  1. Currently, when you write a comment of a doc it blocks the whole screen when you open it. When I add a comment to a doc it would be helpful to have it to the side where it doesn’t obstruct the whole page and I can read the comment while also looking at my document. I think utilizing the gray area around a doc would be a great place for this.

  2. I wish the items inside the element windows were bigger.
    When you need to search for a sticker or a sentence, it is always very difficult to pick the right one straight away . Stickers should fit the window.
    Thank you

  3. Interactive buttons would be wonderful that delete when touched to reveal answers underneath. it would be awesome if some could make noise such as clapping or buzzer sounds to help make lessons more interactive. The sticky notes can be used to reveal but you have to move them and then they do that crazy copy feature and get smaller. it is very annoying and would greatly improve if a double tap or two finger touch could disappear them. Thank you

  5. It is INCREDIBLY frustrating to REPEATEDLY go through the processes of (1) complete the "Contributing Handwriting" feature multiple times, (2) add Custom Words to the Personal Dictionary, and (3) when a red line appears tapping on the redline then "More" --> "Add to Dictionary" --> then complete the "Add Custom Word" field AND THE RED LINE REMAINS after tapping Save. Please know this REPEATED experience has frustrated me to the point of looking at alternative handwriting recognition apps or go back to keeping a paper journal.
    I'm in a professional occupation where keeping a journal is essential, and repeatedly going…

  6. Please add a setting to move the page to the left/right side of the display while using the editor so you don’t have to put your hand next to the device while writing.

  7. Hi there,

    Being able to collaborate on a documents is excellent.

    I would love the ability to be able to callaborate over bluetooth though. Unfortunately we do not always have the internet available when we are collaborating, and even when we do, we would rather not use the data.
    I imagine this would also result in faster updates when editing a document.

    Thanks

  8. I REALLY REALLY need this feature because I used text boxes as headings in my notes and it wastes wayyyy too much time going in to change the colour each time

    It's such a simple feature I can't believe it hasn't been implemented yet T^T. I would pay ungodly amounts of money for this because it would seriously save me SO MUCH time for note taking

  10. I followed your instructions on how to create a link between my iPad document and the Windows version. I turned on "Share Link to Collaborate" on my iPad. Then, I got the message "Uploading document...Please wait a moment." After 1/2 hour, the message did not change and I exited. Is this a bug?

  13. Add this to suggestion box: make It easier to add a current page I am working on to the templates. Right now I have to export and then import back in and that is annoying and useless. Thanks.

  14. Sometimes I want to jot notes , but there isn’t enough empty space. Memo is nice but I dont want the memo to cover up the words in my document. Someone suggest expandable memo but then it may be easily missed when rereading the document.
    I suggest a feature where we can add memo at the side of the pdf (outside of margin), function is similar to expandable page but more aesthetic. and it can be chosen to show or dismiss with something like a sidebar option. When dismissed, just the original pdf will be shown. When the option is…

  15. The reason I'd like this feature is because I have Parkinson's Disease. And as a student in University; I struggle a lot in keeping a nice and tidy handwriting when taking notes. If yall could help me out by voting for this, it would be hugely appreciated!

  16. This feature would allow you to create a space between handwriting and images that have been placed on a page, allowing you to add more information.
    For example, let's say you have a numbered list:
    1. Add eggs
    2. Bake
    And perhaps you want to add something in between number one and two on the list, instead of having to erase number 2 or lasso it and move it down, imagine if one could simply tap between the two and push it down, similar to a feature that exists in onenote. This would make rapid edits and changes to a…

  17. Please (re-) add the functionality of being able to specify the "Zoom Window Return Height" to custom templates into Goodnotes 6.

    It was there in GN5 (https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/201565249-Adjusting-Zoom-window-return-height-for-a-template) but missing from GN6

  18. 建議:可唔可以固力打字/寫字/圖片範圍唔移動(寫字同埋翻頁果陣會郁黎郁去)。
    同埋想要自動每行加列點(如果我需要果陣)。

  19. The ruler is great, but it snaps to zero if I try my mnully set it to a small angle. I have a pdf that is scanned to a slight angle, so I want to tweak the ruler to just a few degrees (less than 5)

    I know I can manually pick a specific number, but I don’t know the number. I just know if I tweak it just so…it lines up with the pdf lines. But then it snaps back to zero

    Just let me turn off snap to zero.

  20. It is difficult to write in corners of a page while resting your hand on the screen. The ability to rearrange the page to a position where the corner of the page is near the center of the screen would improve user accessibility and comfort while writing.
