  3. Currently, pages must be dragged one by one to another location in a notebook (in the Edit mode). This is quite tedious when multiple pages have to be moved elsewhere in a long notebook : you end up dragging one page from the top to the bottom of the notebook, and then repeat for every page, instead of dragging all the pages at once.

    1. Exported pdf lost its bookmarks.
    2. As other pdf reader application, selection of text should be possible. After selecting text, define/copy/etc.. options can be popup.

  5. Today my iPad ran out if storage space. I checked the usage page in Settings and Goodnotes was taking up 4GB of space. A few minutes later the iPad automagically launched into "cleaning" mode for Goodnotes and then, voila, the app's usage had dropped to 65MB. I create a lot of big files in Goodnotes but regularly clean them out when I'm done. It would be great if I could manually trigger a cleaning of the app's cache so that it doesn't grow to several GB again.

  6. Hi GoodNotes team,

    I’m a heavy GoodNotes user on [iPad / Mac / iPhone] and I absolutely love using the app for studying and taking math/technical notes.

    I’ve noticed that GoodNotes currently doesn’t support inline LaTeX rendering in regular typed text (for example, writing $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ in a text box and having it render as nicely formatted math). I know you have great math / equation tools, but those generate separate equation objects rather than letting us mix math and normal text seamlessly in the same paragraph.

    For students and professionals in math, statistics, physics, engineering, and…

  7. Goodnotes has become more cumbersome and slower with the latest update. I now need two clicks to switch between pens and the laser pointer. When I have images, there is now always a white border at the top of the projection, and I first have to switch to read-only mode to display the image in full screen.
    The fold-out toolbox also takes up space on the screen.
    Adding to favorites also requires one more click.
    The updates have only increased the amount of work involved and represent a deterioration. On the other hand, I don't need AI or sound recordings.…

  8. Can you please implement the MathNotes feature from the iPadOS 18 Notes App in GoodNotes 6? Would be great to see it there. I love MathNotes in iPadOS 18.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. Currently in Goodnotes 6, when importing a document, the default location seems to always be the main document folder. In goodnotes 5, the default import location would be whatever folder we’re opened in or created at the time.

    I would like that back because I think sometimes when we’re in a hurry, we would import PDF as new documents and because the default location is the main documents folder… we would have to go back back back to the main folder and move the files to our intended folder. Which is a huge waste of time.

  13. There you be a way to make multiple flashcard sets in a single flashcard box so that you can more easily separate different topics. For example if you have a textbook, you should have different sets for each chapter, and in the box all your flashcards.

  14. When writing a study set, the action of moving to the next square is not natural. i have to swipe several times to move on. I would like you to improve this. In particular, I feel uncomfortable because I don't go with two fingers when using the trackpad.

    I sincerely wish your company endless development.

    Thank you.

  15. I wish we had the ability to change the order of images, like in Microsoft Word. Instead of having to paste images in a certain order for the correct one to be on top, I wish we could click the image and either send it forward or backward.

  16. I regularly use comments to annotate on slides where there is limited space. Would it be possible to include these comments when exporting to pdf format?
    This would for instance allow me to review my notes on my pc while making summaries on goodnotes.
    Thank you!

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. when resizing the image, lines, objects, etc, make it able to flip horizontally and vertically and have the option to fix its proportions while doing so and show degrees when simply just rotating.
