  1. There have been several instances where I have tried to write on the left margin of my paper and since I am left-handed, I cannot move the paper enough to the right for my preferred zoom level to write. If you zoom in a lot to where it fills your screen, there is no ability to extend the paper any more than the margin of your screen.

  2. For Goodnotes 6, the search function is way poorer than it was in Goodnotes 5. It was now harder to search for some words that I can easily find in Goodnotes 5. I don’t want to have a downgrade though so please, please improve the search button to find more accurate.

    If it’s not too much to ask, could we have an option as well to change color of searched words in search button? Because it’s only in orange color and it’s hard if we we’re using orange highlighter.

    Thank you so much.

  3. Please add One-time payment directly from the App Store, so one doesn‘t have to create a GoodNotes Account. Students under 16 can‘t buy GoodNotes

  4. Before, I could use the highlighter, close the toolbar, reopen the toolbar, and still find the highlighter selected. Now when I close and reopen the toolbar, the pen is selected.
    Would you please fix this?
    Thanks

  5. GoodNotes takes forever to Sync updated documents between two devices, forever being several hours. This contradicts the entire functionality. Had this problem with several different devices and versions (since several years).
    I find it infuriating that I am forced to update Goodnotes and pay money again and again and this issue is still not fixed.

  7. ~just like SAT interactive learning, a MCAT interactive learning system to help student memorize many things like pathways in bio/chem, equations for physics/math, & also some flashcards could really help. Practice problems for bio, chem, and physics

  8. ~It would be better to have multiple audio recording split up, instead of having one huge line of recordings. Having them split up will give the option to pin point exactly the part of the recording you want to go back to.
    ~Improve the audio recording to go pixel by pixel so the notes are better synced together with the voice.

  9. We should be able to add multiple elements or stickers and make them the same size with a precision sizing tool. If I put down 3 memo pad stickers and I want all 3 to be the same size, there shouldn’t be a constant resizing from the corner sizer. We could click on the sticker or element and put in a font size or pixel dimensions.
    Or an option as we are placing it to choose the size. Either way something to keep stickers and other elements consistent in size from page to page and even on the same page…

  10. I would prefer some Templates in other Languages like German, French etc.
    The most Templates can't be used for foreigners.
    The Cook Book for Example is a good Idea, but it would be better if it ist in different languages.

  12. Hello,
    we math teachers need a drawing tool in the app that can be used to draw a circle with a fixed radius and a circle center. A locking function would also be important.
    Is this planned for the next updates to Goodnotes 6?
    Best regards

  13. I think the current GN6 toolbar, status bar area takes up a bit too much space, especially in landscape mode. It almost feels like 1/5 of the screen is gone.

    An alternative workaround in GN5 was not using tabs, this saved up a good chunk of space. I am unable to find such an option on GN6.

    I say this in comparison to other competitor apps which have a much smaller toolbar area where the emphasis is on the paper/notebook itself, and not the app around it.

    I think this option would really benefit a lot of people.

  20. When annotating an image, and then clicking on the image, the writing gets brought to the "back" layer, and annotations are lost. Keep the writing on the picture as if it's already grouped and part of the image.
