  1. I hate using the fountain pen because I want all my writing to look consistent. The fountain pen has places where it's thicker and places where it's thinner and it drives me crazy. The ball point pen was way better because it was consistent. Bring it back!

  2. The new typing mode in GN6 has significantly enhanced its versatility. It would be even better if a highlight tool could be added to the typing mode, allowing users to directly apply highlights to text while typing.

  3. I would like to be able to Search my document for a word.
    Then I would like to be able to click a button and have ALL these instances be HIGHLIGHTED with the HIGHLIGHT tool with one click.

    Is is possible?
    Perhaps I've missed something.

  4. Please add a function so that we can embed audio and video files just like images into good notes. Or at least that we can link them, but embedding would way better. Thank you.

  6. Please bring back drawing thickness so that it's not under a dropdown menu. Taking notes is way more streamlined with having the 3 thickness options readily available in the toolbar

  7. Hello good notes, your goodnote 5 app is very good app for students. We need a feature like endless paper. As you know study means interlinking of topics, for that purpose we need endless paper size. Could you please avail that in next update

  8. One thing that would be great is a way that the page can be locked into place when zoomed in and using vertical scroll.

    When I take notes, I use an A4 page and double click to zoom it in and write. But one thing that annoys me so much is sometimes my hand or arm will touch the page and then the page will be shifted to the left or right.

    I propose a small lock button that allows you to lock a page in place, from moving left or right, but still keeps the vertical scroll.

  9. Flashcard Update! Please make this a permanent feature. There should be an outline so you can quickly find a card without flipping through the full size ones. Also have a way for you to save your progress. If i make a deck of 120 cards I may not have time to make it all the way through and want to come back where I left off. Also a feature to let you study only the ones you missed. And a feature to let you view them in order or randomly.

  10. It would be helpful if GoodNotes recognizes uneven handwriting and would transform it into a straight line.
    (just like the straight line function for the highlighter)

  11. Like in Quizlet, could there be a progress bar for the flashcards? Like, the percentage of ones that are easy, good, hard, and not done yet?

    I feel like there is so so much potential to improve the flashcards feature!!!

  12. how many tries you need to draw a good looking curly brackets? too many!!
    everyone struggle with curly brackets drawing while taking notes, having the draw and hold shape recognition would make them nicer and reduce time to write and rewrite them.
    vote for it if you draw ugly curly brackets :)

  13. When studying flash cards, it would be helpful if the flash card window only disappeared after tapping „done“. Currently, you have to be so careful not to touch the screen anywhere.

  14. Having a hexagonal would make chemistry note taking so much easier. Especially in higher level chemistry since there are so many different compounds you have to learn.

  16. I use GoodNotes to label anatomy pictures. I paste the picture into GoodNotes app on my laptop and then label the image with my iPad + Apple Pencil. Multiple times, I've labeled an image fully (takes a lot of time) and on my laptop, when trying to sync, it slightly moves the image so all of my labels are now off and impossible to re-align because when you move an image, the labels go behind it (can't see anything). It would be nice if you could merge layers (image + labels) so nothing can detach them like moving the image.

  18. By using finger and holding, it should be possible to move pictures and photos from one page to the next rather than copy, insert on new page, delete on old. That is really awkward.

  19. I am a user living in Japan.

    There is a request. It is a function to display in a spread. This is not about spread views. I want to display two consecutive pages like a book in one app. It will be very convenient when reading one document on the horizontal screen of the iPad.

    I am not good at explaining in English, so I attached an image file.

    Thank you for the great app. I will continue to use it.

  20. A lot of helpful diagrams are from imported from my photos, having the ability to search words that appear on a photo would be helpful. It really sucks having to go through every single folder and picture just to try and find the one I am looking for.
