  1. The typing function of this app is nearly unusable. There are too many flaws to list, but the most frustrating is that when typing, lines do not automatically carry over to the next page, and when selecting the "Add Page to Carry Over" button, the following page is often formatted differently and/or missing lines. Additionally, pasting from a different GoodNotes document with the same format results in missing or "hidden" lines of text. This is a premium priced note taking app with many (useless) features, paying users expect basic functions to perform properly. I switched from Notability for reasons less…

  2. It would be really useful to have the same expanded font choice for a keyboard entering and handwritten text to typed text that you offer using the text tool in the box. I’m a creative person, and I like to choose my font to type in.

  3. I would like to request the addition of a feature in Goodnotes 6 that allows users to apply the AI-enhanced handwriting to correctly spelled words, not just the misspelled ones that are automatically corrected by the current "Spellcheck" function. The existing AI-powered writing aid significantly improves legibility while maintaining the writer's unique style, but currently activates only when a spelling mistake is made. Introducing an opt-in setting to extend this AI-enhancement to all handwritten words, regardless of their spelling accuracy, would offer users the benefit of consistently legible and polished notes, thereby enriching the overall Goodnotes 6 experience.

  5. It's just annoying to have to scroll with the mouse on windows. I don't have a touch screen, at least add the option to hold the spacebar and drag the page like every other app. I love good notes but not having this is just like making my money not worth it. I pay for goodnotes but have to struggle every 15 seconds to rearange the page with the scroll sliders that disapear after 2 seconds.

  7. It is difficult to write in corners of a page while resting your hand on the screen. The ability to rearrange the page to a position where the corner of the page is near the center of the screen would improve user accessibility and comfort while writing.

  8. Many engineering, computer and data science, maths, and other technical degrees do a great deal of programming. I love writing all my notes in Goodnotes, but all my code snippets are all over the place. Sometimes I do try incorporate code blocks in my notes, but the process of screenshotting, cropping, and pasting is a hassle. Having a feature (even one that can be downloaded) would be a massive convenience for a lot of users. Just a basic block that can be inserted into a note that displays a filename space. The tools tab can be loaded with, say, three…

  9. As a teacher, I use GoodNotes on the board by mirroring the app on the display. It would be great if I could directly display a timer for the remaining editing time for my students in GoodNotes. While the split-screen solution with the clock app works, I would prefer a small timer within GoodNotes itself.

  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.

  12. I want to backup my notebooks periodically to my encrypted drive service proton drive however the automatic backup feature only supports a select few services. I know supporting new services can be difficult so I noticed that my iPad has a folder that my proton drive app already automatically syncs to my cloud. If you could backup periodically to this folder on my iPad it would work universally.

  15. Free templates for various subjects such as engineering and calendars, or just inserting graphs.

    Free elements and stickers and sticky note options(maybe change colors and format)

    And washi tape would be AWESOME to customize!!!

    I’ve also seen implemented GIFS and internet searches straight from the app!

  17. Goodnotes autoformats email addresses to links whether I want it to or not, and it displays links with dotted underlines. When I export a file to an image, it's not going to preserve the link (it's an image) but the ugly dotted underline is still there. Going through the links one by one and declaring them to be non-links is extremely tedious. Please, return to the clean default text formatting when exporting!

  19. Responsiveness, sleekness, simplicity, is what goodnotes is know for please keep that as highest priority. It’s starting to feel very choppy after each update, friendof mine has Goodnotes 5 currently, in comparison there seems to be a big Fps or Responsive Gab, please fix priorities and not just add irrelevance for such experience.

  20. Dear Developers and Desginers,

    I would love to be able to insert text in between lines already drawn. Otherwise I have to manually move text and try to insert the rest, IF there is space on the page.

    I understand that enabling this feature might mess up pages. Well, I would suggest to try to use AI to solve this problem.

    Or you might enable the feature while warning the user that the pages might get messed up. To do this you have to treat different pages as if they were one infinite page, I know... So, I suggest that…
