  2. While using an eraser on an existing line, the whole line gets erased. Sometimes you just want to shorten it a bit and not redraw the whole thing. Especially in machine drawings etc. Converting a drawn line into just another pen mark after it’s drawn will help a lot. Please consider it.

  3. Reseach result need to improved
    I have searched my working file with '5주' and got the result of 164 from Goodnote and only 6 from flexil.

    Goodnote shows individual word result like 5 & 주, However flexil shows the combined result of 5주 only.

    I hope goodnote improve the search function.
    Really thanks

  4. There are TONS of default fonts I will NEVER use but I have also downloaded a lot from iFont. However, I constantly have to weed through all the system fonts to get to the ones I use regularly to see which font looks best for a particular section of text.

  5. Let’s imagine you have an image of the anatomy of the ankle which has everyone bone named. It would be great if we could add a sticker on top of the name to hide it and when clicking on it in read mode it disappears to reveal the name of the bone. That would be super useful for med student and others as well.

  6. I use GoodNotes 6 every day and find it very useful and productive. However, I have some suggestions for improvement, especially regarding the use of PDF files.

    PDF Integration

    • Wider Use of PDFs: It has always been a challenge to use PDF files more extensively within GoodNotes. Enhancing this feature would be highly beneficial.

    Recent Observations

    • Circular Writing Window: Recently, while using the 13-inch iPad Pro and Apple Pencil Pro, I noticed a circular writing window created in front of the pen nib using the pen pressure function. Thank you for including this feature.

    Suggested Improvements

    • Optional Window

  7. It would be great to be able to have the opportunity to add indices and exponents to our words/letters/numbers!
    I have a bachelor's degree in biology and it would be very practical for mathematical formulas!

  8. A feature with which I can scan a written sheet of paper, for example. But then the handwriting should be recognized automatically so that I can edit it again. (Erasing, moving and so on)

  9. Dear App Development Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to suggest an enhancement for your application's search functionality. It would be highly beneficial if users could have the option to apply filters during their search, specifically to exclude certain folders from the search results. This feature would greatly improve the user experience by providing more control over the search process and ensuring that the results are more relevant to the user's needs.

    Thank you for considering my suggestion. I believe this feature would make a valuable addition to your app and look forward to seeing…

  10. Cycle through 3 (or more) tools/brush with double tap Apple Pencil.

    If you double tap, it will cycle through the last three tools (or more depending on setting choice)
    So for example:
    1. Start from from 'PEN' write something.
    2. Double tap Apple pencil and it will go to 'HIGHLIGHTER', and highlight a word.
    2. Double tap Apple pencil and it will go to 'SHAPE TOOL' and under line some text and draw a box.
    3. Double tap Apple pencil and it's back to 'PEN' and write something.

    This will prevent needing to move the pen up to the tool…

  12. One should be able to go back to the original page after clicking a hyperlink in a PDF file. This is necessary when annotating some long PDF files.

  13. Hi,
    I like Goodnotes very much, but I miss some features for my workflow as
    architect. I use Goodnotes for measurements on location.

    1. Layers
      I would like to have some layers for structuring my drawings

    2. Dottet / Dashed Lines
      … selfspeaking

    3. Forms with graphical options for lines/edges and surface
      It would be nice, if we could define line-style and surface-style
      e.g. surface: white (with options for transparency) and lines/edges
      as dashed line.

    4. More as 3 lines thicknesses in UI-Menu

    Greetings from Germany
    Tobi

  15. I normally use noose to capture the image. But there are too many steps to capture. ( drag + push + select screenshot + share + copy )
    Please make capture tool.

  17. When using the "Circle to Select" gesture, it often happens that my timing is slightly off and I try to pull the selection too early, yielding an unwanted stroke on the page. Therefore, the pencil should vibrate slightly once the selection is complete.

  18. The release of Goodnotes 6 within the previous year, was great for the Apple ecosystem, but recently I have moved to Samsung and I have noticed just how bad Goodnotes 6 is on Samsung Tablets (I have the Tab S9 series).

    A progress web app can never be for a note-taking app, native apps are essential for note-taking as performance with the Goodnotes 6 web app is bad.

    The web app crashes often, the pen is laggy and most of the time my handwriting ends up looking bad comparing it with native apps like Samsung Notes, jNotes, Squid, and others.

  19. Whenever I type a number or hyphen at the start of a line, an automatic bullet/numbered list will appear and hijack my original structure. Can you provide an option to turn off automatic lists?
