  3. Introduce the ability to insert an mp3 audio into a document. In this way, in case it was not possible to register with the application itself, I can have the registration and the document all in one file.

  4. I am seeing people migrate to drawing apps for note taking more and more now, I am a student.

    The app “Concepts” is drawing app that has lately been covering note taking capabilities as well. They have 2 options for their tool menu:

    A “linear” toolbar (like the one on Goodnotes 6) and a tool “wheel”. The wheel expands to a wheel shaped color palette when picking colors

    Goodnotes needs to implement this option for people who want more space to navigate and take non-linear notes (like mind maps), while also keeping the regular toolbar (for people who who use…

  5. It would be great to have an option to regroup hand drawn text as one chunk of text.

    How i see it: When selecting a chunk of hand drawn arrows, we would have an option to regroup the selected vectors and merge everything as one chunk.

    It would be much easier to move things around.

  6. The Flashcards of GoodNotes 5 have now been removed in GoodNotes 6 and replaced with Study Sets, but Flashcards have a lot of advantages compared to Study Sets:
    1 . You can have an overview of Flashcards in thumbnails while seeing both the question and the answer (in Study Sets you only see the question). This helps with studying and having an overview of the set to see if it is done correctly.
    2. The questions and answers are easier and quicker to create in Flashcards by writing and cutting and pasting as fewer steps are needed as the flashcard…

  7. iOS apps normally update automatically as they become available. For some reason GoodNotes does not do this and the user either a) discovers that notes no longer sync across devices and/or b) discover app needs update by digging into the "About" panel. Normally iOS app updates are minimally impactful but I have now seen GoodNote cloud sync break twice and require manual intervention by user to discover the issue and manually update, I would like to suggest that Goodnotes adopts the process of most all other iOS apps and automatically update in background to minimize user impact.

  10. On travaille beaucoup avec des formes géométriques, et avoir par exemple le centre du cercle, carrée, etc.., des flèches ou angles, serait bien.

    Les dossiers ne peuvent pas être ranger comme on le souhaite, c’est dommage.

  15. Because there is no way to contact your company, I am putting my issue here.
    The newest version has an issue on my iPad that while handwriting with the apple pencil, portions of my writing erases without me changing pencil types. If I use the redo button, it will back up to what I just wrote. I have all the latest updates of the app and iPad installed.

  16. Hello, good note developers.
    I'm a good note user of Windows.
    I'm currently using Surface Pro, and I'm using the third generation of Surface Pen. Currently, the Good Note for Windows supports the noose function with a side button. Please make it possible to customize the function of the side button. Side buttons can be customized with various functions such as changing an eraser, changing a pen type, and changing color, not a snare. I really like the ability to use the eraser on the back. If I can customize the side buttons I want, it will be a more…

  18. Please add an option to open documents with “page width view” (just like what we have in Microsoft Word) to zoom the page so that the width of the page match the width of the screen (fit to page width).

    I use my iPad in landscape mode and whenever I open a document in Goodnotes, I have to double tap it to view the document in page width view. There should be an option to make this default. Notability opens documents in page width view without doing anything.
