  1. It would be nice if Android and Windows finally got the same capabilities as Apple. Adding new fonts, uploading stickers, and many other things unfortunately don't work at all. This has been a known issue for years.

  5. After the update ,goodnotes 6 is missing a feature to lock the text box. This is very inconveinet now. I like to handwritting over a tex box, but the tex box is keep moving around while i‘m handwriting whithout the feature. Or maybe I can‘t find that after the update. Could you let me know where I can find that feature? This is very essential feature to me.

  6. Design a novel user interface (UI) incorporating features and aesthetics reminiscent of the Liquid Glass technology employed in the iPhone. This design concept aims to create a sleek and distinctive visual experience.

  7. 工具列以前的比更新後的好,不需要分類點擊,不但會增加遮擋頁面的面積,還只會增加我們在操作上的點擊次數,使操作更麻煩,而且為什麼只能更改大項目的順序、小項目的不行?

  8. The typing notebook beta option is nice however it would be nice if it could be a template you could insert into any notebook like it was previously this the option to write, add text, or read only. Having it being isolated to just a note book makes it difficult to take notes and add written comments or highlights. Also the new note taking is annoying without a keyboard mainly for copy and paste but also to change the font size.

  9. You guys used to have a feature for my Surface Pro. When I use the non writing end of my pencil it erases. But since the new update it no longer works correctly. When I use the eraser feature it keeps the eraser selected. But it should be switching back to the writing feature when I use the writing side. You changed this on me in the middle of my semester and I've been using Goodnotes for over a year now. I don't like the other apps to take note on but this really messes me up and slows my…

  10. It would be great to be able to share and collaborate on learning sets as it is possible for other documents. Right now, you need to export the entire file, so the other person will work from another version, and the two will not synchronise

  11. There should be an option for pdfs where goodnotes highlighter can auto highlight phrases or sentence lines like a pdf reader.

    It already can select words in pdf, might as well add this functionality.

  12. It would be ideal if pages could be expanded or collapsed,
    similar to chapters.
    When working with multiple pages in a document (as shown in the image),
    this feature would reduce the visible page count and allow users
    to expand them again when needed.

    Es wäre perfekt, wenn man Seiten auf oder zuklappen könnte.
    Etwa so wie Kapitel.
    Wenn man mehrere Seiten in einem Dokument hat, wie im Bild zu sehen.
    Dadurch reduziert man die Seiten und wenn man sie braucht dann klappt man sie
    einfach wieder auf.

  13. The new Goodnotes Whiteboard feature is great, yet it doesn’t come in lined paper. I would really appreciate it, since the grid is very messy-looking and the dots are not precise enough for my wonky handwriting.

  14. I would like to suggest a feature that prevents words from splitting. Every time I write into a text box the words get split. One part of the word is at the end of the line and the other half on a new line. It would be great if good notes added a feature for hyphenation just like Ms Word, Adobe InDesign etc.

  15. After updating to GN6 the input keep reverting back to the lasso tool. If im typing in a box and happen to tap out side the box it automatically reverts to lasso. And i have to go back and tap on the text option to start typing again.

  16. Until now i have been paying per the yearly plan, because i wasn‘t sure if i would be continuing my use of the app. Now i would like to change to the one time payment option, but i do not know where i could switch. Under payment methods in the apple store they just show me the yearly payment plans.

  18. Pencil settings like Color and thickness should be synced between all devices using the same GoodNotes account. So you can use the same Color for highlighters across all devices.

  19. In the current beta, the ability to type text directly into classic notebooks (e.g., DIN A4) has been removed. Instead, text can now only be added via individual text boxes. At the same time, you introduced the new “Text Documents” – a fantastic feature that I find very well implemented.

    However, the current setup lacks the flexibility to combine both writing methods within a notebook. Many users – myself included – like to work in a way where we write with the stylus on one page, type on the next A4 page, and then switch back to handwriting again. This…
