  1. In Note+ or other apps, they can extend the page by adding some space on the left or right. Personally, our professor talks a lot and I need a lot of space to take notes on. So, if you make a feature of extending more space to the pdf page, I would really appreciate it. I'll upload the file of the Note+ app.

  2. I noticed that the recent update allows highlighter and other objects to be manually selected and then “send to back”. I like that this feature allows for highlighter to be positioned behind text, but it would be useful if there was an option to have that automatically done or to have the highlighter tool set to automatically send highlighter to back layer once a line is drawn using it. Adding a toggle on the highlighter menu so users can select to automatically have highlighter “send to back” would be amazing.

  3. Ability to search within the notes, both the file itself and the annotations, e.g., handwriting.

    Handwriting recognition just like in the IOS app.

  4. 이미지 크기를 키우거나 줄일 때 상하 좌우로 동시에 크기가 변해서 주변의 다른 개체와 크기를 맞추기 힘들고, 개체가 놓일 정확한 위치를 잡기도 힘듭니다.
    이미지가 오른쪽과 아래쪽으로만 크기가 변한다면 훨씬 수월할 겁니다.

  5. I have been using Goodnotes 6 on my iPad Pro almost a year with my 2015 MacBook Pro running a version behind the requirement. The app works but not the documents created on the updated iPad. I sincerely hope GoodNotes Team able to create an option for syncing that it either can create a general basic compatible option for the documents upon syncing / saving. It's very frustrating that I will have to buy a new MacBook in order to use the sync function and so on. I suggest if possible there are options or patch allows the older version…

  8. Hi GoodNotes Team,

    Since the update to GoodNotes 6, vertical scrolling always snaps from one page to the next. This page snap makes it harder to review notes smoothly, especially when studying.

    Please bring back the option to disable page snapping and allow continuous scrolling, like in GoodNotes 5. This flexibility would really improve the learning experience.

    Thanks a lot!
    A loyal user

  9. On my iPad, when I have multiple items to be exported, the "Select All" feature is not working (I am using the most current version of GoodNotes). Thank you for reading!

  10. It is very hard to find comments in your old documents. Basically if you want to resolve a comment later you have to bookmark the page aswell. It would be great if a comment tab was added somewhere, where you could have an overview over all comments. (Similar to the attached picture in Adobe Acrobat). Another suggestion would be to simply add it in addition to bookmarks, such that pages that are commented are clearly visible (see other pic)
    In general if you would work on these features, the work together option for notes would be much improved aswell.

  11. It would be nice to import mp3 audio files directly to notes. Take for example, a voice memo recorded onto the default app, it would be nice if I could import it to a Goodnotes note. The notes being synced would be neat, but that is not as important.

  12. When you have a canvas or a large note, to have the ability to set a standart size that you would use for writing, so that you can navigate around without having to take a long time to adjust the note after expanding or minimising.

  15. When I turn handwriting into text my #1 goal is to edit. This (apparently) has to be done using a finger tap, so ok, I'll work with that. I don't want to see a giant menu right away, which is what it does now, I instead want the insertion cursor to appear where I tap the text. (I'd use a tap and hold to bring up the menu.) I also don't want the regular virtual keyboard to appear and cover the text I just tapped, the text should remain visible :)

  17. Include a line or cursor (upside down T) so users can line washi tape up with paper line or other lines. In the current state, the user has to guess to align washi tape, delete, and try again, or apply the washi tape, lasso it, and then move it. It will be easier to include a cursor so washi tape can be applied straight the first time.

  18. GoodNotes is truly an excellent app. I use it every day.

    However, I am facing the following issue:

    Issue

    When creating a new note via double tap, the language setting configured in the settings screen is not applied.

    Details

    • I want to create notes with the Japanese language setting, but when I create a new note using the double-tap feature from the new note creation screen, the language is set to US by default.
    • As a result, handwritten note titles are not recognized correctly, forcing me to manually edit the title using the keyboard every time.
    • My workflow involves creating…

  19. When we take a lot of notes during a long period of time, It can be difficult to find them back. It could be useful to generate "timestamps" along a notebook, such as date creation of a page, or tag with the time of the first note of the day, or a stamp with de date/time you want to tag in a page. The time then could be a criterion for search or when you review all the pages.
