  1. Handwriting stabilization

    I love everything about goodnotes EXCEPT that you are lacking this very basic feature. I am high functioning ASD (and the stereotypical sloppy handwriting) and have connective tissue disorders that make my hands hard to control on a regular basis. I thrive with visual data and organization and your app truly is THE BEST - but I always discontinue use of this app very quickly due to the absolute chicken scratch it turns my handwriting into. This is a very real accessibility issue that I am disappointed to see overlooked by a company of your size and acclaim.

  2. Justify text option

    Add a justified text option. The centralized and the right/left are not the best ones to organize the text and leaves gaps. It's simple, easy and very experience-changer.

  3. Night Mode for PDFs and the app in general

    Could you guys make it a sort of greyscale effect when given the Night Mode option. Auto Converts any uploaded pdf into dark mode when using in the app, and converts black to white and vice versa. This would be especially useful when revising at night in a medium lit environment. I gave a little idea in the picture. Hopefully would give some idea.

  4. Switching between sets of color palettes

    I think it would be a nice idea if I could create a color palette and then save it. Like, if I make a palette that's full of pastels and another that's darker colors, I could create a "pastel palette" and a "dark palette." That way, if I find myself preferring the dark palette for what I'm doing but pastels for another project, I could easily switch between the two without having to go through and change everything again.

  5. Allow Text in more than one column

    A basic word processing format is multiple columns that can hold text. Currently, even though in the paper choice section columns are offered as an option, when using columns, there is no way to actually put text on the adjacent columns. Text will not flow over nor can a simple cursor touch move text flow over to the next column.

  7. Opacity

    Ability to adjust opacity of objects. Stickers, photos, etc.
    There are many reasons I switched to Zinnia but this is the biggest selling point. It’s so basic I can’t wrap my head around why it’s not in GoodNotes.

  8. Goodnotes 6 Heats up my device A LOT

    Hi! I’ve been enjoying Goodnotes 6 a lot but I realised that it heats up a lot (Like A LOT) when using it and I use it on ipad. (Using it on ipad means I have to write and my hand gets uncomfortable and kinda red) I hope there could be a feature, like make it run smoother but emit less heat. Thanks!

  9. Change page template for all pages at once.

    Currently, changing the template only changes it for a single page, would be great if we could remove the template for all pages at once after finishing the notes.

    We may need a ruled, squared or dotted page while writing notes but while reading/sharing we would prefer it on a blank background.

  10. Pen, Add Thickness Slot to Clear

    There are basically 3 pen thickness slots, eraser slots, and highlighter thickness slots, so I'd like to have additional thickness slots and eraser slots.

  12. moving items across pages

    Allow for selected items to be moved across pages for a better workflow.
    this saves time from not having to copy-paste items instead.

    basically making it so multiple pages can be treated as one:
    lasso two pages at once, move items across two pages, right on two pages with a single line, etc.

  13. Enable ability to export study sets to excel

    It would be helpful so that we can create additional study sets easier as I have found excel is the best way to input info into study sets but without the ability to merge sets at this time.

  16. Draw/type/images on flashcards

    You should be able to insert images into flashcards AND draw on them. Or insert an image AND add text. Or all three! I don't understand why you have to choose only one at a time.

  19. Bulgarian language

    Hey, it would be really nice and helpful to add Bulgarian as recognised language. I see that Russian is available which also uses the Cyrillic alphabet, hopefully Bulgarian will be available soon too!

  20. Smaller, movable toolbar

    I think the current GN6 toolbar, status bar area takes up a bit too much space, especially in landscape mode. It almost feels like 1/5 of the screen is gone.

    An alternative workaround in GN5 was not using tabs, this saved up a good chunk of space. I am unable to find such an option on GN6.

    I say this in comparison to other competitor apps which have a much smaller toolbar area where the emphasis is on the paper/notebook itself, and not the app around it.

    I think this option would really benefit a lot of people.
