  1. If you were to write in black, and change your mind. Instead of erasing and rewriting in a new color PLEASEE create a feature that can allow you to:

    • choose pre existing text
    • change color to desired new color

  2. I don't like the "rub to erase" spec that erases text even when I want to fill it in, so I downgraded, but even after the downgrade I am fed up with popups urging me to update to Goodnotes 6.

  3. It would be great to be able to depend on only typing sometimes and have the text align along the entire paper and lines of selected paper template as an additional feature to the existing text box

  4. Add a timer to flashcards.
    For example, I can create a timer so that I have 10 seconds to answer the flashcard before the answer is displayed.

  5. In Goodnotes 6 there are these beautiful folder icons. But they all feel a bit empty. What if it would show the notebooks inside the folder. This could also make it more clear how many notebooks were in that folder.
    For reference: Planny’s categories

  7. I know it’s a new feature, but I’d love to see a wishlist or save option for the shop. Also maybe a shop on the website or off of the app also. Ultimately some way to see and be able to compare certain items before you buy them based on what you are looking for

  8. It would be extremely useful to be able to do things such as paste an image and annotate it when making flash cards. There are many instances where this would be useful, and would also serve as a quality of life improvement for many students like myself, and across a wide range of subjects.

  9. The interactive comment annotation feature has recently been made available in GoodNotes. However, it is currently only possible to type comments with the keyboard. It would be nice to be given the possibility to add hand-written interactive comment annotations.

    1. It’s hard to scroll though 200 pages of written notes, just to find where the audio was recorded. It would be amazing for us students, if there was an option to see what page/where the audio was recorded.

    2. Please add an update to let us rename recorded audio files.

    3. Change playback speed of the audio.

    4. Add an option that automatically adds the date and time when a new page is created. (This could also help find audio recordings based on date and time of the recording, and the page)

    5. When you draw and hold, it presets into a shape, please…

  14. When using Presentation Mode with AirPlay set as "Mirror Presenter Page," GoodNotes used to hold the displayed tab when going back into the file interface. This was very effective for avoiding distraction for students when looking for a new file to display. It appears that in mid May with no explanation this feature was removed.

    Now, when pressing the "back" button to browse files, the AirPlay display now shows the file interface, rather than holding the displayed page frozen.

    This feature was critical to how I used GoodNotes in my classroom, and I hope it could be reverted, even is…

  16. PLEASE create the control f function for flashcards. Would literally save my life. Cause I have a bunch of flashcard for my anatomy lectures and it's hard to have to go through them one at a time.

  18. Preset colors can be specified for both handwriting and highlights.

    However, the preset of the text box is not changed.

    The problems that arise here are:

    It is difficult to change the color of only part of the text box
    -> It is possible to change some colors through customization, but if you try to change it using a color code, the entire text box is selected and some changes are not made.

    If you want to change the color of only some of them, you need to add text boxes, create spaces between sentences, and align the text boxes…

  19. It would be nice to have a function where the notes can be read out to the user as some people are better audio learners. It would also help with reviewing materials while on the go or for multi-tasking.
