  1. You can not delete the duplication until restart of the app. Then the old picture/text etc. disappears and only appears at the intended place. It‘s really annoying. Also if you zoom in to write sometimes parts of the strokes or dots disappear. You have to either overwrite it to fix it or erase/undo and write again.

  2. While scribble to erase works with pen, it is not working with pencil. That option should be added.

  5. Please add this! I love good notes so much but I use an iPad and Samsung phone. I really want to be a digital planner girlie but I don't want to bring my bulky iPad everywhere! I'm so jealous of the iPhone users!

  6. When resizing images in GoodNotes, the image always scales from the center. This makes it very difficult to align multiple imported images like sheet music pages. Please allow resizing from just one side or corner (e.g., like in Keynote or Pages).

    This would make GoodNotes much more usable for music editors, designers, and people who work with imported documents. Thank you!

  7. I have huge study sets (hundreds of flashcards). I would love to be able to set a limit for daily flashcards (e.g. 50 / day, similar to Anki), since I find it very demotivating to see a number like 150 flashcards due, especially, after I created new ones.

  8. Currently the writing tool in Goodnotes is a little useless in my opinion there are like 5 styles I can choose from.
    Why can’t I change the font?
    Why can’t I change the size specifically?
    Why can’t I insert pictures that move with text or wrap the Text?
    Why can’t YOU use the existing feature of the Textbox for the Writing Tool?
    And then just try once to change the color of a text snippet to a custom color…nice menu…but I can’t scroll because my onscreen keyboard is in the way and therefore I can’t select the color wheel (which…

  11. English version:
    I'm excited about the new scalable ruler. Angles to the horizontal can also be easily measured and drawn.

    BUT: Many colleagues, especially in mathematics, at my school and certainly at many other schools lack a scalable set square as a replacement or supplement. This could also be used to measure angles between two straight lines and not just to the horizontal.
    There are some ideas on how to incorporate a set square. However, these set squares do not adjust in size (scaling) when you enlarge or reduce the page. In addition, you cannot draw a line along the…

  12. Hi there!

    I absolutely love Goodnotes and the direction of BETA. However, during my experimentation, I discovered a limitation compared to Miro. For the record, I believe Goodnotes’ writing experience is significantly better than Miro’s. Nevertheless, I need connectors that function 2-way in relation to handwritten items. (SEE VIDEO)

    https://share.zight.com/Apud8dAe

    As you can see in the video, once I connect handwritten items in Goodnotes, both ends of the connectors don’t move in sync, as Miro’s connectors do. This limitation is a critical one in my note-taking and mind mapping process. I do see this works fine with shapes, but not…

  15. I would like to make the suggestion of a calligraphy pen. I prefer my handwriting ten times more with calligraphy pen feature.
    The first jpeg is using the apple product Freeform with calligraphy pen and regular pen. The second jpeg is Goodnotes.

    Thank you!

  16. I am silly and forgot my password, I can still access what I have locked using Touch ID but would really appreciate the ability to reset a forgotten password so I can continue using the feature for other notebooks!

  17. Right now it is only possible to add an entire page to the Custom Outline or create a link to an entire page.

    It would critically enhance productivity if users were able to select some parts of the notebook and add it as a section in the outline, or create a link to a specific section or line of text.

    It should be possible to for instance mark some content such as handwritten text, an image, an Element, a Textbox etc. and either add it to the outline with a customized name, or create a link to some content.

    Personally,…

  18. Hello,
    I have an idea on how to promote Goodnotes 6 more through social media. This would allow us to engage a wider audience of students and their parents. I am a chemical technology engineer and have been tutoring math online for 15 years. I have been using the Goodnotes app for tutoring for several years and have been very satisfied. I have recently started recording short tutorial videos in maths, chemistry and science which I create exclusively in the Goodnotes app6. The videos would be suitable to promote Goodnotes on TikTok or Instagram or Facebook. I think that in…

  19. Sometimes you need to know the answer and the Question or the technical Term. It would be helpful being able switching it instead of having to make an extra studyset. You could always switch it back.
