  1. Lets say that I highlight some text or underline some text or handwrite something in a text box. If i move the location of the text box or make some changes in the text box, the text moves, but the highlights or handwritten text does not change accordingly. This seriously lowers the ability to work with the text box.

    I guess i can use the Lasso tool to move the text box around, but i still cannot edit the text within the text box without disturbing the highlights or underlines.

  2. I’ve been using GoodNotes 6 on my iPad Air 11-inch M2 with iPadOS 18.3.2 and while I love the app’s handwriting tools and organization, there’s one feature missing that I’ve found incredibly useful in both Microsoft OneNote and Apple Notes: auto-scrolling pages. Right now, when I’m writing in GoodNotes, I have to manually drag the page to move to the next section or page, which feels clunky and interrupts my flow—especially during long note-taking sessions like lectures or brainstorming.

    In both OneNote and Apple Notes, the page automatically scrolls as I write near the edge, seamlessly expanding the canvas or…

  4. • It would be really useful, if you could scroll through all of the flash card in a learning set without having to switch to the menu.
    • Furthermore, it would also be nice to hide the answers, so you can find certain informations on your flash cards faster.
    • It would be nice if you could change the background of flash cards.
    • The adaptation to smaller screens needs to be improved.

    otherwise, the tool is great!

    4. when i use my iPad and share the screen with a different app the buttons to go to the next card are on top of the other buttons???

  7. We would like if we could create a sub page to the uploaded slide, where we can add notes without covering the existed infos on the slide. It is like a notebook for the notebook.

  8. I write in a right to left language, which means every time I open a new page I have to change the direction, the font, the size and boldness.
    Please enable an option of setting and saving a default

  9. As a speaker of a right to left language, every time I open a new page I have to manually change the font, the size; the direction and the boldness (which is automatically on and I dont want it). It would be amazing to have the option to format my style once and keep it as default

  10. How accurate is GoodNotes' handwriting recognition feature for searching through your notes?

    Factors Affecting Accuracy: Handwriting recognition accuracy in GoodNotes varies depending on factors like handwriting style, the clarity of the pen strokes, and the language used. If a user has very neat, uniform handwriting, the recognition will generally be more accurate. However, for more stylized or inconsistent handwriting, accuracy may decrease. For example, cursive writing might be harder to decipher compared to block letters.

  11. Ich hätte sehr gerne die Möglichkeit, nicht nur pauschal EINE Formatvorlage festzulegen, die direkt in einem neuen Dokument erstellt wird, sondern die Vorlage je Ordner festlegen zu können. Ich benutze Goodnotes für die Schule und habe für jedes Schulfach einen einzelnen Ordner. In den eher text-lastigen Fächern (quasi alle außer Naturwissenschaften) tippe ich mit Tastatur und „Blankopapier-Vorlage“, und in Mathe, Physik etc. schreibe ich mit Apple Pencil auf der karrierten Vorlage. Ich fände es daher sehr nützlich, wenn ich für meine Ordner in deutsch, Englisch, Politik usw. als Format-Vorlage eine schlichte weiße Seite und für Mathe, Physik etc. eine karrierte…

  12. Inthinknthat it‘ll be useful to have the option to save items in the Marketplace on a wishlist. There are so many useful items but I don’t always have the money by hand or need to reconsider if I really need it. Therefore, a possibility to save those items would be perfect.

  14. Goodnotes doesn't need to reinvent the wheel or have us do something weird. Just implement CMD-C, CMD-X and CMD-V so we can move many pages at once instead of dragging one at a time or other workarounds that involve trashing pages and inserting pages.

  16. Currently, Goodnotes does not support searching handwritten text on post-its, limiting their usefulness. Adding this feature would greatly benefit learners by allowing them to quickly find key ideas. Additionally, post-its should serve as more than just comment bubbles—they could function as dynamic, movable notes, similar to Heptabase. Users could categorize, search, and transfer post-its across pages or notebooks, creating meaningful connections between ideas. This enhancement would transform post-its into a powerful tool for organizing and linking knowledge across different subjects.

  17. I think a feature that allows us to change the language of notebooks would be helpful because I started mine in the wrong language and now can’t change it

  18. 단락의 줄간격 조절을 0.1이 아니라 1포인트 단위로 조정하게 해주세요.
    0.1 단위의 미세 조정은 눈의 띄지도 않을 정도로 작은 변화입니다.
    물론 스크롤을 움직여서 1포인트 단위의 조정이 가능하긴 하지만 1포인트를 조정하기 위해서는 아주 작은 움직임을 줘야 해서 원하는 숫자로의 조정이 너무 어렵습니다.

  19. Wenn ich ein Bild einfüge und darauf mit dem Stift schreibe, wird das Bild ab und zu automatisch ausgewählt und ich bewege dann automatisch das Bild anstatt darauf zu schreiben. Das passiert mir seit der neuen Funktion dass man das Bild auswählen kann indem man darauf mit dem Finger klickt, anstatt dass man wie vor dem Update auf das Bild Ikon drücken muss, um ein Bild zu bewegen/ zu verändern. Bitte diese alte Funktion wieder einführen!
