  1. Improve pencil drawing quality - currently too light to use and must be part of pen options rather than standalone as present.

  2. We need the ability to adjust the opacity for the highlighter tool and maybe other tools like pen and stickers but right now the highlighter is most important

  3. Hallo,
    ich bin Lehrkraft und nutze ihre App in der Schule an einem digitalem Board. Auf dem iPad kann ich die Toolbar nach unten setzen, das würde ich mir auch für MacOS wünschen. Leider habe ich die Option nicht gefunden.

    Im besten fall wäre es so, dass ich nur die Werkzeugleiste verschieben kann ohne die offenen Dokumente

  4. When using the Zoom Window in addition the Auto Advance having the blue box on the left side of the screen is quite inefficient. I have been a long time of user (3 years+) and I have always thought that enabling the choice for the Blue Auto Advance Box to be either on the left or right would be HIGHLY useful!

  5. The pencil is transparent and lacks boldness and clarity. When zooming out the strokes can appear fragmented, which diminishes the overall visual quality of the notes. Add some adjustable opacity settings to offer a more defined stroke.

  6. I use Windows at work and iOS at home. I would like Goodnotes to sync between both devices WITH the ability to PASSWORD protect personal files independently from work files. Similarly to how GOogle drive has My Drive and Shared Drive. that way I can keep work separate from Personal

  7. I would love for the old function to classify a flashcard into different categories once I’ve tested myself (easy, difficult, very difficult, didn’t get it). Goodnotes used to have this option but it doesn’t have it anymore. I want a better spaced repetition algorithm for the study set.
    When I use it right now, I have too many flash cards at once (the really easy one and the hard one all at once).

  8. Additional Space for Notes Next to PDFs

    I’m a philosophy student in Germany, and I use GoodNotes to read and annotate PDFs, scrolling vertically through the pages. One feature I’ve always wished for is the ability to add extra space to the left and/or right side of the page.

    This would be a real game-changer for me. Currently, I often have to squeeze small notes into the margins of my documents, which feels cluttered. Having expandable note-taking areas next to the PDF would make annotating much more comfortable.

  9. Seeing that Goodnotes 6 has the capability to interpret/edit LaTeX obtained from handwriting in iOS, it should be possible to create new equations with the keyboard from a macOS.

  11. Merhaba GoodNotes Ekibi,

    Uygulamanızın son güncellemeleriyle birlikte gelen ses transkripti özelliği harika, ancak yalnızca İngilizce olarak kullanılıyor olması maalesef Türk kullanıcılar için büyük bir eksiklik. Rakip uygulama Notability bile Türkçe transkript desteği sunarken GoodNotes gibi lider bir uygulamada bu özelliğin eksik olması, biz kullanıcılar açısından olumsuz bir durum yaratıyor. Bu nedenle, Türkçe transkript desteğinin eklenmesini içtenlikle talep ediyoruz.

    Ek olarak, uygulama içi ürün fiyatlarının Türkiye’de doğrudan dolar kuruna bağlı olarak yüksek seviyelerde olması da Türk kullanıcılar için önemli bir erişim engeli oluşturuyor. Türkiye’nin ekonomik koşulları ve alım gücü göz önüne alındığında, Türkiye’ye özel bir fiyatlandırma politikasının uygulanması, uygulamanızın daha fazla…

  12. When using the lasso tool to cut/copy-paste images, pen, highlighter and shapes the lasso tool remains active after the desired paste action has been completed.

    When the lasso tool is used to perform the same cut/copy-paste function for text, once the text has been pasted the laso tool is dropped in favour of the text tool.

    Can the lasso tool remain the dominant feature after moving text please? I find myself inadvertently entering punctuation into the middle of text because the tool has defaulted without being actioned to do so

  13. It would be amazing for technical sketching if shapes would lock to the grid when either drawing or using the lasso tool. Additionally the circle shape should have their handles for resizing on the top, bottom, left and right (always) instead of somewhere random. A „snap to center“ option would be also great, so you could e.g. center one circle within another one easily.

  14. 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!

  16. The search tab is really helpful but sometimes it’s hard to see the highlighted word I am looking for. Adding the ability to change this color to something brighter would be very helpful!

  17. Could you please add support for turkish language transcription in the audio to text feature?
    And it could be great to have an option to send recorded audio separately to others

  18. 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....

  20. Apparently goodnotes 6 only provides 1 default font type in the "typing section",

    I suggest goodnotes to provide different text fonts in goodnotes, such as "Times New Roman", just like in the textbox feature.

    If this feature of providing different text font is also provided in the "typing section", this would be very useful, as some people are only used to a particular type of font.
