  1. When we study, the article occupies too little of the whole screen, about 3/16 are occupied by the menu bar, which very much affects the attention of reading, and at the same time in the aesthetic design point of view is also lacking. Suggest to give a movable, automatically shrinking In the process of reading and learning to try not to notice the existence of the menu, for example, the menu will be designed as apple note can be minimised in the same way, but need to be commonly used functions will be displayed, such as eraser, pen, fast page…

  2. In modalità tastiera non si può fare granché se non scrivere ma solo con pochi stili e tipi di formattazione possibili. Si dovrebbe rendere più libera la possibilità di scegliere i tipi di caratteri

  3. I would like to have the option to easily switch between my dark template and close-to white font and a lighter background with a darker font.
    Could be integrated into the template side. Eg contrast colors.
    Or just with the shift from light to dark mode.

    → it is really hard to search for words in my texts while having a dark template. There just isn’t enough contrast to show me the highlighted words; thus, I always have to change template and color…

  4. It would be amazing to be able to group colors together (i.e., like how we can do folders for notebooks to be able to do something similar with the colors. Like if I had all my neutrals colors in a folder, my greens, blues, etc.) for example in the screenshot I have to scroll to see all my colors, I would like to be able to "collapse" them or put them in a folder.
    Also to be able to export & import colors without having to add them individually.

  5. It takes time to navigate through goodnotes. I much prefer a side menu bar like in onenote. With goodnotes 6 i hoped for this feature, but it is limited. I would love to maneuver easily through my notes, instead of manually clicking myself through my notebooks back and forth…
    Thank you!

  7. When reviewing our study sets, it should be possible to decide the number of Q-cards we wish to review from all the study sets we've generated in a single session. For instance, if I have a study set with 90 Q-cards, but I prefer to be quizzed on the initial 30 Q-cards exclusively, I should be able to pick those 30 Q-cards and focus solely on them. This approach allows us to study in segments, and when we feel prepared, we can then test ourselves on all 90 Q-cards.

  8. I recently paid to upgrade to Goodnotes 6 as I really like the app and use it every day for work and teaching. However, I have been unable to use the app in the last two weeks as it claims (iPad only) that I am on the freemium service. I have followed all the instructions on the help page and while my MacBook agrees I have the premium service my iPad resolutely disagrees. The help page note does not make it clear if this issue is the same as that currently being fixed, nor does it give a timeline nor…

  9. Me gustaría que la app tuviera la opción de seleccionar un texto y ponerlo en mayúsculas o en minúsculas (como word o canvas). Porque muchas veces me ha pasado que quiero escribir algo en mayúsculas y olvido ponerla en el teclado y debo borrar y escribir nuevamente pero en mayúsculas
    Pd:Me encanta la app.

  10. Allow to recognize all the languages added. I usually combine Spanish and English notes in the same page. I can configure only one language by page.

  11. There must be an evolution in terms of sound recording. I hope you put an accelerator, and I also want it to press the note that I wrote and get me to the note instead of searching for the exact time in which the note was written.

  12. Imagine having a 'Recall/Study Mode' where you can use a specialized tool to highlight text, and once highlighted, the text vanishes, leaving a blank space in its stead. When you click on that blank space, the hidden word reappears, and clicking it again conceals the word once more. Essentially, it transforms into a mini flashcard or fill-in-the-blank feature!

  13. So when typing on the iPad in the in-line page type mode the shortcuts will randomly trigger, jerking you out from typing and to inserting an image or sticker. So I propose either disabling shortcuts when in typing mode or just give us the option to disable keyboard shortcuts all together. I’ve been typing up some documents in the new version and this problem has been annoying me a lot and I haven’t even gotten thru a single paragraph without being interupted.

  14. We NEED to be able to star certain flashcards in the study set then go back to the starred terms. The "Smart Learn" function is not good enough.

  15. Enable the ability to mirror text, figures and pictures, perhaps add it to the lasso tool. As a chemistry student, it would become so much easier to draw isomer molecules.

  16. The ONE major thing OneNote has over Goodnotes is that the workspace acts more like a desktop where you have the document you are reading, and the notepad NEXT TO IT where you are taking notes. Yes, I can open a second window in Goodnotes (which is awesome), BUT I want the notes next to the text. All you’d have to do programmatically is place the PDF document in a wider container. This has been a major frustration for me as a Masters/PhD student forever. I can’t be the only one who wants this feature.

  17. I would like to set my predefinitions for the text box, it’s really inconvenient to find the color that i want every time in the personalised section. I’m accustomed to my predefinitions for the pincel tool, so I would like to maintain the same ones for the text box.

  19. Since GN6, the pen size has been looped in with colors, and it would be great if this had its drop-down menu to change the size of your pen. Also, I switch between colors and pen sizes A LOT, and swiping between them has become my biggest pet peeve with the app. Also, if there was a drop-down menu, could we add more than three preset pen sizes?
