  1. When reducing the tools in the toolbar the tool options window remains the same width, even when there is room to expand to the full window width.
    It would be nice to see all options for a tool when the space is available.

  2. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am a long-time user of GoodNotes on my Macbook and greatly appreciate the app. However, during my usage, I have identified some areas for improvement that could significantly enhance the user experience.

    Firstly, I would like to suggest optimizing GoodNotes for Macbook users, particularly with regards to the writing experience. It would be fantastic if the app could automatically detect that it is running on a Macbook and adjust the writing width accordingly. This would eliminate the need for users to manually adjust settings constantly to achieve the optimal…

  4. This would be super useful instead of having to copy hex codes all the time in order to be able to use the same highlighter color on different devices .

  5. Add the ability to have multiple saved text styles. Currently, you can only save one "default" text style, but I use multiple styles in different places, i.e. headlines and body text for note-taking in school.

    Also, allowing different default text styles per notebook would really be a nice feature. I'm sure many of us use different default depending on the notebook, and it gets cumbersome changing the settings each time.

  6. When I connect my ipad to an external display using stage manager, a bug appears. In this situation I have firstly the goodnotes application open and displayed on my ipad and secondly any document or application open and displayed on the external screen. So when I open a new goodnotes document on my ipad or change document via the taskbar, this automatically zooms in on the external screen, placing the application or home screen out of frame on the external screen. This bug is very annoying because it appears every time I open or change a document on goodnotes and…

  7. Can you please enable handwritten note-taking and inserting images in the “add comment” section?
    Typing the comment takes time and limits the note-taking experience to the keyboard tools. The notes also all look the same (there’s no bold or underline or change font options).
    This would allow a smoother and faster experience while using this option. It also combines between the sticky notes/post-it ideas and the already present add comment feature.
    I prefer the add comment in that it takes less space and thus allows a neater page.

  8. Notebook Title tabs are currently equally spaced with a lot of wasted space. Making tab size auto fit the title would allow for more shorter named tabs and quicker switching between notebooks without scrolling. It gives the user choice over tab size by choosing title length.

  12. Be able to customize tools

    It should be possible to customize the individual tools like pen, back, forward, etc. like in Word, which means that you should place them differently within the toolbar.

    For students this is very important.

  13. The history buttons are positioned too close to the Library View button. I usually miss clicked them so instead of going back to my previous edits, I totally LOST them all!

    • Maybe position them to the bottom as shown in the attachment?
    • And/or make the documents preserve their editing history

    Be mindful about handedness though.

  14. I think it would be awesome if audio recordings could be saved to a page instead of a notebook as a whole. So for example MS PowerPoint you can record audio per slide and place a button to play the audio on the slide. This is great if your audio is only related or needed for a specific page and not the whole journal.

  15. We, the users who already paid for "lifetime" access for GN5, shouldn't have to pay again for GN6, to the tune of 3x the cost. And what's your definition of "lifetime" anyway? Change of whim and software? The new features simply aren't that amazing to warrant any kind of cost. Legacy users should get the upgrade for free. New users should be the ones to get this godawful subscription model that you swore you wouldn't foist upon the users (like Notability, remember what you said about them??). I'm sure this feature request will go right in the bin, but I…

  18. It's one of the features already in "Good notes 5 for ios". I'm missing some of the features in Ios, such as reordering pages and multi-task documents. And I also see some small bugs. There are a lot of minor bugs, such as the problem of not being pressed long when scrolling through pages, and the problem of being pressed long while writing. I hope you can solve the bug quickly.

  19. In the setting "Handwriting Recognition" it is possible to "Add Language" to the preferred languages.

    If I added a language by mistake, I would like to be able to remove/uninstall a falsely added language.
