  1. Sometimes I write an entire word in cursive and when I am done I realize shape recognition was on and the word becomes unreadable. I want to be able to press 'undo' and undo only the shape recognition step, recovering the word I just wrote. This is an intuitive way to make the program more useful without complicating the interface. It would also allow me to use 'undo' and 'redo' repeatedly to compare the results with and without shape recognition and decide if I want to keep them.

    In addition: after I draw a triangle without shape recognition, allow me…

  2. It would be so helpful if the app could open with all the notebooks I had open before I accidentally closed the app like Safari will reopen with all the tabs I had open. I work on several notebooks open at a time with work projects for different clients and the times I've closed out of the app entirely...they are not open when I restart the app.

  3. Study sets are great and i love this feature very much but i think some additional improvements will make it extremely useful and great.
    For example how much I remember the cards, if there is multiple option as in Anki such as easy, good, hard & again rather than know it or not will improve smart learn and add filter cards queue, some cards i forget it at all while others i just forget a little bit of it so the only two option make them equal.

    Although if there is an option for backward of cards as I accidentally…

  4. I would love to be able to use the lasso tool to select a handwritten word in a notebook and have that take me to a particular section in my notes. I know you can link to a certain page, but from my knowledge the link must be typed and I would like to be able to be able to link to a section of the screen. This could maybe be done by zooming into a certain section that you want to link to and having a button up the top allowing you to save that position in the screen…

  5. Two dots on the dotted paper templates are a little over 1.1 cm apart on the ruler. It would be great for drawing graphs if they are 1 cm apart, so the templates fit the ruler. The same issue applies to the squared paper.

  7. In the typing mode, it would be convenient to be able to manually change the font and font size, instead of using the "Header 1, Header 2,...etc.," options like how it is for the text box option in the writing mode.

  8. This feature has been requested for years, please at least add GIF support if video support is not possible. This is crucial for many learners these days.
    Then I will even upgrade to Goodnotes 6. Otherwise, the other new features of version 6 are absolutely superfluous for me (and I think for many other users as well)

  9. I think it would be a nice idea if I could create a color palette and then save it. Like, if I make a palette that's full of pastels and another that's darker colors, I could create a "pastel palette" and a "dark palette." That way, if I find myself preferring the dark palette for what I'm doing but pastels for another project, I could easily switch between the two without having to go through and change everything again.

  10. It would be helpful to group open notes like they're tabs.

    This would be helpful as I could still have my frequently visited notes open on the Goodnotes app, but they wouldn't be taking up a lot of space at the top of the app (and I wouldn't have to reopen the same note multiple times a day). I would be able to find and organize my notes easier and it would look nicer.

    I have attached screenshots of what this tab grouping looks like on Chrome as an example of what it could look like on Goodnotes.

  13. I would love if bullet point features were cleaned up. I am torn because goodnotes does not have sub bullet points and notes look VERY messy in this app.

    I would hands down use this app if this was corrected.

  14. Ability to adjust opacity of objects. Stickers, photos, etc.
    There are many reasons I switched to Zinnia but this is the biggest selling point. It’s so basic I can’t wrap my head around why it’s not in GoodNotes.

  15. Please - urgently - change the link on the page! With more than 1000 pages, it is necessary to enter the page number, as scrolling is too cumbersome. 1001 thanks.

    Bitte - dringend - Link auf Seite ändern ! Bei über 1000 Seiten ist die Eingabe der Seitennummer notwendig, da scrollen zu umständlich ist. 1001 Dank.

  17. add something like google translate inside the app. Also, it will make the work easier for a student like me who speak Arabic and all his subjects in English, so translator will help me if I have any issue with the vocab a lot of apps like callnote have this feature and I’m sure that Goodnotes can do the same

  18. At the moment, the type on a full page option only has one default font; Helvetica. It would be extremely useful to have the option to change to multiple fonts and text colors.
