  1. 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.

  2. Updates have been occurring too frequently to the toolbar. The eraser should be in the floating toolbar with writing tools. I prefer consistency, I take a lot of notes and want things to be where I expect.

  3. Hi! The tape feature is such an incredible tool to help learning. I use it a lot to cover long answers in the exercises. Sometimes there are large areas to cover with tape and have to 'paint' it all. It would be interesting to have in this feature the possibility of drawing tape shapes, like squares and circles that I can resize.

  4. Allow users to adjust the pencil's pressure sensitivity. This pencil is hard to write in a solid stroke without the users putting a very strong force. Also polish the stroke's shape so that when it's thicker, the writing will not diffuse. Apple's own pencil stroke will be a great example.

  5. English version:
    I'm excited about the new scalable ruler. Angles to the horizontal can also be easily measured and drawn.

    BUT: Many colleagues, especially in mathematics, at my school and certainly at many other schools lack a scalable set square as a replacement or supplement. This could also be used to measure angles between two straight lines and not just to the horizontal.
    There are some ideas on how to incorporate a set square. However, these set squares do not adjust in size (scaling) when you enlarge or reduce the page. In addition, you cannot draw a line along the…

  6. The new Woodnotes 6 is packed with great functionality. For some people.

    as a user who primarily (99%) writes in my native Swedish language, the experience has actually gotten worse (GN6 interpret my Swedish as wrongfully written English and tries to change it).

    Why do I have to pay extra for a worse product?

    Please offer a version without the language-dependent features for a reduced cost. I have supported GN for a VERY long time, but this makes me feel scammed. Other features that are non-language dependent are making GN6 worth an upgrade, but it's not fair that I have…

  7. Enhanced search functionality with LLMs that can recognize handwritten notes, keywords, and phrases, and provide results even from scanned text. These LLMs should be capable of searching things with Natural written things in sentence in the search bar of GoodNotes, such like these example for photos from Apple in the Picture. So it understands the Context of what you are searching for. You can search with natural language.

  8. The new typing mode in GN6 has significantly enhanced its versatility. It would be even better if a highlight tool could be added to the typing mode, allowing users to directly apply highlights to text while typing.

  9. I have OCD, so the only thing I ask for is the possibility to justify the paragraph when we use the text styling boxes. Goodnotes gives us 3 posibilities, to align the paragraph to the left, to align the paragraph to the right, and to indent the paragraph, so WHY NOT TO JUSTIFY IT?? So simple, people! Goodness I’m about to cry.

  12. I loved notability for this but I prefer Goodnotes for note taking, but we could adjust the spacing between the lines on lined paper. I find the spacing on Goodnotes narrow lined paper is too large for me and I’d love to be able to adjust it.

  13. Sometimes I find myself made mistakes about the written content on the card while in study mode, maybe just some spelling mistakes. I hope I can correct them, but I can’t find the option. Once I exit study mode, I can’t find the card any more when there are so many cards in one set. Hope there’ll be a solution for such situation.

  15. Please add a function so that we can embed audio and video files just like images into good notes. Or at least that we can link them, but embedding would way better. Thank you.

  16. I got GoodNotes for my Ipad and love it. I assume the account is associated with my Apple ID on the device. I have now downloaded your Windows app, but it gives me Microsoft or Google sign-in options... so I can't log into the Goodnotes account that my iPad is using. Could add an Apple ID sign-in option for the Windows app?

  19. In the new feature of smart study flashcards, the typing section is stuck with one font and one format. If I could explained with different colors, formatting subscripts/superscripts it’d be super convenient and imp[rove my experience. Thanks for all of y’all hardwork!

  20. Enables users to switch between night and light modes while the font color automatically adjusts for optimal readability. This feature is similar to the one found in Notability, where the font color changes based on the template's brightness.
