  1. How can I undo this last version of Goodnotes 6? I liked it better when the recording symbol wasn’t this horribly obvious as a big orange square. and I like it better when the toolbar didn’t move. Is there a way I can undo this update and back to the previous version of Goodnotes 6?!

  2. It would be nice if the highlighters and pictures you insert on the MacBook would not change its position on my iPad. whenever i highlight something on my iPad or on my MacBook or even insert a picture, the same page on the other device is a little shifted and not on the original position.
    I uploaded a picture: I wrote the text on my MacBook and highlighted on my iPad. The highlighter on the my MacBook was then shifted from its original position on my iPad. The highlighter on my iPad is still on the original position.

  3. This seems like a bug and it makes Goodnotes almost unusable for me. On my iPad I can see all the text and images fine, but on AirPlay, my students see a very pixelated version of all text and images.

    This happens both on whiteboards and pages, which leads me to think that it has something to do with a parameter that you might have set for the render resolution. The render resolution is too low for the current zoom level.

    This bug is making it really difficult to teach, could we potentially downgrade to an older version?

  4. The infinite canvas currently does not export as a searchable pdf file. When we export the file, it works like a picture which gets pixelated when we zoom
    So it would help a lot if we could search handwriting and text within the infinite canvas

  6. Hi GoodNotes team,

    I’m a heavy GoodNotes user on [iPad / Mac / iPhone] and I absolutely love using the app for studying and taking math/technical notes.

    I’ve noticed that GoodNotes currently doesn’t support inline LaTeX rendering in regular typed text (for example, writing $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ in a text box and having it render as nicely formatted math). I know you have great math / equation tools, but those generate separate equation objects rather than letting us mix math and normal text seamlessly in the same paragraph.

    For students and professionals in math, statistics, physics, engineering, and…

  7. Allow some means to recover password for when a password is forgotten. Or disable the master lock. Allow user to set different passwords for different files if desired.

  8. Whenever I am writing, and I scroll to above pages and then come back down what I see is the app has God knows how merged the annotation of two pages into one that is the content of two pages suddenly overlaps in one page and there is no way to fix this, you cannot undo this since it is glitch and even when restarted, it is still the same fix this ASAP or refund my subscription. I use this app for academic purpose, and this bug has destroyed my notes

  9. Goodnote 7 feels like Badnotes.
    To improve it, I suggest restoring the following features:

    • The smooth performance of Goodnotes 5 (especially the instant PDF rendering)

    • The toolbar layout from Goodnotes 5

    • Keeping the “crumple-to-erase” feature from Goodnotes 6

    • Keeping the folder organization feature from Goodnotes 6

    I propose releasing “Goodnotes 11,” combining the best features of Goodnotes 5 and 6.

  10. When importing files such as PDFs into GoodNotes 6 for Mac, the document name keeps the filename extension (e.g., “Document.pdf”).
    Please automatically strip extensions upon import, or at least provide a toggle in settings.

  11. I own a 2019 MacBook Pro with a high-end configuration, and most software runs extremely smoothly on it. I spent a significant amount of money purchasing the Mac version of GoodNotes, but now I can’t use the sync feature due to a version issue. Do I really have to buy a new computer just to use this function? That’s absolutely ridiculous!

  12. Change the undo gesture from double tap with 2 fingers to just one tap with 2 fingers, much like in procreate. Because it happens too often that i try to undo several times in a row and it gets like 25% of the undo I try to do, so i have to go and use the undo arrow button, which makes the gesture completely useless.
    The Redo gesture should be the same but with 3 fingers. This change will make the undo/redo action a lost faster than the actual.

  14. When using the “Learning resource cards,” there are two modes: “free trial” and “smart learning.” There is a really useful option in the free trial called “random,” which allows you to randomly start from either the question or the answer of a card. I’m wondering why this random setting isn’t available in smart learning yet. It’s really helpful for learning vocabulary in a foreign language and similar things, but we can’t do that in smart learning.
    (And yes, we could just use free training, but there’s no shuffle in it, so we have to review the cards in the same…

  15. 1.תיאום חזק יותר בין הspen לבין המסך. יש דיליי
    2. האפליקציה קצת איטית.
    3. חוויית המשתמש לא טובה. צריך לשפר דברים בארגון ובנראות כדי שיהיה קל ונגיש לתפעל במחברת לסטודנטים.
    4.הכלי של הצורות לא עובד טוב. היה נחמד גם אם היו צורות מוכנות מראש או לפחות שהאפליקציה הייתה קולטת נכון איזו. ורה רציתי לצייר.

  17. Geodreieck:
    Wie viele andere Nutzer Wünsche auch ich mir ein Geodreieck. Dazu möchte ich, dass die Kästchen bei der karierten Vorlage angepasst werden(1Kästchen=0,5cm).
    Text:
    Das neue Update hat das Tippen auf der ganzen Seite verkompliziert.
    Vorher waren Tippen und Tippen auf der ganzen Seite getrennt, jetzt muss man immer lange gedrückt halten, damit man auf der ganzen Seite tippen kann.

  18. Been a subscriber on goodnotes for almost two years and I only used milanotes for whiteboards, however the difference is huge and making it hard for me to switch completely

    Im not asking for all milanotes features (but hey id love that), but just make it less bland and nore pleasing to the eyes. being able to center the text like we want, shadows on sticky notes, color background features and overall just making it more pleasing to the eye and more freedom to custom our board like in milanote

  20. The font on the flash card should be able to be edited, and/or you should be able to scroll through the text on the flash card if the entire text is not readable on the card.
