  1. Why no one is talking about creating a flexible , movable panel that allows user to set the “most usage pen” and some tools? I think Notability do have that. It would be a lotlotlotlot more convenient since we no need switching frequently.and also, double click the screen anywhere to “undo”, enhanced user convenience also.

  2. The toolbar can be moved to the left side of the screen with the elements being ordered vertically, so to have more space to write

  3. Similar to Microsoft Notes , it would be cool to include a document feature that I could also write on, like on the website mabe. For example, with Microsoft Notes you can type in the notebook on you computer, and then using the Microsoft Notes app (on tablet) you can also write on that same notes page. I know we can type notes onto goodnotes, however I like being able to type on my macbook and then if i want to write, transfer over to my ipad.

  4. If we want to do a lasso screen shot of an area which is free of self made elements, the screenshot icon appears directly on the lasso-options-bar, but when we want to do a screenshot with self made elements (does not matter if it‘s a picture, stylus writing or normal text) inside the lasso, we need to click on „more“ to get to the screenshot option. Please just add this back so it works faster, I think this was possible a couple of years ago.

  6. On macOS, the user interface in both documents and the folder overview often appears too small on large screens. It would be helpful to have an option to scale the UI—both to enlarge and reduce it. This feature would be useful not only on Mac but also on iPad and iPhone.

  7. Something I don't like about GoodNotes is that when you are on the Typing option in the Nav Bar (the keyboard symbol), you can't add line spacing when you have numbered list selected. How is this not something already integrated into the app?

  8. In the current version of GoodNotes 6, after displaying multiple masking tapes for memorization purposes, each one needs to be tapped individually to hide them, which is quite tedious. Therefore, I believe there is a need for a button that can hide all displayed masking tapes at once.

    原文(Japanese):
    現在のgoodnotes6では、複数のマスキングテープを表示して暗記に使った後、毎回それぞれをタップして非表示にする必要があります。これは、かなり面倒です。従って、表示したマスキングテープを一括に隠せるボタンを作る必要があると考えます。

  9. A search bar when you select the “Element” tool so you can search for specific types of sticker. Ex: “Check mark” or “Red Book”. I have a few huge sticker packs and it takes forever trying to find a specific sticker.

  10. I want to be able to use my own AWS account for AI related features so that way all my data stays strictly with me. It would be ideal to have a place to enter my access keys or whatever credentials I used to access my account.

  11. Es wäre hilfreich, wenn die ganze Funktion Smartes lernen ausgebaut werden würde und in einem eigenen Bereich leichter die Aufgabenliste für den Tag zu betrachten ist. Dann könnte man einen Kalender des Monates einblenden sodass angezeigt wird, wenn man die Karteikarten für den Tag bearbeitet hat. Vielleicht ist der Tag dann farbig hinterlegt. So wird man motiviert und das ganze System ist auch übersichtlicher. Häufig fällt einem nämlich gar nicht richtig auf, dass für den Tag Karteikarten zu lösen sind.

  12. The andriod version has so few features compared to the IOS. It's quite a disservice to andriod users who dislike apple ios. Please work on the andriod version tot be up to par with the ios!!

  13. As Goodnotes 6 already have Tape funtion, but I assume, the “Toggle” funtion as provided in Notion app would do wonders, esp for students, or anyone and everyone who uses Goodnotes for Notes taking and Revising the same.

  15. It could be great if the study set cards could be more customizable so you could add text and a photo and don't have to choose between them.

    In addition to this, it could be great if the app could be made controller compatible so you can link a controller to scroll through the cards.

  16. I like the spell-checking and automatic math features in Goodnotes, but I find it jarring to look at text in my own handwriting next to text in the built-in "handwriting" font. I think it would be really cool to make it so when you autofill an equation or use the spell-check feature it maintains the style of your handwriting instead of using a stock handwriting.

  18. For a math conversion tool, it's essential that Goodnotes should be able to recognize every mathematical or science symbol/sign. Simple symbols like the mathematical “therefore” symbol, ∴ , can't be recognized, making writing and converting one's math's notes a challenge especially in academic writing. Now I realize there are a lot of symbols out there, but one way to go about it is to take a look at the comprehensive lists at ctan.org. They have comprehensive list of every LaTeX symbol, which pretty much equates to every math symbol that can be indentified for conversion. I've attached one such file.…

  19. Students often struggle with professors’ PDF slides featuring unusual or difficult color combinations. A practical solution to this issue would be introducing a new feature in GoodNotes: the ability to convert documents into black-and-white mode, enhancing readability and usability.

  20. I loved getting a satisfying ding when using Microsoft Suite’s to do list and ticking off a task. It would be great if we could add a sound when inserting stickers for the same gratification. Even if this were just made possible through ‘Shortcuts’ on the iPad, so we could add a sound. That would increase my motivation.
