  1. I have some feedback and features that I would like to see added to the current (experimental) math conversion tool. Currently when you convert handwritten math to typed text it sometimes doesn't include all the math, or read some of it wrong, so I tried editing the latex text that can be seen at the bottom right other converting, but I am unable to edit it. Therefore, it would be useful to be able to edit the typed math right after conversion to be able to rectify some errors in the Al's interpretation and/or simply add things.

    Also, please make…

  3. There is already a feature of tracking handwritings when replaying the audio recordings. But it is more useful to know which slides/pages you are looking at when the audio is recorded, especially for med school.

    That way, there is no need to write each intricate details that your lecturer has said. If you’re reviewing, and you found a page that is pretty confusing, you just need to replay the recording of that page. Right now, you still need to listen back minutes of recordings just to search for a short second long clip. It is pretty time consuming.

  7. I would love to have more physical symbols like Ω, etc. in the math recognition.

    I know that it’s a lot, but it would at least make things simpler if u could edit the latex

  8. It would be great if we could add a means to share or back up the slots themselves stored as pen color codes or type pen color codes. If you back up your iPad with iTunes, you can save the color code, but I think it's a function that you need when you want to reinstall and use the app.

  10. Goodnotes 5 has been superb as a notetaking app. Goodnotes 6 is following the path of other apps to add features, change structures and increase file sizes with cosmetic changes that don’t improve efficiency or effectiveness. Microsoft OneNote has many features and much of what Goodnotes 6 offers. The extra features don’t improve navigation or effectiveness and make the app clunky. Rather than have one app that must DO everything, if you want to add features, create two. One that is great for notetaking and one that adds the frills, takes extra space and add “glitter”

    Goodnotes has been superb…

  11. When importing a pdf into Goodnoes, they should by default go into the active folder, not into “Documents” root.
    You guys had it right in Goodnotes 5 but not in 6, I have had to revert back to 5 until this is solved. When it works properly, I can upgrade.

  12. Requesting having a feature to view multiple pages at a time and have a draggable scroll bar to run through the pages quickly like you would do in a normal notebook. The current at a glance menu (four square one) allows you to see 4 pages in a single row which, depending on how big we write isn't enough to understand what the content is on each page.

  15. pen smooth streamline procreate stabilization .

    There are a pages and pages of people requesting this as an improvement. They are scattered into many posts, but they are all trying to say the same thing!!

    The problem is, people aren't sure how to describe what they are looking for. It took me a while to discover they are called streamline and stabilization... and I have Procreate. Most people are typing in web searches like 'how can I make my writing smoother' or 'better handwriting with pen'. This feature is what they are looking for. It is too bad that it…

  16. When trying to purchase a one-time payment for Goodnotes 6, the only available plans are the 1-year plans. This might be due to having started with the free trial, but I am worried about losing previously-made documents.

  17. With the addition of scribble to erase, some words that I write (especially cursive) tend to be mistaken as an attempt to erase. An addition of a personalization feature where we can input specific strokes that shouldn't be treated as scribbling would be extremely helpful, as currently I cannot use the scribble-erase function unless I never use the word "the" or "those"

  18. The math font feature is great, but changing the color of the font would be very helpful so the typing could be seen on different colored pages.
    Right now the quickest option is to copy and paste the math into a text box and change it from there.

  20. Although the full page typing feature (see image below) is useful, it only supports the default Arial font currently. Please can GoodNotes allow users to change fonts for the full page typing feature?
