  1. We all use different tools more frequently, and the new squeeze-to-display-palette with the Apple Pencil Pro is fantastic, but it isn't reflecting the new customized order we make in the top toolbar. And of course it should, it seems to me.

  3. More customization options and shortcuts would be great:
    - Modify the color of the folder according to the hex code.
    - Include varieties of icons.
    - Choose an image to replace the folder icon.
    - Add the folder or document to the home page as a shortcut.
    - Widgets to have a shortcut to folders and documents.

  4. I take notes with diff colour and diff size of pen so every time,I have to select size and colour if you provide more than one pen feature then it is easy to choose pen which is customised on my preference of size and colour. After that i have to choose only pen instead of choosing size and colour every time like notability. Please add that feature.

  5. When you convert handwriting into text it would be great if every time it converted the text with the same font and color you have saved as default options

  6. When adding a link to a page in the existing document, the option to choose from outline and page number should appear instead of taking to the first page’s thumbnail of the document.

  8. The experimental math conversion tool for Goodnotes6 is fairly good. It can convert most of 1-liner math handwriting satisfactory!
    However, it seems that the color of produced math formula is black only and can't be changed.
    Please make it possible to change color of the produced formulas, like other objects such as lines and typed texts. Assuming LaTeX as the conversion backend, it shouldn't be very difficult to make it by inserting a preamble \color{colorname} just before the math script.

  10. It would be nice to be able to customize the palette that appears with the squeeze gesture on apple pencil pro. For example, I would like to add "redo" and remove tools I never use so that others that I do are more easily accessible.

  11. When I need to adjust the size, the sticker is brought to the front over the text. Also, I’m surprised I need to day this but GoodNotes still doesn’t have an infinite canvas. Another thing that FreeForm has is how it’ll post a preview of the website when you add a Hyperlink. And this app is FREE. It even has more pen types to play with.

    The only reason I still use GoodNotes is because of its Export. Just do what FreeForm can do. Also, a useful tip: If you need Infinite Canvis, just double the page size from A3…

  13. This feature is used by Notability app. I’ve seen that some of people already mentioned this idea, but they had a really small amount of votes. This tool allows to cover a part of text or a note in order to test yourself. This feature is similar to the “cloze” flashcard in Anki and I think that it would be a perfect solution for students that like to learn from their notes

  14. Hi, I am a student and recently passed my exams with good grades. If you want to know the reason behind this success, I would like to tell you that I was facing difficulty with my assignments. My friend suggested trying https://www.ukassignmenthelp.uk, and I found it really helpful. I want to share this because as a student, it's very difficult to complete assignments on time, and I've seen many others in this forum seeking services like this

  15. I would love to be able to use the lasso tool to select a handwritten word in a notebook and have that take me to a particular section in my notes. I know you can link to a certain page, but from my knowledge the link must be typed and I would like to be able to be able to link to a section of the screen. This could maybe be done by zooming into a certain section that you want to link to and having a button up the top allowing you to save that position in the screen…

  16. I use a different app (speechify) to read off pdfs, etc to me. It works really well and helps me get through readings in in uni I would struggle with other wise. However, I much prefer to highlight my readings, etc as a doc in goodnotes. I think such a feature would be immensely helpful for college students in good notes.

  17. Two dots on the dotted paper templates are a little over 1.1 cm apart on the ruler. It would be great for drawing graphs if they are 1 cm apart, so the templates fit the ruler. The same issue applies to the squared paper.

  18. 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.

  19. Please create an auto-generated table of contents template, that can also be edited. This should include an option to sort by date, through your outline, or topics.

    Someone else said "Allow me to select the text, eg my page heading like (meeting to discuss projected financial) and then click on a button which shoots the page heading to an automatically generated table of contents in the front of the Notebook. Table of contents will be built using all the specified headings, and should also display the date of that entry for easy reference." THIS IS GREAT AND SO HELPFUL.
