  1. Since GoodNotes 6, family sharing via the Apple iOS app store is unfortunately no longer supported by GoodNotes.

    This is really frustrating because it means that we can no longer use the app as a family. That's why I would like to suggest that the developers reconsider supporting family sharing in GoodNotes 6 as well.

  2. Pls return the bookmark icon in the toolbar where it was previously with the red mark indicator if selected. Because of the new update i can‘t directly see which notes are more important while learning my courses. Without having to use other complicated features.

  3. Similar to MS paint it would be useful to have a paint bucket tool that would fill a color inside the lines of a shape. Most of the functionality is already added with the shape fill color option, but for drawings that dont use it there is no efficient way to fill the space.

  4. I am incredibly happy that you have added the voice recording feature. I would be very pleased If you add another feature where we can adjust the speed of the audio recording. (such as 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x or 0.5x)

  5. It has been a long time since the publication of the first request (2017). Still (2023) all of the listed languages: ( Polish / Czech / Ukrainian / Swedish / Danish / Norwegian ) do not have handwriting recognition support. We pay for the full version of the app and in return we don't get one of the most crucial features.

    Other apps that are alternatives to GoodNotes, such as Nebo or Notabillity offer this features.

  6. Tape…Notability just published an update to allow something like white out tape that can be tapped to make transparent and then tapped again to ”reapply.”

    Teaching implications of such a tool are obvious and awesome.

    Please give us such a feature.

  8. The "UNDO" and "REDO" buttons in Goodnotes 6 have moved from the top right corner in Goodnotes 5 to the top left corner. When using UNDO, it's often necessary to see up to which step I've undone. But after moving to the top left, not only does my right hand have to move a considerable distance, but my entire hand covers the screen, making it hard to see where I've undone to. I hope the UI design can be changed back to the top right corner.

  10. Hi, I‘m a student and have two ideas:
    The first one is to create automatic tables like those in notes on apple products, because I personally think it‘s a litte bit exhausting to draw them by hand in goodnotes.
    The second one is to add rules, especially triangle ones, and and then you can draw straight lines and/ or look what the angles are. A similar thing existed in word for iPad and I think it‘s really effective. Because, every time I have have to look what angles there are, I use my real triangle ruler while it‘s leaving scratches…

  12. It would be nice to set different presets for different documents. For example, in document A, selected preset pen colors are different shades of green, whereas in document B selected presets are different shades of blue. This would be nice when you're trying to make different documents each have their own themes. An extension of this could be preset pen thicknesses. For example, when you enter document A, your pen is automatically at 0.2 whereas when you document B your pen is 0.4.

  14. In the last update the 3 pen thickness options have disappeared from the tool bar to make space for the more colors options. As students, need to change the THICKNESS of the pens very quickly and countless times when taking notes.

    PLEASE BRING IT BACK ON THE TOOLBAR!!

  15. I would love a tool bar that is customizable (like most tool bars in MacOS or also some tool bars in iPadOS 16).

    For example, I don't need the stickers-tool or shapes-tool and would rather hide them. At the same time I would love to have more than 3 color/thickness options in the tool bar.

    Since every user has different needs, a customizable tool bar would probably be better than just adding more color and thickness options. It would improve the user experience since every user would be able to declutter the tool bar specific to his/her needs.

    I would…

  16. Please, add polish to Goodnotes. I bought my iPad specifically to take notes during university and I would love to be able to use the search function and handwriting recognition in my native language, which is also the language I will study in. The first suggestions to add polish are from 2015 and they have been repeating ever since - I think a lot of people would really appreciate Polish being added to Goodnotes.

  17. To make space for the microphone/recording icon (perhaps for the sake of symmetry) the bookmark icon was removed. There is now no visual feedback of for a page being bookmarked.

    One on hand, I use this feature with my planner to add the current week to favorites for a quick retrieval. On the other hand I will never use the recording feature.
    My dismay at this new development is self evident and so is my wish for a future positive resolution for my quandry.

  19. Allow indentation with bullet points on the "Bulleted List" on the new text feature on Goodnotes 5, not just on the first line of bullet points. Similar to how you would take notes using bullet points in Microsoft, Google, or Pages. PLEASE!

  20. Bring back the bookmark button please. Or make it so we can edit the toolbar to add it back. The record feature is useless to me so I want the bookmark button back where it was.
