  1. Create an option to align handwritten text either to the left (for bullet points), right, middle, or bottom — this is a function similar to that of Adobe Illustrator.

    Sometimes when handwriting notes (especially on documents that do not have writing lines), the text may become slanted as we write. Creating an option to align the text would make it much quicker and easier for users to improve the look of our notes.

  2. The UI does not have to always be visible. When i am taking notes i just want a FULLSCREEN (see that idea too) paper and maybe a widget on one of the edges for changing the color or the thickness of my pen. I don't need to have the save and delete and bookmark and tabs and title and everything on top of the paper. Just tools and colors. For more there should be a pop-up menu or something.

  3. I appreciate the opportunity to share my feedback on GoodNotes' handwriting recognition feature. I think it is a great initiative to allow users to contribute their handwriting samples to improve the accuracy of the algorithm.

    However, I also think that there is room for improvement in terms of motivating and rewarding the users for their contributions. I suggest that GoodNotes should implement some kind of reward system or badge system that recognizes the users' efforts and achievements. The rewards could be something simple like some free exclusive stickers. And the badges should indicate the number of contributions made by the…

  4. GoodNote 5 and GoodNote 6 are experiencing an issue where they cannot export PDFs to Outlook. After clicking on Outlook, it prompts to add a label, and when you press 'add label,' the Outlook program crashes immediately. It simply closes by itself every time. This prevents the export of files from GoodNote to Outlook. Can you please help me resolve this issue?"

  7. Add back the favorites to the top left tool bar on iPad version. When studying, the little red ribbon that lights up when the slide is marked as a favorite tells me I need to spend more time understanding the material. I really miss this feature.

  10. In modalità tastiera non si può fare granché se non scrivere ma solo con pochi stili e tipi di formattazione possibili. Si dovrebbe rendere più libera la possibilità di scegliere i tipi di caratteri

  11. Quando si finisce di scrivere una pagina non si riesce a continuare direttamente a scrivere nella pagina successiva, ma viene richiesto prima se si vuole aggiungere la pagina e poi viene cancellata gran parte delle ultime frasi della pagina precedente e sovraccaricate. Si potrebbe fare in modo di aggiungere in automatico una pagina nel momento in cui quella prima finisce così da poter continuare a scrivere senza interruzioni e problemi di sovratrascrizione?

  12. 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

  14. Currently when you go to Thumbnails it always starts at page 1. This can be inconvenient during lectures when you don't have a lot of time to lose during the writing of your notes.

    For example of you have a pdf with about 100 pages and you are currently at page 60. If you want to go back about ten pages from where you're at (so to p.50). Then you need to scroll all the way down from p.1 to p.50 instead of just 10 pages up.

    This is even more inconvenient if you don't know the exact page number…

  16. Hi, I would be glad if you could add a fuction, which will allow us to summarise and write notes right next to the page. I often upload pdf textbooks or research papers, but there is not enough space next to the text. For example Cambridge Spiral allows you to add a note next to the page you read, so it does not cover the text on the page. I would love that fuction if I could write the notes by hand. I think it will be useful mainly for other students who use Goodnotes to write and highlight in…

  19. It would be really helpful if we had the feature of being able to have a button next to the tabs which would show all tabs with a preview of the content - just like in Safari for iPadOS.

    It would make finding currently open documents much easier than scrolling through dozens of tabs and having to remember the exact name of the file.
