf files, which does not allow the children to move around bits of text. Please make the two versions compatible.

  7. Eu reparei que vocês tem um modelo de educação interativa para alguns vestibulares na plataforma de vocês. Procurei por provas como o Enem ou a Fuvest, mas infelizmente não encontrei. Gostaria de pedir para vocês implementarem exercícios para esses testes Brasileiros que são bastante populares! Mesmo que não fosse gratuito como os outros eu pagaria para ter acesso!

  8. Goodnotes 5 has been superb as a notetaking app. Goodnotes 6 is following the path of other apps to add features, change structures and increase file sizes with cosmetic changes that don’t improve efficiency or effectiveness. Microsoft OneNote has many features and much of what Goodnotes 6 offers. The extra features don’t improve navigation or effectiveness and make the app clunky. Rather than have one app that must DO everything, if you want to add features, create two. One that is great for notetaking and one that adds the frills, takes extra space and add “glitter”

    Goodnotes has been superb…

  9. Flashcards Zoom

    There are already a couple of hands full entries to the same subject “Zoom function” with Flashcards.

    Unfortunately each entry has some Thumbs - all together would be many!

    Actually Zoom is really important, is critical because often you can not read their cards because everything is to small.

  10. We can do that by opening an other doc, but it isn’t ergonomic.

    Having the option where you can choose one sheet of the bloc note and stick it to the side would be an improvement.

  11. Can you guys make it possible to edit and adjust the last modified date and time (similar to google photos) for notebooks it would be really helpful with keeping the notes sorted in order of last modified but also being able to make changes on the notes without them getting moved all the way to the start if we don't want them to be this would be an extremely helpful tool for university students especially it would be greatly appreciated if you could add this feature ASAP and also please include this on Goodnotes for Windows which I'm using and…

  12. The new feature that condensed the pen sizes into one button is clunky and adds two clicks to the process, and you have to change your grip to tap the screen with your finger to get rid of the drop down menu. Bring back the three buttons for pen sizes, at least in horizontal view.

  14. There are quite a few preferences, that should be set and/or remembered „per document“ and “not app-wide” because they depend mainly upon the content and style of each notebook. Including:

    • scroll direction

    • auto advance of zoom window

    • last used size of zoom window

    • last used margins of zoom window

    • pen colour presets (we now have a 3rd tab for recently used colours, this should be a “document colour preset” or “recently used in THIS document” instead)

    • last used text style and text box style (and user style presets if we ever get them)

    • filter settings for paper template selection (format…

  15. 画布的缩放大小与画笔的书写效果息息相关。同一个画笔在不同大小的画布上写出来的效果是不一样的,这样导致我每次都要调整画布大小以适应最佳的画笔书写效果。所以非常期待画布缩放大小时能展示数值。这样我就能快速调整画布大小。

  18. I often use a combination of writing utensils and text boxes while taking notes, and it would be nice if there was a way to save more color presets for text. It would save some time while switching between writing and text if I could save the same additional color presets for both. A way to the transfer color presets of one utensil to the other utensils/tools would also be beneficial.

  19. GoodNotes should have a widget option where we can pick a page of a document to be displayed. This would be so nice if we could see our to-do list or any other reminder on our home page.
