  1. I would like to point out that the ability to enable or disable scribbling of previously written text and deletion of words or phrases in the GoodNotes 6 settings is an extremely important feature. This feature is much needed as it gives users the flexibility to enable or disable scribbling as needed. Some of us may not want to use this new feature of GoodNotes 6 and would like the ability to customize it according to our own preferences.
    Therefore, we hope that you can consider this request and enable/disable the doodle feature in a future update of GoodNotes 6.…

  2. Allow for selected items to be moved across pages for a better workflow.
    this saves time from not having to copy-paste items instead.

    basically making it so multiple pages can be treated as one:
    lasso two pages at once, move items across two pages, right on two pages with a single line, etc.

  3. Add a duplicate button for selected lasso regions, images, text, etc.
    this makes the workflow much faster

    Make copy-pasting faster by allowing for tapping the screen to bring up a menu that includes the "past button" instead of the tap-and-hold function.

  4. It’s been bothering me for a week now since the last update of Goodnotes 6 app that now it has a delay response for 1-2 seconds from apple pencil whenever I write something on Goodnotes. For the other apps I have, all of it works perfectly as the way it used to be. I’m using it with iPad Pro M1. I’ve been using Goodnotes since 2017 and this is the first time it happened to me.

  5. Currently only rectangular borders are available for a text box. I would like to be able to change this to a circle or an oval and have it auto size around the text.

  6. I would like to be able to select multiple items on a page like text boxes and then change atributes of the text box like border color or size, or the font size or the formatting of the text. And not just have this capability be restricted to text boxes but anything on the page.

  7. I love how you have implemented casting the screen to a TV to make presentations. I would like one more feature. I would like to physically turn the TV to portrait mode, have GoodNotes support casting a portrait orientation screen on my iPad to the portrait orientation TV. This means GoodNotes would need to fake out the TV by rotating the image 90 degrees and cast the image to the TV as if it was landscape orientation. This would fake out the TV and enable a portrait screen to be casted to a portrait oriented TV.

  8. It would be kinda cool to make audiobuttons, so you can record something (explanation for example) and put it next to a graphic or a math thingy you did. So basically the comment function but for Audioclips.

  10. We are able to record audios using GN but once inside the app it is impossible to get them to use a 3rd party to get the transcripts

    It would be nice if we can download the files or get them out of good notes

  11. It would be helpful so that we can create additional study sets easier as I have found excel is the best way to input info into study sets but without the ability to merge sets at this time.

  12. When reviewing our study sets, it should be possible to decide the number of Q-cards we wish to review from all the study sets we've generated in a single session. For instance, if I have a study set with 90 Q-cards, but I prefer to be quizzed on the initial 30 Q-cards exclusively, I should be able to pick those 30 Q-cards and focus solely on them. This approach allows us to study in segments, and when we feel prepared, we can then test ourselves on all 90 Q-cards.

  13. I recently paid to upgrade to Goodnotes 6 as I really like the app and use it every day for work and teaching. However, I have been unable to use the app in the last two weeks as it claims (iPad only) that I am on the freemium service. I have followed all the instructions on the help page and while my MacBook agrees I have the premium service my iPad resolutely disagrees. The help page note does not make it clear if this issue is the same as that currently being fixed, nor does it give a timeline nor…

  14. Es kann nicht sein, dass man eine Änderung des Formates, zB wenn ich ALLE Seiten auf A4 wechseln will, dass ich das dann auf vielen dutzenden Seiten einzeln händisch machen muss. Das dauert Stunden und reduziert euer 5 Sterne Programm auf ein schlecht durchdachtes 0 Sterne Programm. Ich sehe da bei dem teuren Preis der App einen dringenden Nachholbedarf.

  15. When eraser tool is selected, the circle image (regardless of size) is often difficult to see on the screen when it is moved around and I sometimes erase items I did not want to lose. Can the contrast of the eraser image on the monitor screen be made brighter or of different colors so it is more easily seen on the screen?

  16. Rather than only having the option to using an AMOLED background, it would be preferable to allow users to set a custom image as the background

  17. I wish we could edit recordings!! Sometimes i forget to stop the recording in class and after a few hours i notice that it has been recording for a while, I think it would be pretty useful to enable a feature to at least trim the audios we record, thank you.

  18. Me gustaría que la app tuviera la opción de seleccionar un texto y ponerlo en mayúsculas o en minúsculas (como word o canvas). Porque muchas veces me ha pasado que quiero escribir algo en mayúsculas y olvido ponerla en el teclado y debo borrar y escribir nuevamente pero en mayúsculas
    Pd:Me encanta la app.
