  1. I draw lots of diagrams. The scribble-to-delete accidentally deletes my diagrams.
    Give us an option to turn it off.

  5. I am a student who prefers using a black background with white ink as it is easier on my eyes. However, this makes it very difficult to print my notes. It would be great to have a feature to invert the colours when printing (from black to white background and white to black words). It would also be great to be able to have a feature where we can change backgrounds of all the pages at once.

  6. I would appreciate the option to have a maths keyboard on the app. iOS doesn’t have an option to allow me to use key maths symbols which I need for my revision, I am drawing them myself & then manually copying/pasting them whenever needed. Having options to quickly select symbols like ‘sum of’, integral, alpha, beta, delta, pi (etc), would be very convenient and widely used.

  8. you should add some studying tools such as
    tape to cover the answers while studing.Also,The recorded voices shouldn't take a space in the device. Additionally, the laser pointer should have multiple styles.

  9. The Flashcards of GoodNotes 5 have now been removed in GoodNotes 6 and replaced with Study Sets, but Flashcards have a lot of advantages compared to Study Sets:
    1 . You can have an overview of Flashcards in thumbnails while seeing both the question and the answer (in Study Sets you only see the question). This helps with studying and having an overview of the set to see if it is done correctly.
    2. The questions and answers are easier and quicker to create in Flashcards by writing and cutting and pasting as fewer steps are needed as the flashcard…

  13. After the dotted lines update the view of which 3 brushes you currently are using changed. Earlier the size of the brushes was shown more respectively to the size of the others. Now that the size is shown more accurately I can’t distinguish the sizes anymore, because it’s only 2mm. In writhing a big difference but in the tab not anymore.

  14. iOS apps normally update automatically as they become available. For some reason GoodNotes does not do this and the user either a) discovers that notes no longer sync across devices and/or b) discover app needs update by digging into the "About" panel. Normally iOS app updates are minimally impactful but I have now seen GoodNote cloud sync break twice and require manual intervention by user to discover the issue and manually update, I would like to suggest that Goodnotes adopts the process of most all other iOS apps and automatically update in background to minimize user impact.

  15. I've seen posts asking for a version history function, presumably something similar to what google docs has.

    However, I would like to suggest an edit history function, where I get to see how exactly my document was built/written from the first stroke/text/picture to the last, like that of a timelapse. This would help a variety of users, such as people trying to build a mind map, where they would be able to not just visualize their thoughts, but also visualize the flow of their thoughts. This would also help students in seeing where their last annotation was or when any…

  16. When reading a lot of texts, sometimes it is easier to switch to the option to let the text be read to be. The voice used by GoodNotes though is really really bad making it hard to focus on what is actually said.
    Instead it would be great if you could add the option to let Siri read the text since it sounds rather natural in contrast to the GoodNotes voice.

    Please!

  17. Die linealfunktion hat mich sehr gefreut, da man im matheunterricht immer wieder Winkel messen muss etc. Dennoch hab ich festgestellt, dass das Maßstab des Lineals mit keinem papierformat übereinstimmt, weder mit goodnotes Standard, noch mit dinA4. Mein Wunsch wäre es, das Lineal so anzupassen, dass 2 Kästchen auf dem a4 Blatt auch einem cm auf dem Lineal entsprechen

  18. There is no way to see just the notes, comments, or annotations made within a documents. Other apps like PDF Expert and Notability do this, making it easy to go through whatever pages have notes written in them or annotations or comments.

    A nice bonus would be to also make comments searchable.
