  1. Similar to how it's done on Instagram reels or TikTok, a trashcan icon would appear all the way at the bottom when you have something selected with the lasso tool so you can easily drag it and discard it in one step instead of having to select a tool, long press and select 'delete'. This is especially helpful with text, as it is annoying to go through the process of deleting it.

  2. It would be cool to be able to write down with the apple pencil in the notes even if it was written with the Text option (keyboard)

  3. If the screen is just split into two, the preset colors will change when changing the pen color. Therefore, I would like to see a unified design where the presets themselves can be changed, like the color selection screen on the full screen.

  4. I would like to point out that the ability to enable or disable scribbling of previously written text and deletion of words or phrases in the GoodNotes 6 settings is an extremely important feature. This feature is much needed as it gives users the flexibility to enable or disable scribbling as needed. Some of us may not want to use this new feature of GoodNotes 6 and would like the ability to customize it according to our own preferences.
    Therefore, we hope that you can consider this request and enable/disable the doodle feature in a future update of GoodNotes 6.…

  5. It’s been bothering me for a week now since the last update of Goodnotes 6 app that now it has a delay response for 1-2 seconds from apple pencil whenever I write something on Goodnotes. For the other apps I have, all of it works perfectly as the way it used to be. I’m using it with iPad Pro M1. I’ve been using Goodnotes since 2017 and this is the first time it happened to me.

  6. I would like to be able to select multiple items on a page like text boxes and then change atributes of the text box like border color or size, or the font size or the formatting of the text. And not just have this capability be restricted to text boxes but anything on the page.

  7. I love how you have implemented casting the screen to a TV to make presentations. I would like one more feature. I would like to physically turn the TV to portrait mode, have GoodNotes support casting a portrait orientation screen on my iPad to the portrait orientation TV. This means GoodNotes would need to fake out the TV by rotating the image 90 degrees and cast the image to the TV as if it was landscape orientation. This would fake out the TV and enable a portrait screen to be casted to a portrait oriented TV.

  8. It would be kinda cool to make audiobuttons, so you can record something (explanation for example) and put it next to a graphic or a math thingy you did. So basically the comment function but for Audioclips.

  10. Es kann nicht sein, dass man eine Änderung des Formates, zB wenn ich ALLE Seiten auf A4 wechseln will, dass ich das dann auf vielen dutzenden Seiten einzeln händisch machen muss. Das dauert Stunden und reduziert euer 5 Sterne Programm auf ein schlecht durchdachtes 0 Sterne Programm. Ich sehe da bei dem teuren Preis der App einen dringenden Nachholbedarf.

  11. When eraser tool is selected, the circle image (regardless of size) is often difficult to see on the screen when it is moved around and I sometimes erase items I did not want to lose. Can the contrast of the eraser image on the monitor screen be made brighter or of different colors so it is more easily seen on the screen?

  12. Rather than only having the option to using an AMOLED background, it would be preferable to allow users to set a custom image as the background

  15. You may need sometime to improve user experience of Goodnotes 6. In the meantime, you should sell both versions and thus keep the normal functions of Goodnotes 5. When Goodnotes 6 starts getting good comments and good ux, the Goodnotes 5 users may upgrade.

    Now with the sync issue, I'm getting frustrated and started to look for alternative apps...

  16. I use a few favourite text sizes and style and have inadvertently’locked’ one in the new favourites function and now can’t change fonts. Very upsetting as it now has prevented me finishing my book.

  17. First off, thanks for adding page numbers, the go-to page feature is awesome. Now I wish there was a way to set a page as page one and the pages before it would be negative pages. a lot of text books and documents I import don't have the cover or preface referenced with a standard page number. Thanks!

  18. Goodnote6 is have a big issue it is when I playback the recording for some period of time it overheats and crash the app.
    I try reinstall the app restart my iPad pro 12.9”(M2)
    You should consider this as big problem cause this make the recording feature unusable. And this is annoying

  19. The application keeps shutting down whenever I try to add stickers.

    It happened frequently in Good Note 5, but it keeps happening after upgrading to 6. So I can't add stickers.

    I tried shutting down the application and running it again, and rebooted the iPad, but the problem remains.

    I attach the video.

  20. Improvement requests

    The redo arrow of the note is only displayed on one side when using split view.

    I would like the check icon for document selection to be fixed at the top of the screen like in goodnotes5.

    I would like it to be fixed on the top of the screen like in goodnote5. This may be a bug.

    When I select a note by enclosing it and copying it, it takes a long time to load and does not finish copying. Finally, an error message appears. I hope it will be improved.
