  2. On the new update is now harder to quickly change the thickness of the pencil and hglg, would be great to slide from up to down on the icon that you press to open the thickness selector menu to quickly switch to the next thickness level and from down to up to the previous one.

    I'm a student who writes notes with lots of different thicknesses and colors, the new update made me more productive when switching colors but less productive when changing thicknesses

    There's a video with the desired gesture

  3. In the Settings menu (iPad, iOs 17), please enable same support for Goodnotes, as there is for Notes - see attached picture. This goes especially for password protection, customisation of corner gestures, accessing Goodnotes from locked screen, and support for tags.

  4. Hi! I would LOVE to create my own outlines which I can drop onto a page & create a standard way to write up meetings / to-do / projects etc. Here is how I see the idea:

    • I create a standard meeting outline (for example area's for Attendees, Agenda, Action Items etc).
    • I tap on an icon and add the outline to an existing page.
    • The outline is "locked" by default. So I can erase writing without changing the outline. Another way to think about this - layers in Photoshop.

  8. Ich würde gerne die Lernsets auch anders herum lernen: Antwort wird angezeigt und man muss die Frage nennen. Dies wäre für Vokabeln sehr hilfreich, damit man in beide Richtungen übersetzen kann

  9. Goodnotes is an excellent note taking app, however the functionality on a Macbook is extremely limited. I bought the full version of Goodnotes just to use it for my Mac as I don't have an Ipad but it seems like the app is strictly only for Ipads. There are so many minor problems that I run into that it is really frustrating to use. Its obvious that the mac version is just a copy and paste of the Ipad version... so I suggest working on the usability of goodnotes for people that primarily use their laptops. This app is the…

  12. I primarily use large PDFs on the Mac Desktop version. When I open the same document on my iPad the page is not in sync with the page on the desktop version (and vice-versa). I know I can bookmark the page and the issue is resolved. However, it would be easier if the pages sync between the apps without the need to use the bookmark feature. I hope that makes sense! Otherwise, I love this app! I actually tell people it is worth get an iPad JUST for this app!

  13. Hi, I haven't found where I can send you feedback on goodnotes6. I find, like others read in the reviews, great lag in the use of the Apple Pencil. sometimes it is difficult to write in the app. are you planning to resolve? with goodnotes 5 everything was fine.

  14. AI 建议 for 中文!

    众所周知,中文的字词在不同语境中有不同的含义,这点可能是AI建议一时半会儿无法攻克的,那么有个可以借鉴的现成方案!
    大家应当都用过Windows 11,其系统自带的中文简体输入法应当用过,其中的“云输入”、“专业词典”不知是否有使用?我并不清楚它是否使用了AI,但其中文建议方案是绝对可行的。若想更深入探讨AI中文建议,搜狗、百度都是老牌中文输入法app的供应商。
    加上GN5时期,一度向用户收集笔迹数据以提高OCR准确率,那么模拟用户笔迹、实现AI手写建议呢?是否有实现的可能?

  15. Allow the pages to be adjustable. Sometimes the you don't use the whole page so by allowing a change to the dimensions you can see the next page more clearly, rather than scrolling back and forth and seeing a half page gap

  16. Please add the possibility to scale the background opacity. With a lower opacity of the background on import, changes would be clearly visible.

  17. Para que la App Goodnotes 6 este mas completa seria interesante que las Notas o Archivos de voz que se graban, puedan tener la opcion de ser convertidas a texto directamente dentro del Documento en el que se esta trabajando y asi evitar a tener que recurrir a Apps de terceros para hacer esta conversion.

  18. Goodnotes for Mac is constantly being updated, which is great, but the current method of v6's update is a 1.6gb (and counting) full application download every single time. This is absurd. The entire Office suite updates in total are far smaller than that. Not everyone has giant, unlimited pipes to the internet, so please design an update method that doesn't require full app downloads every few days.

  19. Navigate with one finger when using Apple Pencil to write

    Since the app can tell which inputs are from the Apple Pencil and which are from your hands, why not allow navigation with one finger(instead of two) while using the Apple Pencil to write? It'll be much more intuitive and efficient

  20. Please implement adding of GIFs. I know there are people suggesting this before but there hasn't been any updates so I'm posting here. It would be great if users would be able to add GIFs directly through a platform like Giphy in the app and adding of GIFs via gallery like how users import photos/stickers. I have been switching between goodnotes and notability for a few years now since only notability allows GIFs but goodnotes would definitely be the only app I would use if it lets users to add GIFs. Please consider adding this feature. Thank you.
