  1. Moveability of the virtual page on the virtual background would be a huge banger. Maybe even rotation to fit to the user natural hand allignment on the page.

    Why?

    I ALWAYS have that huge problem on the lower part of every page. Cant access it porperly because of the rim of my iPad. It gets worse with my confuguration because i have heavy duty case (work in industry) which thickens the iPad alot.

    ofc I would have the same problem with normal paper or notebooks.. but we could have that option, right? :D

  2. Many cross stitchers use Goodnotes to stitch downloaded pdf patterns and highlight the charts(graphs) to keep track of where they are and know what percentage they have completed. Many like to track stitch count (per stitching session and cumulative), so it would be nice if Goodnotes had this feature. Thanks for considering this suggestion.

  4. 檔名較長時在修改檔案名稱的時候常常按不到最前面跟最後面,會一直跳出。
    螢光筆希望可以出水平直線功能,不是畫了按住不放才直線,這樣要等很久,而且只要稍微歪一點,就會變成斜直線,要有一個可以強制開啟水平直線的功能。

  5. Your minimum os requirement is way too high for me to enable icloud sync. My old computer is fine but to enable sync I have to upgrade my os which my old computer does not support. I would not subscribe goodnotes for a function I cannot use. It is impossible for me to buy a new computer just to be able to use the new version of goodnotes. Stop forcing me to upgrade my computer os. You need to be more inclusive!

  7. my handwriting is quite inconsistent and i think it would be a cool idea to have good notes recognise the letter you are typing and change it to a selected ‘font’. i know that i could just type but i much prefer to write my notes because that’s how i memorise well but i find myself rewriting a word multiple times to just make it look nicer. you could also go a step further and allow users to create their own ‘fonts’. this way it would be corrected to be neater but it would still stay in their handwriting. i…

  8. Current Situation
    As it stands, GoodNotes users have to choose between white or black paper at the beginning of a notebook, which stays fixed throughout. This setup has its limitations, particularly for those who frequently switch display modes to adapt to different environments.

    The Proposal
    What if GoodNotes could automatically switch between white and black paper when toggling between light and dark modes? This would be similar to how the iOS Notes app operates, where the paper color changes seamlessly with the mode. Notability also has a similar feature, and incorporating it into GoodNotes could enhance flexibility and usability.

    The…

  10. I work for a local government entity and I have several investigators that purchased goodnotes to use for their investigations. Due to this product not being a CJIS approved (certified app) they are not allowed to install and use the application on their departmental ipads. Is there any plans to get your product CJIS approved.

  11. As it was available in the previous GoodNotes version! I can NOT write neatly without the zoom tool. Why was this feature taken away? :( Also a ruler tool was introduced, but it is not available for flashcards… Again – WHY?
    I had perfected GoodNotes flashcards, now they are completely useless to me. :X
    PLEASE MAKE THIS TOOLS AVAILABLE!

  12. Currently, the maximum thickness of the highlighter is 7.7mm, but please increase it to 10mm.
    Even if I draw a highlighter on the 15pt letter written on the A4 paper size, it is inconvenient because the font is not completely covered at the moment.

  16. I work a lot with PDF-files (most DIN-A4 / Textbooks etc.)
    It would be great to have a horizontal expansion option (if you´re on vertical scroll)
    For an A4 vertical baseplate one could do a vertical expansion with a DIN-A page of another size. (also would not have to be DIN Normed could just be any page)

    It would be great for taking notes or adding additional information in textbooks.

    If one would work through a text book it would be easy to just select all the expansion pages and copy them into a separate Notebook. Particularly for summaries.

    The…

  17. Fix bugs to make easier to type and work in the document with a laptop. For me the document is ALWAYS bugging (even after restarting everything), this includes: jumping a lot when scrolling, typing is very delayed and start to lag, adding pictures or even just going into "picture settings" takes very long due to lagging. I really love working with goodnotes and with the IPad everything always works perfectly! However, bugs in the macOS app makes it very hard. Thank you!

  18. Please add keyboard shortcut and pencil tap options to switch between edit and read-only. I use my iPad a lot with a keyboard or macro pad, and having a shortcut would make the experience so much better.

  19. When I try to install Goodnotes 6 from the AppStore on MacOS 15.0.1, it fails with the message "Macos 13.3 or later is required". From my point of view, 15 is newer than 13. You may have to extend the compatibility to current versions of MacOS.

  20. Fix the known issue of the same typed notes doesn’t look the same in Goodnotes on iPadOS and MacOS. I need this fixed as I type a lot on both my iPad and Mac, especially I use the bulleted list. Seems like a font rendering issue.
