  1. Hello,
    I have an idea on how to promote Goodnotes 6 more through social media. This would allow us to engage a wider audience of students and their parents. I am a chemical technology engineer and have been tutoring math online for 15 years. I have been using the Goodnotes app for tutoring for several years and have been very satisfied. I have recently started recording short tutorial videos in maths, chemistry and science which I create exclusively in the Goodnotes app6. The videos would be suitable to promote Goodnotes on TikTok or Instagram or Facebook. I think that in…

  2. When highlighting text written by any of the pens, the highlight should automatically go behind the text, especially on dark paper, this way it looks better and the text is more readable

  3. You need to provide an Apple Pencil that works like a signature pen. As I increase the tip sharpness in the pen settings, the pen starts behaving in the opposite way — not as it should. I'm attaching an image. Please bring this kind of pen.

  4. Share the link to a Notebook or pdf that I can share to students as View Only. Perhaps even a whole folder.
    I regularly share my Notebooks before I annotate on them to encourage students who do have Goodnotes to make their own notes, but having to select the pages of the notebook that I have been through in a lesson to then share to google drive or google classroom each time can be very time consuming.
    Having the same system as the share to collaborate except making it view only would be so useful as a teacher.

  6. I would like to suggest a new feature for GoodNotes. When the scrolling direction is set to vertical, it would be great to have an option to lock the scroll strictly to vertical movement. For example, after setting a zoom ratio, pressing a button could lock the view so that touch gestures only move the page up and down, with no side-to-side movement at all.

    The reason is that palm rejection is not perfect, and my notes often shift sideways unintentionally while writing. This feature would really improve the writing experience.

  7. Einen Taschenrechner der automatisch das Ergebnis ausgibt wenn man ein = schreibt. So wie bei dem Apple Taschenrechner auf dem iPad der es in der eigenen Handschrift schreibt. Ich und meine Klasse in der uni würden das sehr feiern

  8. Adding masking tape functionality to pointer mode would be a valuable improvement for users who frequently conduct classes, seminars, or webinars.
    It would allow a more professional, fluid interaction with the displayed material and help maintain audience engagement.

  9. Could you please consider allowing masking tape to be activated during pointer mode?
    Having to manually switch modes slows down the natural pace of a lesson or a talk. Offering direct access to masking tape without switching would provide a much smoother and more flexible experience for all users.

  10. It would be much more convenient if masking tape could be used directly in pointer mode, without the need to change tools every time.
    This small change would greatly enhance efficiency, especially when delivering lessons or explanations that require continuous interaction with the displayed content.

  11. Please enable the masking tape feature to be opened and closed even when using pointer mode, as this would make presentations and lectures far more seamless.
    Currently, having to exit pointer mode just to manage masking tape causes an unnecessary break in focus and disrupts the continuity of the session.

  13. Ich würde mir wünschen, die Funktion des Masking-Tapes auch im Pointer-Modus öffnen und schließen zu können. Bei Unterrichtseinheiten oder Präsentationen möchte ich gerne das Masking-Tape verwenden und gleichzeitig mit dem Pointer auf Inhalte hinweisen. Derzeit ist es notwendig, vom Pointer-Modus in den Stiftmodus zu wechseln, um das Masking-Tape zu benutzen, was umständlich ist. Ich wäre sehr dankbar, wenn Sie diese Verbesserung in Betracht ziehen könnten.

  14. Lors de l’utilisation du mode pointeur, je souhaiterais pouvoir ouvrir et fermer la fonction masking tape. J’aimerais utiliser le masking tape tout en faisant des présentations ou des cours avec le pointeur. Actuellement, il est nécessaire de changer du mode pointeur au mode stylo pour utiliser le masking tape, ce qui rend l’opération fastidieuse. Je vous serais reconnaissant(e) d’envisager cette amélioration.

  18. We need a box for FAVOURITE TEXT STYLES.
    For my documents I use different fonts but each font is associated with a different text size and line spacing. it's very difficult for me to change the text and every characteristic each time in order to have the style I want, instead it would be very useful if I had a box with my favourites.

  19. Dear programmers,

    Please, Allows us to use shortcut to change colors while using Keyboard for take notes. That’s really useful… we need to use hand/pencil to change colors and this take some time.
    Example: cmd + r (change to red) or maybe we could setup our preferences though
    Bye bye bets programmers in intire swift world. Haha
