  1. Die Standardschrift soll für ein Dokument einstellbar sein (wie bei der alten Version)

    Es ist unglaublich mühsam, bei jedem neuen Text Feld öffnen: Schriftgrösse, Fett oder nicht, Schriftfarb etc. einzustellen.

    Bitte Bitte ändern sie das!!!!!!!!!!

  2. It would be nice if Android and Windows finally got the same capabilities as Apple. Adding new fonts, uploading stickers, and many other things unfortunately don't work at all. This has been a known issue for years.

  4. Firstly, i would like to say im working with goodnotes 6, and a macbook air

    1. the text document is a new feature which I understand but at the moment ive no idea why its pushed to production. the text size is so small and doesnt work when i try to make it bigger, i cant change the font size.

    1. The text tool should be pinned all the time and not having to pin it each time.

    2. A lock function or layer function. Noteful has this and they are significantly cheaper than goodnotes.

    3. Move the stupid back button back on the toolbar. It takes up space for my document. And covers the document. For us digital planner people the space is important.

  6. Ability to connect sticky notes with connectors to enable true mindmapping experience.
    Currently it's available only for shapes, which allows building quick diagrams and flowcharts. But it's not powerfull and flexible enough for true mindmapping, which requires sticky notes and content that they store.
    Apps like Miro, Apple Freeform have this feature, for example.

  8. I am left handed and with the undo/redo arrows on the top left corner in Goodnotes 7 I can (and occasionally have) involuntarily touch the buttons. An option for left handed persons to move the buttons on the right top corner would be great

  9. An option to manually set the rotation of fountain pen tip. When you turn off the recognize pen rotation option, which is a nice feature, it sets in an oblique angle. It would be nice to be able to manually rotate the pen tip and set it whichever angle you want it.

  10. Post making a study Set of any Main Topic, which which will have ‘n’ number of subtopics. But the next day when we get notification to study our study set, and when we open it, it gives us prompts showing one of the subtopics. If we don't want to answer it, if we want to skip it, there is NO option of "Skip".

    If we close our Study Set and open it again, we will again be given the same subtopic which we have shown earlier which we wanted to skip earlier. There is no switching to a new subtopic.

  11. Can we please get a Note Editing Format Reset window when we have text lassoed.

    For example; If we lasso a word(s) and the edit options come up, one of the options can be a list of formatting presets to change the formatting of the “type” of text lassoed.

    The presets should include formatting for Heading, Sub Heading, Key Term, °2 Key Term, Definition, Key Point, and Examples.

    That way all of our note editing is uniformed and streamlined.

    If I select the Editing Format Preset for Key Term, the size, font and color of the word would automatically change…

  13. After the update ,goodnotes 6 is missing a feature to lock the text box. This is very inconveinet now. I like to handwritting over a tex box, but the tex box is keep moving around while i‘m handwriting whithout the feature. Or maybe I can‘t find that after the update. Could you let me know where I can find that feature? This is very essential feature to me.

  14. 工具列以前的比更新後的好,不需要分類點擊,不但會增加遮擋頁面的面積,還只會增加我們在操作上的點擊次數,使操作更麻煩,而且為什麼只能更改大項目的順序、小項目的不行?

  15. 1.When we open a PDF, it always opens at 100% size. If I try to zoom out using two fingers, it automatically snaps back to full screen as soon as I release my fingers. But this doesn’t happen in other apps—zooming out there makes it easier to scroll through the PDF …It should zoom out the same way it does in the second picture, although I took that screenshot while holding it with my fingers

    1. Also, this app doesn’t have a separate option to change the background theme. It automatically uses the device’s theme, but there should be an independent…

  16. Highlighting is very tedious on this app. I agree with the many other posts that are requesting straight line highlighting and snap to text highlighting (as an option in addition to the current highlighter). However, I would like to take the snap to text feature one step further.

    If I need to highlight 3 lines in a paragraph, I shouldn’t have to make 3 separate highlighter actions. I should only have to put my pencil on the first word, and drag it to the last word. The software should highlight everything in between. In the image I attached, I put…

  17. When I am working in a large document (several hundred pages), navigating the TOC is cumbersome. If I’m on page 23 of 900, and know I need to go approximately 3/4 of the way into the document to a chart, I have to scroll and scroll and scroll until I get there.

    The app I’m attempting to replace with Goodnotes, GoodReader, has an extremely efficient TOC that you can click through easily. You can see the entire document and just tap where you want to go. If I need to navigate the documents actual TOC, bookmarks, or any annotations I…

  18. I like reading comics and manga and marking them up. Goodnotes has the best markup I have tried. But there are some panels in the books that join into one, and when I import my PDFs I can only see half of the panel at once. I would like to be able to see two pages at once. Gapless would be ideal, but I imagine it makes sense for there to be a gap. A toggle would help.
    Bonus Points if I can choose to read from right to left as well so I can read both comics and manga,…
