2. Custom folder colors / Different color options for folders

   Custom folder colors! I’m happy to have different colors to pick from, but I would love to use a color wheel for more colors like orange or different shades!

   Thanks everyone for contributing to this idea! We're currently working on adding more folder colors.

   Stay tuned — we'll keep you posted once it goes live!

3. [New tool] Post-it Tabs

   One of the major issues in relation to using a digital file, compared to a traditional paper file is that in a paper file you can attach "post-its" to relevant pages which you can then refer to when you are using that file. This is an essential tool for lawyers, for example. So that, if you are referring to a bundle of files, you can have them in front of you where you can see the protruding tabs and refer to them immediately. The visualisation of the tabs – allows for easy access to the relevant page.

   Whilst good notes allows you to tab pages – obviously – there are physical differences between hard paper and electronic paper.

   However, would it be possible for good notes to try and emulate this by doing the following:

   1. You have the option of attaching a coloured side tab to the relevant pages;
   2. You then have the option of "see side tabs"
   3. When you press that option, the tabbed pages, with their tabs, all shrink slightly and move to the left – allowing you to see the tabs. Then, you can press the tab which opens the page – similar to how this would work in hardcopy.

   I attach a photograph by way of example.

   Perhaps, something like this could be considered.

   Many thanks for taking the time to consider this idea.

   Kind regards,

   Asim

4. View-only Link Sharing

   It would be really helpful to have „View only links“ as an alternative to collaboration. This would enable us to share information without giving permission to edit it. I would use this really often in a school and work context.

5. Image Borders, Shadows

   Just a simple toggle to add/remove a border from an image. A collage of screen caps and images looks very disorganized without defined edges. This is the single most important request, please implement as soon as possible thank you.

7. The worst update ever

   There are so many things that became inconvenient after this update. Here are just a few examples.

   1. The line spacing I saved as a default isn't applied when typing in a new text box.
   2. The toolbox sticks right next to the text box and blocks the background.
   3. Changing fonts or line spacing got much complicated.(especially line spacing, which now takes several steps.)
   4. After typing in a text box, it automatically deselects and switches to the lasso tool.

   These are only some of the issues. The previous UI was more efficient and comfortable to work with. Please fix the bugs and bring back the old UI.

8. [Eraser] Move the Eraser to the ‘Writing Tools’

   Currently, the Eraser Function and Writing Tools are two different tabs. This disrupts the continuous flow of writing, as users have to frequently toggle between two different tabs. This issue is especially vital as the tabs are at a higher eye level, thus users have to take some moments to locate, and select the eraser function when needed, which also causes users to mistakenly tap onto another mini tab.

   This brings about inconvenience to users, especially since the flow of thoughts is disrupted.

   Thus, I would propose shifting the position of the eraser function into the writing tools tab. This would greatly enhance users’ experience with GoodNotes. Would really appreciate if this feedback is taken, thank you so much!

11. Update

    After this new update everything is so much less user freidnly. it makes me so frusterated to use. the shapes tool is critical for me in my coursework and they completely ruined it. I never makes the shape that you want and you are unable to edit it. I dont see one positve or effective change in this update. Pleas allow us to revert back to old good notes it was so much better.

12. Please bring back typing + handwriting in the same note

    I really miss the old version where I could type text and handwrite in the same note. Now I have to choose between typing or writing note, which honestly makes note taking so much harder.

    I know there’s the “text” option in the handwriting mode, but it’s just not the same… it doesn’t sync as neatly, and I waste so much time adjusting font size, boldness, spacing, etc. It totally breaks my focus and I end up missing a lot of info during class.

    Please, please bring back the ability to type and write in the same note again. It used to be so smooth and perfect

14. Built-in Calculator / Scientific Calculator

    I suggest adding a calculator feature to GoodNotes 6 to enhance its functionality and streamline user workflows. This feature could allow users to perform calculations directly within their notes, making it especially useful for students, professionals, and anyone working with numerical data. For example, a floating calculator tool could be integrated into the app, enabling users to perform quick calculations without leaving the workspace. Alternatively, a feature that allows handwritten equations to be converted into calculated results would align well with GoodNotes’ emphasis on handwriting recognition and natural note-taking. This addition would not only save time but also make GoodNotes 6 more versatile and user-friendly.

15. Revert to old UI!!!

    Please go back to the most previous UI. This new UI though more simplified, is more tedious to work with. I like the implementation of when you copy a photo, it directly sizes it from a corner instead of proportionally sizing everything. However, once you click off that image, you have to go back to the pen which wastes time during fast lectures.
    The new text box interaction is also tedious since you have to hold down and click ‘start editing’ instead of just clicking a button to text on the whole page. And if you do just a small text box then tao out of it, it automates to the pencil again making you have to go back to the text box tool - yet another time wasting function.
    And most annoying: the voice recordings. It is incredibly tedious now to find and play your voice recordings - and the new UI which hovers over your page takes up too much space. It was more effective when it would just show up on the tools bar. I’ve had many instances where I’m listening, and then tap out and have to re-find it on this new UI.
    PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK

16. revert back to the old version before the update

    The new update is so inefficient, you split up the tool bar which takes up more space, and it makes me feel like there's always a visual barrier at the top which is extremely distracting. listen to the feedback from many of the unsatisfied users, and quickly implement a change. Or, have options for some users to try the new update, or revert back to the old version if they don't like it. Don't just keep the new update simply because your company spent too much time or money on it and you don't want it to go all to waste. Your selling point is that customers love the convenience of this note taking app, keeping updates that users don't like will only make your customers unhappy. Thousands of other apps are available, such as Notability, Freeform, etc. Listen to your customer feedback

18. New Update

    I know these are for a single complaint, however, the entire update is the issue and the app would be better reverted to the previous version.

    This has been the worst update in a long time. First and foremost, the bookmark feature has been absolutely stripped on confidence and essentially ruined. Using the new text boxes is a nightmare - the new editing tool the sits next to the text box simply obstructs the document, is clunky, and makes editing the text boxes infinitely more difficult. Also, there is no longer the ability to use apple’s native ‘look up’ feature in text boxes - as someone who uses the app in a field with many complex words that I have to look up frequently, this is widely inconvient. The tool bar now unnecessarily hangs down over the document - it was fine before and didn’t need changed. There is less tool customization (yes you can “customize” the tool bar, but now within the editing tool there’s a pencil which cannot be removed and is unnecessary for most work.) The smaller tool bar with the weird overhang also makes fewer colors visible without having to scroll. With inserting an image, the box now shows up over the document, and for what? Before the image box was conveniently in the tool bar and could be expanded as needed. Adjusting highlighter shapes is also now not possible - instead of being able to correct a highlighter shape after it snaps in 2 dimensions independently, it is now only adjustable in a fixed ratio — again, for what?

    This update is a major down-grade and is truly baffling all around.

20. Revert shape resize to what it was in the Goodnotes 6 version.

    Now, when the shape snaps, you can't edit its dimensions by dragging your pen, it only resizes larger or smaller. This is an issue because I have to change the tool to the shape tool to change the dimensions, and this has a minimum width. Goodnotes 6 had a good system where the shape snapped and then you could drag your pen to change the width/height of the box rather than just scaling it up or down.
