  4. I noticed that the device gets really hot when I use Goodnots. I let a diagnositcs tool run and confirmed it.

    The device does not heat up when i use other Apps or watch videos and the brightness is around 30%.

    I would appreciate if this could be fixed.

  5. My iPad has more storage than my iPhone.
    Sometimes I need to have my flashcards on my iPhone, but not the whole library.
    For this reason, I am not able to have iPhone app dowloaded.

    So I have to carry my iPad all the time.

  6. When using Goodnotes in dark mode, the background of the selected items in the toolbar is a slightly lighter color, but it is very difficult to tell which item is selected by just looking at it for a moment, so I would like it to be a brighter color.

  8. TLDR: I would like to have an"Included Folders/File Names" option so I can backup only a small selection of notes.

    I use Auto Backup to access notes from my computer (running Linux). I usually only want to automatically backup some folders and notes so I can reference them, e.g. via Google Drive link, in other note-taking apps, in my case Joplin.

    As of now, there is an Auto Backup option named "Excluded Folders/File Names". But using this is very tedious since I have add practically all my notes to the excluded list.

    @devs please consider adding this feature.

    @fellow_users please…

  10. To set the thickness of the pen/highlighter, the manual line space (when you deactivate "Automatic") etc. you have to move a slider to the left/right.
    Left to the slider is a number showing the current setting. The number updates, when you move the slider or press on the "minus"/"plus" symbol next to it.

    It would be great, if you could add an additional feature, where I can just tap on the number left to the slider and change the value by typing in the desired number.

    This would save a lot of time. Specially when you want to set the…

  12. I am using this application in Japanese.
    Japanese has horizontal writing (top left to right) , like English, etc., and vertical writing (top right to bottom). Currently, it is very difficult to input text in vertical writing mode, so I would like you to add a ruled note for vertical writing. Also, if possible, we would appreciate it if you could add support for input mode.
    Please implement this in the Goodnote Shop, even if it is sold for a fee.

  13. If you were to write in black, and change your mind. Instead of erasing and rewriting in a new color PLEASEE create a feature that can allow you to:

    • choose pre existing text
    • change color to desired new color

  14. I don't like the "rub to erase" spec that erases text even when I want to fill it in, so I downgraded, but even after the downgrade I am fed up with popups urging me to update to Goodnotes 6.

  15. It would be great to be able to depend on only typing sometimes and have the text align along the entire paper and lines of selected paper template as an additional feature to the existing text box

  16. In Goodnotes 6 there are these beautiful folder icons. But they all feel a bit empty. What if it would show the notebooks inside the folder. This could also make it more clear how many notebooks were in that folder.
    For reference: Planny’s categories

  18. I know it’s a new feature, but I’d love to see a wishlist or save option for the shop. Also maybe a shop on the website or off of the app also. Ultimately some way to see and be able to compare certain items before you buy them based on what you are looking for

  19. It would be extremely useful to be able to do things such as paste an image and annotate it when making flash cards. There are many instances where this would be useful, and would also serve as a quality of life improvement for many students like myself, and across a wide range of subjects.
