  2. 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!

  4. I would like there to be a text recognition function (OCR) inside Goodnotes 6 so that it is possible to search for paragraphs of text in the various documents by writing certain words in the search bar, even if the PDF I am searching for is in non-editable image format (a bit like what is done with the iPhone gallery app)

    Also a function to convert the texts of non-editable PDFs into copyable and editable text but at the same time having careful attention to not modify the layout of the page, such as PDF X-CHANGE FOR Windows

  5. I noticed that while scrolling through large documents with the toolbar in the downward position, the scroll bar tends to disappear behind the toolbar. The scroll bar then becomes impossible to ‘grab’ without manually scrolling to a higher point in the document where the scroll re-emerges again.
    I left a few screenshots to try and illustrate this issue.
    Thank you in advance !

  7. Requesting the ability to create a sticker which contains an added link, which can be edited as needed, mainly for the use of repeat pasting to pages.

    Example: I have created a document which has internal page links throughout. I want to add a sticker that already has a link embedded to a specific page within the document.

    Otherwise, I am unable to group together a sticker with a text link to copy and paste into other portions of the document as needed.

  8. GoodNotes is fantastic for handwritten notes, but it lacks deeper organizational tools like the page hierarchies available in OneNote.

    Adding features such as pages, subpages, and sections would significantly improve the ability to manage complex projects, studies, or work materials.
    This would not only enhance productivity but also allow users to navigate their notes with greater clarity, all while preserving the joy of handwriting.

    Implementing this would provide users with better control and structure, making GoodNotes an even more powerful tool for both personal and professional use.

  9. I tried the new timer tool and I like that I can see the time passing at the top but it doesn’t make any sound when the timer ends. I think it shows a message at the top but if I’m involved in different apps or in books and I’m not looking I miss it.

    The timer should make a sound, an alert that tells me time is up.

  10. The ruler is used with the pen tool to write straight lines. I need it to also work with the eraser tool to erase straight lines. I am creating a drawing with sharp edges and the eraser simply passes through the ruler.

  11. In the past you blended out the tab bar if there is only ONE notebook open. this was good because it did not distract me as I was writing.
    Could you please reactivate that? Or better bring an option where the tab bar can be hidden. Like a button or something?

  12. I use Goodnotes for studying. So I thought that making a sheet of a study planner would work well. I can see my schedule within Goodnotes at once. I think it would be beneficial, instead of carrying study planner books instead.(= carrying studying books makes my bag heavier and also makes less room in my backpack to put more books in.)

  13. I have Goodnotes 5 and I am happy with it. I don't need Goodnotes 6. As I have bought this from you, you weren't supposed to show me any add about your new product! Please stop annoyingly showing Goodnotes 6 upgrade notification & features. Or you should add an option to stop viewing it.

  16. The new post it feature is great but i would love to have the option of making them see-through. I think it would be really useful for studying so you can put it over an image to label it and then minimise it to review. Or just to add extra notes without disrupting what’s under or if you’re taking notes of an already typed PDF file where you can’t change the text underneath.

  17. Please allow the tool bar to be moved to the sides, containing it to the top or bottom limits my ability to access all toolbar options quickly since I have to scroll to get different pen colors and time is precious in classes where the professor lectures quickly. And especially as a left handed person, I would love to be able to move the tool bar to the right side please.

  19. I would like to have the ability to print out PDFs so I can place them directly next to a picture, text or another PDF on the Canva. I know that OneNote for example already offers this and I used it very frequently.

  20. Allow the color pallet to be dragged away from its location at the top of the page, allowing for users to have quicker access to different pen colors anywhere they want on the page instead of being limited to just the top.
