  1. I have Goodnotes 5 and I am happy with it. I don't need Goodnotes 6. As I have bought this from you, you weren't supposed to show me any add about your new product! Please stop annoyingly showing Goodnotes 6 upgrade notification & features. Or you should add an option to stop viewing it.

  2. Allow the color pallet to be dragged away from its location at the top of the page, allowing for users to have quicker access to different pen colors anywhere they want on the page instead of being limited to just the top.

  3. says: Would you please send this up as a feature request? I’m making bird ID cards for a trip to Hawaii. For the answer, I would like the common name, the Hawaiian name and the scientific name (those are traditionally indicated by different italicized fonts). This is much easier to use than Anki, but flash card formatting is a bit limited. Bullets would be nice too (make another card with important field marks list.

    I would LOVE if there was a way to add audio file, so that the bird makes its noise when you look at it. It seems…

  4. Like the new Ask Goodnotes feature, AI may be used to generate properly formatted tests in app from multiple notebooks or folders. There can be various test modes like MCQ based, Subjective, True/False etc.

  5. Make a button to make the all top bars become invisible and back visible. Just like top right icon from sketchbook app. It will make the notes more wide open.

  6. I am sad that a similar request had been closed so im trying again: to have the possibility to make a note sheet beside the script but in the same document would be awesome! I struggle a lot with this in Goodnotes, I use the app for all my university stuff and when I go through the documents I always have to insert a clear page and scroll. it would be nice to get some sort of note sheet or postIt beside. That would also be very practical if we want to export all the notes out the document.
    I…

  7. Allow user to be able to drag and organise different notes/folders etc into any order that they want, instead of being limited to organising them by ‘date’ ‘name’ or ‘type’. I believe that this would allow me to organise my Goodnotes app that extra step further to make it perfect.

  8. When viewing outlines, if the name for the outline is long, the user can only see only a few words (around 2-3 words). I wish goodnotes could add a function to adjust the sidebar width on Mac.

  9. Avant de découvrir cette plateforme, je me sentais complètement bloquée dans le développement de mon entreprise. J'avais mis en place plusieurs stratégies, mais je n'arrivais pas à atteindre les résultats escomptés. Chaque mois, je voyais mes efforts se heurter à des murs invisibles, et cela me décourageait. Dès que j'ai commencé à utiliser les services https://rhillane.com/ de ce site, tout a changé pour moi. J'ai été émerveillée par la diversité des outils disponibles. Les formations sont extrêmement bien conçues, avec des étapes claires et des exemples pratiques qui facilitent l'apprentissage. En suivant les conseils d'experts, j'ai pu réorganiser ma stratégie…

  10. I think text to speach would be extremely beneficial for all users, particularly people who have dyslexia and other learning differences. It would be more inclusive for everyone and i believe that more people in my school would use it for taking notes and completing work in school. I have already spoke to teachers and students in my school about good notes and how amazing it is for visual learners. This was many teachers only concern. Thank you

  11. Sticky Notes
    - Sticky notes should impose text size when resized
    - Text should be stuck on the sticky note and not laying on top of it
    - Allow sticky notes to go outside of a page
    - add a tethering point which can tether a specific point on the notebook, and a spot on the sticky note which will allow for it to be moved while also maintaining its connection to the text

  13. Hi, everyone! I have the following question: I'm planning to translate some PDF documents into French using Translate.com, but I'm doubtful about their translation quality. Does anyone have any experience with this service? Especially interested in technical texts - they require precision and accuracy. How are things with formatting after translation? I will be grateful for advice!

  14. I would love to see continuous numbering across pages in the numbered list format on the typing side of Goodnotes. It drives me a little bit crazy that my list numbers start over when I need to continue onto a new page and my list starts back at "1."!!!

  17. I would like to suggest a potential improvement that I believe would greatly enhance the user experience: the ability to apply the handwriting improvement (or calligraphic control) across entire notes or sections, rather than just on illegible words.

  18. I understand we have the hyperlink option, where you can move to a different page by clicking on the text.

    It would be great if we could assign each page to a topic e.g., page 1 , 3 ,4, 20 are consulting and page 2, 5,6 are finance

    and then on the first page or somewhere else it could show a box saying the title then when u click on the text or the box, it would open a new window and only show the pages that are selected to come under that box if that makes sense

  19. Making shapes in GoodNotes is a very nice feature, but as an engineer, it would be nice if you considered the following enhancements when we try to draw the first concepts for the next design:

    Adding the following features will make handling sketches easier:

    Ability to edit shapes and connect them to others.
    Ability to select lines in a shape and make them parallel or perpendicular.
    Ability to measure lines or circles by selecting them and show their sizes, or the angles, and draw the measure distance .
    Ability to edit units in mm or inch to a line and…

  20. The new ruler function would be more helpful if you could also measure lengths with the ruler. Two boxes on the checkered side do not correspond to 1cm on the ruler. Therefore, the ruler can only be used to draw straight lines and unfortunately not to measure lengths.
