  2. With the new squeeze function on Apple Pencil Pro, and how it brings up the new menu (Palette), it would be super cool to have this menu show up if you hold an older Apple Pencil down for a couple seconds. (Element note has this feature as well) but it would be super awesome to have for faster tool switching for people that aren’t on the newest iPads.

    TLDR bring the new squeeze menu to the rest of the pencils by holding down on the screen without moving your pen.

  4. Situation:
    As a frequent user of GoodNotes, my primary activity involves editing PDF files. I import numerous documents into the app to annotate and review them using my Apple Pencil. These edits include highlighting key information and jotting down spontaneous thoughts. Once edited, I export these PDFs to store them in my personal file system, including iCloud, for access through various other tools like Obsidian or Adobe Acrobat Pro.

    Improvement:
    I propose an enhancement where GoodNotes can directly link to specific folders on iCloud or local storage on a MacBook. Instead of importing PDFs into GoodNotes' internal storage, this feature…

  6. Separates colour palettes within the colour picking tool so that we can easily identity sets of colour instead of just one massive list of them!

  7. Dear Developers and Desginers,

    I would love to be able to insert text in between lines already drawn. Otherwise I have to manually move text and try to insert the rest, IF there is space on the page.

    I understand that enabling this feature might mess up pages. Well, I would suggest to try to use AI to solve this problem.

    Or you might enable the feature while warning the user that the pages might get messed up. To do this you have to treat different pages as if they were one infinite page, I know... So, I suggest that…

  8. Lock function is required

    When I memorize and exercise, I want to rewrite the content on the page after finishing work.
    In this case, lock function is required so that previously made part can not be erased.

    Entire page deleting function is required after rewriting.

    Thanks

  10. I purchased a few sticker packs and noticed that when downloaded to Elements the stickers are randomly sorted which makes it impossible to find stickers by category. The app currently does not include functionality to sort these easily. However it would make more sense that these were downloaded in the order of category of the sticker pack.

  14. It would be amazing if we could get an Update in Goodnotes 6 with an AI Copilot that outlines the most important informations of a page (also the handwritten) on the side to make them easier to learn. Please also integrate an connection to this AI with the vocabularies, to generate them automatically from the note page.

  15. Sometimes the answer on a study set is long, and there’s no way to highlight text of underline it in the answer. Being able to draw of highlight on top of the text as you would in a notebook would be much easier and neater!

  16. A feature with which I can scan a written sheet of paper, for example. But then the handwriting should be recognized automatically so that I can edit it again. (Erasing, moving and so on)

  17. I often organize, review, and make comments on multiple large documents that I have imported to Goodnotes. The new comments feature is a great addition, but its value is limited for my use because the pages with comments are not flagged in any way, nor am I able to view all comments. I am forced to either bookmark any page with a comment or add those pages to pdf outlines, which is redundant and crowds up the outlines and favorites.

    It would be very useful if all comments in a document could be viewed collectively in an outline format, with…

  18. Currently you have to long press a link, then choose open link from a menu. This is very time consuming, especially if you are using a daily planner template. yes, you can put the app into "view mode" then it will work in single tap. but that is also time consuming. Please give us the open to single tap in the edit mode. You may be saying "but a single tap will appear as though it's the user trying to write with the pen tool". Well, you could do a little gesture recognition and determine if it's a finger or…

  19. Laser pen .....
    Doing rough Work with laser pen on document is good as a part of learning process
    But the only drawback is it gets vanished too soon i suggest Good notes team to atleast increase its disappearing time to 5- 6 seconds instead of existing 1-2 second when apple pencil is lifted up from screen :)

  20. Ability to scroll differently for separate documents! I would love to be able to scroll vertically/ horizontally for different documents. Some documents I prefer vertically and some horizontally, but it's a hassle to have to change the direction everytime.
