  1. It would be great to be able to share and collaborate on learning sets as it is possible for other documents. Right now, you need to export the entire file, so the other person will work from another version, and the two will not synchronise

  2. There should be an option for pdfs where goodnotes highlighter can auto highlight phrases or sentence lines like a pdf reader.

    It already can select words in pdf, might as well add this functionality.

  4. I would like to suggest a feature that prevents words from splitting. Every time I write into a text box the words get split. One part of the word is at the end of the line and the other half on a new line. It would be great if good notes added a feature for hyphenation just like Ms Word, Adobe InDesign etc.

  5. After updating to GN6 the input keep reverting back to the lasso tool. If im typing in a box and happen to tap out side the box it automatically reverts to lasso. And i have to go back and tap on the text option to start typing again.

  6. Until now i have been paying per the yearly plan, because i wasn‘t sure if i would be continuing my use of the app. Now i would like to change to the one time payment option, but i do not know where i could switch. Under payment methods in the apple store they just show me the yearly payment plans.

  7. Früher konnte man in der Gesamtübersicht immer gleich die Seiten anklicken, die man bearbeiten, versenden oder drucken wollte.
    Jetzt muss man erst auf … drücken und das bearbeiten ermöglichen. Schade, das war vorher viel einfacher!

  9. Es wäre schön wenn sie es für Tablet Nutzer ermöglichen, wie bei iPads mehrere Fenster öffnen zu können oder eine Autokorrektur für Tabletnutzer zu erstellen.
    Es muss fair bleiben und jeder sollte die gleiche Möglichkeiten haben goodnotes in der Schule zu verwenden

  10. In the current beta, the ability to type text directly into classic notebooks (e.g., DIN A4) has been removed. Instead, text can now only be added via individual text boxes. At the same time, you introduced the new “Text Documents” – a fantastic feature that I find very well implemented.

    However, the current setup lacks the flexibility to combine both writing methods within a notebook. Many users – myself included – like to work in a way where we write with the stylus on one page, type on the next A4 page, and then switch back to handwriting again. This…

  11. Der reine Tastaturmodus verschwindet in der Beta. Das ist schade weil die Mischung aus Tippen und schreiben immer sehr gut war. Den kann man drin lassen. Außerdem kann dieser Verbessert werden das er zum Beispiel mehr so ist wie Word

  14. Make the writing in pictures permanent, and move with the pictures if I rearrange them. It is very frustrating trying to use this feature when every little thing, moves what I have written to the background or simply moves it to another part of the picture/page where I do not want it.

    I literally only use Notability for this feature since they do not have this problem, and I wish to finally switch completely to Goodnotes!

  17. The app is nice, but worst of all, there's no visible backup option, as confirmed by other users. I hope they fix the issue of not being able to back up or control it soon, otherwise I'll have to change the app. I'm using it on a Samsung TAB S9. It also lacks Polish language support. I'll change my rating if they add the backup option.

  18. I really enjoy using Goodnotes.
    Currently, when handwriting is converted to text, the placement and size often do not align correctly with PDF templates, requiring manual adjustment.
    If you could add an auto-adjust feature—similar to PDF forms—that automatically fits text size and position to the lines, it would greatly improve usability.

  20. When auto-deselect is on, the eraser does not work. At first the erased part disappeares, only to reappear when the pencil is lifted off the IPad.
    When auto deselect is enabled, the eraser works perfectly fine, however it’s right much of a trouble to select a new tool, everytime one does a small mistake.
