  1. When I was using GoodNotes for macOS and typing with the system default Chinese IME to type a long Chinese sentence, the pinyin input was not replaced by the Chinese characters. Instead they kept staying on the screen after I select the Chinese characters and even repeated themselves.

  2. Hey!

    GoodNotes 6 recently added the option to rename audio clips but I can’t figure out (because GN never tells you how) how to do it. I tried long pressing on the audio clip or sliding to either sides but the only option I get is to delete it. Please GN: Whenever a new feature becomes available, add a small splash screen tutorial explaining or showing how to make use of the feature.

    Thanks for the reply.

  4. I write with my Apple Pencil when doing notecards, and having lines would make them a lot neater. I spend an annoying amount of time adding them myself

  5. There are basically 3 pen thickness slots, eraser slots, and highlighter thickness slots, so I'd like to have additional thickness slots and eraser slots.

  7. ● add a color picker tool, how hard is that?
    ● add more than three colors to your paper templates (pink, blue, green, purple,...etc) THAT DON'T REQUIRE MORE MONEY of course. Add them like it is a default. Not only (dark grey, yellow and white) it would be perfect if we can make the color chosing the color wheel.

    ● add rulers and a protractor 📏 📐
    ●add a way of being able to change the entire app appearance (like the color of the bar and the background, and the shape of the folder, like we can make the folder…

  8. Hey team, I just wanted to suggest a new little feature that would benefit a lot of people, especially case users.
    I personally use a Logitech keyboard case with quite a thick lip around the screen of my iPad.
    I write with my right hand, and when getting to the right side, then it’s really uncomfortable and hard to write on the right edge of the page.
    My suggestion would be, to allow for the page to be able to be pulled into the screen, away from the edge. I know this wouldn’t be the most effective use of space,…

  9. For notes taking in class, I take a lot of pictures of projected screen. Then when inserting those pictures into my notes, GoodNotes will only put them on page with a very limited size. I want to resize those pictures on page, but then the aspect ratio will be changed because I can only stretch them either vertically or horizontally at a time, not both at the same time.

    I think GN should add a button at the corner of resizing the picture to keep the original aspect ratio.

  10. I use several different text styles in my documents, this includes fonts styles and sizes. While currently I have a notebook and a collection of the fonts & sizes I prefer. I’d love the ability to have multiple text style presets. Most of the time I’m using between 6 and 7 different fonts between my notes (it’s why when I try a new font, I make sure my most recent fonts stay in the recent section), but having the ability to have multiple text box presets would be beneficial.

  12. In the current Goodnotes application, it is only possible to assign the colors I want to use right now. But there are times that I want to use different colors according to the subject. For example, I like using [blue, red, green, dark purple] set when I'm taking history notes on the bright paper. But I like using [white, bright yellow, bright blue, bright green] when I'm solving math problems on dark paper. It takes quite a time to change all the colors I have on my screen whenever I'm trying to take notes about different subjects.

    So, I propose…

  13. In the current Goodnotes application, it is only possible to draw lines or quadratic functions, which makes it hard to draw cubic function graphs or graphs with higher degrees. It would be much better if graphs with degrees over three (preferably cubic function graph and quartic function graph) also got automatically corrected when the user draws them.

  14. It woud be really useful for my organisation to have numbers as icons in the folder customization. It would generally be useful to have more icons to choose from as there sometimes is no icon that really fits the content of the folder.

  15. I teach university math and every time I plot a point on the axis, the axis gets deleted. Often, my writing is deleted when I cross a t. Please allow this feature to be deleted.

  16. Ability to tag an outline page with a colour so that I can make outlines in a document the way one would stick post it notes to the edge of a book. The ability to write a brief summary under the outline label which could be expanded would be incredibly helpful, allowing users to write a brief summary of the page.

  17. ios에서 사용할 수 있는 굿노트에 비해 안드로이드용은 기능이 너무나도 부족합니다. 예로 지우개 개수가 적고 세부 조절이 불가능하며 , 펜과 하이라이터 색깔은 기본적으로 3개밖에 등록되어 있지 않아 사용에 불편함이 있습니다. 또한 도형을 그려 내부에 색칠을 하는 것, 타자 기능, 펜으로 덧그려 지우는 자잘한 편리 기능도 모두 없어 동일한 추가 부탁드립니다.

  20. It would be great if the gestures with the pen worked in the enlarged view, in addition to having a few tools in the window that comes out so you don’t have to go all the way up to change the color or the tool.
