  1. 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.

  2. 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…

  5. 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!

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  12. 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?

  13. 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…

  19. I use many different types of devices such as Mac computer, Windows PC, iPad, Android. I know this seems weird but I do use them daily. And I need an app/program other than One Note from Microsoft. If my notes can be synchronized and loaded from all the different types of devices I would appreciate so much. Since there are not many that supports Mac/Windows/iOS/iPad OS/Android and you are one of the few, I really hope to see you supporting this feature. Thank you.

  20. When I write on a sticker, like a memo or post-it note, my handwriting doesn't stay on the sticker when I move the sticker. The sticker separate from the handwriting when I move the sticker. Notability does this beautifully. In Notability, when I write on a sticker, and when I move the sticker, the sticker moved together with my handwriting on it. When I rotate the sticker, my handwriting rotate together with the sticker. In Goodnotes, I have to lasso both my handwriting and sticker in order to move it, which is cumbersome and not natural (i.e. not how I…
