  1. I was really excited about the sticky notes feature at first. After the rocky launch and the subsequent patch that supposedly fixed things, I ultimately ended up moving the sticky notes icon to the hidden section of my toolbar—never to be used again (ironically, toolbar customization is probably the most useful feature for me, LOL). Experience tunnel rush, where neon-lit tunnels twist and turn as you race through a kaleidoscope of obstacles, blending stunning visuals with heart-pounding action.

    The way sticky notes are implemented is clunky and unintuitive, creating more problems than they solve. I don’t understand why they…

  2. Since you have added math conversion. Would it be great if the text can also use the latex code and then convert it immediately? Especially if you are typing on keyboards. You just want to type the math notation in latex code rather than using apple pencil and then convert it one by one....

  3. When you convert handwriting into text it would be great if every time it converted the text with the same font and color you have saved as default options

  4. The new quick note widget that you can add to iOS home screen is great, but it would be much more useful if it was response. i.e. if it acted like a post it note and showed the content of your last quick note right there on your home screen. A bit like the post it app for iPad. This would truly make goodnotes the one stop shop for all note taking.

  5. Dark mode for GoodNotes that works like in Notability: PDFs are inverted, and notes created in dark mode are automatically adjusted for printing.

  6. Bookmarks in shared notebooks don’t sync for other users. I add bookmarks, but my students can’t see them. It would be great if bookmarks could sync across devices. Thank you!

  7. Goodnotes takes up a TON of space on my phone - so much, that had to delete it in order to update my ios

    I don't need access to most of my notes all the time - it would be great if we were able to selectively synch specific notebooks or folders to be on our physical devices while the rest stay in the cloud. At present our only option is to export notebooks as goodnotes files or pdfs, save them somewhere else and delete them from the app.

    For example there's only one notebook I'd like to have access…

  8. I really like how the app looked in Goodnotes 5. I feel like the saturation of the colors in Goodnotes 5 was easier on my eyes. One of the reasons (if not, main) why I didn't switch to Goodnotes 6 was because of how deeply saturated the background and stuff looked. It is really harsh on my eyes, and the background is just straight black.

    Can there be a way to have the Goodnotes 5 saturation but still having the features of Goodnotes 6? Or perhaps adding an option to where you can adjust the saturation and color of it…

  9. Some pens support haptics like the microsoft surface pens. Goodnotes currently doesn't support this function and being able to write with haptic feedback on a pen that supports it would make writing feel much better.

  10. I wished I could insert equations into my flashcards in the text part. Just like how I would insert an equation in LaTeX... Since GoodNotes allows to convert handwritten text to LaTeX equations, it would be nice to insert the LaTeX code directly into the flashcard for studying formulae.

  11. Since handwritten recognition only work on Flatten export, and Editable is much bigger, it would be great to have the option to choose to include outlines in the Flatten Export.
    It could be a selectable option when exporting to PDF (Like including handwritten recognition)

  14. I would love a format that is similar to a word processor so when I add or delete a section on a page it automatically resizes the pages joining accordingly.

  15. If you press Clear page and quickly swipe, you actually clear the page you swiped to, and not the current page. This is very annoying, and almost never what you actually want. Can you make Clear page always clear the current page?

  17. Like the new Ask Goodnotes feature, AI may be used to generate properly formatted tests in app from multiple notebooks or folders. There can be various test modes like MCQ based, Subjective, True/False etc.

  19. It would help if one could move Cards between different decks. Merging multiple Card Decks into one session would also be helpful for the smart study Mode

  20. I've seen really mixed reviews—some people love it, while others say it's full of bugs and practically unusable. Is it still worth buying? Should I go for Goodnotes 5 instead? Or would another app be a better choice?

    For context, I'm in high school and plan to keep using it in snake game, where quick reflexes and a good appetite are all you need to dominate the leaderboard.
