  1. I loved getting a satisfying ding when using Microsoft Suite’s to do list and ticking off a task. It would be great if we could add a sound when inserting stickers for the same gratification. Even if this were just made possible through ‘Shortcuts’ on the iPad, so we could add a sound. That would increase my motivation.

  2. Instead of having to drag past the edge for adding a new page, it would be nice if Goodnotes had an option to always add an empty page at the end, similar to how Notability does it. This would be particularly useful for vertical page, since writing at the bottom edge of the screen is ergonomically difficult.

  3. Please add a button on the toolbar to hide the navigation and tabs bar while editing. These bars occupy a significant amount of screen space and aren't necessary during the document editing process. Their large size can be distracting and reduces the available workspace. I really enjoy using Goodnotes, but this issue might force me to consider switching to another app if it remains unresolved.

  4. Ask goodnotes is a good thing but needs some pretty obvious, low hanging improvements to be really usable.
    When you select "translate" from the quick actions in "Ask goodnotes" you need to enter the language every time! This is incredibly annoying. Obviously it needs to remember your selection.
    In addition, the language defaults to the language of the text, which is, in gentle terms, less than intelligent. Make it default to English or to the system's language....

  5. The space that the current toolbar takes on smaller ipads very large, designing a option to toggle the toolbar into a small movable window like in notability would drastically improve the space for smaller devices.
    I have been thinking of switching over for this exact reason but would like to see if this could be implemented first.
    Thank you.

  7. I am a heavy goodnotes user, I have noticed that when my notes become complex the app starts to lag/bug/stutter to the point where my handwriting changes (as if the app is drawing straight lines between points that are noticeably further away from each other). By complex files, I don't mean long documents but rather supercharged single-page documents (for cheat sheets for example)

    edit: I am using an M series iPad Pro

  8. I am required to download maps and images into Goodnotes for work and highlight and markup on these files.
    I find it extremely difficult to spot colours on an already colourful document. Is there a a tool or setting that could allow the user to change files from colour to greyscale?
    There are a few long ways to do this with desktops but I only carry an iPad with me. So unless I have a premium Adobe subscription I am stuck.
    I understand my issue may be unique but I’m sure the ‘convert to greyscale’ tool could come in handy…

  9. Be able to scale a picture from corner, rather than centre. So, top left corner stays put, and dragging the bottom right corner of a picture scales the picture proportionately (and the top left corner stays fixed)

  10. Be able to scale a picture by dragging from the corner rather than center-scaling. So, Top Left corner stays fixed, dragging the bottom right corner enlarges the picture proportionately. Perhaps by pressing the Option button while dragging the corner?

  11. 複数ページのpdfデータを取り込むと、表示が不安定になります。
    書き込み中のページが突然別ページの表示に変わり切り替えができません。
    ページ数が増すと計算処理が追いつかないのかな?

  12. Lets say that I highlight some text or underline some text or handwrite something in a text box. If i move the location of the text box or make some changes in the text box, the text moves, but the highlights or handwritten text does not change accordingly. This seriously lowers the ability to work with the text box.

    I guess i can use the Lasso tool to move the text box around, but i still cannot edit the text within the text box without disturbing the highlights or underlines.

  13. Please add a button on the tool bar to hide the nav bar and tabs bar. The nav bar and tabs bar takes a lot of space and they're not needed when I'm editing a document. It's annoying how the 2 big bars take up precious screen space. I love Goodnotes, but I unfortunately would have to switch to another app if this issue is unsolved.

  15. I am a current user of GoodNotes 6 and have been enjoying the new pencil feature. However, I’ve noticed that the pencil appears quite faint unless I press down with significant force. When writing with a lighter touch, the lines are too light and difficult to see clearly.

    I believe an option to adjust the pencil’s sensitivity, allowing users to control how dark or light the pencil strokes appear, would greatly improve the experience. This feature would be especially helpful for users like me who prefer a darker stroke without having to apply too much pressure.

    Thank you for your…

  16. It would be great to integrate an image-generating tool into GoodNotes 6, like shown in the picture. For Example, this feature would allow students to express their ideas more creatively by generating unique images that complement their written content. It would be also great for presenting their written things in class with matching pictures to the topic.

  19. • It would be really useful, if you could scroll through all of the flash card in a learning set without having to switch to the menu.
    • Furthermore, it would also be nice to hide the answers, so you can find certain informations on your flash cards faster.
    • It would be nice if you could change the background of flash cards.
    • The adaptation to smaller screens needs to be improved.

    otherwise, the tool is great!
