  2. When importing a document to Goodnotes, besides “import to current” and “import to a new document”, also add the ability to “import to existing document” and browse to the document and page where you want to insert. This would be more convenient than having to open the document/page you want before importing. That interrupts my work flow. Thank you.

  3. Please (re-) add the functionality of being able to specify the "Zoom Window Return Height" to custom templates into Goodnotes 6.

    It was there in GN5 (https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/201565249-Adjusting-Zoom-window-return-height-for-a-template) but missing from GN6

  4. 建議:可唔可以固力打字/寫字/圖片範圍唔移動(寫字同埋翻頁果陣會郁黎郁去)。
    同埋想要自動每行加列點(如果我需要果陣)。

  5. A new tool to “fold” pages vertically or horizontally to divide the page into a customizable number of rows/columns. This would be helpful for creating tables etc.

  6. I would rather have lined note cards than blank ones because everytime I want to create a study set, they are always slanted and not in neat lines of words.

  7. Hey everyone, I’ve been reading up on HGH injections and how they’re being used in anti-aging therapies. It sounds pretty promising, but I’m curious if anyone here has actually tried it for that purpose. I’ve seen some glowing reviews online, but I’m a bit skeptical about whether these injections really deliver on their promises. Are the effects truly noticeable, and do they last long-term? Also, are there any legitimate studies that back up the claims? I’d love to hear some real experiences or insights, especially since this isn’t something to take lightly.

  9. It would be great if the slider allowed options of pen size going up by 0.25's. Sometimes the right size isn't a full 0.5 larger. I really need a 4.75 haha.

  11. I would love to be able to use the lasso tool to select a handwritten word in a notebook and have that take me to a particular section in my notes. I know you can link to a certain page, but from my knowledge the link must be typed and I would like to be able to be able to link to a section of the screen. This could maybe be done by zooming into a certain section that you want to link to and having a button up the top allowing you to save that position in the screen…

  12. I wish for an interactive page numbering tool, that let's you place a field for autogenerated page numbers in your document or just a section of it.

    Here is my idea (translated by google):
    I love taking notes at university with Goodnotes. However, I find it cumbersome to add page numbers by hand to large documents. I use my own template for Goodnotes, which has a free field for page numbers at the bottom. I would like a function in Goodnotes that allows me to automatically generate page numbers and place them where I want.
    My idea includes a kind…

  13. I heard about Goodnotes from Samuel Suresh, and one of the things that impressed me was the ability to quickly create digital designs that combine handwriting and solid backgrounds that would be much more difficult by hand. Here is an example video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mHPO69egAcA. Thing is, Goodnotes has abysmal shape support. Every application I’ve ever used that has shape support you can change the fill and usually stroke color. Not Goodnotes.

    To the GoodNotes Team: Is improved shape support on the future roadmap? Take Freeform: You can quickly add zillions of shapes which are fully customizable. You don’t need to…

  14. Please add a feature where you can attach a blank sheet (either the same size or slightly smaller) directly next to a downloaded document. I understand that you can open the same notebook in a different window, but it is not functional to have the notes go below the document (or in my case lecture PowerPoint). It is impossible to keep my written notes organized while writing on the same slide as my notes. It is confusing and distracting. Think like a Cornell note style template, where you have room to write notes as well

  15. When using the resize tool to resize images, stickers, text, handwriting etc… the resize tool anchors from the centre so when you pull it down at the bottom it will also shoot up at the top. This makes it hard to get it to the exact size you want as you can’t predict exactly half of how much bigger you want it if that makes sense. Basically just have options on all four sides to pull out or push in the image etc…

  16. The ruler is great, but it snaps to zero if I try my mnully set it to a small angle. I have a pdf that is scanned to a slight angle, so I want to tweak the ruler to just a few degrees (less than 5)

    I know I can manually pick a specific number, but I don’t know the number. I just know if I tweak it just so…it lines up with the pdf lines. But then it snaps back to zero

    Just let me turn off snap to zero.

  17. 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…

  18. Sometimes we users forget to stop the audio recording, and wake up the next day to a notebook that has been recording for 12+ hours. Currently there is no way to trim the audio recording. It would be great if it were possible to trim it so only the part we're interested in remains in the notebook :D

  20. 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.
