  1. As a student, I often have my uni books in epub format and it would be great to have the possibility to modify/annotate them as we alreadu can with pdf. I know you can convert EPUb to PDF easily, but it doesnt always come out right, so EPUB support would be easier and more comfortable

  3. I use Windows at work and iOS at home. I would like Goodnotes to sync between both devices WITH the ability to PASSWORD protect personal files independently from work files. Similarly to how GOogle drive has My Drive and Shared Drive. that way I can keep work separate from Personal

  4. Because I use an external SSD as the startup disk on my Mac mini, it seems that GoodNotes 6 is unable to enable iCloud sync in this situation.

  5. Instead of making my subscription payment through my iPad, I want to be able to make it through my laptop and have the payment for the subscription on my iPad.

  6. ■Strongly desire to support left-opening of PDFs.

    Japanese books open on the left.
    In order to open a PDF of that book, it needs to move horizontally and open left.
    Also, I would like to be able to choose between “one page appears independently” or “the previous and next pages appear continuously”.

  9. The system can already read your handwriting, so the ability to have the app code this writing to determine a Date and Time for a reminder would be amazing. Whether that be for an In-App reminders section which also pings on your phone and on top of the screen like "In your face"(APP) would be amazing.

    It would be brilliant if the app could automatically set a reminder in your default reminder software.

    As others have mentioned, this app is used for notes, diary and everything that people usually write down - so make it a super-app with the reminders…

  10. If you write with a pen or type text and choose an object with a classo tool and enlarge it, the letters will be enlarged completely, such as 100%, 150%, and 200%. For example, I wrote in the size of a 0.8mm thick and thick pen, but I zoomed in and reduced it to the classo tool because I think there was not enough space to write or the letters were too small. However, when I zoomed in/enlarged, the result displayed appears as if it were 0.2mm/2.00mm thick. I would like to add a function that can be modified to…

  11. If there is text in the photo or there is an equation, it would be nice to add a function to convert it into a text in the form of a good note or an equation function, as if adding text or entering an equation from a good note. (Transform text and equation in the photo directly into text and equation objects.)

  13. When exporting in good note or PDF file format, I hope to add a password function that allows only those who know the password to open the file.

  14. It would be nice to add a (PDF edit) function that can be modified if there is a typo or incorrect text within the PDF file, or if it contains unnecessary content or unnecessary attaches.

  15. As a college student, I have access to the slides to my classes but there are no spaces on the side to write my own notes. It would be cool if there was a feature to add that on the side of my documents.

    It would be similar to the image but rather a whole added side to the document just like adding another page but on the right of the page/document.

  16. The experimental math conversion tool for Goodnotes6 is fairly good. It can convert most of 1-liner math handwriting satisfactory!
    However, it seems that the color of produced math formula is black only and can't be changed.
    Please make it possible to change color of the produced formulas, like other objects such as lines and typed texts. Assuming LaTeX as the conversion backend, it shouldn't be very difficult to make it by inserting a preamble \color{colorname} just before the math script.

  17. Similar to MS paint it would be useful to have a paint bucket tool that would fill a color inside the lines of a shape. Most of the functionality is already added with the shape fill color option, but for drawings that dont use it there is no efficient way to fill the space.

  18. The new typing mode in GN6 has significantly enhanced its versatility. It would be even better if a highlight tool could be added to the typing mode, allowing users to directly apply highlights to text while typing.

  20. If I create a note using the squared paper, positioning text (in text boxes), export that as a flattened PDF, import it as a template and use it, the typed text area no longer correctly aligns.

    It's weird, it's not starting the typed text box in the same place on the template as it is on the squared paper template, and the text seems to have a larger size or more of a gap between lines as it starts to creep line by line down the page (see example below).
    Should be a (super-)quick fix?
