  2. Have the pen colours and highlighter colours be able to be organised into different colour palettes. Also be able to have different presets for different notebooks!

  3. Since the newest update, the straightening of the highlighting tool has been "improved", i.e. when highlighting and holding at the end of the line, the shape resembles the original handwriting with more details. But that brings a rather glaring downside: when marking, one usually does not highlight in a perfectly straight line but rather with multiple bumps etc. When holding now, the highlighter often is not converted into a straight line through the text but rather a bumpy line with multiple edges and curves. It therefore does not go straight through the text anymore.

    It would be lovely, if GoodNotes…

  4. For some reason, after the recent update, the pencil tool's color has become very light, and there's no setting to adjust it. I hope you can make the pencil color darker, or add an option to adjust its darkness/opacity.

  5. I had this posted some time ago, and then someone mistakenly merged it into an unrelated feature, so I have to recreate it.

    The idea is simply to join pages of a PDF in vertical scroll such that the seam is either invisible or a thin line, and importantly to allow writing to bridge the page seam. Obviously the writing would break in terms of pdf pages, but so long as the break is invisible in vertical scroll, it would allow me to both use the white space between pages, but also to draw reference lines from the bottoms of…

  6. It seems as if the maximum text size in text field is 100. I’d really appreciate if the max size would be increased.

  7. I am left-handed and when I zoom in to write with the Apple Pencil, the page always snaps back to the center automatically.
    This makes it very hard to start writing on the far left side of the page, because I constantly end up writing at the edge.

    It would be very helpful if the page could be freely positioned horizontally (left/right) while zoomed in, without snapping back to the center.
    An option to disable automatic centering or a dedicated left-handed writing mode would greatly improve the writing experience for left-handed users.

  9. Bring back the ability to:

    Place an element that was saved from a text box
    Edit the text box
    Save it as a new element

    This feature was available in GN5. Please bring it back. It makes it easy to expand my text box based element library.

  10. When writing a cross a solid thick line , some separation between the handwriting and the thick line is needed so for example the white outline around a dark letter will visually separate the handwriting from a line behind it. Outlined handwriting does not seem to be supported as of now.

  11. There used to be 2 options to Type on a page, the Text Box and the whole screen text field. It used to be so easy to acces the whole page typing mode, and to edit it later on, which it now isnt. Having one button to get back to the feature would save so much time and ones work flow, because the way you access it right now is really inconvenient. Same thing goes for the text box - this little widget with options to edit the text font etc. is always in the middle of the screen covering…

  12. Allow text boxes to move from page to page without lasso tool. Since the text box is already a moveable item it would be nice to be able to move it from page to page without it disappearing. The lasso seems like an unnecessary extra step

  15. Minimum and Maximum size of the pencil and adaptive size when zooming from very close to far away.

  18. Please create gestures for SHIFT, TAB, RETURN and CAPS LOCK for Apple Pencil in Scribble mode when using textbox.

    If one is trying to keep notes neat by using textbox instead of pen, this system becomes very clunky. If you want to abbreviate, make a list or write notes in an organized fashion on the fly, like in class lectures for instance, you have to use Apple Pencil with assistance from either an external hardware keyboard or the touch screen keyboard. It slows everything down. I sometimes miss valuable information fiddling around with these keyboards.

    I’ve tried using handwriting conversion…

  20. Hello, I recently upgraded to GoodNotes 6 and encountered several usability regressions that are severely impacting my workflow. I would like to request clarification and support regarding the issues below.

    Issues
    1. The Text Box tool automatically switches back to the Lasso tool after one use.
    When inserting multiple text boxes consecutively, I must manually reselect the Text Box tool every time. This significantly disrupts productivity.
    2. Bulk font editing using the Lasso tool is no longer available.
    In previous versions, selecting multiple text items and changing their font at once was possible. This feature was essential for efficient editing,…
