  2. 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.

  3. I would like to be able to lock my horizontal position as I scroll vertically along a page. If I am trying to edit a document and zoom in very close to a blank section, it is difficult to determine whether my page is moving horizontally during my vertical scrolls. A lock button to prevent horizontal scrolling or vertical scrolling in some applications of goodnotes would be helpful in having peace of mind while scrolling in a relatively blank area of a document.

  4. I can't edit the iPad notes on the Windows PC because GoodNotes Windows doesn't sync with iOS.

    Maybe it's possible to implement a system where users can sync their notes between GoodNotes client using other cloud storage platforms (OneDrive, GDrive etc.)

  9. 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!

  11. 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.

  12. Hi Goodnotes community,
    I would like to ask if could be possible to add an extension of lasso tool, that I would refer to as a "Lasso linker". I think this would be certainly helpful for note taking of STEM subjects, but I'm pretty confident other people would benefit of this tool as well. The way I intend for this tool to work is simply by selecting the "Lasso linker" from the toolbar and then one would just need to select the first and second item in order to create an internal link between the two items (or an internal…

  13. Hey, it would be really nice and helpful to add Bulgarian as recognised language. I see that Russian is available which also uses the Cyrillic alphabet, hopefully Bulgarian will be available soon too!

  14. 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…

  16. In GoodNotes 6, it would be nice if you could arrange the folders and notebooks freely in ‘Documents’ by order and not just by date, type and title.
    Many thanks, if that would be possible

  17. Allowing us to add tools to the zoom window like previous Goodnotes version would allow me to take notes faster instead of always leaving the window to just change the color/size or from pen to highlighter.

  18. Right now, I can't close the window from the area I'm going to tell you and it's making a lot of separation, the page is clear and not fully visible, can you reduce the area I will forward?

  19. At the moment you can't go to the open documents when you are under home. The only way to get back to your open documents is via the 'search' button, I think that should be much easier.

  20. Add toggle for permanent fit-to-screen of pages. So it won’t move when scribbling due to palm detection. It would be a great feature for some who use the app for e-book reading with note-taking like medical books.

    Double-tapping to fit the screen is only helpful on the current page but loses algnment when scrolling vertically.
