  2. I love the tape feature, but it’s annoying that the PDF backups of my goodnotes files on google drive have tape on them. It’s useful if it’s in the app, but it’s not for backups. Goodnotes, please fix this! Give us an option to remove tape on backups and exports.

  3. I would be happy to purchase more allocated disk space! I use Goodnotes for my planner and I can't delete anything. I would pay $100 a year for satisfactory disk space.

  4. Hello,

    I work for a school IT Department, and an Issue I have is we use Apple School Manager to manage all of our Ipads that the teachers use, the issue we face is all of them love good notes and have collectively agreed that goodnotes 6 is the way forward, but I have at the moment had to say no as MDM software at this time does not allow you to make in-app purchases, Which is why I have come here to suggest that you make a separate paid for goodnotes app that comes with the full version of…

  5. Currently when you are highlighting or using the eraser , the tapes can not be toggled to be transparent and back again. You have to select the pen or tape tool to do that. It would be way easier if you could also toggle the tape on and off while using the highlighter and the eraser .please see if that could be done. Thanks.

  7. Imagine a button that you put near a definition and after click on it. Appears smaller page where you can write your own explanation or answer.

    For example you have homework. There is a question and not enough space to answer it. So you add this little button that opens extra smaller page where you can answer questions fully.

    When reviewing notes for test, you find similar question and because of stress you received you cannot understand the little answer u wrote between lines. With new possible feature you open this button and there’s a normal size font to read…

  8. I have an iPad Air 5th generation m1, I can’t use the pro palette function which really disgruntled me. I suggested a feature a while back suggesting an alternative optional wheel menu for the toolbar instead of the regular straight toolbar at the top or bottom, now I discover that this format is available but only for Apple Pencil pro compatible devices which is incredibly disappointing.

    I really suggest expanding the wheel/palette format to the entire toolbar, pencil pro users can keep the squeeze feature and people who don’t use Apple Pencil pro would also be able to enjoy the…

  9. I ALWAYS have my iPad in landscape orientation. So when trying to edit colors & hex codes, I have to turn my iPad in portrait to access the hex codes cause the pop up won’t scroll down. Very annoying.

  10. I wish the sidebar when looking at your documents, when using the iPad, could be permanently closed & only open when I decide to hit the icon. It’s really annoying when I open my app & this sidebar is taking up a quarter of my app, all my files shift when I close it.
    Don’t get me wrong it’ll stay closed for a while, but if I don’t use the app for a little bit & go back in, the sidebar is open again. This isn’t the worst thing, but when it does happen, it’s a neusance.

  11. I would love to have a music sheet as a “standard” slide, like the squared and dotted. It would make it easier if I want to write down some music or if I need to add extra parts to the piece I’m playing.
    It should be the 5 lined music sheets not to guitar for me, but both would probably be used.

  12. Hello,
    wouldn´t it be greate to use the amazing "E-Mail to goodnotes" feature with the option to save the PDF into a folder in goodnotes instead to the homedirectory?
    Would love to see this soon!

    I import many pdf´s daily with this methode to goodnotes and it takes much time to sort this automaticaly send pdf´s all the time.

  15. As someone who struggles with a physical illness (hand tremors), having a drawn line snap to the background grid of a page or having anything snap to a grid pattern of a page, would really, really help. It seems bizarre that this very basic feature is not available as its available on Notability. It's the single reason I can't switch over completely to Goodnotes, as just about everything is great, except for that very, very important feature.

  18. Similar to the apple and google touch and hold on an image to isolate it from a picture and then copy and paste it to your GoodNotes page, the lasso tool also lasso’s parts of the background, I would love the ability to touch and hold an image and be able to grab it from a page copy and paste it or create an element sticker with it to use later. As it is now I have to open my photos and utilize this feature. There are times I have inserted a shape or text and the lasso tool doesn’t…

  19. As I have my problems with handwriting one straight line from left to right, one solution might be automatic straightening.
    One problem here could be that text that is actually set lower or higher is also set to the same height.

    Another solution would perhaps be a mode in which temporary help lines appear under the handwriting to show you where you should continue writing.
    This would also be good for line breaks.
    It would be great if you could also set the line spacing yourself.
