  1. Can you please enable handwritten note-taking and inserting images in the “add comment” section?
    Typing the comment takes time and limits the note-taking experience to the keyboard tools. The notes also all look the same (there’s no bold or underline or change font options).
    This would allow a smoother and faster experience while using this option. It also combines between the sticky notes/post-it ideas and the already present add comment feature.
    I prefer the add comment in that it takes less space and thus allows a neater page.

  2. Notebook Title tabs are currently equally spaced with a lot of wasted space. Making tab size auto fit the title would allow for more shorter named tabs and quicker switching between notebooks without scrolling. It gives the user choice over tab size by choosing title length.

  6. Be able to customize tools

    It should be possible to customize the individual tools like pen, back, forward, etc. like in Word, which means that you should place them differently within the toolbar.

    For students this is very important.

  7. The history buttons are positioned too close to the Library View button. I usually miss clicked them so instead of going back to my previous edits, I totally LOST them all!

    • Maybe position them to the bottom as shown in the attachment?
    • And/or make the documents preserve their editing history

    Be mindful about handedness though.

  8. I think it would be awesome if audio recordings could be saved to a page instead of a notebook as a whole. So for example MS PowerPoint you can record audio per slide and place a button to play the audio on the slide. This is great if your audio is only related or needed for a specific page and not the whole journal.

  9. We, the users who already paid for "lifetime" access for GN5, shouldn't have to pay again for GN6, to the tune of 3x the cost. And what's your definition of "lifetime" anyway? Change of whim and software? The new features simply aren't that amazing to warrant any kind of cost. Legacy users should get the upgrade for free. New users should be the ones to get this godawful subscription model that you swore you wouldn't foist upon the users (like Notability, remember what you said about them??). I'm sure this feature request will go right in the bin, but I…

  12. It's one of the features already in "Good notes 5 for ios". I'm missing some of the features in Ios, such as reordering pages and multi-task documents. And I also see some small bugs. There are a lot of minor bugs, such as the problem of not being pressed long when scrolling through pages, and the problem of being pressed long while writing. I hope you can solve the bug quickly.

  13. In the setting "Handwriting Recognition" it is possible to "Add Language" to the preferred languages.

    If I added a language by mistake, I would like to be able to remove/uninstall a falsely added language.

  16. These three things are much needed
    Auto Detection of Arrows is very helpful in many cases
    Dotted Lines/Dashed Lines are very necessary in Making Diagrams especially in mathematics and physics
    Duplicate feels more easy than copy and pasting the thing, adding duplicate with copy will save time
    Inverting PDF too seems necessary sometimes

    Only because of these 4 functions I have to sometime switch to notability and it does not feel good cause I have paid for GoodNotes

  17. So when typing on the iPad in the in-line page type mode the shortcuts will randomly trigger, jerking you out from typing and to inserting an image or sticker. So I propose either disabling shortcuts when in typing mode or just give us the option to disable keyboard shortcuts all together. I’ve been typing up some documents in the new version and this problem has been annoying me a lot and I haven’t even gotten thru a single paragraph without being interupted.

  18. I love that GoodNotes has the night mode feature but while I like my overall iPad in night mode, I don’t want my notes in night mode. There is no way to override this. I’d like to be able to have GoodNotes in light mode while my iPad is in night mode. Y’all rock! Keep up the hard work.

  19. Move the undo location on the toolbar. The undo icon on the toolbar is directly below the library icon in the NAV bar. I always tap the Undo button by mistake when trying to return to the Libray of my Documents. I have lost many final changes when I try to return to the library.
