  2. I often find that I need to resize a shape I have already drawn and when I erase a portion of the shape and redraw it, the app treats the change as a new shape instead of as an update to an existing shape which results in lines not matching up between the unerased portin of the shape and the new portion. I have attached a pdf that shows the problem.

  3. I want to be able to operate by using "apple pencil" and "finger" different function. When using "pen" with apple pencil, range selection (or eraser) with one finger, "undo" with two finger tap etc. I think this app gets more operability that will be improved, I hope you will improve the tool! Thank you!

  4. I think it would be much easier to sync notebooks across devices if there were user accounts and you just login to the app. That way you could access your files from any computer, tablet, phone, etc, just by logging in.

    Files would be stored online through good notes, instead of relying on iCloud syncing or google backups, since i am finding that the iCloud syncing is not reliable.

    This would be similar to how you can log into your Google Drive account from any device and see access to all your files if you have an internet connection.

    There…

  5. Allow to choose how much the Zoom window goes down when it returns to the left of the page. Right now it goes down by a multiple of its height. This is not comfortable at all as the line I write into is only a fraction of the Zoom window height.

  6. Add a "drift mode" for writing in zoom mode (not in the zoom window). I hat writing in the zoom window. I much prefer to write directly page, however doing so when zoomed in requires me to manually scroll the page. It should move with me as I write, and I should also have a return button at the edge of the page to advance to the next line automatically.

  8. Hello, thank you for always providing a wonderful app.

    I would like to request a feature regarding the text tool in GoodNotes 6.

    In the current version, the minimum font size is fixed at 8pt.

    However, in previous versions, being able to use 1–7pt was extremely helpful for writing small annotations, subscripts, chemical formulas, and compact notes.

    If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could:
    ・ Allow font sizes below 8pt again (1–7pt)

    This function would benefit many users who need fine, detailed writing.

    Thank you very much for your consideration.

  10. I’m glad to see that some parts of the app have improved with the latest update. However, the text editing experience is still much less convenient compared to GoodNotes 6.

    Why did you add the unnecessary “Modern, Classic, Technical” text panel in the text box? Please replace it with the “Recently Used Fonts” feature like in GoodNotes 6. Many users frequently switch between multiple fonts, so removing that feature truly makes no sense.

    Also, I really hope you bring back the option to keep the font, size, and text settings fixed at the top like in GoodNotes 6. Something that…

  11. Currently, after using lasso tools, tapping with Apple Pencil will switch back to the eraser forcibly. It is so inconvenient that doesn’t revert to the tools I was using before, like pen or highlighters. Before the updates, it was used as usual. So please.

  15. Please bring back drawing thickness so that it's not under a dropdown menu. Taking notes is way more streamlined with having the 3 thickness options readily available in the toolbar

  18. Being able to select the option on a folder to ‘study all flashcards in folder’ so combine all the flashcards in all the notebooks in the folder.

    Also, make it less easy to tap out of learning flashcards and losing progress.

  19. Like in Quizlet, could there be a progress bar for the flashcards? Like, the percentage of ones that are easy, good, hard, and not done yet?

    I feel like there is so so much potential to improve the flashcards feature!!!

  20. how many tries you need to draw a good looking curly brackets? too many!!
    everyone struggle with curly brackets drawing while taking notes, having the draw and hold shape recognition would make them nicer and reduce time to write and rewrite them.
    vote for it if you draw ugly curly brackets :)
