  1. Please - urgently - change the link on the page! With more than 1000 pages, it is necessary to enter the page number, as scrolling is too cumbersome. 1001 thanks.

  2. Currently, in the GoodNotes app, annotations made in other note-taking apps like Apple's native Notes app are embedded into the PDF upon import, making them uneditable within the app. I would greatly appreciate it if you could make it possible to recognize and edit annotations within PDFs.

  5. It is vital for me to see the date of the creation of my page. Some pages are memories from trips. Some notes are memories from a special event on a work day  . I would love to be able to see the date and time, and there may be more details about the specific page. I was so surprised to find that you cannot :)

  6. I use the Text Tool a lot but every time i want the text in another color it takes too much time. I would love to see the simple ability (as with the Pen tool) to put text color presets in the toolbar!

  7. The ability to handwrite or text annotation on a PDF with infinite space for those who do not have very tiny handwriting. Goodnotes uses the margins of the PDF for handwriting. Maybe adding the PDF to a page to allow for more handwriting space.

  8. Please create a subscription plan option for only Apple device support. I don't mind paying a subscription fee, but I don't want to pay $10 for platforms I don't use. Give me a $7 Apple only option like you have a Windows/Android only option.

  9. When searching handwritten notes, the word is highlighted is yellow colour which is visible in white or yellow paper but it is very difficult to clearly see the word on a dark paper. So highlighting it with a lighter colour will be easy to see.

    • Once an external link is placed in the document, it is interruptive to have to click through approval for External link every time you follow the link

  11. Similar to the study cards, it would be great if you could implement Research Index Cards to be used during the literature research when writing your Thesis. Ideally the set can be grouped and sorted in a flexible way. I have attached a sample how it could look like.

  12. Windows, Web & Android need to be included with the purchases of Mac and IOS versions. Currently Goodnotes 6 has a one time purchase and yearly subscription for the Apple versions but only has yearly options for Windows, Web & Android. As someone who has a windows computer but also an ipad i have to pay 10$ a year to have my account work on both windows and ios. By the time I finish college my total in yearly subs will come out to almost three ios one time purchases. The one time purchase needs to include all platforms and…

  13. The fact that this hasn't been resolved yet is a bit silly. Moving to a subscription model, adding a bunch of AI no one asked for and then one of your basic tools has been broken since release...

  14. I love that we can change the colour of files in GoodNotes 6 now, but I really want more options!! Have a file “preset” and add your own button would be great to make it customizable. Make it the same as adding new pen colours, with a button to open up more preset collections.

  15. I have changed my Tablet from iPad to Lenovo Tap and I can't download it on the new tablet. I think, it is helpful if Goodnotes also support Android and not just ios

  16. I would love to have the option to see how much memory the respective file uses. The best would be a function to view the files that take up the most memory so that you can delete old files that take up a lot of memory.

  18. I love being able to search for key words, both in text and my own written notes, but would love to be able to search for different types of annotations as well. For instance, I tend to highlight key terms in orange, so if I could search for all my orange highlights in a notebook, that would make it really easy to find all the key terms.

  19. When I airdrop a Goodnotes 6 file or page to someone using GoodNotes 5, it crashes down and the folder to which the page has been added can‘t be opened any more. Especially at school this is a big problem - all our pupils use GoodNotes 5, some teacher use Goodnotes 6. And now I can only airdrop pdf files, which does not allow the children to move around bits of text. Please make the two versions compatible.
