  1. Having separate tools active for finger actions and pen actions would save on manual tool switching, thus saving time and unnecessary effort. In my personal case I’d like to able to have a separate tool for my Apple Pen (Pen tool for note taking), then instantly being able to highlight a line just by using my finger, without the effort of manually switching tools. Furthermore, using the finger to select and drag, or place a sticker or image. I know that you can switch between tools with double tapping the Apple Pen, but that is generally reserved for erasing, this…

  2. Ability to scroll differently for separate documents! I would love to be able to scroll vertically/ horizontally for different documents. Some documents I prefer vertically and some horizontally, but it's a hassle to have to change the direction everytime.

  3. As a physics lecturer, I need dashed lines, curves and arrow (Solid and dashed both) very frequently. Please add these features asap because these are very basic things while taking notes.

  4. I wannna read two pages as spread. It's not about split view, some files are made as two pages spread and it is terrible to read such files in split view, scrolling both ends of iPad over and over again. So please consider this feature to be implemented.

  5. I’d like for there to be a way to “tag” cards within individual study sets a variety of colors. For example, if I have cards related to biology, I can tag them “green” and cards related to math can be “red”. When I go to study all of my cards, I want to be able to customize how many of each “tag” I want in my study session. For example, maybe I want to have a study session that’s mostly Biology with some Math as well. I would customize that I want 15 “green” cards and 5 “red” cards in…

  6. Add a button in the Bar at the top, similar to the pen layout. There is tons of empty space and the only button gives a short explanation on how to use it. There could easily be a button to convert to text, math, copy, paste, etc. Instead you have to click through the menu that pops up by holding with your finger, requiring you to drop the pen etc. This would improve workflow and is an easy implementation. Seems like forgoten feature.

  7. However, achieving success in the world of online gaming requires more than just skill—it demands dedication, strategy, and a willingness to adapt to an ever-changing landscape. For me, this journey began with a deep dive into the history and evolution of online gaming, as I sought to https://qov.kz/ understand the mechanics and dynamics of this dynamic medium. Armed with this knowledge, I honed my skills, refined my strategies, and embraced the challenges that lay ahead.

  8. Would love to be able to retire cards, move cards to a new study set, search study sets, and have a better organizing system for the cards (including a way to zoom into cards while in study mode).

  9. I would love if there was an option, when importing a PDF, to import it with a standardized and beautiful style, with text formatting, spacing, etc., sort of like Omnivore or Kindle. It would make reading PDFs on GoodNotes so much nicer of an experience. You could go even further and have options to increase text, change the color background, etc., like you can on the Kindle app.

  11. Now that the customizable taskbar update has been released, it would be useful to have the ability to resize/adjust the length of the taskbar sections left and right in order to make room for more or less tools and colors. That way instead of having a user scroll through a bunch of colors, they can just adjust the section bar to the left to reveal more of their color palette.
    [Similarly to how Window PC taskbars have the “bars” that adjust icons left and right.]

    It would also be great to have an option to lock the adjustments as well.

  13. Although the full page typing feature (see image below) is useful, it only supports the default Arial font currently. Please can GoodNotes allow users to change fonts for the full page typing feature?

  14. I am using the notecards feature to study a different language. There are (4) features that would help me greatly. 1 - having multi-language support. 2 - being able to search my notecards (couldn't figure this out on Mac but needed to correct a word that I'd misspelled). 3 - In setting up my notecards, it would have been great to have a side by side option where I could look at my old notes while creating new (I eventually just opened two windows). 4 - Reverse test. It's great to know the words from one language to the other…

  15. It’s mostly relevant when reading a PDF textbook which has information and diagrams connected on both pages.

    It is super annoying if you want to annotate it and you have to switch between two windows of the same app just to do that.

    Thanks!

  16. I would like to be able to talk and my voice to be converted to my handwriting in PDF annotated pages in GoodNotes. This feature would be something that none of the similar applications support and would really streamline putting our thoughts onto the digital paper with our own handwriting.

    Ali

  19. I would like to request the addition of a feature in Goodnotes 6 that allows users to apply the AI-enhanced handwriting to correctly spelled words, not just the misspelled ones that are automatically corrected by the current "Spellcheck" function. The existing AI-powered writing aid significantly improves legibility while maintaining the writer's unique style, but currently activates only when a spelling mistake is made. Introducing an opt-in setting to extend this AI-enhancement to all handwritten words, regardless of their spelling accuracy, would offer users the benefit of consistently legible and polished notes, thereby enriching the overall Goodnotes 6 experience.
