  1. The ability to turn off the scratch to erase feature. I write in cursive and having my words erased so often made me downgrade back to 5. I also have an issue with my cursive being converted to lines or shapes if I pause mid word

  2. In Goodnotes 6, I would say that the icons design (in menu bar) are more confused. Sometimes I hesitate to click on the good one.
    This is the case for an icon I often use, "zoom window". Speaking of this one, I liked it better when it was on the left of the menu bar, not least because it disappears when I use Goodnotes in split view on my iPad.
    Could you envisage a personal organization of icon placement? With the possibility of removing some of them. (For example, I never use the pointer and could therefore do without it).

  3. Probably after the announcement of Goodnotes 6, it is no longer possible to change the page size in Goodnotes 5. This is very inconvenient and needs to be fixed.

  4. nella modalità scrittura con tastiera, bisogna aggiungere la possibilità di aggiungere anche immagini, creando dei margini automatici che si spostano, e si modellano col testo circostante: bisogna renderla simile ad altre app competitor specializzate solo nella scrittura con tastiera come pages o word. al momento infatti goodnotes dal punto di vista della scrittura a mano libera/ con apple pencil a mio avviso è l'app migliore ma dal punto di vista della scrittura con tastiera c'è ancora strada da fare (al momento ci sono app dedicate: pages, word, ...) che fanno questo lavoro meglio.....

  5. GoodNotes 6 has an annoying quirk: I'll be writing along and suddenly a word will vanish as I write it. IT's not any one word, nor any combination of strokes in particular. I would call it intermittent, but it happens with aggravating regularity. It's only begun since upgrading to 6; I'm writing the same way I did in GoodNotes 5 and it never did this. Am I alone in experiencing this issue?

  6. The new GoodNotes 6 has an annoying habit of erasing random words as I write them. I'd love to send this to your support page, but it seems pretty one-way. There's no one word that erases, no set pattern that causes it. I didn't have this problem with the identical useage in GoodNotes 5.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  13. It’d be really nice if we had the option to move one Audio clip from one journal to another, I know we can import an existing .Goodnotes file with audio into a journal, but it would be nice to be able to just move the audio itself, and none of the pages.

    or copy and move that audio file from one journal to another. Sometimes when learning complex processes that relate to each other but are in separate classes, it’s nice to have the audio clip that references from another subject next to the second subject in the same journal…

  14. 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…

    For easier referencing and reading important - highlighted information.

  16. 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…

  18. 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.

  19. 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

  20. 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.
