  1. Can you please allow the search function to work with notes written with the pencil tool? I see the search function works for the pen, but I prefer the feel of the pencil when taking notes. Thank you.

  2. In GoodNotes 6, it would be nice if you could arrange the folders and notebooks freely in ‘Documents’ by order and not just by date, type and title.
    Many thanks, if that would be possible

  3. I would like to suggest adding a feature that allows users to copy text formatting within the app. This would greatly enhance efficiency when working with different styles and layouts.

  4. Allowing us to add tools to the zoom window like previous Goodnotes version would allow me to take notes faster instead of always leaving the window to just change the color/size or from pen to highlighter.

  5. Right now, I can't close the window from the area I'm going to tell you and it's making a lot of separation, the page is clear and not fully visible, can you reduce the area I will forward?

  6. At the moment you can't go to the open documents when you are under home. The only way to get back to your open documents is via the 'search' button, I think that should be much easier.

  8. Add toggle for permanent fit-to-screen of pages. So it won’t move when scribbling due to palm detection. It would be a great feature for some who use the app for e-book reading with note-taking like medical books.

    Double-tapping to fit the screen is only helpful on the current page but loses algnment when scrolling vertically.

  9. it will be very helpful to medical student like me to add some small examinations part or test to revise quickly. (adding links are so frustrating for this small thing)

  10. そのページに対してのみのページの追加ができると便利
    ノートを一続きではなく、フローチャートのように広げてていきたい。
    マインドマップとの統合を希望とのトピックもありましたが、
    もう少し単純に、横のページの進みに縦方向にもページを広げていけると拡張されたノートができるのではないでしょうか。

  12. I suggest to add feature for eraser tool to erase the pencil only in case I created a sketch and use pen on it, so I will be able to erase the pencil sketch only.

  13. Die Rolle der Technologie bei Klingelton-Downloads
    Die Art und Weise, wie wir Klingeltöne herunterladen, hat sich im Laufe der Jahre drastisch verändert. Früher mussten wir teure SMS-Dienste nutzen, heute ist es mit Plattformen wie Klingeltonepro.com kostenlos und einfach.

    Tipps zum Erstellen eigener Klingeltöne
    Werde kreativ! Nutze Audioschnitt-Software, um deine Lieblingspassagen aus Liedern herauszuschneiden und deinen eigenen einzigartigen Klingelton zu erstellen.

  14. iCloud is not the only storage everyone using. Please arrange a better back up option. It is a must needed.

    Many users posted about it. If you are not interested developing it please be clear and announce. If you’re interested developing it please provide the deadline.
    So customer can decide whether to keep adding more notes to this application or stop using it.

    Your answer or unanswered response will say many things to me.
    Thank you.

  15. As I am using Goodnotes daily for school work I often need to access transcripts at a later point when I am doing homework for example. Having the option to easily access my notes on my Windows PC while I am writing on another part of the page or even another page on my iPad would make working with Goodnotes a much better experience, as the collaboration feature often not works for me as intended and is a lot more time-consuming to do. I have been using OneNote before and the only think making me think about switching back to…

  16. Las personas crean flashcards a veces 100 o 1000 tarjetas y para buscar una tarjeta en específico es complicado buscar una por una para ver que dice, seria mejor una “lupa” para buscar palabras en específico.

  17. I’d love to see GoodNotes have a cool feature that pulls together all the comments in one spot. It’d make things way more fun and flexible—imagine being able to jot down a quick summary for each page or add extra notes for a quick review later, all in one go

  18. When opening any document, especially with PDFs, it would be great to have the possibility to have a separate page on the side to take notes. This page on the side sticks to every side in the notebook while scrolling and is not included while exporting.
    Especially for students, this would matter a great deal. Because, for example, we have the slides which the professor gave us in our main document inserted, and then he talks and talks. One has to write down all the stuff the professor just said down, but it isn't possible within the slide because there…

  19. I find I am always looking to go BACK to the HOME or FOLDER LIST and would like a shortcut key (i.e., CMD+___) to quickly go back a page. So for instance, I want to open several documents under a folder. I’m using the HOME button AND would like a keyboard shortcut to make that happen.
