    There is an option to adjust the line spacing in the Movable Text, But setting the position of the line is not possible .
    Currently, the letters are located at the bottom of the Movable Text.

    Please modify the function !!

  3. Add an option to remember drawing line of pen and highlight pen for each document at the same working session when opening many documents at once.

    (I open many 3 documents on a woking session, however, I use different drawing lines for each document, Goodnotes cannot keep the setting for pen and highlight pen)

  4. I am a student who prefers using a black background with white ink as it is easier on my eyes. However, this makes it very difficult to print my notes. It would be great to have a feature to invert the colours when printing (from black to white background and white to black words). It would also be great to be able to have a feature where we can change backgrounds of all the pages at once.

  6. The Flashcards of GoodNotes 5 have now been removed in GoodNotes 6 and replaced with Study Sets, but Flashcards have a lot of advantages compared to Study Sets:
    1 . You can have an overview of Flashcards in thumbnails while seeing both the question and the answer (in Study Sets you only see the question). This helps with studying and having an overview of the set to see if it is done correctly.
    2. The questions and answers are easier and quicker to create in Flashcards by writing and cutting and pasting as fewer steps are needed as the flashcard…

  8. After the dotted lines update the view of which 3 brushes you currently are using changed. Earlier the size of the brushes was shown more respectively to the size of the others. Now that the size is shown more accurately I can’t distinguish the sizes anymore, because it’s only 2mm. In writhing a big difference but in the tab not anymore.

  9. iOS apps normally update automatically as they become available. For some reason GoodNotes does not do this and the user either a) discovers that notes no longer sync across devices and/or b) discover app needs update by digging into the "About" panel. Normally iOS app updates are minimally impactful but I have now seen GoodNote cloud sync break twice and require manual intervention by user to discover the issue and manually update, I would like to suggest that Goodnotes adopts the process of most all other iOS apps and automatically update in background to minimize user impact.

  10. I've seen posts asking for a version history function, presumably something similar to what google docs has.

    However, I would like to suggest an edit history function, where I get to see how exactly my document was built/written from the first stroke/text/picture to the last, like that of a timelapse. This would help a variety of users, such as people trying to build a mind map, where they would be able to not just visualize their thoughts, but also visualize the flow of their thoughts. This would also help students in seeing where their last annotation was or when any…

  11. When reading a lot of texts, sometimes it is easier to switch to the option to let the text be read to be. The voice used by GoodNotes though is really really bad making it hard to focus on what is actually said.
    Instead it would be great if you could add the option to let Siri read the text since it sounds rather natural in contrast to the GoodNotes voice.

    Please!

  12. Die linealfunktion hat mich sehr gefreut, da man im matheunterricht immer wieder Winkel messen muss etc. Dennoch hab ich festgestellt, dass das Maßstab des Lineals mit keinem papierformat übereinstimmt, weder mit goodnotes Standard, noch mit dinA4. Mein Wunsch wäre es, das Lineal so anzupassen, dass 2 Kästchen auf dem a4 Blatt auch einem cm auf dem Lineal entsprechen

  13. Use GoodNotes as a Tool to directly make notes on pdfs.
    Safe them to the Apple Folders without opening them in Goodnotes itself.

  14. Ability to read/speak pdfs, notes, etc. similar to other text-to-speech apps (with non-robotic voices). As a college student that takes in auditory information better than reading myself it would be very handy to be able to have papers i upload into goodnotes be read.

  15. On travaille beaucoup avec des formes géométriques, et avoir par exemple le centre du cercle, carrée, etc.., des flèches ou angles, serait bien.

    Les dossiers ne peuvent pas être ranger comme on le souhaite, c’est dommage.

  16. I use Goodnotes 6 for medical school as my only notes taking application. often I will write up notes which I come back to add to it but don't have space. It would be nice if I could add handwritten links to other places within the document or "sticky notes" that I could stick on the sides of the documents (Black/blank space of the page). Save me spending ages having to rearrange everything. Thank you

  18. Could Goodnotes possibly incorporate the ability to add chart interactions? For example, for individuals who keep extensive logs or check lists, having the ability to select a check mark or fill in an incremental bar that could impact a graph, table, or value would allow for more seamless tracking abilities.

  19. It’s so difficult to navigate that text box. I wish goodnotes automatically changed your writing to text without the text box! I can’t emphasize this enough on how difficult it can be to wanting to use the scribble feature but having to navigate the little box and wanting to write multiple paragraphs but stuck with having to adjust it multiple times.

  20. It should be possible with one click from anywhere in the document view to get back to currently open tabs. Currently the only way to do this is to open another notebook via one direction or another. Why not have an option to “close” the document view and bring up the open notebooks?
