  1. In Text mode:
    - Being able to insert text symbols, specifically arrows, e.g. ↑→↓← and "therefore", as these are useful shorthand in notes describing processes and events (specifically medicine).
    - Recognising super-/sub-script
    - Convert to "chemical reactions" not just math

  2. When I import any paper or pdf which has references, upon clicking on used references taking to the right reference should be enabled.
    Right now this feature does not exist. The current update is charging so much but this simple feature is not yet there even after so many posts. Other notes apps provide this feature. Kindly consider this.

  3. Please add Color Presets for the Text Styling feature. I constantly have to refer back to handwriting feature to fetch the color hex code to use to the text styling ( text box) / hand writing to text features.

  4. I have a suggestion that I think would make it even more useful for reading and taking notes. When I read a PDF document, I often come across references or links that take me to other pages within the document. This is especially useful when the text contains a reference number or symbol that I need to look up to fully understand the content.

    However, one thing that can be frustrating is when I follow a link to a new page and then want to return to the page I was reading before. In order to do this, I have…

  7. Create an option to align handwritten text either to the left (for bullet points), right, middle, or bottom — this is a function similar to that of Adobe Illustrator.

    Sometimes when handwriting notes (especially on documents that do not have writing lines), the text may become slanted as we write. Creating an option to align the text would make it much quicker and easier for users to improve the look of our notes.

  8. The UI does not have to always be visible. When i am taking notes i just want a FULLSCREEN (see that idea too) paper and maybe a widget on one of the edges for changing the color or the thickness of my pen. I don't need to have the save and delete and bookmark and tabs and title and everything on top of the paper. Just tools and colors. For more there should be a pop-up menu or something.

  9. It would be great to be able to export study sets and/or flashcards into a printable form that would be the size of a notecard, to be folded over and made into a physical card.

  10. I appreciate the opportunity to share my feedback on GoodNotes' handwriting recognition feature. I think it is a great initiative to allow users to contribute their handwriting samples to improve the accuracy of the algorithm.

    However, I also think that there is room for improvement in terms of motivating and rewarding the users for their contributions. I suggest that GoodNotes should implement some kind of reward system or badge system that recognizes the users' efforts and achievements. The rewards could be something simple like some free exclusive stickers. And the badges should indicate the number of contributions made by the…

  11. GoodNote 5 and GoodNote 6 are experiencing an issue where they cannot export PDFs to Outlook. After clicking on Outlook, it prompts to add a label, and when you press 'add label,' the Outlook program crashes immediately. It simply closes by itself every time. This prevents the export of files from GoodNote to Outlook. Can you please help me resolve this issue?"

  14. I use Goodnotes for reading academic papers in college and it would be very useful if I can take notes right next to paper, not in another notebook. So, when I open the pdf, I also want to see the side notes I took in the same page.

  17. In modalità tastiera non si può fare granché se non scrivere ma solo con pochi stili e tipi di formattazione possibili. Si dovrebbe rendere più libera la possibilità di scegliere i tipi di caratteri

  18. Quando si finisce di scrivere una pagina non si riesce a continuare direttamente a scrivere nella pagina successiva, ma viene richiesto prima se si vuole aggiungere la pagina e poi viene cancellata gran parte delle ultime frasi della pagina precedente e sovraccaricate. Si potrebbe fare in modo di aggiungere in automatico una pagina nel momento in cui quella prima finisce così da poter continuare a scrivere senza interruzioni e problemi di sovratrascrizione?

  19. Please bring back drawing thickness so that it's not under a dropdown menu. Taking notes is way more streamlined with having the 3 thickness options readily available in the toolbar
