  1. I love that we can change the colour of files in GoodNotes 6 now, but I really want more options!! Have a file “preset” and add your own button would be great to make it customizable. Make it the same as adding new pen colours, with a button to open up more preset collections.

  2. I would like the possibility to use continuous pages instead of a set size of a page. The width is okay, but the possibility to scroll down more or less endlessly would be nice. I think this way my notes are more structured because I can have one topic on a page and not over several pages. I know this concept from OneNote and this is the only function I really miss.

  3. Please could you include te reo Maori (the Maori language) in your supported languages. There is huge Maori language regeneration in New Zealand supported by new generations of Maori who have been schooled in their language and non-Maori who are keen learners of the Maori language. There would be great uptake by New Zealand users of goodnotes.

  4. When moving texts or images it would be very helpful to have lines that equally space out the text or images like in Canva

  5. Description:
    I suggest adding features to GoodNotes that provide greater control and flexibility in creating notes and designs. These improvements include:

    Precise Alignment and Equitable Distribution: Adding a contextual menu that allows aligning objects (such as text boxes and stickers) to the left, top, right, bottom, vertical center, and horizontal center. Additionally, enabling equitable distribution and equidistant alignment between objects would be fantastic!

    Object Grouping: Allowing grouping objects to manipulate them as a unit, facilitating the organization and editing of multiple elements collectively.

    Precise Size Definition: Implementing the ability to precisely define the size of objects by entering specific values…

  7. I use Goodnotes for all of my university note-taking, but do not find the notebooks sufficient for essay/report writing. It would be very useful if it were possible to create a document, rather than a 'notebook', geared more towards typical word-processing, so that I can keep my essays and notes all in one place!

  9. we used to be able to take a screenshot on our Macbooks and drag them to insert into a note, now you have to insert a photo on the ipad. This just makes the process 10 times longer, really wish this feature could come back, I don't know why it was removed in the first place from good notes 5

  10. There a many suggestions w.r.t. to linking and it seems to me that they relate to linking FROM GoodNotes to websites or within GoodNotes itself.

    What I would want is to link FROM another app TO a page or even better any object within GoodNotes.

    Example: Within DEVONthink I can get a url (e.g. x-devonthink-item://32BE24E3-...) to any item (group, document, PDF page, search, ..) within its database. I use those links from other apps like Omnifocus, Obsidian, ...

    The existing Sharing seems to link to the whole notebook (which might have dozens of pages) and allows for collaboration (which I…

  11. Imagine you've recorded a 3-hour class, which makes finding a particular chapter incredibly difficult, also this tool makes it easier for you to write the professor's words into your notes.

  12. When opening any document, especially with PDFs but also with my own notes, it would be great to have the possibility to have a separate page on the side to take notes on WITHOUT activating Split View, so all important notes are directly next to the page. Like in the picture but with more space for notes. In the settings you could choose which kind of paper you want to write on and which side the notes should appear on.

  14. Drag is very weird and hard to move around. Also, when I logged back in, all the colors disappeared, so I had to re-enter a new color again, which was very cumbersome. Page loading time is very slow and sometimes it erase some parts of my writing.
    Lastly, when typing, words are omitted due to buffering or the same words come out continuously, making it inconvenient to take notes.
    Why is it still different from IOS? As I know, it's been almost half a year since the Android version was released, but there are no additional functions like the IOS…

  15. I use GoodNotes to store pdfs of my textbooks for college. I bookmark specific chapters, but it is so hard to find what page I am looking for because the thumbnails are an inch tall while looking at the page view.

    I think it would be best to have these thumbnails bigger because it is impossible to read a word from a page without moving my face really close to the screen.

    I attached two screenshots showing how small and unfortunately illegible these pages are. I also use GoodNotes on my iPad, and I love it. I feel like this…

  17. I'm missing an option where you can set the pencil as a finger only to navigate. It's very practicable for reading, so you can navigate with the pencil and switch to highlighting and back, for example. It also helps with clicking on hyperlinks. This way, the user doesn't have to switch between the pencil and their finger all the time.

  19. Shortcuts to get to books. For instance I want a book to be in two folders since its relevant to two folders. However I dont want different copies of the book in the two folders. I would rather have the book in one folder and a shortcut of it in the other.
