  1. Dear team,

    I would like to suggest an enhancement to your tool’s functionality that I believe would significantly enrich the user experience. Would it be possible to implement a feature that allows users to highlight or select a specific text and, with a simple click, set it as the title of a summary? Additionally, it would be extremely helpful if, upon performing this action, the user could view a list of titles already created for summaries, thus avoiding duplications.

    Another valuable feature would be the ability to standardize the text of the summaries, including options to change the text to…

  2. In addition, I would like the ability to round the corners and mask the shape of a heart or circle.

  3. One should be able to go back to the original page after clicking a hyperlink in a PDF file. This is necessary when annotating some long PDF files.

  4. Please consider adding the option to just record audio without stroke links. Just an on/off toggle option for this would suffice.

    I personally never rely on this feature. Also these days Goodnotes has been crashing a lot during audio recording (even though I’m using iPad Pro M2 which should be pretty competent), and when I reopen the app the recording is lost, which is quite an inconvenience. So I wonder if turning it off would help prevent the app from crashing, and maybe reduce file size as a bonus.

    Much appreciated if you could consider this.

  6. Often when using the eraser, I find myself having forgot that I have selected a size too big and end up erasing too much. Therefore, it would be nice to preview the size of the eraser on hover, essentially the same way it is done in the native apps.

  7. When using the "Circle to Select" gesture, it often happens that my timing is slightly off and I try to pull the selection too early, yielding an unwanted stroke on the page. Therefore, the pencil should vibrate slightly once the selection is complete.

  8. Having a highlighter feature when you are typing notes without having to use an Apple Pencil. Make easier to keep track / organizing notes.

  9. With the new Apple Pencil pro, being able to control the menu that pops up with the squeeze function by rotating the pen and making use of the new barrel roll feature would allow for a much smoother and seamless experience.

  10. It would be SUPER handy to be able to write in the margins of page view for longer documents so you can scroll down many pages make notes about certain sections. Not just for long PDFs, but even journals or anything that results in length in which you want to make notes about certain key high lights of your document

  11. I often find myself using GoodNotes in the train and often the tracks aren’t straight but quite curvy which makes it sometimes impossible to write.
    I would like the option to cancel out any fast movements when writing or drawing, maybe using AI.
    This would mean, any “ugly” lines that were caused by shaking of the arm from sitting in a car, train, bus or rollercoaster would be smoothed out.
    This feature could be one of a kind for GoodNotes

  12. Whenever I type a number or hyphen at the start of a line, an automatic bullet/numbered list will appear and hijack my original structure. Can you provide an option to turn off automatic lists?

  13. After downloading the app for the first time, you’ll be asked to create an account. In that account, all of your notes it’s gonna be safe and secure. You can delete the app or download in another device and all you have to do is log in into your account. I personally think it’s more reasonable to add this feature only to those who use the paid version of the app. With your account you can, not only access your notes anytime anywhere, but also feel safe about not losing your notes.

  14. 学習セットなどでは練習してるときにすぐに新規メモ帳を出せるのですが、ノートなどを見てる時にもメモ帳をすぐに出したいのです。学習セットではなくても、簡単にメモ帳が出るようにしてください。この機能は大変便利であらゆるケースで利用したいです。

  15. When I need to adjust the size, the sticker is brought to the front over the text. Also, I’m surprised I need to day this but GoodNotes still doesn’t have an infinite canvas. Another thing that FreeForm has is how it’ll post a preview of the website when you add a Hyperlink. And this app is FREE. It even has more pen types to play with.

    The only reason I still use GoodNotes is because of its Export. Just do what FreeForm can do. Also, a useful tip: If you need Infinite Canvis, just double the page size from A3…

  16. Please add a feature where the Lasso selection tool can lock and unlock layer(s)/object(s)/text box(s)/handwriting/image(s) or all objects in place, and also lock/unlock the ability to alter the selected objects attributes (color, size, rotation, etc) feature!

  17. Goodnotes 5 had list view for files and folders but Goodnotes 6 does not. I am in school and need to label my files with class information for quick reference but this makes the file names too long to be able to see the entire thing. Please add this feature for ease of use.

  18. EDITED: Keeping this on here, just in case anyone else has the issue...I figured it out :)

    On my iPad, I can single finger scroll left/right and go through all of the cover/page options. I just realized that I can two finger scroll on my Air, mimicking the action from the iPad. Sorry about that!

    Not sure if this is an idea or just a question but I am to finding a solution. I use a MacBook Air (2020 on Sonoma) and iPad 9 (on OS 17.4.1). These are my life connections and I have all things syncing with iCloud…

  20. It would be great if you could change the gmail your account is linked to, so that you could have access to them in another drive. When I first made an account it was with my everyday email, now I have a separate one for business and school. Would be awesome if I could change it even if it was only allowed one time.
