  1. I usually have multiple open documents. When I start GoodNotes on my iPad, it often starts in the files view. To go to my open documents, I need to open a new document (or one that is already open).

    Can you add a button to go from the files view to the documents view?

  2. Add a button in the Bar at the top, similar to the pen layout. There is tons of empty space and the only button gives a short explanation on how to use it. There could easily be a button to convert to text, math, copy, paste, etc. Instead you have to click through the menu that pops up by holding with your finger, requiring you to drop the pen etc. This would improve workflow and is an easy implementation. Seems like forgoten feature.

  3. I am loving the new typing mode, but an important limitation is it does not currently support writing test in at least two columns (even in the default two- and three-column templates).

    Furthermore, the potential workaround of "manually" making columns by tabulating the gap between the desired columns in each line does not work either: after a couple of tabs, the cursor immediately moves down to the next line.

    This would be especially useful for e.g. typing vocabulary lists in two languages (one per column) or making long lists with short entries more compact (in terms of numbers of pages).

  4. I want to refer to the full form of these abbreviations, as these abbreviations are used in every page. I have to switch to this page after reading every line later as the abbreviations are used frequently. If I could attach a note of these abbreviations with the full forms which would be displayed on every page, so it would become easier for me to refer to the full forms.

  7. Hello... You can add the feature of sharing the audio recordings that are recorded in the program because it is very necessary for every user + and there is a small problem that when I change the location of the file, the audio recording stops working... Thank you.

  8. I would love if there was an option, when importing a PDF, to import it with a standardized and beautiful style, with text formatting, spacing, etc., sort of like Omnivore or Kindle. It would make reading PDFs on GoodNotes so much nicer of an experience. You could go even further and have options to increase text, change the color background, etc., like you can on the Kindle app.

  9. I would like to add the ability to print a study set.

    The study set mode has been added, so I'm using GoodNote very usefully.

    I sincerely wish your company endless development.

    Thank you.

  10. Please add a function so that we can embed audio and video files just like images into good notes. Or at least that we can link them, but embedding would way better. Thank you.

  14. Add a way for a customer to contact you when they have an issue that is not addressed anywhere, not even using your Bot. I need to change the main email on my account & that does not seem to be addressed ANYWHERE! A way to ask questions would be nice.

  15. Now that the customizable taskbar update has been released, it would be useful to have the ability to resize/adjust the length of the taskbar sections left and right in order to make room for more or less tools and colors. That way instead of having a user scroll through a bunch of colors, they can just adjust the section bar to the left to reveal more of their color palette.
    [Similarly to how Window PC taskbars have the “bars” that adjust icons left and right.]

    It would also be great to have an option to lock the adjustments as well.

  17. Currently there are two ways to highlight text from an imported PDF: using the highlight tool and highlighting freely the document with the aid of a pencil, or manually selecting the text and clicking on the highlight option.
    The latter method is more flexible for tasks such as studying on a textbook, as the highlight adjusts in size with the underlying text. Unfortunately, it is a very time consuming approach as it requires to first select the text, wait for a menu popup and then select highlight.
    It would be convenient to have an alternate behavior for the highlight tool,…

  19. This would be a great thing for both, people who just use a trackpad/mouse bc they like it but also for people with disabilities.
    Currently, these people can’t use most of the great features GN6 offers, e.g. Lasso, Tape, Geometry, Pen, Eraser, … Or in other words: everything that requires drag&drop.
    This would be also very useful for IOS18 where Apple just drops an eye control feature.
    Please make this great app (more) accessible for everyone!

  20. 색깔 플레이트에 스포이드 기능이 있었으면 좋겠어요. 색깔을 똑같은 것으로 맞춰야 할때가 많은데 스포이드 기능이 없어서 인지 통일감없이 색을 맞추기가 너무 힘들어요.
