  1. The ONE major thing OneNote has over Goodnotes is that the workspace acts more like a desktop where you have the document you are reading, and the notepad NEXT TO IT where you are taking notes. Yes, I can open a second window in Goodnotes (which is awesome), BUT I want the notes next to the text. All you’d have to do programmatically is place the PDF document in a wider container. This has been a major frustration for me as a Masters/PhD student forever. I can’t be the only one who wants this feature.

  2. I would like to set my predefinitions for the text box, it’s really inconvenient to find the color that i want every time in the personalised section. I’m accustomed to my predefinitions for the pincel tool, so I would like to maintain the same ones for the text box.

  5. Hello,

    It would be convenient when looking through the document file browser, if there was an easy way to view the thumbnails of a document without opening the document. I have so many documents in goodnotes, and currently I have to open a document and then open the thumbnails view and then close the document each time i want to see whats inside a document.

    It would be a lot easier if there was a button in the file browser to open the thumbnail view, without opening the document. Then if i want to open the document, maybe there could…

  6. It would be really nice to be able to have an archive of study sets you don‘t need anymore e.g. for a subject i won‘t continue in the future. I don‘t want to delete them, but i also don‘t need to review them anymore so I don‘t need them in my inbox anymore.

  7. I usually work a lot in the magnifier mode. The AI options seem not to be working in magnifier mode.
    If, scribble to erase, circle to select, and handwriting spell check available in magnifier mode, It would be great.

  8. I want to be able to add pictures by copying and pasting (ctrlC+ctrlV) files from elsewhere into the notes, and be able to drag and drop picture files into notes. This is possible in Google Docs, and more convenient than the current feature, where you have to go click add a picture and then look for the picture.

  9. I want to use GoodNotes now in school, but if possible still in college. Is it possible to pay for GoodNotes for Windows only once forever?
    If not can you please do that. Your program is so good.

    Kind regards

  10. Since GN6, the pen size has been looped in with colors, and it would be great if this had its drop-down menu to change the size of your pen. Also, I switch between colors and pen sizes A LOT, and swiping between them has become my biggest pet peeve with the app. Also, if there was a drop-down menu, could we add more than three preset pen sizes?

  11. I was goodnote 5 user when I used ipad. I am willing to pay 29.99 USD as you allowed to IOS users. There are many android/window users who hesitate to use goodnote 6 because of anual paying system. Please reconsider.

  14. 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…

  15. 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.

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

  17. 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.

  18. 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!

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
