  1. Hey, it would be really nice and helpful to add Bulgarian as recognised language. I see that Russian is available which also uses the Cyrillic alphabet, hopefully Bulgarian will be available soon too!

  2. For Goodnotes 6, the search function is way poorer than it was in Goodnotes 5. It was now harder to search for some words that I can easily find in Goodnotes 5. I don’t want to have a downgrade though so please, please improve the search button to find more accurate.

    If it’s not too much to ask, could we have an option as well to change color of searched words in search button? Because it’s only in orange color and it’s hard if we we’re using orange highlighter.

    Thank you so much.

  3. I have to add an outline for each new thing I write. But I would love to be able to group the so they can collapse. I have to scroll so much to get to what I want to get through because I have so many! I thought with the new features that would be done already since I see something similar has been proposed in 2017! For $23 I should be able to group my things into one heading. The way it is when I download a planner from YOUR own market. Please. The scrolling is getting old.

  4. I loved notability for this but I prefer Goodnotes for note taking, but we could adjust the spacing between the lines on lined paper. I find the spacing on Goodnotes narrow lined paper is too large for me and I’d love to be able to adjust it.

  5. Using Apple or Google or other accounts to login to good notes is a terrible privacy practice. Why would I want to share my good notes data with those companies and why would I want to share my other data with Good Notes. Will not be upgrading so long as v6 requires account login without an email address option.

  7. When importing a pdf into Goodnoes, they should by default go into the active folder, not into “Documents” root.
    You guys had it right in Goodnotes 5 but not in 6, I have had to revert back to 5 until this is solved. When it works properly, I can upgrade.

  8. When creating custom outlines, Goodnotes' current behavior is to order any same-page outline sections alphabetically. I'd love to be able to arbitrarily reorder them for the sake of coherence and clarity. For example:

    1. I add a section on [page 58] titled "Act I, Scene 7".

    2. Further down on [page 58], I'd like to add a section titled "9. PARKER FAMILY SINGALONG".

    If you look at the included screenshot, you'll see that the order of what's on the page can't be preserved by the outline because there's no way to reorder same-page sections within an outline. This can lead to some…

  11. Sometimes I want to be able to organize my color pallets depending on the mood/theme of my layout, it’s mentally exhausting just having one big mixed list!

  12. This is what I primarily use the app for, this version is really disappointing for this reason, making students in my study group all purchase this makes me using his app useless, I’m going to look for another one with shareable flashcards features, it’s too bad I really liked this one

  13. I would like to share notes with others (expecially non-goodnote users) in view only mode. As a result, I would not be worried about unwanted modifications of my notes, while being able to share information.

  14. The marketplace available in Goodnotes 6 doesn’t appear to be searchable, so instead of scrolling dozens of planners it would be good to search “travel” for example and find content that matches.

  16. I’ve been using Goodnotes for two years now for school and love the app, but there is no way I’m going to pay for an app. I’m gone already on just update it.

  18. GoodNotes 6 has an annoying quirk: I'll be writing along and suddenly a word will vanish as I write it. IT's not any one word, nor any combination of strokes in particular. I would call it intermittent, but it happens with aggravating regularity. It's only begun since upgrading to 6; I'm writing the same way I did in GoodNotes 5 and it never did this. Am I alone in experiencing this issue?

  19. For handwritten notes, there's nothing better. But at the moment, the app is geared too heavily towards the iPad, rather than cross-platform.

    I picked up my phone to type a quite to-do list this morning, (to keep everything in one place, rather than using the Apple Notes app), and the text was tiny. Creating a bulleted list was more difficult than it should've been. There was no option to properly format a bullet point list/add indents. And no checklist feature, to add tickable to-dos when you're using a keyboard (rather than an Apple pencil).

    Cross-compatibility for this kind of thing…
