  1. I have 6yrs of my dialysis related notes (blood pressures, medications, etc). I tried the GN6 trial with immediate regret, looked to cancel, found out that it says there is no subscription to cancel, nor trial to cancel.Am I going to be losing my GN5 notes or GN5 features? Will GN5 just cease to exist. Do I have to back up my notes into another notewriting app? Please help. Not happy at all

  2. Option to temporarily and quickly Disable the Top Tabs. In a way... like the toggle to go from View to Edit Mode and back. Basically need a button to press... to turn off the tabs. Pressing the button again will turns the tabs back on.

    I am left-hander. Apparently, I also "write-up-side-down". See Image.

    Because of this.. my palm constantly hits the tabs - and the notebook will changes. This happens all the time. Everyday. Multiple times a day.

  3. I accidentally didn't turn off my audio recording on my iPad and it has been recording for 5 hours. I want to edit it so that it's only the length of my lecture but there's no option to do so. Please add a way to shorten the length of the recording. Thank you.

  4. One of the biggest drawbacks of the app is that my notebooks and folders are only able to be sorted alphabetically, by type, or by when I used them. This makes for a very unintuitive interface, as the order of documents often makes no sense. I think it would be relatively easy to add the option to just drag and drop folders/notebooks the way you would move apps on a home screen.

  5. The current colours for folders are extremely limited. I use Goodnotes for many different things, and I am having to repeat folder colours which makes it hard to quickly find things I need. I think it would be useful to rather have a colour wheel or similar option, or even a way to add a photo as the folder cover rather than just a small generic icon which is hard to see.

  7. Could you guys make it a sort of greyscale effect when given the Night Mode option. Auto Converts any uploaded pdf into dark mode when using in the app, and converts black to white and vice versa. This would be especially useful when revising at night in a medium lit environment. I gave a little idea in the picture. Hopefully would give some idea.

  8. GoodNotes is my favorite app, but it is difficult to use because when you create a new note (file) and close it after writing, you have to choose in a dialog whether to save or delete (not save).

    Deciding whether to delete a created note can be done from the file list, so it is time-consuming to select it from the dialog each time it is created. It would be nice if it could be selected in the settings so that it can be automatically saved. It would reduce the number of one-tap operations.

    For example, in Procreate, the file…

  9. Please could you include te reo Maori (the Maori language) in your supported languages. There is huge Maori language regeneration in New Zealand supported by new generations of Maori who have been schooled in their language and non-Maori who are keen learners of the Maori language. There would be great uptake by New Zealand users of goodnotes.

  10. I would love it if there would be an option to adjust the arc shapes since it’s a problem whenever I want to use goodnotes for math, physics, or any class that requires drawing models. Maybe have it as an option to grab the middle point of a drawn line/arc and have the option to move it how we want to create a perfect shape for graphs and drawings.

  12. As I do not need the reminder to learn old study sets of the past semester, I would really look forward to establishing the possibility to deactivate study sets with regards to smart learning. Otherwise I always have to delete my studysets to get no notification any more.

  14. It would be amazing when you click on a specific part of your writing, it jumps to the recording corresponding to it like in notability. This feature is the only thing that notability exceeds in to Goodnotes.

  15. Fix the typing feature as well (the one with the keyboard). In this conditions its a real struggle to write on a tablet (which obviously should be easier) than to write on a paper. Just fix all the bug issues .

  16. Description:
    I suggest adding features to GoodNotes that provide greater control and flexibility in creating notes and designs. These improvements include:

    Precise Alignment and Equitable Distribution: Adding a contextual menu that allows aligning objects (such as text boxes and stickers) to the left, top, right, bottom, vertical center, and horizontal center. Additionally, enabling equitable distribution and equidistant alignment between objects would be fantastic!

    Object Grouping: Allowing grouping objects to manipulate them as a unit, facilitating the organization and editing of multiple elements collectively.

    Precise Size Definition: Implementing the ability to precisely define the size of objects by entering specific values…

  18. When you are in the zoom window feature and are coming to the end of the window the line should automatically continue to flow so the writing flow is not stopped. Also the next line should be suggested like now with the window but also that suggestion should not stop the writing flow.

  19. 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…

  20. 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.
