  2. I recently learned about your experimental Audio Transcription feature, and I think it is an excellent tool for enhancing productivity and learning. However, I noticed that it currently does not support Chinese transcription. As a Chinese-speaking user, I believe adding Chinese support would significantly improve the accessibility and usability of this feature for a broader audience.

    For users like me, who frequently study in a multilingual environment, having Chinese transcription is essential. Many of my lectures, discussions, and study materials are conducted in Chinese, and the lack of this capability limits my ability to make full use of GoodNotes. Adding…

  3. 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.

  5. 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

  6. With the new integration of Ai in Goodnotes, I would love to have the choice of Ai making a practice quiz based on my notes/slides presentation pdf you saves in goodnotes. I have two ideas:

    1. Ai makes practice questions based on your notebook and like the flashcards uses spaced repetition
    2. Ai can create a practice quiz, like multiple choice and matching

  7. 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…

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.

  11. 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?

  12. Hi GoodNotes Team,

    Since the update to GoodNotes 6, vertical scrolling always snaps from one page to the next. This page snap makes it harder to review notes smoothly, especially when studying.

    Please bring back the option to disable page snapping and allow continuous scrolling, like in GoodNotes 5. This flexibility would really improve the learning experience.

    Thanks a lot!
    A loyal user

  13. The typing notebook beta option is nice however it would be nice if it could be a template you could insert into any notebook like it was previously this the option to write, add text, or read only. Having it being isolated to just a note book makes it difficult to take notes and add written comments or highlights. Also the new note taking is annoying without a keyboard mainly for copy and paste but also to change the font size.

  16. It would be great to be able to share and collaborate on learning sets as it is possible for other documents. Right now, you need to export the entire file, so the other person will work from another version, and the two will not synchronise

  17. There should be an option for pdfs where goodnotes highlighter can auto highlight phrases or sentence lines like a pdf reader.

    It already can select words in pdf, might as well add this functionality.

  18. Hello, thank you for always providing a wonderful app.

    I would like to request a feature regarding the text tool in GoodNotes 6.

    In the current version, the minimum font size is fixed at 8pt.

    However, in previous versions, being able to use 1–7pt was extremely helpful for writing small annotations, subscripts, chemical formulas, and compact notes.

    If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could:
    ・ Allow font sizes below 8pt again (1–7pt)

    This function would benefit many users who need fine, detailed writing.

    Thank you very much for your consideration.

  19. Version 7.0.18: At the moment, it's only possible to link notebooks. It would be useful to link text documents, too.
