  1. When I select a handwritten word with the lasso tool and try to convert it to text, the option "Auto Detect" is set as default.

    This leads to a wrong conversion of the selected text. Forcing me to change from "Auto Detect" to my preferred language every time I want to conver text.

    For Example: I try to convert the german word "Abstrakte" but the auto detect converts it to "Abstrakle". If I change the language from "Auto Detect" to "German", it converts it to the correct word "Abstrakte".

    Thus it would be great, if the language I selected is…

  2. I don't like the "rub to erase" spec that erases text even when I want to fill it in, so I downgraded, but even after the downgrade I am fed up with popups urging me to update to Goodnotes 6.

  3. It would be great to be able to depend on only typing sometimes and have the text align along the entire paper and lines of selected paper template as an additional feature to the existing text box

  5. It would be amazing to be able to add a grid overlay to documents. I primarily use GoodNotes to annotate note slide pdfs with blank backgrounds and i find it would be much easier to have neat and straight printing if this feature was offered.

  6. It would be nice to have the thicknes presets in a submenu like in one of the previous updates. It doesn‘t has to be standart but to at least the option to have it in a submenu would be nice. Ideally you‘d have up to five thicknes presets in there, so you don’t have to switch the presets thicknes. I have seven colorpresets what is just a little to wide for the space i have in the mainbar, so it would be far more comfortable to have the thicknes adjustment in a submenu so this anoying scroll thing does not…

  7. Flashcard Update! Please make this a permanent feature. There should be an outline so you can quickly find a card without flipping through the full size ones. Also have a way for you to save your progress. If i make a deck of 120 cards I may not have time to make it all the way through and want to come back where I left off. Also a feature to let you study only the ones you missed. And a feature to let you view them in order or randomly.

  8. Ich habe oft das Problem, wenn man eine text liest und markiert, muss man bei den Textmarker immer warten bis eine gerade line entsteht.
    Für den normalen Stift gibt es die Funktion mit dem Geometrischen Werkzeug, mit dem man immer eine gerade line ziehen kann. DAs für den Textmarker wäre super.

  9. It'd be amazing to have Pop-up Notes. Say you're working on a paper with a dense list of questions that you'd like to answer in the same notebook. It'd be good to be able to create a Popup note (UI wise could just be a circular note icon that expands) in an area that you choose, so when you click on it a popup comes up that lets you write within that new popup.

    This would also be cool for marking or writing extra notes that you don't want directly onto a document.

  10. Give the option to customise folders through colours and maybe even icons and emojis that can be put over the folder for our subjects. It would make navigating a lot faster as we can see instantly where we want to go instead of relying on the smaller folder text.

  11. Be able to customise folders not just the plain boring blue colour. This will make it easier to differentiate between different folders

  12. I often switch pencils colors and strokes width, also between pencils and highlights.
    If we can use stock buttons which enable us to stock pencils or highlights preferences including color, width, this function makes GoodNotes easier to use!!

  14. There should be the capability of linking any note from one page with a note from another and being able to click on it and be redirected to the interrelated note .

  15. Option to add more than 1 page at a time. If you have a meeting or class you need to add pages 1 by 1 until you have the amount of pages you think you will use because if you do it during the activity you may miss something.

  17. For scientists, students and others it is almost necessary to add subscript and superscript for many formulars and equotations.

    For my personal demand it‘ll be also awesome if you add blocktext to the text formatting settings :)

  19. This feature request suggests implementing in-place PDF editing functionality that allows users to edit PDF files directly from their file paths while preserving their personal file management preferences.

    With in-place PDF editing, users can seamlessly open PDFs in their original locations, make edits, and save modifications without creating duplicate copies. This streamlines the editing process and avoids disrupting established file management structures.

    This feature empowers users to store PDFs wherever they prefer, alongside related content, while retaining the file's original location. It respects users' organizational choices and eliminates the need for manual file rearrangement.
