  1. It would be great if it were possible to change the spacing or the size of the lines, grid, etc., since the default one is very large and makes it hard to keep notes neat. This option would really improve the experience, as sometimes the default templates make the notes too big and uncomfortable to use.

  2. Can you simply move the search option to the area where the notification bell and gear icon are located.

  3. I noticed that ever since updating to Goodnotes 6, it has become quite laggy, much more noticable when writing things in a hurry. I belive it is an app issue because using the Apple Notes app seems just fine. Hope this is fixed soon since Goodnotes is now on a subscription basis.

  5. I would like to suggest adding a feature that allows the one-time payment plan to be linked with Windows as well. I wouldn’t mind if this comes as an additional paid add-on.

  8. Easier sorting of tabs. I usually have 10 documents open at the same time. If I want to change the order, it requires a lot of dexterity. Perhaps a move function with arrows could be implemented. Thank you very much.

  9. It is inconvenient to have to erase each page one by one when deleting them. I want to be able to erase all the pages I want at once. Please allow me to erase them by selecting the pages I want to in the edit and pressing Erase Page.

  12. Similar to uploading new brushes, making the ability to add palettes. I want to be able to choose stickers and a palette of colors I've made. They do this in Procreate and I love it.

  13. Being able to customize other colors other than blue. Also add wallpaper to the background UI would be great.

  14. I use both Goodnotes and Obsidian on my iPad and would love the ability to hyperlink text, images, objects and handwriting to a file in Obsidian. I know we can hyperlink to other notes in GN or websites but there doesn’t seem to be a way to connect to any of my Obsidian files.

  15. I think the idea of implementing a set of custom pens for each notebook or page would be very useful.

    I often jump between different notebooks and each book might have different pen colours and sizes. However, as the pen presets are global, I have to continually change pen attributes.

    So, for example, I might be brainstorming with an A1 page or the infinitely canvas when it’s rolled out ;-) and an A4 page. Although there are three user presets they are the same for all notebooks (global) and I still need to constantly change them (size & colour).

    If…

  16. When adjusting a long text box the handles can disappear when they go beyond the page. If you can make anything that enters this canvas area visible then you can see and adjust the text box handles. Failing that, it would be very helpful if the handles adjusted so that they were always visible on the page, rather than being fixed to the centre of the box.

  17. The area surrounding the page could be used to show anything that’s beyond the page itself. So, if I wanted to move some text or an object to that area for reference etc then it’s viewable (but not printable as it’s outside the page). Other apps implement this well like Photoshop.

  18. Many times when inserting a picture I do it to write on it but I must be very careful because it tends to move with any finger resize or displacement. could you add an option to kind of make it permanent once I insert it.

  19. Right now, the app doesn't run well, isn't integrated with S Pens (the button can't be binded), and it just doesn't feel enjoyable to write on.
    Writing this from an S9 FE.

    I think letting it run natively (instead of currently through basically a well hidden browser) and then sync in the background would improve things from the user standpoint.

  20. Bitte baut eine Option ein, bei der man nicht nur die Richtigkeit der Karteikarten mit Ja oder Nein beantworten kann, sondern in einer Art Skala (Das klappt sehr gut, weniger gut,…). Dies würde die Wiederholung der Karten verbessern. Oft ist eine Antwort ja nicht komplett falsch, andere dafür schon. Eine Differenzierung gibt es dabei aktuell nicht.
