  1. Fix the Typewriting function. It is atrocious.

  2. In the AppStore (iPadOS), the app is listed as 4+ and with family share. After buying the app (subscription or lifetime), you have to log in and the age rating of the app is changed to 16+. This means that the app is no longer usable for students under the age of 16 and therefore in many schools. Whether this is desired or a bug, this should be changed asap, as thousands of students and teachers work with the app here.
    It is not a (big) problem if the parents of unmanaged iPads pay for the app. But it is…

  4. I am in management and use GoodNotes for many things including staffing. It would be great to be able to share documents that are ‘live’ with any updates that I make, without having to ‘reshare’ a link, BUT with a option to share in a VIEW ONLY MODE (so I can make changes that my staff can see in real time, but my staff not be able to make changes)

  5. Create study set from a csv or json file and import to goodnotes.

    Creating large quantities of cards one-by-one is mind-numbing, so it would be much easier to do it on a computer with a keyboard in one big file, then import and study on the go!

    Copy pasting a json card template 300 times is a lot easier than swiping, scrolling, and dealing with an onscreen keyboard to create those cards.

    My specific use case is learning airport codes, airline codes, and other long lists of simple information.

    Other use cases might include:
    - memorizing chemical elements (over 100)…

  6. Please make a chromeOS version and/or and android compatible, since ChromeOS can emulate android app through Googel Play Store.
    Most of students in Brazil use chrome devices

  7. I hate that the new update collapsed pen sizing into a drop menu. This messes with my workflow because I tend to do fast pen switching and now it feels more clunky now that there's a fourth color option. Please allow for toolbar editing/rearranging.

  8. I wish we could change the settings to the setup of the toolbar. I am left handed, and it is inconvenient for the entire toolbar to be centered toward the right of the screen. There should be a setting to center the toolbar on the left or true center, as this immobility significantly increases the amount of time needed to switch between writing tools or use the undo/redo feature.

  9. There have been several instances where I have tried to write on the left margin of my paper and since I am left-handed, I cannot move the paper enough to the right for my preferred zoom level to write. If you zoom in a lot to where it fills your screen, there is no ability to extend the paper any more than the margin of your screen.

    • Bullet points and SUB bullet points option in tool bar
    • Change text size through drop down text size menu instead if pressing + and -
    • Presets for Title, Heading, Heading 2, Heading 3 text sizes
    • Being able to choose a default text font
    • Fixing common bug issues like not being able to type, the text box losing its colour, font and text size when copying and pasting, more stable experience

  10. Before, I could use the highlighter, close the toolbar, reopen the toolbar, and still find the highlighter selected. Now when I close and reopen the toolbar, the pen is selected.
    Would you please fix this?
    Thanks

  11. ~just like SAT interactive learning, a MCAT interactive learning system to help student memorize many things like pathways in bio/chem, equations for physics/math, & also some flashcards could really help. Practice problems for bio, chem, and physics

  12. Allow us to input a number for the size. That way we can ensure our stickers are all uniform in size instead of guesstimating with the drag feature.

  13. In GoodNotes 5 it was possible to import a document from an external app and it would set to save to the folder which was open last. If you didn't want the document to be saved there you would have to change it. Now in GoodNotes 6 it is always set to all document which is annoying. Can you please change is back like it was in GoodNotes 5 :)

  16. When you copy drawn lines, if a large area is selected or there are many curves selected, copying may take a long time. It would be nice to be able to cancel the copying process, as it is troublesome to have to wait until the copying is finished, even when you have copied by mistake.

  17. As a digital journaller/planner, I want to be able to insert photos and then crop them into a perfect shape eg square, circle etc. I haven’t found a way to do this in Goodnotes.

  18. When jumping to a specific page, Good notes is using its own count of page numbers, which often differs from the count the document is using, especially for scientific literature. This leads to the reader having to write down two page numbers for reference, one for the scientific quote and one to actually find the quote again using the "jump to page" option. A great option would be to adjust this manually, e.g. telling good notes "this is Page 72", so the actual page numbers of the document can be used as reference.

  19. I would prefer some Templates in other Languages like German, French etc.
    The most Templates can't be used for foreigners.
    The Cook Book for Example is a good Idea, but it would be better if it ist in different languages.
