  1. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am a long-time user of GoodNotes on my Macbook and greatly appreciate the app. However, during my usage, I have identified some areas for improvement that could significantly enhance the user experience.

    Firstly, I would like to suggest optimizing GoodNotes for Macbook users, particularly with regards to the writing experience. It would be fantastic if the app could automatically detect that it is running on a Macbook and adjust the writing width accordingly. This would eliminate the need for users to manually adjust settings constantly to achieve the optimal…

  2. The study set is a very nice feature, but it is not fully functional yet. One of my requests regarding the study set is the ability to change the size of the cards. In its current state, it is difficult to use, especially when in edit mode, as the letters are small and hard to read. It would be very nice if this were implemented.

  3. Instead of downloading documents one by one, it would be better if I could upload folders already organized from my computer to Goodnotes, like on google drive

  4. Next to the voice record button or add page button (for example) instead of having to exit document editing and then go to the main settings menu (esp since it already takes so long for iCloud to sync and it fails often so it needs to be refreshed constantly). This would at least save a little time until the iCloud sync function itself can be fixed.

  5. Allows users to ask questions about certain topics without having to exit the app. Incredibly useful and time saving. It can save time for finding maths formulae or answers for many other topics.

  7. 画布的缩放大小与画笔的书写效果息息相关。同一个画笔在不同大小的画布上写出来的效果是不一样的,这样导致我每次都要调整画布大小以适应最佳的画笔书写效果。所以非常期待画布缩放大小时能展示数值。这样我就能快速调整画布大小。

  9. Documents show the total number of pages instead of the page number in the book. It would be nice if the page numbers on Goodnotes corresponded to the page numbers in the book itself. (skipping the contents and earlier pages)

  11.     GN6工具栏越来越臃肿,切换颜色时,笔尖需要横移的距离太远,耽误时间,影响使用体验!
       就像“多页签”一样,GN6开发者太过固执:以Notability、Noteshelf为代表的行业内大多数采取的新方案被GN开发者忽视,甚至用户提供的方案也不会快速响应并讨论开发!
       比如,尺子,该票数最高的提案于4~5年前提出,至今才满足票选条件!
    
       而用户想要GN6越来越好的愿望几乎不可实现,现有功能纯粹就是草草对标Notability,但功能细节处理远不及Notability,而开发者还嘴硬说“他们认为这样更好”,可用户实际使用场景下,一切并不像开发者所说那样。
    
       对于一个固执、不求进步、贪图短期利益的app及开发者,Goodnotes系列产品已不值得期待!
       因为GN6根本没有发挥出AI的更多用途且存在隐性限制:每次AI建议的字数有限,不适合长段落文字,而对此,开发者选择沉默不作回应;
      笔划手势无法像Nebo、Notability那样,与文本框、打字机模式联动,彼此之间纯粹靠Apple pencilkit强行支撑。
    
      我想问问开发者,你们开发的产品,自家孩子有用吗?自己有用吗?
      通常连续使用多长时间?有没有超过一节课40min ?
      高强度随课记笔记、画草图、画逻辑框架、作标注,你能遇到那些不太完善的地方?
      如果只是没事写几个字、作作日历规划,Apple备忘录、无边际不香吗?
      事实是,更多用户因为纸笔涂改麻烦、笔记强度高,才不得已选择电子笔记本!
      而,开发者根本没有认识到Goodnotes在高强度使用场景下常遇到的问题亟需优化!

  12. I write with my Apple Pencil when doing notecards, and having lines would make them a lot neater. I spend an annoying amount of time adding them myself

  13. For notes taking in class, I take a lot of pictures of projected screen. Then when inserting those pictures into my notes, GoodNotes will only put them on page with a very limited size. I want to resize those pictures on page, but then the aspect ratio will be changed because I can only stretch them either vertically or horizontally at a time, not both at the same time.

    I think GN should add a button at the corner of resizing the picture to keep the original aspect ratio.

  14. In the current Goodnotes application, it is only possible to draw lines or quadratic functions, which makes it hard to draw cubic function graphs or graphs with higher degrees. It would be much better if graphs with degrees over three (preferably cubic function graph and quartic function graph) also got automatically corrected when the user draws them.

  15. An option to resize imported PDF pages would help each notebook feel more cohesive, especially for those using vertical scrolling. It would be nice to have a feature that automatically matches the width of each imported page to that of the current template so that all the pages in the document have the same width.

  17. I learn with the study set and like to mark the cards that I need to revise.
    Since Good Notes 6, a page number isn't shown at all what makes it impossible for me to use the practice mode.

  18. When I connect my ipad to an external display using stage manager, a bug appears. In this situation I have firstly the goodnotes application open and displayed on my ipad and secondly any document or application open and displayed on the external screen. So when I open a new goodnotes document on my ipad or change document via the taskbar, this automatically zooms in on the external screen, placing the application or home screen out of frame on the external screen. This bug is very annoying because it appears every time I open or change a document on goodnotes and…

  20. Just a simple Addition to Goodnotes. The ability to see all open Documets and Files from the Homescreen, instead of having to open a file. This could be a separate folder under the marketplace for example which expands to show all the currently open notes
