  1. I know a lot of engineering students that use this app, but have to use many other apps as well to take coding, circuit or higher level math classes. I use https://www.stempad.com/editor but would rather use GoodNotes6 because of all your other great features. The code and circuit block don't even need to be functional, just formatted like code and maybe helps you code like VS Code based on the language. It just takes a lot of time going back and forth between apps.

  2. Die Standardschrift soll für ein Dokument einstellbar sein (wie bei der alten Version)

    Es ist unglaublich mühsam, bei jedem neuen Text Feld öffnen: Schriftgrösse, Fett oder nicht, Schriftfarb etc. einzustellen.

    Bitte Bitte ändern sie das!!!!!!!!!!

  3. It would be nice if Android and Windows finally got the same capabilities as Apple. Adding new fonts, uploading stickers, and many other things unfortunately don't work at all. This has been a known issue for years.

  5. Lock images so that when I write on them they do not move around. Also the general ability to lock certain layers and things so when I erase not everything deletes.

  7. Firstly, i would like to say im working with goodnotes 6, and a macbook air

    1. the text document is a new feature which I understand but at the moment ive no idea why its pushed to production. the text size is so small and doesnt work when i try to make it bigger, i cant change the font size. Allow us to change the font size of paragraphs because now it's so small im basically straining to see

    2. allow me to copy and paste vcscode code into the code block. ive no idea why i have to retype everything in…

  8. When I squeeze the Apple Pencil Pro, the floating toolbar (Palette) appears. It currently contains many tools I rarely use, while the Lasso tool — which I use constantly — is placed almost at the end of the list.
    Please add an option to customize/reorder the tools in the Apple Pencil Pro squeeze toolbar (Palette).

    1. The text tool should be pinned all the time and not having to pin it each time.

    2. A lock function or layer function. Noteful has this and they are significantly cheaper than goodnotes.

    3. Move the stupid back button back on the toolbar. It takes up space for my document. And covers the document. For us digital planner people the space is important.

  12. I recently learned about your experimental Audio Transcription feature, and I think it is an excellent tool for enhancing productivity and learning. However, I noticed that it currently does not support Chinese transcription. As a Chinese-speaking user, I believe adding Chinese support would significantly improve the accessibility and usability of this feature for a broader audience.

    For users like me, who frequently study in a multilingual environment, having Chinese transcription is essential. Many of my lectures, discussions, and study materials are conducted in Chinese, and the lack of this capability limits my ability to make full use of GoodNotes. Adding…

  13. We really need to provide an online image feature similar to the one shown in the picture. It needs to be like a GIF, and it's very much needed.

  14. Ability to connect sticky notes with connectors to enable true mindmapping experience.
    Currently it's available only for shapes, which allows building quick diagrams and flowcharts. But it's not powerfull and flexible enough for true mindmapping, which requires sticky notes and content that they store.
    Apps like Miro, Apple Freeform have this feature, for example.

  16. I am left handed and with the undo/redo arrows on the top left corner in Goodnotes 7 I can (and occasionally have) involuntarily touch the buttons. An option for left handed persons to move the buttons on the right top corner would be great

    1. I would like a dedicated section for all audio recordings linked in one area instead of only being able to hunt them down in a bunch of different folders. Also provide a pathway to show where the audio was stored.
    2. Option to select a specific audio instead of just the running audio.
    3. Easier way to export audio

  17. Ich fände es super, wenn man beim Bearbeiten mehrere Seiten gleichzeitig anschauen könnte. Es würde bereits helfen, wenn man aufeinanderfolgende Seiten nebeneinander hat. Noch besser wäre es allerdings, wenn man ohne, dass sich die Reihenfolge ändert auch bspw. immer die letzte Seite mit sichtbar hat.
    An einem Beispiel wird es vielleicht deutlicher:
    Ich korrigiere viele Aufgaben und habe auf der letzten Seite meinen Erwartungshorizont in den ich für jede Aufgabe Notizen mache. Aktuell muss ich immer auf die letzte Seite scrollen und wieder zurück. Da die richtige Stelle zu finden dauert teilweise relativ lange. Wenn ich aber die letzte Seite…

  18. An option to manually set the rotation of fountain pen tip. When you turn off the recognize pen rotation option, which is a nice feature, it sets in an oblique angle. It would be nice to be able to manually rotate the pen tip and set it whichever angle you want it.
