  2. The new pencil tool is nice to write with. However, the pencil tool does not seem to be able to use pen gesture and handwriting recognition as well as the pen. Hopefully in the future, pencil tools can also use these features.

  4. Zoom minimum is 25%, I can't zoom out any further, despite still not being able to see the whole page. When I try, it snaps back to 25. I've tried the "add another bigger page" hack and I cannot make it work. Please change the zoom system so we can view an entire page at once.

  5. please let us customise the square size and the distance between lines when creating a notebook.
    I would love to be able to make smaller squares as my handwritting is rather small

  6. When using the selection tool, one can choose which type of objects should be selected or ignored with the toggles. This is not possible for shapes, either the ones drawn using the pen and snapping or the ones using the shape tool. Adding a toggle would make things a lot easier.

  7. Sometimes when I add a photo and use the pen, the photo moves around randomly, which is inconvenient. Please add a photo pinning function!

  8. It would be very helpful to have more possibilities to customize an format typed text. The current way of typing text does work but notes often look bulky and there is no good way to change it.

    Something like Markdown, more bullet point levels, "fit text to lines"... would make hybrid hand-written and typed notes much easier.

  9. 虽然goodnotes 6提供了直尺以及形状工具,但对于绘图作业,这些工具仍然不够。希望添加圆规,量角器等工具,以便绘制出精准尺寸的形状。

  10. Include both an image and a text box on the front of a flashcard (e.g., an image with a related question) would greatly enhance flexibility!!

  11. I’ve been enjoying Goodnotes for most of my classes, however I find when it comes to taking notes for my electric circuit analysis classes, my drawing ability on a tablet starts to lack. So I suggest including symbols for general ECE components into the shapes library OR have an option to create custom shapes (more applicable than just ECE) that could be added to the shapes library. I enjoy the shape-snap function because it’s quick, and I need that for those fast paced lectures.

  13. It’s almost 2025 and GoodNotes has no feature to smooth and stabilize writing with the Apple Pencil. A lot of people prefer to hand write notes as using ‘scribble’ can be tedious at times, especially to those with poor handwriting which GoodNotes seems to ensure regardless of how well you write. I find it confusing that this wasn’t added a long time ago as it’s not a difficult feat compared to something like ‘word complete’ or other AI technology they have implemented is…

  15. I recently received a Samsung Galaxy tablet from the workplace for use. I am an ipad user at home. I had no problem with downloading goodnote app when using ipad. However, downloading the Goodnote app from a Galaxy tablet took me a while. It required me to access my Samsung or Google email accounts to download the app. Since I don't have a Samsung account, it took me another few minutes to download the app through my Google account. I need clarification on why iPad users can freely download the app while Galaxy tablet users must log in to a…

  16. To be able to upload an image/pdf and have AI generate a copy of the text within that image/pdf to be able to copy and paste it. I often find myself having to re-type something from an image or an app (that doesn’t allow me to copy) so having this feature would work wonders. Brandfolder.com have an offer of 5 free uses a day for extracting text from a file, if you would like to try it! (:

  17. Just like the laser pen but stays on the page until I turn it off. This way, I can cover the notes with tape and work through my calculations with a temporary pen without messing up my notes.

  20. When opening only one file, the location of the closed file and the location of the three dots on the split screen on the iPad are too close to each other, so it is easy to click wrong!
