  1. When you zoom in/out the borders snap to the edges of the ipad.

    It can feel especially cramped when i'm trying to write at the top left of the page or when i'm nearing the bottom of the paper.

  2. I’d like a paper template that uses the solid & dashed lines for handwriting practice. Many of us are new to writing on a tablet, and GoodNotes is sophisticated enough for practice to matter. I’m talking about paper lined like this:

    Thank you.

  4. I'd like to resize images to fit another space on my page but I can't make it look nice because I can only resize proportionately. Let us unlock constraints so if I want something long and skinny or short and fat ect I can. I hate the resizing being locked.

  5. fully customisable quick select options on the zoom box to allow us to have heading-width pen size and colours and different highlighter colours all just a single tap away.
    6 quick select boxes as well as the eraser would be great!

  10. Coloured Tabs would be great.
    I have many goodnotes files open, many for different subjects. If I could colour the tabs, I could more easily distinguish betweens subjects and more quickly find the subject I am looking for.
    For example: my thermodynamics folder is red. Notes to my thermodynamics lecture could corresponed to a red tab by default. Homework for thermodynamics, that are also in the red thermodynamics folder, could also have their tab colour switched from red to pink (similar colour, different purpose).

  12. Notability has a feature that creates transcripts from audio recordings and syncs the written notes with the transcript. I believe this feature would be incredibly useful and make Goodnotes more competitive with Notability. PLEASE make this a feature in an upcoming update!!!

  13. I use several different text styles in my documents, this includes fonts styles and sizes. While currently I have a notebook and a collection of the fonts & sizes I prefer. I’d love the ability to have multiple text style presets. Most of the time I’m using between 6 and 7 different fonts between my notes (it’s why when I try a new font, I make sure my most recent fonts stay in the recent section), but having the ability to have multiple text box presets would be beneficial.

  17. I would like to request the addition of a feature in Goodnotes 6 that allows users to apply the AI-enhanced handwriting to correctly spelled words, not just the misspelled ones that are automatically corrected by the current "Spellcheck" function. The existing AI-powered writing aid significantly improves legibility while maintaining the writer's unique style, but currently activates only when a spelling mistake is made. Introducing an opt-in setting to extend this AI-enhancement to all handwritten words, regardless of their spelling accuracy, would offer users the benefit of consistently legible and polished notes, thereby enriching the overall Goodnotes 6 experience.

  18. Having an option to disable the smart learn mode for a given study set feels essential. As of now, a study set that I used Smart Learn mode on one time keeps notifying me in the menu forever, while I don’t need to learn it anymore.

    This also risks keeping me from finding the sets that I need to study now, in the midst of all past study sets.

    I don’t want to delete them, I just wish I could disable the smart learn mode/notifications for specific sets.

  19. There you be a way to make multiple flashcard sets in a single flashcard box so that you can more easily separate different topics. For example if you have a textbook, you should have different sets for each chapter, and in the box all your flashcards.
