  1. It would be great to have a feature where double-tapping on the pen thickness icon lets users seamlessly toggle between line styles, such as solid, dashed and dotted. Instead of having to open the context menu.

  2. I suggest the function of short-answer questions. Currently, I know that there is the function "study set", but we can pass a question despite we didn't memorize it accurately. So, it can be prohibited by make the type of question of "short-answer question".

    More specific form is as below.
    Form of the document is same with the study set. However, the method which it tests us will become "short-answer questions". Only if we write the accurate answer, we can pass to the next question. If we don't know about the answer, click the 'answer' button, then we can see the…

  3. I’ve noticed that the lengths on the ruler do not align perfectly with the boxes on the checkered sheets. Fixing this alignment issue would greatly improve accuracy and usability.

  4. Be able to scale a picture from corner, rather than centre. So, top left corner stays put, and dragging the bottom right corner of a picture scales the picture proportionately (and the top left corner stays fixed)

  5. Be able to scale a picture by dragging from the corner rather than center-scaling. So, Top Left corner stays fixed, dragging the bottom right corner enlarges the picture proportionately. Perhaps by pressing the Option button while dragging the corner?

  6. As a student, I often have my uni books in epub format and it would be great to have the possibility to modify/annotate them as we alreadu can with pdf. I know you can convert EPUb to PDF easily, but it doesnt always come out right, so EPUB support would be easier and more comfortable

  7. You can not delete the duplication until restart of the app. Then the old picture/text etc. disappears and only appears at the intended place. It‘s really annoying. Also if you zoom in to write sometimes parts of the strokes or dots disappear. You have to either overwrite it to fix it or erase/undo and write again.

  8. To take better notes, consider viewing multiple pages simultaneously by collapsing text between two points, similar to the functionality in Liquid Text. This allows for a clear overview of related content while minimizing distractions and maximizing productivity.

  13. In the current version of GoodNotes 6, after displaying multiple masking tapes for memorization purposes, each one needs to be tapped individually to hide them, which is quite tedious. Therefore, I believe there is a need for a button that can hide all displayed masking tapes at once.

    原文(Japanese):
    現在のgoodnotes6では、複数のマスキングテープを表示して暗記に使った後、毎回それぞれをタップして非表示にする必要があります。これは、かなり面倒です。従って、表示したマスキングテープを一括に隠せるボタンを作る必要があると考えます。

  15. Students often struggle with professors’ PDF slides featuring unusual or difficult color combinations. A practical solution to this issue would be introducing a new feature in GoodNotes: the ability to convert documents into black-and-white mode, enhancing readability and usability.

  16. The space that the current toolbar takes on smaller ipads very large, designing a option to toggle the toolbar into a small movable window like in notability would drastically improve the space for smaller devices.
    I have been thinking of switching over for this exact reason but would like to see if this could be implemented first.
    Thank you.

  17. I use the text tool many times on Mac, but the color keeps reverting to black. Even though I created my own preset and removed black from it, it still reverts to black. If the text tool could default to the first color in the preset like pen tool, it would be much more convenient.

  20. It would be practical to be able to let certain slides or information (text, pictures, ...) appear or disappear by various animations!
