  3. Please provide the option to pinch out to the page library from within a specific page. Example: When on page 5 of a 30 page document, the user pinches inward to shrink the page to a thumbnail whereby the user can quickly scroll down to page 30 and select to directly open that page.

  5. add the ability to embed a spreadsheet (or word document) and use it as a true spreadsheet - be able to access drop down lists and conditional formatting, etc. This would put me over the moon since this is already an amazing app.

  6. Allow to choose how much the Zoom window goes down when it returns to the left of the page. Right now it goes down by a multiple of its height. This is not comfortable at all as the line I write into is only a fraction of the Zoom window height.

  8. Goodnotes 6 should be able to add a feature wherein a request for authentication code is sent first before deletion of account. Sometimes people “misclick” the delete button account which made other devices log out of the account. It is a hassle for everyone 😫

  9. Why are there just 9 colors for the folders and not Infinite numbers of colors as it is for the normal papers in Goodnotes 6.
    It’s very difficult to keep the folders separate by itself you should add this feature.

  10. Typing right to left is one of the more important features that needs to be added, all of Hebrew and Arabic writers just can’t type in the app because of this issue.

  11. When typing a bulleted or numbered list, I want to use the tab / indent key to create multiple different levels.

    Needed for both the "Full-Page Typing Mode" and the "Text Styling / Textbox" features.

    For example...
    • Topic
    ______ • Item
    ____________ • Detail
    ____________ • Detail
    ______ • Item
    • Topic
    ______ • Item
    ______ • Item

    This is a popular request for document outlines, but it would also be great for text within notes & notebooks!

  13. Dashed lines and curves would be great. I often find myself needing to draw a dashed line in graphs, or in hidden sides of 3d shapes. It’s a must in a note taking app. The implementation of this feature shouldn’t be a challenge for any programmer, especially as it’s already exists in Goodnotes 5 code. For example, the dashed curved in the Lasso tool, or the way Goodnotes 5 draws shapes. If you use Standard Eraser to erase alternating sub curves, you are left with a dashed curve, except now it’s not functioning as a curve and you can’t edit…

  15. I am loving the new typing mode, but an important limitation is it does not currently support writing test in at least two columns (even in the default two- and three-column templates).

    Furthermore, the potential workaround of "manually" making columns by tabulating the gap between the desired columns in each line does not work either: after a couple of tabs, the cursor immediately moves down to the next line.

    This would be especially useful for e.g. typing vocabulary lists in two languages (one per column) or making long lists with short entries more compact (in terms of numbers of pages).

  16. I really love the new experimental typing mode. It would be great to be able to use it with graph paper and dot paper as well to allow for integration of typing and diagram drawing for science and math classes, etc.

    Also, the bullet point and number list system is glitchy. You can not indent or make sub-bullet points, which I think is important. And you can only tab about halfway into the page before it starts a new line which is annoying. It would also be nice to change the text color of specific words.

  17. Hi, I love the new feature and I'm tankful for the GoodNotes team for working so hard to bring so many useful features to the app to help us study. I would have one request and that is to be able to move cards from one study sets to another. That would be tremendously useful.

  18. As a student, I have a notebook for each class and like to record the lectures for especially difficult topics. I would like to be able to quickly review the audio files when studying; I think the rename feature is vital so I can quickly access a specific lecture topic without trying to figure out what day (or even what hour) the lecture was given. It will also help me organize topics.

    I also think a separate space for an audio transcript would be extremely helpful for productivity. Not only does it help me quickly navigate the recording (e.g. jump…

  19. I wish we had the ability to change the order of images, like in Microsoft Word. Instead of having to paste images in a certain order for the correct one to be on top, I wish we could click the image and either send it forward or backward.
