  1. For Goodnotes 6, the search function is way poorer than it was in Goodnotes 5. It was now harder to search for some words that I can easily find in Goodnotes 5. I don’t want to have a downgrade though so please, please improve the search button to find more accurate.

    If it’s not too much to ask, could we have an option as well to change color of searched words in search button? Because it’s only in orange color and it’s hard if we we’re using orange highlighter.

    Thank you so much.

  2. Goodnotes and Notability should join forces and combine all their good factors and ideas to create a super note taking app. You could call it
    'Supernote'. All other name ideas can be mentioned in comments.
    Thank you!

  3. It would be great to have an option to decide if the automatically create form is filled with full colours (just like the outline) or pastel colours (like it is now)

  4. Infinte Page / Extra Space for notes when editing a PDF

    I'd LOVE to see this! Like, I use the vertical orientation when I take notes / edit a PDF and I think what would really elevate the App would be if there was the option to not only add pages below my last one but sidewise to every other page es well.

    Like right now you can do this:

    Page
    Page
    Page
    Page
    (swipe to add new page)

    And I really need the feature to add like "note pages" next to ever page like

    Main Page (swipe to add…

  5. When you are in the classroom sometimes you take a picture of a projected slide from the side, so the picture is in “diagonal” or angled. There are apps that allow to adjust for the tilted angle to return the picture so it looks like it’s facing forward. It’s better, and more readable. It also takes less room from you note since you don’t have excess corners

    The request idea is to be able to adjust the corners so the picture adjusts the angle and it looks facing forward

  6. After the new update, we got the option to have more than 3 colours in our tool bar, but we lost the quick access to pen size curser because of that.
    Definitely a downgrade.
    Having to click on the little icon to change the size is so annoying and time consuming.
    So please bring the old version back, where we can have our 3 pen sizes directly onto our toolbar.

  8. When you open the index card overview, the font is usually far too small to really read what is written on the cards. You should be able to change the size of the cards by swiping or dragging them larger and smaller. Then you can read the cards and don't have to search for a long time.

  9. Reverse flashcards

    It would be great to be able to flip question and answer for a study session. For example, sometimes it’s great to have the question be a vocabulary word and the answer be the definition. However, sometimes it is good to reverse that and see the definition as the question and the word as the answer. Alternatively it would also be good to also have a mode that flipped back and forth between these modes.

  10. Would like the ability to toggle the page number to stay on at all times. Also the ability to tap the page number to search for different pages. Where is the scroll bar? It is not intuitive having to use your finger in order to see the page number and go into the settings to search for a specific page number.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  15. 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…

  16. Having the ability to delete or remove the default fonts to make more room for custom fonts. Or at least show the maximum number of custom fonts we can have in the app

  17. 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

  18. 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…

  20. 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.
