  1. It is recommended to add a zoom‑lock feature. After zooming in to a suitable position with two‑finger gestures, the zoom level will change again if you swipe left or right across the interface with two fingers.

  2. Default Font for Sticky Notes – Please add an option to set a default font, font size, and formatting specifically for Sticky Notes, so users don’t have to manually change the font every time they create a new one.

  3. Could you add a middle-click to drag, or any other easy way to navigate a Whiteboard with a mouse?

    Navigating a Whiteboard with a mouse is unintuitive compared to how easily it's done with a trackpad. Currently, the only way is to use the small preview window at the bottom left corner, which can be quite limiting depending on your zoom level.

    Thanks in advance.

  4. I am writing this suggestion as a response to how obnoxious it is to set up a workflow that mirrors the Goodnotes Library across different, external applications.

    The current system has obvious limitations; the automatic Backup to Google Drive (or DropBox, OneDrive and WebDAV) is very useful for keeping an up-to-date PDF copies of Goodnotes documents, however it behaves solely as a backup rather than a true mirror (this is fine, but there is an audience that desires a true mirror that isn't accommodated for, even if they themselves don’t fully know how useful it would be). Currently:

  5. Ich wünsche mir eine Erweiterung der bereits vorhandenen gelben Haftnotizen (“Sticky Notes”) um eine Option, mit der diese Notizzettel – inklusive ihres Inhalts – nicht auf einen extern angeschlossenen Bildschirm oder Beamer gespiegelt werden.

    Anwendungsfall:
    Beim Präsentieren oder Unterrichten über einen externen Monitor/Beamer möchte ich mir private Notizen, Stichpunkte oder Erinnerungen auf einem Sticky Note direkt auf meinem eigenen Gerät (iPad) machen können, ohne dass diese für das Publikum auf der Leinwand sichtbar sind – ähnlich wie ein “Presenter-Notizen”-Modus, wie man ihn z. B. aus PowerPoint kennt.

    Gewünschtes Verhalten:

    • Der Notizzettel bleibt auf dem eigenen Gerät sichtbar und bearbeitbar.

  6. It would be very helpful to be able to select multiple images when inserting them and then reduce their file size. I have notebooks that are very large because they contain many images; this often causes backups to fail because the process takes so long.

  12. I'll start off by saying the current process is not a problem or issue, just unnecessary sometimes. That said, is there any interest or current development to allow one to name a page, visible in the sidebar/menu, that does not create an actual outline? I title my pages for ease in location and most often use the Pages view to locate what I need. Titling the individual pages is helpful as the thumbnails can be difficult to see on iPad or iPhone screens, not so much on MB. But creating a page title doesn't need to always create an outline.…

  13. Es wäre sehr hilfreich, wenn man mit dem Lasso nicht nur bestimmte Bereiche temporär einfangen und verschieben/anpassen könnte. Eine dauerhafte Gruppierung wie in Word wäre hilfreich.

  14. Self-Correction/Check Feature: I use the Tape tool for active recall, but I need a way to mark whether I got the answer right or wrong. Please refer to the Wordmasking app and implement a feature to track and review incorrect answers for more efficient studying.

  15. Pen Sub-tools: I use pen-related sub-tools more frequently than the main tools. Please allow users to pin pen sub-tools directly to the main toolbar for quicker access.

    Dedicated Shortcuts: Adding links and converting text currently requires too many taps. Please provide an option to add these specific functions as individual icons on the main toolbar.

  16. Scribble-to-Text Consistency: When converting handwriting to text, it defaults to a generic style. It would be much more efficient if the converted text automatically applied the user’s currently selected custom text style.

  17. Custom Text Styles: Currently, only one default style can be saved. Please allow users to create and save multiple custom text presets. Additionally, include letter spacing (kerning) as a customizable parameter within these styles.

  18. Text Tool Enhancements

    Text Input Issues: Since upgrading to Goodnotes 6, typing has become frustrating. When clicking to type, the app often selects the entire PDF text block instead of placing a cursor. Please allow users to tap anywhere to start typing immediately without triggering existing text blocks. Currently, it's particularly difficult with a mouse or finger compared to the Apple Pencil.

  20. I'm a gymnastics coach and I use Goodnotes to plan practices and write down drills. It would be so helpful to quickly reference a video of a new drill we’re trying for the first time, or help my gymnasts better understand a new skill they’re working on. My little stick figure drawings can only do so much.
