  1. Es wäre toll, wenn alle farblichen Markierungen von Text, die man in einem Dokument gemacht hat, in einer Schnellsuchfunktion angezeigt wird. Quasi, wie es schon in der Suchfunktion von Wörtern in Good Notes 6 möglich ist. Danke

  2. Are there plans to support the new iPad Pencil "Hover" feature in GoodNotes soon? This feature provides awareness of where the pencil will start writing or drawing before the pencil is on the iPad screen. This helps with both drawing and writing accuracy.

  4. It would be great if we could add a means to share or back up the slots themselves stored as pen color codes or type pen color codes. If you back up your iPad with iTunes, you can save the color code, but I think it's a function that you need when you want to reinstall and use the app.

  5. It can only zoom up but cannot zoom down which is very inconvenient when browsing!

    Every update is about AI but do users really need it?

    Please improve the basic function!

    Almost every website and similar software have unlimited zoom up and zoom down!

  6. When importing a pdf into Goodnoes, they should by default go into the active folder, not into “Documents” root.
    You guys had it right in Goodnotes 5 but not in 6, I have had to revert back to 5 until this is solved. When it works properly, I can upgrade.

  7. Requesting having a feature to view multiple pages at a time and have a draggable scroll bar to run through the pages quickly like you would do in a normal notebook. The current at a glance menu (four square one) allows you to see 4 pages in a single row which, depending on how big we write isn't enough to understand what the content is on each page.

  8. Ability to link to locations (pages, objects, text, etc.) within Goodnotes. I want to add tabs (like section dividers in physical notebooks) and link them to the start of a section, let's say an index. Then, on an index page, link to the specific page of a topic (and so on). It looks like everyone is building their templates in Keynotes, then PDF, then import. This is fussy, but works. The problem with this workaround is that you have to define all your pages when you build your template. You typically don't know how many topics each section will have…

  9. Goodnotes for Android can be used without connection or offline system so that Android users can use Goodnotes for Android without connection if their house area is black out, getting emergency situation and getting remote working if their signal is off in their house area. Then Android users can write everything on Goodnotes for Android without connection or offline system in the future. Thank you.

  10. im neuen GN6 steht auf erstellten Bildern und PDFs der Text "Made with GoodNotes".
    Dieser irritiert sehr. Da ich für dieses Produkt bezahlt habe, möchte ich nicht ungefragt als Werbeträger missbraucht werden.
    Wo kann ich dies abstellen?

  12. Recently when I open the thumbnails on Goodnotes 5, instead of jumping to the page I was viewing, it shows the first page after I used it a few times. Then I have to scroll tens or hundreds pages back to where I was to make further progress, which is quite inconvenient and. I hope it can jump to where I was every time I open the thumbnails, and maybe add a button to go back to top for those who need to modify the notebook cover.

    Thanks to the Goodnotes team, this is a very great note app and…

  14. It's really important for quickly adding and removing pages to the favourite list and to have a visual indicator of which pages are already favourited.

  15. I have the following good ideas:
    - finally a bug fix for sensible tabs in the text function - without a line break in the middle
    - Finally fix the bug that allows you to move documents back and forth between two windows without the software crashing
    - fix the recently installed bug that you can no longer copy individual pages
    - fix the bug that text markings on MACOS look exactly the same as on an iPad and are not displayed in a different line
    Some of these are all errors that have been around for years and you…

  16. When trying to purchase a one-time payment for Goodnotes 6, the only available plans are the 1-year plans. This might be due to having started with the free trial, but I am worried about losing previously-made documents.

  17. With the addition of scribble to erase, some words that I write (especially cursive) tend to be mistaken as an attempt to erase. An addition of a personalization feature where we can input specific strokes that shouldn't be treated as scribbling would be extremely helpful, as currently I cannot use the scribble-erase function unless I never use the word "the" or "those"

  18. Make Extra Margin Space In Imported PowerPoints
    It would be super nice to have extra space to write sentences and phrases on the side or under imported PowerPoint instead of only being able to write on the slide. Writing on the slide helps highlight terms etc, but doesn't help any extra information a teacher/professor may say out loud, that's not a part of the slide.

  19. It would be nice if while listening to an audio, in addition to having the text synchronized, you automatically move to the current page at the time of recording

  20. Os stickers poderiam ser realistas, mantendo aquilo que se escreve por cima automaticamente e com possibilidade de minimizar de forma a não esconder o texto
