  1. I need a way to view my notes on my phone. I'm on Android, but I'm sure this is similar for iPhone users as well. I don't always have my tablet or laptop with me, but I often need access to my notes. I don't need to be able to edit them - just view them. (Although, it would be nice if I could add a text comment via the phone so I could edit the notes later when I have my stylus handy.) Thank you for considering my idea.

  2. When we study, the article occupies too little of the whole screen, about 3/16 are occupied by the menu bar, which very much affects the attention of reading, and at the same time in the aesthetic design point of view is also lacking. Suggest to give a movable, automatically shrinking In the process of reading and learning to try not to notice the existence of the menu, for example, the menu will be designed as apple note can be minimised in the same way, but need to be commonly used functions will be displayed, such as eraser, pen, fast page…

  3. In modalità tastiera non si può fare granché se non scrivere ma solo con pochi stili e tipi di formattazione possibili. Si dovrebbe rendere più libera la possibilità di scegliere i tipi di caratteri

  4. Quando si finisce di scrivere una pagina non si riesce a continuare direttamente a scrivere nella pagina successiva, ma viene richiesto prima se si vuole aggiungere la pagina e poi viene cancellata gran parte delle ultime frasi della pagina precedente e sovraccaricate. Si potrebbe fare in modo di aggiungere in automatico una pagina nel momento in cui quella prima finisce così da poter continuare a scrivere senza interruzioni e problemi di sovratrascrizione?

  5. I would like to have the option to easily switch between my dark template and close-to white font and a lighter background with a darker font.
    Could be integrated into the template side. Eg contrast colors.
    Or just with the shift from light to dark mode.

    → it is really hard to search for words in my texts while having a dark template. There just isn’t enough contrast to show me the highlighted words; thus, I always have to change template and color…

  7. When I'm making several shapes or using images and want to be able to auto align them by either aligning of the top, bottom, middle, etc. Also the ability to space them evenly would be amazing.
    The ability to link/group these shapes/images together

  8. Because of my visual impairment (keratoconus) I am unable to differentiate between the Page Layout previews visually. Thin lines mix up to much with relatively bright background, every page preview looks the same (like a blank page).

    Please add a accessibility option for more contrast and thicker lines. (only for preview)

  9. When recording the Goodnotes app puts a date stamp but does not give the possibility to give a title to the recording. It would be critical for me to be able to name those recording. Further to this, it would be nice to be able to have the ablility to export recordings in mp3 or other format.

  10. Hi,

    Study set is a great fonctionality.
    I would love to use it to learn new languages.

    Currently, I am forced to write in question the word I would like to learn, in answer the answer in my native and do an other card with as question the word in native and as answer the word I want to learn.

    It is time consuming. Can it be a part of Study Set to be able to revert and learn it as well ?

    Thank you.

  11. It would be nice if there was a way to limit synchronisation to individual folders. It would be great if such a feature were realised in the future.

  12. It would be really helpful if we had the feature of being able to have a button next to the tabs which would show all tabs with a preview of the content - just like in Safari for iPadOS.

    It would make finding currently open documents much easier than scrolling through dozens of tabs and having to remember the exact name of the file.

  14. It would be really useful to have the same expanded font choice for a keyboard entering and handwritten text to typed text that you offer using the text tool in the box. I’m a creative person, and I like to choose my font to type in.

  15. It takes time to navigate through goodnotes. I much prefer a side menu bar like in onenote. With goodnotes 6 i hoped for this feature, but it is limited. I would love to maneuver easily through my notes, instead of manually clicking myself through my notebooks back and forth…
    Thank you!

  16. This would allow you to align elements like text, images or stickers with greater ease instead of trying to 'eyeball it'. (Similar to how Canva or Adobe does this on their design interface) When an object is selected and you are moving it around the page, a line will appear alongside another element on the page, and the object will stick to that line when you move it close, indicating that it has snapped into the same position.

  18. Similar to how it's done on Instagram reels or TikTok, a trashcan icon would appear all the way at the bottom when you have something selected with the lasso tool so you can easily drag it and discard it in one step instead of having to select a tool, long press and select 'delete'. This is especially helpful with text, as it is annoying to go through the process of deleting it.

  19. It would be cool to be able to write down with the apple pencil in the notes even if it was written with the Text option (keyboard)

  20. If the screen is just split into two, the preset colors will change when changing the pen color. Therefore, I would like to see a unified design where the presets themselves can be changed, like the color selection screen on the full screen.
