  1. Hello Everyone!
    I write happily and motivated, because Goodnotes made my engineering studies better and more enjoyable.
    With this mindset, this thought also comes: Constrain objects to each other.
    E.g: I have a line, and I draw a circle. I want them to align tangentially. This would be awesome, since the shape recognition works amazing. Tangent is just one thing, it would be good to see other constraints, like perpendicular, parallel, concentric, midpoints, intersections, or maybe the option to define a distance between shapes/points. I know the app should remain a note taking app, but with the intro of math…

  2. Right now, one can select text and press "mark". I want to perform the same action just by using the apple pencil without any effortful interim steps. Using the normal marker right now, I have to focus on drawing neatly to receive uniform marking results that are straight and neat.

    • Presets of tool combinations: Allow users to save and access frequently used combinations of tool settings directly from the toolbar.

    • Example 1: A preset for creating diagrams could include a dashed line, red color, 5pt thickness, and the ruler tool enabled.

    • Example 2: A preset for annotating text could include a yellow highlighter with 50% opacity and a black pen set to 2pt thickness.

    • Time-saving feature: Eliminates the need to manually reconfigure tools each time, streamlining workflows!!!!

    • Enhanced usability: Tailor tool combinations for specific tasks and access them quickly with a single click.

    (My problem: I have three pen sizes…

  3. We can write in the infinite grey space on either side of the documet. Doesn't have to show up when printing anything (only print out the page / inserted document). Or have numerous options to format it differently like OneNote when printing things out with annotations on the side.

  4. Add GIFs and videos to documents that reproduce! Have a tab where you can write without modifying the original document, similar to "Ask Goodnotes," and allow this window to follow the text being written along with the audio (for example the "notes" option that is on canva). Improve how text boxes are displayed on Mac compared to iPad, as they currently shift position. Enhance the AI for studying to promote active recall (THEA is an excellent example for this). There should also be an option for Goodnotes to automatically generate flashcards from a document.

  5. Would it be possible to add an option in the near future to save the automatic backup not only to different cloud services, but also locally, for example to Apple files?

  6. There is an issue with the usage of the Apple Pencil Pro.

    First, when using the pen with the hover feature is enabled, the writing experience feels significantly different compared to when it is disabled. Specifically, enabling the hover feature causes severe strokes or unintended extensions in the written text.

    Second, please fix the pencil experience. There is an issue with drawing curved shapes, where part of the shape turns into a dotted line. Additionally, the pencil tool appears too faint, leading to reduced visibility.

  8. In dark mode, the contrast when clicking on the math preview is poor. The font color should be white, not dark.

  10. I think that the file method is time-consuming, especially if the material is divided into more than one part, I suggest a method such as a divide.

  11. 앱스토어 리뷰를 보시는지 모르겠어서 사이트에 와서 글 남깁니다.

    1. 올가미기능의 작동오류 --> 올가미기능을 사용해서 도형을 옮기려는데 인식이 안 됩니다. 우연찮게 한 번 올가미에 묶여서 옮겨도, 다시 같은 위치에 시도하면 또 안 됩니다. 제발 수정해주세요. 전에는 잘 작동하던 기능이 이제는 오류가 난다는게 어이가 없습니다.
    2. 굿노트6로 업데이트한 후에, 도형을 복제 시 뜨는 팝업에서 바로 색수정을 할 수 없게되었습니다. 다시 기존에 가능했던 것처럼 바꿔주세요. 왜 생산성이 저하되고, 되지도 않는 올가미로 한 번 더 선택해서 시도하게 하시는지 모르겠네요.

    개선부탁합니다.

    원래 하시던 걸 잘 하시면서 새로운 걸 도입 하는게 올바른 성장방향이라고 생각합니다. 부탁합니다.^^ 왜 기존에 잘 사용하던 걸 쓰고있는데 화가 나는지 모르겠습니다.

  12. Just like how we can undo a stroke through the Apple Pencil pro palette, can we get both the undo and redo? I tend to accidentally undo too many strokes and it would be nice to have the redo function right there rather than reaching up to the toolbar. I know it’s not a critical feature but would be nice for efficiency! Thank you!

  13. I'm using the Good Note 6 as an iPad, and I usually take a lot of notes. Please add an Apple Pencil tilt deactivation function in the standard pencil. I want to prevent the writing from getting thicker depending on the tilt because it's uncomfortable to take notes.

  16. Please change the flash card mode so we can have both writing mode (that is the mode that doesn’t require the text button in drawing mode) and at the same time paint over what is written.

    It should be the same as the normal notebooks but in the flash card mode.

    Also, it should have templates too, so you can change your flash cards background to for example squared or dotted paper.

    The uploaded file shows the features a flash card should have, the same ones as the notebook.

  19. Sometimes I’m searching for many different textbooks and I don’t know which is already opened. I really wish that you can choose to leave the tabs of textbooks open while navigating through all the folders. It would be also a lot easier to get back to the document without opening a second one or going back through folders to the one that’s already opened.
