  1. The new Woodnotes 6 is packed with great functionality. For some people.

    as a user who primarily (99%) writes in my native Swedish language, the experience has actually gotten worse (GN6 interpret my Swedish as wrongfully written English and tries to change it).

    Why do I have to pay extra for a worse product?

    Please offer a version without the language-dependent features for a reduced cost. I have supported GN for a VERY long time, but this makes me feel scammed. Other features that are non-language dependent are making GN6 worth an upgrade, but it's not fair that I have…

  4. 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!

  5. 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,…

  6. 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…

  7. 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.

  8. I use Goodnotes to create, track and make notes for my guitar practice sessions.

    One of the learning methods proven effective for adult learning is “interleaving”: choosing 2 or more practice objectives and spending a short defined time alternating and/or rotating through each item in a defined time period (eg. 5 minutes per item).

    The ability to attach a timer (appt watch and / or count down) to each item on my practice sheet to set the target time and record ye actual time spent on each item. Displaying the time on the notes page vs in the timer widget…

  9. Audio Transcripts—the power to turn any audio recording directly into text within your note! Capture every detail and never worry about gaps in your knowledge. Copy, paste, and search within time-stamped text, so you always have the info you need! Now available with Notability Plus

    Notability has just released this feature to the market and I think it's very important to have this function for students or lectures.

  10. I found that in the newest version, when rolling pages horizontally, if my finger slides fast, next page will automatically adapted(i.e. next page’s top will align to the top of screen), I felt uncomfortable with this feature sometimes and I want an option to switch it off.

  12. GoodNotes 開発チーム様

    いつもGoodNotes 6を愛用させていただいております。素晴らしいアプリを開発いただき、誠にありがとうございます。

    本日は、今後の機能改善を期待し、一点ご要望があり連絡いたしました。
    それは、「ページの拡大率をパーセント(%)で表示する機能」を追加していただきたい、というものです。

    現状のGoodNotes 6では、ピンチ操作でページを拡大した際に、その倍率がどのくらいなのかを知る術がありません。
    その結果、ノートを開くたびに拡大率が微妙に異なってしまい、文字の大きさが揃わず、書き込みの体験に一貫性がなくなってしまいます。特に、細かな図や整ったノートを作成しようとする際に、この問題は非常に大きなストレスとなります。

    ズームウィンドウ機能が便利なことは承知しておりますが、ページ全体を直感的に拡大・縮小しながら書き込みたい場面も多くあります。

    他の多くのドローイングアプリやノートアプリでは、拡大率の表示は標準的な機能として搭載されています。ぜひGoodNotesにもこの機能を追加いただき、より快適で質の高いノート作成体験を提供していただけますと幸いです。

    お忙しいところ恐縮ですが、本件につきましてご検討いただけますよう、何卒よろしくお願い申し上げます。
    今後のさらなるアップデートを心より楽しみにしております。

  14. Using the lasso tool, when I select a title I could make it a heading, subtitle or subheading & the app would automatically recognize it and show it in the outlines tab.

  19. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I use the GoodNotes app daily for studying and journaling, and I’d like to suggest a feature that could make the user experience even smoother.

    Currently, to view two pages side-by-side, I need to enter split mode, which requires multiple steps: pressing the split mode button, selecting GoodNotes again, and reopening the file. While this works, it can be inconvenient, especially for frequent use.

    I’d love to suggest a two-page view that automatically activates when the device is placed horizontally (landscape orientation) without needing additional steps or split mode. This adjustment would allow for a seamless experience…

  20. There is no note-taking app out there that supports both handwritten notes and typed notes. By adding the keyboard feature, Goodnotes has taken a first step towards becoming an all-rounder app. The only problem is that the keyboard feature can't compete with apps like Obsidian or Notion, as it is extremely time consuming to format the text. So far, it is only suitable for aesthetic reasons, but is not practically usable. By adding support for Markdown, Goodnotes would finally have the first hybrid all-rounder solution for notes.

    I attached some examples of how it could look like implemented.
