  1. Goodnotes is the best and only app for me in terms of handwritten notes of any kind on my iPad. The only update I have been waiting is TAGS.

  2. add multiple hex codes at once instead of having to manually add them one by one. There should be a feature where we can upload a hex code pack and get all colors at once!

  3. It would be nice to be able to adjust the sensitivity of scribble to erase. Sometimes, when trying to erase large blocks of writing, if you don't scribble thoroughly enough Goodnotes won't recognize that you're trying to erase and you have to do it again. Maybe there could be a feature for us to determine how sensitive we want it to pick up on scribble-to-erase, for users who use it really often to erase?

  7. why does it take like 3 minutes to load every time i open the app? and worse, you set the loading spinner to automatically be at 90%, so people thinks it's actually going to finish in a reasonable time and don't leave the app. ok actually. i'm deleting your app. this is ridiculous.

  8. It takes too many steps to convert handwriting.

    1; circle /select handwriting
    2: tap circle, hope the menu comes up
    3: tap the 3 dots button
    4: tap convert
    5: tap text
    6: tap convert again
    7: change font because the default settings donโ€™t apply to converted text

    Should be 2 steps
    1: circle/select handwriting
    2: tap a convert button

    If it makes a mistake, youโ€™d have to edit it anyway. So the pop up is redundant.

    I know this is possible because your code is already โ€˜convertingโ€™ the handwriting in order to be able to spellcheck and search handwrittenโ€ฆ

  9. I suggest for the laser pointer to show up in the notes when you do a voice recording. Not saying for it to stay on the page but would be nice to make notes such as circling something while a professor goes over it without the circle being permanent. Hence the laser pointer function.

  10. When I go to export a document from Goodnotes 6, the program (IOS) gives me several default persons to email my document to. None of them are the one I want to send the document to. How can I make my own default person(s) to send my exported document to?

  11. Da wir ganz viele externe Anbieter in GoodNotes integrieren, wรคre es dringend nรถtig, diese Links mit unseren Schรผlern zu teilen.
    Es fehlt die Mรถglichkeit den Schรผlern ein Textfeld oder den Link รผber z.B. AirDrop zu schicken.
    Sehr gut wรคre auch ein QR Code Leser, um in GoodNotes QR Codes direkt aus einem Bild zu รถffnen.

  14. Hey,

    When writing on top of an inserted image whilst having zoomed in on said image, it sometimes occurs that whilst trying to move the visible area instead the whole image is moved/ the positioning of the image on the page is moved.
    This happens because the image was accidentally selected and therefore made movable.

    To counteract this it would be nice to implement a feature that allows the user to "freeze an inserted image in place", meaning it can not be selected (and therefore not moved) anymore until it is "unfrozen".

    Thank you for creating and developing a greatโ€ฆ

  15. Please go back to the original flattened PDFs, that allow work to be flattened and not warped. Now the file sizes are huge, layers do not print well, and PDF's can change greatly depending on how you view them. THIS SUCKS. I've had issues since the past update, and never had an issue in the past several years I used this app.

  16. Please add support for third party mouses that when you are in normal mode you can click and hold the document and then move the document. It would be extremely helpful because I often work with large pages as infinity canvas and I can't move the viewport to a different location with a mouse.

  17. With the recent update, folder and notebook sizes in the menu view have been reduced, making them appear much smaller. While some users may prefer this, others might find it harder to navigate or recognize their folders and notebooks easily. It would be great to have an option to customize their sizes, allowing users to make them larger if needed for better visibility and usability. A simple size adjustment setting would ensure that everyone can personalize their menu experience to their preference.

  19. Please give the option for users to group and ungroup items. "Send to back" and "Send to front" is not enough. For example, a user pastes an image with text. User highlights text on image. If the image is selected (even in error), the highlight is moved to back and no longer visible. I can select "Send to front" but it is no longer aligned with the text on the image.
