  3. In the AppStore (iPadOS), the app is listed as 4+ and with family share. After buying the app (subscription or lifetime), you have to log in and the age rating of the app is changed to 16+. This means that the app is no longer usable for students under the age of 16 and therefore in many schools. Whether this is desired or a bug, this should be changed asap, as thousands of students and teachers work with the app here.
    It is not a (big) problem if the parents of unmanaged iPads pay for the app. But it is…

  4. With GoodNotes 6 as you wrote, it creates massive lines across a page as if there had been other pressure on the screen when this isn’t the case.

  5. With GoodNotes 6 the writing keeps disappearing after you have finished, this is extremely frustrating and wasn’t an issue in GoodNotes 5

  6. Currently in Goodnotes 6, when importing a document, the default location seems to always be the main document folder. In goodnotes 5, the default import location would be whatever folder we’re opened in or created at the time.

    I would like that back because I think sometimes when we’re in a hurry, we would import PDF as new documents and because the default location is the main documents folder… we would have to go back back back to the main folder and move the files to our intended folder. Which is a huge waste of time.

  8. Hey, it would be really nice and helpful to add Bulgarian as recognised language. I see that Russian is available which also uses the Cyrillic alphabet, hopefully Bulgarian will be available soon too!

  9. I wish we could change the settings to the setup of the toolbar. I am left handed, and it is inconvenient for the entire toolbar to be centered toward the right of the screen. There should be a setting to center the toolbar on the left or true center, as this immobility significantly increases the amount of time needed to switch between writing tools or use the undo/redo feature.

  10. Hi! I love this app and it is almost my go to, but I still have to use other apps daily in all my classes and at work, because there is no option for a multi level bulleted list where you can make bullet points and then click tab to indent one on the next level and have many levels of lists. This is such a key feature in note taking. Please add this feature!

  11. There have been several instances where I have tried to write on the left margin of my paper and since I am left-handed, I cannot move the paper enough to the right for my preferred zoom level to write. If you zoom in a lot to where it fills your screen, there is no ability to extend the paper any more than the margin of your screen.

  12. For Goodnotes 6, the search function is way poorer than it was in Goodnotes 5. It was now harder to search for some words that I can easily find in Goodnotes 5. I don’t want to have a downgrade though so please, please improve the search button to find more accurate.

    If it’s not too much to ask, could we have an option as well to change color of searched words in search button? Because it’s only in orange color and it’s hard if we we’re using orange highlighter.

    Thank you so much.

  13. Please add One-time payment directly from the App Store, so one doesn‘t have to create a GoodNotes Account. Students under 16 can‘t buy GoodNotes

  14. Before, I could use the highlighter, close the toolbar, reopen the toolbar, and still find the highlighter selected. Now when I close and reopen the toolbar, the pen is selected.
    Would you please fix this?
    Thanks

  15. GoodNotes takes forever to Sync updated documents between two devices, forever being several hours. This contradicts the entire functionality. Had this problem with several different devices and versions (since several years).
    I find it infuriating that I am forced to update Goodnotes and pay money again and again and this issue is still not fixed.

  17. ~just like SAT interactive learning, a MCAT interactive learning system to help student memorize many things like pathways in bio/chem, equations for physics/math, & also some flashcards could really help. Practice problems for bio, chem, and physics

  18. ~It would be better to have multiple audio recording split up, instead of having one huge line of recordings. Having them split up will give the option to pin point exactly the part of the recording you want to go back to.
    ~Improve the audio recording to go pixel by pixel so the notes are better synced together with the voice.

  19. We should be able to add multiple elements or stickers and make them the same size with a precision sizing tool. If I put down 3 memo pad stickers and I want all 3 to be the same size, there shouldn’t be a constant resizing from the corner sizer. We could click on the sticker or element and put in a font size or pixel dimensions.
    Or an option as we are placing it to choose the size. Either way something to keep stickers and other elements consistent in size from page to page and even on the same page…
