  2. Can we get some more pens, perhaps gel pens? Offer metallic and glitter font color choices.

  3. While using the pointer function, I cannot open or close the tape function.
    I would like to be able to turn the tape function on and off even when using the pointer function.
    When giving a lesson, I use the pointer, but I have to switch to the pen tool every time I want to open or close the tape, which is very inconvenient.

  4. When the text in the outline is too long, it is omitted, making it impossible to recognize the outline to locate the exact page number

  5. I would love it if we would be able to have notes on the side of our pages for easier annotating. Whenever I upload a PDF of some sort, I find it difficult to keep all my annotations spaced out on the page, especially with uploaded textbook pages where there is a lot of text and very small margins. Being able to add images and diagrams to the side for note taking would also be great, as sometimes I want to see it as a reference but don't actually want it on my page. The sticky note feature doesn't suit…

  7. Please create an option to natively import speaker notes from powerpoint files into either adendums to each slide, separate slides that follow each slide the notes are associated with, or another method like a sticky note on each slide. It shouldn't be a massive hassle to implement, since Powerpoint files can be extracted by command line as zip files, and all the speaker notes are located in /ppt/notesSlides/notesSlide*.xml files, with each slide having its own notesSlide.xml file. The speaker notes are located in plaintext in these files in some basic OpenXML formatting that Microsoft came up with for office. Specifically,…

  9. Currently the writing tool in Goodnotes is a little useless in my opinion there are like 5 styles I can choose from.
    Why can’t I change the font?
    Why can’t I change the size specifically?
    Why can’t I insert pictures that move with text or wrap the Text?
    Why can’t YOU use the existing feature of the Textbox for the Writing Tool?
    And then just try once to change the color of a text snippet to a custom color…nice menu…but I can’t scroll because my onscreen keyboard is in the way and therefore I can’t select the color wheel (which…

  10. The App loads for five seconds every time I switch from another app to Goodnotes that’s incredibly annoying and Please, Please fix this. Generally the App is really slow even on a fast device.
    I think you should fix such problems first instead of inventing the 3rd AI feature or a nasty animated circle around the active tool. I mean wtf nobody needs this. I just want a working app.

  15. I would like to propose the idea of an eraser only, as I have been using Goodnotes for a very long time, and in the recent update an eraser for only highlights and tape was being added. I found it convenient and easy to use, but I encountered some problems as I could not out my writing without deleting highlights and tape, I found it frustrating and inconvenient as I have to re-highlight or re-tape every time I want to change something, therefore by adding pen only eraser it would solve the problem, and would certainly elevate my experience in…

  18. in Goodnotes 6, I noticed that when I just try to scroll slightly down to the bottom of a page it will auto snap me to the center of the next page, and vice versa when scrolling to the top part of a page. Please add a function to disable this.

  19. Add a pop-up window to allow users to conveniently reorder tabs, like how it s implemented with “reorder pages” in a notebook. Currently, when we attempt to reorder tabs, the system often flickers between recognising it as a “open in an individual window” and “scrolling on tab bar”.

  20. Add scribble to erase for pen drawings written on top and beneath tape, and add “only erase pen drawings” function to eraser, so we can erase words without removing the tape . Currently we could only repeatedly click “undo” to erase the words.
