  1. Please add 1.2x or 1.25x since 1.5x sometimes is too fast to catch up. Thanks!

  5. Pen colour automatically changes in shape tool if pen colour is changed in ball pen.

    example: I want to write with black ball pen but underline (using shape tool) using red colour. If I change my pen colour to black while writing and want to underline in red then my shape tool also shows black colour and I have to again change it to red.

  6. Add a grouping feature, similar to that in PPT or other MS apps, so areas of handrwriting, text, or other elements can be grouped together and moved or resized together easily, without having to tediously select desired elements with the Lasso tool.
    This way, drawings or diagrams with multiple sections can be layered and easily adjusted.

  7. As a med student that always write notes at the side i recommend paper margins which it can extend your pdf to write notes. Also layers for active recalling , its a great help and i discovered this in noteful app and its very very useful. Also the tags easy to navigate and well organized. I forgot, the suboutline also easy to navigate. I hope you guys add this features its very helpful for us students.

  8. Improve pencil drawing quality - currently too light to use and must be part of pen options rather than standalone as present.

  10. Right now, one can select text and press "mark". I want to perform the same action just by using the apple pencil without any effortful interim steps. Using the normal marker right now, I have to focus on drawing neatly to receive uniform marking results that are straight and neat.

  12. It is surprising me how could you excluded the language ‘Malayalam’ from Goodnotes. I would like to continue with Goodnotes as well as iOS. I think this simple change will help you grow potentially. Until I can write the language with handwriting recognition I will not go for an apple product further. I use Samsung tablet, android provides greater options to use the language ‘Malayalam’.

  13. Since handwritten recognition only work on Flatten export, and Editable is much bigger, it would be great to have the option to choose to include outlines in the Flatten Export.
    It could be a selectable option when exporting to PDF (Like including handwritten recognition)

    • Presets of tool combinations: Allow users to save and access frequently used combinations of tool settings directly from the toolbar.

    • Example 1: A preset for creating diagrams could include a dashed line, red color, 5pt thickness, and the ruler tool enabled.

    • Example 2: A preset for annotating text could include a yellow highlighter with 50% opacity and a black pen set to 2pt thickness.

    • Time-saving feature: Eliminates the need to manually reconfigure tools each time, streamlining workflows!!!!

    • Enhanced usability: Tailor tool combinations for specific tasks and access them quickly with a single click.

    (My problem: I have three pen sizes…

  15. We can write in the infinite grey space on either side of the documet. Doesn't have to show up when printing anything (only print out the page / inserted document). Or have numerous options to format it differently like OneNote when printing things out with annotations on the side.

  17. 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。

  19. There is an issue with the usage of the Apple Pencil Pro.

    First, when using the pen with the hover feature is enabled, the writing experience feels significantly different compared to when it is disabled. Specifically, enabling the hover feature causes severe strokes or unintended extensions in the written text.

    Second, please fix the pencil experience. There is an issue with drawing curved shapes, where part of the shape turns into a dotted line. Additionally, the pencil tool appears too faint, leading to reduced visibility.
