  2. Please, let us choose custom color for toolbar or add some options. I know its purely aesthetic feature but I pay huge attention to my work environment and this weird toolbar color of Goodnotes is driving me crazy :) At least please add pure white option so I could make it more minimalistic, like Instapaper looks for example.

  5. Correct my bad hand-writing as I write (much like my bad lines and circles are corrected in-place into straight lines and Giotto's perfect circles).

    This feature could be switchable, so I can toggle it ON when I lecture and toggle it OFF when I write my personal annotations.

  6. It would be great if lines snapped into place at the intersections of the checkered template (as with Notability). In addition, I would not add a ruler but a information directly next to a line that shows the length of it (as with Freeform). Finally, I would add an icon to the toolbar with which you can quickly draw a coordinate system.

  7. App setting to choose to default the spell check for handwriting to off or on. Then inside a document, the ability to set it to off or on.
    I want to be able to default the spell check to “off” for all documents. Then inside a document if I want to turn it on for that document, allow me to turn it on.

  8. We can add images into our notes but there is currently no option to insert video files & audio files. Please consider adding this feature. Allow us to upload audio & video files to our notes, just as we are able to upload pictures.

  9. In GoodNotes 5 (Version 6.3.9 (2595824.519274371) ) there is a little bug: when using a sheet, taking notes or using a notebook the HUD of Apple (time, date in the left corner; wifi, battery, VPN, connected bluetooth devices etc.) is not shown any more. When opening GoodNotes or opening a normal folder, everything is fine. Could you pleas fix that with the next update?

  10. The convert to text is great but when I have rotated a sheet so my iPad more resembles a sheet of paper it does not work, just gives random images. I can rotate and convert but would be nice to not have to.

  14. Why not implement a feature where user can type a number, e.g. X in a text box, tap “add new pages” button to add X number new pages (according to template) at one go?

  15. Please add the option to change the line thickness of your notes (with lasso tool) without resizing everything.

    This would be very useful when realizing that your notes would look better if the linewidth was smaller/larger after you already took a lot of notes

  16. Non overlapping highlighter! Or the ability to change the opacity on the highlighter! I use goodnotes for drawing and coloring is soooo difficult right now because you can’t lift your pen up or it will overlap the color :(

  17. There are a few key items missing for digital planner users.
    1. Please allow digital planner users to click on hyperlinks in every mode - not just in read mode. Planners are hyperlinked so that we can get to pages quickly. Pressing and holding to open link is not efficient
    2.Now that we have move to front/back can we please get lock in place
    3. Copy and paste in exact same place on another page
    4. Customizable tool bar, more pen options, and more than one text favorite
    5. Get rid of drop down toolbar which decreases the planner space.…

  18. Hello Goodnotes team, apple introduced the interactive widgets with ios 17. I think it is fantastic, if you add the vocabulary function to the interactive widgets. apple showed it with the example of quizlett in the WWDC. If you add this you can learn easy your vocabularys on your Home screen by swiping between the apps.

  19. It’s difficult to add text to the iOS app. This makes it difficult for students to study while travelling on public transport, eating at the university food court or during wait times (heavy to hold iPad up mid-air).

  20. Why not max profits and global IQ & knowledge quantity or complexity of humans by implementing adjustable vertical border between Cornell page layout space (template) and page main body space in Goodnotes 6 iPadOS app? This allows user to take good notes without fear of running out of space. Integrate the concept of infinite free form canvas and Excel adjustable columns into Cornell page layout (template) for global note taking apps.
