  1. There have been several instances where I have tried to write on the left margin of my paper and since I am left-handed, I cannot move the paper enough to the right for my preferred zoom level to write. If you zoom in a lot to where it fills your screen, there is no ability to extend the paper any more than the margin of your screen.

  2. Before, I could use the highlighter, close the toolbar, reopen the toolbar, and still find the highlighter selected. Now when I close and reopen the toolbar, the pen is selected.
    Would you please fix this?
    Thanks

  3. I would prefer some Templates in other Languages like German, French etc.
    The most Templates can't be used for foreigners.
    The Cook Book for Example is a good Idea, but it would be better if it ist in different languages.

  4. Hello,
    we math teachers need a drawing tool in the app that can be used to draw a circle with a fixed radius and a circle center. A locking function would also be important.
    Is this planned for the next updates to Goodnotes 6?
    Best regards

  7. Accessing the zoom function after the new update is now more inconvenient. It would be easier to access if one did not need to scroll to select the option :)

  9. To better facilitate organization of various documents that may need to be simultaneously accessible, assigning opened documents' tabs a provisional color designation would prove useful (with an option to set said color designation as definitive for future instances).

  10. In the goodnotes 6 there is the scribble option, but when I am writing in attached lettres it confuses my writing for delete. It is really frustrating and i would like to turn it off, but not in my ipad settings, as it is useful in other apps. Also when i make a little drawing, it confuses it for delete as well sometimes.

  12. There is already a feature of tracking handwritings when replaying the audio recordings. But it is more useful to know which slides/pages you are looking at when the audio is recorded, especially for med school.

    That way, there is no need to write each intricate details that your lecturer has said. If you’re reviewing, and you found a page that is pretty confusing, you just need to replay the recording of that page. Right now, you still need to listen back minutes of recordings just to search for a short second long clip. It is pretty time consuming.

  14. It would be great if we could add a means to share or back up the slots themselves stored as pen color codes or type pen color codes. If you back up your iPad with iTunes, you can save the color code, but I think it's a function that you need when you want to reinstall and use the app.

  15. Goodnotes 5 has been superb as a notetaking app. Goodnotes 6 is following the path of other apps to add features, change structures and increase file sizes with cosmetic changes that don’t improve efficiency or effectiveness. Microsoft OneNote has many features and much of what Goodnotes 6 offers. The extra features don’t improve navigation or effectiveness and make the app clunky. Rather than have one app that must DO everything, if you want to add features, create two. One that is great for notetaking and one that adds the frills, takes extra space and add “glitter”

    Goodnotes has been superb…

  16. Requesting having a feature to view multiple pages at a time and have a draggable scroll bar to run through the pages quickly like you would do in a normal notebook. The current at a glance menu (four square one) allows you to see 4 pages in a single row which, depending on how big we write isn't enough to understand what the content is on each page.

  18. Ability to insert both titles and photos to each comment. The only option today is an automatic serial number as a title and only typing text as a comment.

  19. When trying to purchase a one-time payment for Goodnotes 6, the only available plans are the 1-year plans. This might be due to having started with the free trial, but I am worried about losing previously-made documents.

  20. With the addition of scribble to erase, some words that I write (especially cursive) tend to be mistaken as an attempt to erase. An addition of a personalization feature where we can input specific strokes that shouldn't be treated as scribbling would be extremely helpful, as currently I cannot use the scribble-erase function unless I never use the word "the" or "those"
