  1. It would be very helpful to have a clear page option that removes handwriting and text but keeps inserted images intact. I frequently take pictures of suggested problems or textbook problems, and after some time i want to resolve then and get rid of my old computations and scribbles.

  3. Hello, thank you for always providing a wonderful app.

    I would like to request a feature regarding the text tool in GoodNotes 6.

    In the current version, the minimum font size is fixed at 8pt.

    However, in previous versions, being able to use 1โ€“7pt was extremely helpful for writing small annotations, subscripts, chemical formulas, and compact notes.

    If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could:
    ใƒป Allow font sizes below 8pt again (1โ€“7pt)

    This function would benefit many users who need fine, detailed writing.

    Thank you very much for your consideration.

  4. Version 7.0.18: At the moment, it's only possible to link notebooks. It would be useful to link text documents, too.

  5. Allow text boxes to move from page to page without lasso tool. Since the text box is already a moveable item it would be nice to be able to move it from page to page without it disappearing. The lasso seems like an unnecessary extra step

  6. Each newest verion of the app makes things worse and worse. Before this latest update if you selected the lasso tool and had handwriting seletion off when you took a screenshot the handwriting would be omitted from the screenshot. Now even with handwriting seleted off you take a screenshot and it includes the handwriting. What is the point of not selecting handwriting if it is still showing in the screenshot?

    If I hadn't spent $30 and had years of notes for school, I would switch apps. I am so disapointed with what this app has become. They're just pushing AIโ€ฆ

  7. Please add an option to set custom font presets for handwriting-to-text conversion. When I convert handwritten notes, the text always switches to the default font, and I have to reformat everything manually. Being able to choose and save presets (e.g., Noteworthy Bold for headings and Noteworthy Light for body text) would save a lot of time and make notes much cleaner instantly.

  9. There should be a way to reverse the flash card to learn the questions from the answers? Quizlet, a competing app, does this, and I can't find the equivalent on Goodnotes :(

  10. When using the โ€œLearning resource cards,โ€ there are two modes: โ€œfree trialโ€ and โ€œsmart learning.โ€ There is a really useful option in the free trial called โ€œrandom,โ€ which allows you to randomly start from either the question or the answer of a card. Iโ€™m wondering why this random setting isnโ€™t available in smart learning yet. Itโ€™s really helpful for learning vocabulary in a foreign language and similar things, but we canโ€™t do that in smart learning.
    (And yes, we could just use free training, but thereโ€™s no shuffle in it, so we have to review the cards in the sameโ€ฆ

  11. New update removed ability to stay on typing function and will revert back to Lasso. This is so annoying. Also bring back allowing the user to choose their default font color. My school uses dark colored ppts and when typing the auto selected black font makes it impossible to keep up with note taking as i constantly must highlight the text and change it to white font.

  12. Guten Tag,

    es wรคre schรถn, wenn man die eigenen Vorlagen noch weiter bearbeiten kรถnnte.

    Die von mir importierte Vorlage ist z.B. in links 1/3 Korrekturrand und rechts 2/3 linierter Bereich aufgeteilt.
    Wenn ich in dieser Vorlage allerdings die Funktion โ€žmit tippen startenโ€œ wรคhle, wird leider nicht in dem dafรผr vorgegebenen Bereich geschrieben.
    Auch das Zoom-Fenster wรผrde ich gerne automatisch auf den Beginn der Zeile springen lassen. Bisher zeigt das Zoom-Fenster nach dem Vollschreiben einer Zeile jedoch den linken Rand des Blaats an, der ja aber als Korrekturrand frei bleiben soll.

  13. Please for the love of god, add a freaking compass! Itโ€™s been a year and still nothing. The circle drawing tool is inaccurate, messy, off centre, and overall useless. Is it really that hard to make a simple tool as a compass?

  14. It would be wonderful if GoodNotes offered a simpler way to format text inside a text box so that it automatically matches the notebookโ€™s paper lines. Right now, adjusting font size and line spacing requires trial and error, which can be timeโ€‘consuming. A feature that helps align text perfectly with the chosen paper template (ruled, squared, etc.) would make writing and studying much smoother.

    Such an option would ensure that typed notes look as natural and organized as handwritten ones, saving users time and improving readability.

  15. Why can't GoodNotes find certain words from inserted images when I use the search feature? The goodnotes team should really implement an optical character recognition feature, like the ones that one note and notability has. It is so disappointing that we are unable to search for words in a document with images, which would help a lot of students studying in med professions.

  16. Quick selection is clunky and gets in the way. The tool doesnโ€™t do layers well so realistically tapping on an object never works for me. I remember this being an option in GoodNotes 5, where I can disable click to select different objects (universal selection?) and that really simplified things for me. Iโ€™m not sure why that option is taken away.
