  1. Ask goodnotes is a good thing but needs some pretty obvious, low hanging improvements to be really usable.
    When you select "translate" from the quick actions in "Ask goodnotes" you need to enter the language every time! This is incredibly annoying. Obviously it needs to remember your selection.
    In addition, the language defaults to the language of the text, which is, in gentle terms, less than intelligent. Make it default to English or to the system's language....

  2. Ask goodnotes is a good thing but needs some pretty obvious, low hanging improvements to be really usable.
    When you mark a text and do "ask good notes", and then you want to repeat it for a different text, there's no reason why you should tap ask goodnotes again, the selection inside the "ask goodnotes" tab should automatically get updated.

  4. I work for a local government entity and I have several investigators that purchased goodnotes to use for their investigations. Due to this product not being a CJIS approved (certified app) they are not allowed to install and use the application on their departmental ipads. Is there any plans to get your product CJIS approved.

  5. I hope you introduce the catalan language in hand writing recognition. At this point the feature is useless for me.

    Regards on seeing it soon

  6. As it was available in the previous GoodNotes version! I can NOT write neatly without the zoom tool. Why was this feature taken away? :( Also a ruler tool was introduced, but it is not available for flashcards… Again – WHY?
    I had perfected GoodNotes flashcards, now they are completely useless to me. :X
    PLEASE MAKE THIS TOOLS AVAILABLE!

  7. The Pencil-tool is great and I love writing with it! Unfortunately I can‘t see what I have written with it, when I go to side-view. Please make it visible, as I then can see what I have written and it makes it easier to find old pages.

  8. I am writing to suggest some features that I believe would enhance the user experience of GoodNotes.
    As a regular GoodNotes user on both iPad and Mac, I would like to propose the addition of Page Up and Page Down functionality. Currently, users need to manually click the up and down buttons to navigate between pages, which is rather cumbersome and time-consuming.
    Additionally, I would appreciate having a dedicated keyboard shortcut for the "fit to page" view function, which is currently accessed by double-tapping. This would streamline the workflow significantly.
    These additions would greatly improve the navigation efficiency and overall…

  9. Currently, the maximum thickness of the highlighter is 7.7mm, but please increase it to 10mm.
    Even if I draw a highlighter on the 15pt letter written on the A4 paper size, it is inconvenient because the font is not completely covered at the moment.

  12. I like to build on my flashcards in chronological order and I wish there was an undo button because I have accidentally swiped right before I read it.

  14. I work a lot with PDF-files (most DIN-A4 / Textbooks etc.)
    It would be great to have a horizontal expansion option (if you´re on vertical scroll)
    For an A4 vertical baseplate one could do a vertical expansion with a DIN-A page of another size. (also would not have to be DIN Normed could just be any page)

    It would be great for taking notes or adding additional information in textbooks.

    If one would work through a text book it would be easy to just select all the expansion pages and copy them into a separate Notebook. Particularly for summaries.

  15. Fix bugs to make easier to type and work in the document with a laptop. For me the document is ALWAYS bugging (even after restarting everything), this includes: jumping a lot when scrolling, typing is very delayed and start to lag, adding pictures or even just going into "picture settings" takes very long due to lagging. I really love working with goodnotes and with the IPad everything always works perfectly! However, bugs in the macOS app makes it very hard. Thank you!

  16. Please add keyboard shortcut and pencil tap options to switch between edit and read-only. I use my iPad a lot with a keyboard or macro pad, and having a shortcut would make the experience so much better.

  17. When I try to install Goodnotes 6 from the AppStore on MacOS 15.0.1, it fails with the message "Macos 13.3 or later is required". From my point of view, 15 is newer than 13. You may have to extend the compatibility to current versions of MacOS.

  18. I think it would be good if we could see how much time we spent on a document, it could be really useful.

  19. Fix the known issue of the same typed notes doesn’t look the same in Goodnotes on iPadOS and MacOS. I need this fixed as I type a lot on both my iPad and Mac, especially I use the bulleted list. Seems like a font rendering issue.

  20. In dem Schreibmodus sollten die Seiten so miteinander verbunden sein, dass der Text automatisch auf die nächste Seite rutscht, sobald diese voll ist. Gerade bei Ergänzungen wäre es einfacher
