  1. i use good notes on my windows laptop and can't find a way to select a few pages only from a notebook, i also think there should be a way to export only a part of the document not the whole file

  3. Since you have added math conversion. Would it be great if the text can also use the latex code and then convert it immediately? Especially if you are typing on keyboards. You just want to type the math notation in latex code rather than using apple pencil and then convert it one by one....

  4. I'm using the Good Note 6 as an iPad, and I usually take a lot of notes. Please add an Apple Pencil tilt deactivation function in the standard pencil. I want to prevent the writing from getting thicker depending on the tilt because it's uncomfortable to take notes.

  5. Please increase the import size for documents in Android. 250mb is quite short

  6. The collapsible sticky note feature is really great! However, when you open it again it opens as a comment and not as a sticky note. Would it be possible to have it open as a sticky note again, and maybe also have the choice on what it should look like (number, symbol, size) when collapsed. This could really help my notes taking!

  8. In the document you are currently editing, you can set a small link to another document or a page in a document in which, for example, the same topic is described or useful additional information has already been written down. If you then click on it, the document or the page opens directly as a normal document.
    The whole thing is then displayed either as a mini-file, as with OneNote, or as a link.

  9. I wanted to share some feedback and a request for GoodNotes 6. I noticed many users, including myself, are looking forward to a new feature update we’ve seen discussed online. This feature would be incredibly useful for me, especially since I often watch tutorials on YouTube and record them on my iPad Pro 12. When I’m importing content and need to take notes, this feature would be a game changer. I’ve been a fan of GoodNotes 6 since I bought it and have seen it improve over time. I’m really hoping for a smooth integration of this feature in the…

  13. Instead of having a separate color pallet for pens/ highlights/ text, have the option to use colors from one pallet on another tool. Ex: using pen color presets for text or highlighters. I often use the same color in different tools for my notes but in doing so I have to create the same color pallet for each tool.

  14. Please change the flash card mode so we can have both writing mode (that is the mode that doesn’t require the text button in drawing mode) and at the same time paint over what is written.

    It should be the same as the normal notebooks but in the flash card mode.

    Also, it should have templates too, so you can change your flash cards background to for example squared or dotted paper.

    The uploaded file shows the features a flash card should have, the same ones as the notebook.

  15. I’ve noticed that when exporting a PDF with Handwriting Recognition enabled in GoodNotes, the file size becomes significantly larger if the Recognition Language is set to Japanese and includes handwritten Japanese text. In many cases, the file size increases by more than five times, depending on the document content.

    For comparison, when I scan a Japanese document using a document scanner and apply OCR with Adobe Acrobat (Windows version), the resulting PDF file size does not increase as drastically. This suggests that the file size issue when adding transparent Japanese text to PDFs may not be unavoidable.

    I believe the…

  16. I usually type notes on my laptop using the text box setting. However if I make changes such as drawing, highlighting etc on the IPad it becomes slightly shifted when looking at it on the laptop. Thank you

  17. Especially the highlighter - this is a standard Powerpoint document exported as a PDF and this is the largest highlighter size! It barely covers the title! Honestly having the maximum being absolutely huge would also be helpful if we may like to shade a whole background with a highlighter colour. Currently to get bigger highlighter regions I make a small rectangle with the highlighter and then select it as an object and enlarge it - I also wish we could adjust the width and height differently in that selection mode!

  18. Remember the last position of the ruler. So if I angle it at 90 degrees and then put it away, when I activate it again it is still vertical or in whatever past position I left it in

  19. It would be great if we could write notes off on the margins for pdfs or have a continuous note taking feature instead of having to add new pages to a document.

  20. Allow users to adjust the pencil's pressure sensitivity. This pencil is hard to write in a solid stroke without the users putting a very strong force. Also polish the stroke's shape so that when it's thicker, the writing will not diffuse. Apple's own pencil stroke will be a great example.
