  1. The constant spell check nagging is going to drive me to remarkable. Spell check settings should be set at the user level not the notebook level. It especially should not be at the notebook level for each device.

  2. Hi Goodnotes Team,

    I’d like to request support for Wacom tablet integration in Goodnotes 6 on macOS — specifically for the Wacom Intuos Medium Bluetooth tablet. It would be incredibly helpful to have pen pressure sensitivity, palm rejection, and support for the ExpressKeys on macOS, similar to the seamless experience you’ve built for Apple Pencil on iPad.

    This would make the app significantly more usable for students, educators, and professionals who use drawing tablets for handwritten notes and diagrams on Mac.

    Thank you for considering this — I truly believe it would make Goodnotes even more powerful across platforms.

    Best…

  3. I am using goodnotes on mac with graphics tablet. It seems to me that adding hand tool would be really nice. It would let you scroll over your notes without touching mouse.
    P. S. Now I cant even use scrollbar, because it just doesn't appear after hovering your mouse

  4. I want the original document files on Google Drive to be accessible seamlessly from Windows and iOS. I don't want to use shared URLs or iCloud!

  7. Many times I am comfortable in writing on squared paper template but when I have to print some particular notes on plain pages then I have to change template from squared paper to blank paper paper for each page which takes total of 4 steps. To do this for hundreds of pages is very difficult

  8. 定規のようにオンオフができる手書き用グリッド線の表示機能をリスエストします!

    ノートの作成時は罫線やドットを選択できますが、PDFや読み込んだ画像には選択できません。
    表示のオンオフが可能かつノート自体のテンプレートには干渉しないグリッド線があれば、書き込みがさらに快適になると思います。
    ご検討のほど、よろしくお願いいたします!

  9. Make a sign here box that when applied to a template and I click it then it can bring up a window to sign on screen which is applied to the page. It would be helpful for business.

  10. Tapes to hide content - right now if the app crashes or refreshes, the tapes you’ve taken off to quiz yourself reset and hide the content again

    • suggestion- A button to manually reset the tapes that way you know what content to revisit rather than losing all your progress

    Index words on pictures- right now if you screenshot a document and upload it into good notes, the words on the picture aren’t searchable

    • Suggestion- being able to search words on images

    AI quiz questions-right now if you do multiple quizzes on a document, the AI repeats the same questions unless…

  11. I really enjoy using these flashcards for anatomy and the tape feature to cover diagrams. I wished I could send links to my friends so we can collaborate on flashcards like we can documents. We frequently are able to work on pre-labs together, but cant flash cards.

  13. The same functionality that exists for linking inside of a textbox should exist within the sticky note function, but there is no "link" function when you select a word in a sticky note. I would love for that functionality to be added.

  15. automatic scrolling and smooth transitioning into new page while typing text or pasting new images instead of manually doing it. You're unable to insert images from an existing Page to a new page directly scrolling it down as it will go under the new page which is also an issue as with the texts

  16. Hello GoodNotes team,

    I’m running GoodNotes 6 on my iPad (latest version) and have purchased the “All Platforms – Yearly” subscription (renewal date: May 15, 2025) through my Google account. My Windows app correctly shows that I’m signed in with the same account and my subscription type.

    However, on the iPad under Settings ▶ Cloud & Backup, I only see the iCloud Sync toggle. I have:

    Disabled iCloud Sync

    Signed out and signed back in (using my Google account)

    Confirmed I’m on the latest GoodNotes 6 release

    …yet the GoodNotes Cloud option never appears. As a result, I cannot enable…

  17. 'm a paid GoodNotes user and generally enjoy using it, but there are a few usability issues that make the experience less efficient.

    There's no way to undo with a single two-finger tap, so quickly erasing even a couple of strokes takes multiple steps. Double-tapping the Apple Pencil always switches to the eraser instead of toggling between tools, and these gestures can't be customized, which limits flexibility.

    Accidental finger touches sometimes delete notes or trigger the paste popup while writing, which breaks the flow. Also, with the Apple Pencil Pro, using the squeeze gesture to access the lasso tool isn’t…

  18. Funktioniert überhaupt nicht... es ist extrem anstrengend, nervig und störend. Man versucht einen Text, ein Protokoll zu schreiben und ständig wird alles auf eine solch penetrante Art und Weise auto-korrigiert. Es ist teilweise sogar richtig Aufwendig dann den Text schreiben zu dürfen, den man eben schreiben will. Und ich habe meine Sprachen die ich nutze richtig eingestellt. Aber das funktioniert mal überhaupt nicht. Bin ansonsten sehr zufrieden. Deswegen Zahl ich ja dafür. Aber das ist extrem nervig und unglaublich schlecht gelöst !!!!!!!!!!

  19. This feature exists when writing on white/yellow paper, however, it does not work when using dark mode. I have to manually select the highlighted region and send it behind the pen, which is very tedious. I'd greatly appreciate an option where the highlighter will automatically be set behind pen marks.

  20. Tap a crosshairs icon on the toolbar to add a crosshairs placement tool (similar to the ruler) that automatically disappears after the very next object has been placed on the page at the crosshairs.

    The crosshair’s lines are measure marked and extend automatically AND continually to all four page edges (similar to the ruler). But, the node at the center of the crosshairs specifies the exact placement for the very next object placed on the page. The lines on the crosshairs locate that node relative to the edges of the page.

    To use the tool:

    1) Tap once to select…
