  1. GoodNotes 6 has an annoying quirk: I'll be writing along and suddenly a word will vanish as I write it. IT's not any one word, nor any combination of strokes in particular. I would call it intermittent, but it happens with aggravating regularity. It's only begun since upgrading to 6; I'm writing the same way I did in GoodNotes 5 and it never did this. Am I alone in experiencing this issue?

  4. After writing down a paragraph in a specific color (lets say black), I would like the ability to select a tool (maybe one that looks like a lens) and would allow me to go back over the words I have already written and change their color to something else (such as blue or red). That way, I would no longer have to erase something and rewrite it in a new color. It is different from the highlight tool because I am not suggesting adding an additional color, rather I am suggesting the ability to change the color of these pen…

  5. Instead of having all of the colors next to one another, create a new way to organize the colors into different folders. This would make it easier to stick to a certain colors when using GoodNotes. While people would still have the option to have the colors side by side, allowing for some sort of organization folder would make it easier to find some colors and stick to those depending on the document being worked on.

  7. After the dotted lines update the view of which 3 brushes you currently are using changed. Earlier the size of the brushes was shown more respectively to the size of the others. Now that the size is shown more accurately I can’t distinguish the sizes anymore, because it’s only 2mm. In writhing a big difference but in the tab not anymore.

  8. I need a way to view my notes on my phone. I'm on Android, but I'm sure this is similar for iPhone users as well. I don't always have my tablet or laptop with me, but I often need access to my notes. I don't need to be able to edit them - just view them. (Although, it would be nice if I could add a text comment via the phone so I could edit the notes later when I have my stylus handy.) Thank you for considering my idea.

  9. When we study, the article occupies too little of the whole screen, about 3/16 are occupied by the menu bar, which very much affects the attention of reading, and at the same time in the aesthetic design point of view is also lacking. Suggest to give a movable, automatically shrinking In the process of reading and learning to try not to notice the existence of the menu, for example, the menu will be designed as apple note can be minimised in the same way, but need to be commonly used functions will be displayed, such as eraser, pen, fast page…

  10. When reading a lot of texts, sometimes it is easier to switch to the option to let the text be read to be. The voice used by GoodNotes though is really really bad making it hard to focus on what is actually said.
    Instead it would be great if you could add the option to let Siri read the text since it sounds rather natural in contrast to the GoodNotes voice.

    Please!

  11. Use GoodNotes as a Tool to directly make notes on pdfs.
    Safe them to the Apple Folders without opening them in Goodnotes itself.

  12. When using Goodnotes in dark mode, the background of the selected items in the toolbar is a slightly lighter color, but it is very difficult to tell which item is selected by just looking at it for a moment, so I would like it to be a brighter color.

  15. On travaille beaucoup avec des formes géométriques, et avoir par exemple le centre du cercle, carrée, etc.., des flèches ou angles, serait bien.

    Les dossiers ne peuvent pas être ranger comme on le souhaite, c’est dommage.

  16. I use Goodnotes 6 for medical school as my only notes taking application. often I will write up notes which I come back to add to it but don't have space. It would be nice if I could add handwritten links to other places within the document or "sticky notes" that I could stick on the sides of the documents (Black/blank space of the page). Save me spending ages having to rearrange everything. Thank you

  19. I would love to be able to change the order of my flashcards (in ministure mode).
    Also, I would like to star/bookmark certain cards the way I do with regular documents. A separate study option for bookmarked cards would be super useful.
