  2. There is a maximum magnification with the zoom window - please remove the limitation to simply allow to write as small as the user wants

    Remove the fixed proportion of the zoom window because it fixes the line height when performing carriage return

    Alternatively use auto advance functionality in regular zoom mode (not the window). Then you don't need the zoom window any more

  3. I kindof do this by taking screenshots of my calendar and importing into goodnotes, but it would be so much better if the events were automatically updated. Planner pages could be daily or weekly.

    Existing planner apps don't allow the handwriting, which makes them not at all like a real planner.

    1. AI Text-to-Handwriting Transformation:
      It would be great to have an AI feature option that transforms typed text into your handwriting style when pasted into GoodNotes. This feature would ensure your notes look personalized and maintain a consistent handwriting style, even when using typed text.

    2. AI-Powered Handwriting Style Improvement:
      Another useful addition would be an AI model that improves your handwriting with AI in your writing style automatically as you write with the Apple Pencil. This feature would enhance legibility while keeping your unique handwriting style.

  4. After the new tape inclusion, it would be nice to have a button to hide all tapes again or to show the content below the tapes at the same time.

  5. I have some feedback and features that I would like to see added to the current (experimental) math conversion tool. Currently when you convert handwritten math to typed text it sometimes doesn't include all the math, or read some of it wrong, so I tried editing the latex text that can be seen at the bottom right other converting, but I am unable to edit it. Therefore, it would be useful to be able to edit the typed math right after conversion to be able to rectify some errors in the Al's interpretation and/or simply add things.

    Also, please make…

  6. I am currently trying goodnotes 6. I was excited about the math feature, however, when writing equations they seem to be consistently converted incorrectly. I understand that there is a process to improve handwriting recognition, and it can be especially difficult when it comes to complex equations, but I was disappointed to see that I could not edit the latex to correct the mistakes. This would be a simple implementation and could allow goodnotes to collect data in order to improve the conversion.

  9. Please add the 2 page view feature!! I have portrait notebooks that I would also like to use horizontally from time to time. I'd like to scroll 2 pages at a time. This is different from split view.

  10. Often times I download PDFs online and I would like to create nested outline tabs so that it's not so cluttered. For example, instead of having Chapter 1, Chapter 1.1, Chapter 1.2, Chapter 1.3, etc. have the ability to nest all sub chapters under Chapter 1. This is great for big textbooks or when I want to organize my notes. It's definitely already a feature Goodnotes 5 supports considering several PDF's have nested outline tabs, but for whatever reason, I cannot make my own nested tabs.

    This can easily be done by click and dragging tabs to nest them under…

  12. After the new update, we got the option to have more than 3 colours in our tool bar, but we lost the quick access to pen size curser because of that.
    Definitely a downgrade.
    Having to click on the little icon to change the size is so annoying and time consuming.
    So please bring the old version back, where we can have our 3 pen sizes directly onto our toolbar.

  13. Dear Goodnotes's Customer service & support,

    Nowadays, Apple had already supported Vietnamese in their dictionary and translation app.
    Could you please help us add the Vietnamese language into Goodnotes - Handwriting Recognition ?
    This will a great help/support from your side and will help many Vietnamese people can use your app in their daily life. It means your money will be increasing crazily if you do that.
    I will be the one of many Vietnamese people who are using Goodnotes, introduce your app to other Vietnamse people immediately, definitely.

    Best regards,

  14. I want to be able to use a dropper to take a color from an image and use it when writing notes for it. Colors help me a lot with memorization in note taking and I think it would help others too.

  15. Vietnamese are using IPad more often to aid their studies and work demand. The handwriting-to-text is very important and helpful to our work, so please add Vietnamese to your languages.

  16. As a web developer student, I would highly find it useful if goodnotes can format code to make it easier to read when code is typed or pasted.
    A functionality that works similar to google docs extension add on, named "Code Block" would be awesome!

  17. Please implement adding of GIFs. I know there are people suggesting this before but there hasn't been any updates so I'm posting here. It would be great if users would be able to add GIFs directly through a platform like Giphy in the app and adding of GIFs via gallery like how users import photos/stickers. I have been switching between goodnotes and notability for a few years now since only notability allows GIFs but goodnotes would definitely be the only app I would use if it lets users to add GIFs. Please consider adding this feature. Thank you.

  18. 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 :)
