  1. Dear GoodNotes Developers,
    I hope this doesn’t come across as too forward, but I have a suggestion I’d like to share.
    I would greatly appreciate it if you could create a dedicated bug report channel here.
    For example, when a Sticky Note is positioned at the center or bottom of the screen, the screen automatically moves whenever the keyboard is opened. I’ve reported this issue multiple times through the in-app bug reporting, but even after several updates over the past few days, the issue still hasn’t been addressed.
    There are also other ongoing issues, such as scrolling glitches, pen input…

  2. I am left-handed and when I zoom in to write with the Apple Pencil, the page always snaps back to the center automatically.
    This makes it very hard to start writing on the far left side of the page, because I constantly end up writing at the edge.

    It would be very helpful if the page could be freely positioned horizontally (left/right) while zoomed in, without snapping back to the center.
    An option to disable automatic centering or a dedicated left-handed writing mode would greatly improve the writing experience for left-handed users.

  3. I love using scribble to have my notes written in a different font but I wish we could have as much flexibility with the lasso tool as we do with normal hand writing. For example sometimes to I do my math homework on there and I want to move some of the variables down or move only one word from the sentence but when using the lasso tool with text box the whole text box moves even when I only circle one part.

  4. いつもGoodnotesを快適に使わせていただいております。
    ​さて、今回ご相談したいのは、ノートブック(ファイル)の最終更新日の表示とソート機能に関する改善についてです。
    ​現状、ファイルを「最終更新日」で並べ替えた際、ファイル内のページを編集した日付(書類の最終更新日)ではなく、ファイルそのものが作成または移動された日付が基準となっているように見受けられます。
    ​多くのユーザーは、次に作業するノートを見つけたい時に「最終更新日」でのソートを利用するかと思います。そのため、ファイル内の書類(ページ)を最後に編集した日付が、ファイルそのものの最終更新日として反映され、その日付で正確に並べ替えができるような機能の追加をご検討いただけませんでしょうか。
    ​この機能が実装されることで、頻繁に利用するノートへのアクセスが格段に向上し、Goodnotesをさらに便利に活用できると期待しております。
    ​お忙しいところ恐縮ですが、ご検討いただけますと幸いです。

  5. FREE ROTATE ON PAGES!!!!

    Moving the physical iPad from side to side is NOT efficient. Being able to freely rotate a page to write at an angle would be SO much more helpful, when taking notes, doodling, or simply to look at the notes from a different angle.... I really would love to see this implimented as this is the biggest flaw goodnotes has as a program!

  7. I really love the addition of the elbow/curved line correctors, perfect shape tools, and stroke settings, however the issues coinciding with these are making them hard to enjoy.
    1. Arrows and other connecting lines auto attach to other shapes in the document with seemly no way of detaching them. I understand they are called connecting lines for a reason and are meant for connecting diagrams and flow charts, but I almost never use them to connect objects or shapes. This makes using them to draw arrows and other pictures very frustrating and annoying. The new shape tool does not have…

  8. Please decrease the sensitivity for making circles. Whenever I quickly want to draw up a circle and hold to make it "auto-shape", it usually ends up being an ellipsis. I have not once in my life needed an ellipsis, however 90% of my circles get turned into one when holding down. It would be great, if this feature would tend more towards circles than ellipses, as I feel like more users need those in their day-to-day life :)

  10. I found this feature very helpful with my creative designs in previous versions of the app. I have long loved Goodnotes and am disappointed that I can no longer easily use this feature. While using lasso you can see that I can adjusted the size but there is no longer the option to rotate the selected shape.

  11. Why were the Arabic fonts removed? All my friends and I are upset about the removal of the Arabic fonts. If they are not returned, I and all my friends will cancel the subscription and it will not be renewed. This is a tragedy. I have a project that I have been working on and coordinating for three years. I am surprised that today it is in a state of chaos because of the removal of the fonts that I was applying to it.

  12. I can’t really use the new shape tool to teach geometry.
    The new version
    - attaches the handwritten data to the shape, so I can’t move them separately
    - automatically deletes parts of my handwritten notes if it’s on a shape
    - it’s not possible to rotate the shapes.
    - I can’t remove the border of the shape.

    I attached a few drawings that could be made easily in the previous versions.
    Thanks if you consider to bring back the previous settings for the shape tool.

  16. Please add the keyboard icon to tool customization.
    Keyboard icon should be easily accessible. Many people like to enter data with a keyboard and switch to it quickly.

  17. search option for selecting location! when moving a file-doc, I often will not know the location of the file or folder to which i want to move. it is too time-consuming to search by clicking on folders to find the location I’m looking for. it would be great if there was a search window within the select, a location window!

  18. Please provide a line spacing adjustment bar in the templates sections... like I can adjust the line spacing in the squared and lined templates.. or add more options with varied line spacing like there is in lined tempelate .. like ruled narrow ruled wide. . Similarly add more tempelate for each but it is better if a custom line spacing bar is given for each tempelate so that I can adjust it myself

  19. It would be incredibly useful if Goodnotes could apply OCR to both inserted images and imported PDFs. This would allow users to search, highlight, and copy text from all types of study materials.

  20. When listening to recordings, the pause, play, and progress bar used to be at the top of the screen and now they are in a window and in the way and I often accidentally hit it with my hand or pencil which is incredibly frustrating. Please put it back.
