  1. Sometimes when I add a photo and use the pen, the photo moves around randomly, which is inconvenient. Please add a photo pinning function!

  2. It would be very helpful to have more possibilities to customize an format typed text. The current way of typing text does work but notes often look bulky and there is no good way to change it.

    Something like Markdown, more bullet point levels, "fit text to lines"... would make hybrid hand-written and typed notes much easier.

  3. 虽然goodnotes 6提供了直尺以及形状工具,但对于绘图作业,这些工具仍然不够。希望添加圆规,量角器等工具,以便绘制出精准尺寸的形状。

  4. Include both an image and a text box on the front of a flashcard (e.g., an image with a related question) would greatly enhance flexibility!!

  5. A search option for flashcards, similar to the notebook search, would make it much easier to find specific cards, especially in large sets.

  6. I’ve been enjoying Goodnotes for most of my classes, however I find when it comes to taking notes for my electric circuit analysis classes, my drawing ability on a tablet starts to lack. So I suggest including symbols for general ECE components into the shapes library OR have an option to create custom shapes (more applicable than just ECE) that could be added to the shapes library. I enjoy the shape-snap function because it’s quick, and I need that for those fast paced lectures.

  7. Hello
    I'm a user who was using a good note
    I hope that this feature will come out with good notes
    I'm using tape function as follows
    If I click tape function, Then, the tape function of the item disappears and appears, so it's very convenient
    But I think I'm going to disappear again at once again, so I think it's a little uncomfortable
    If any of the other buttons or tape functions are included, I suggest what it would be like to use the functions mentioned above

  9. It’s almost 2025 and GoodNotes has no feature to smooth and stabilize writing with the Apple Pencil. A lot of people prefer to hand write notes as using ‘scribble’ can be tedious at times, especially to those with poor handwriting which GoodNotes seems to ensure regardless of how well you write. I find it confusing that this wasn’t added a long time ago as it’s not a difficult feat compared to something like ‘word complete’ or other AI technology they have implemented is…

  11. Can you change the "Remove all tape" button to a toggle, or make a separate toggle tool to temporarily remove/transparent all tape so when we are not using it, we have the option of reading our notes fully without having to delete all tape and reapply them when needed.

    I love the tape feature and I believe it is very useful, but it would be time-consuming to click 'Remove all tape' and reapply them back, or manually tap on each individual tapes when you want to reveal everything when you're read all your notes and when you want to cover…

  12. I recently received a Samsung Galaxy tablet from the workplace for use. I am an ipad user at home. I had no problem with downloading goodnote app when using ipad. However, downloading the Goodnote app from a Galaxy tablet took me a while. It required me to access my Samsung or Google email accounts to download the app. Since I don't have a Samsung account, it took me another few minutes to download the app through my Google account. I need clarification on why iPad users can freely download the app while Galaxy tablet users must log in to a…

  13. To be able to upload an image/pdf and have AI generate a copy of the text within that image/pdf to be able to copy and paste it. I often find myself having to re-type something from an image or an app (that doesn’t allow me to copy) so having this feature would work wonders. Brandfolder.com have an offer of 5 free uses a day for extracting text from a file, if you would like to try it! (:

  14. Just like the laser pen but stays on the page until I turn it off. This way, I can cover the notes with tape and work through my calculations with a temporary pen without messing up my notes.

  17. When opening only one file, the location of the closed file and the location of the three dots on the split screen on the iPad are too close to each other, so it is easy to click wrong!

  19. I would like there to be a text recognition function (OCR) inside Goodnotes 6 so that it is possible to search for paragraphs of text in the various documents by writing certain words in the search bar, even if the PDF I am searching for is in non-editable image format (a bit like what is done with the iPhone gallery app)

    Also a function to convert the texts of non-editable PDFs into copyable and editable text but at the same time having careful attention to not modify the layout of the page, such as PDF X-CHANGE FOR Windows

  20. I noticed that while scrolling through large documents with the toolbar in the downward position, the scroll bar tends to disappear behind the toolbar. The scroll bar then becomes impossible to ‘grab’ without manually scrolling to a higher point in the document where the scroll re-emerges again.
    I left a few screenshots to try and illustrate this issue.
    Thank you in advance !
