  1. The andriod version has so few features compared to the IOS. It's quite a disservice to andriod users who dislike apple ios. Please work on the andriod version tot be up to par with the ios!!

  2. As Goodnotes 6 already have Tape funtion, but I assume, the “Toggle” funtion as provided in Notion app would do wonders, esp for students, or anyone and everyone who uses Goodnotes for Notes taking and Revising the same.

  4. It could be great if the study set cards could be more customizable so you could add text and a photo and don't have to choose between them.

    In addition to this, it could be great if the app could be made controller compatible so you can link a controller to scroll through the cards.

  5. I like the spell-checking and automatic math features in Goodnotes, but I find it jarring to look at text in my own handwriting next to text in the built-in "handwriting" font. I think it would be really cool to make it so when you autofill an equation or use the spell-check feature it maintains the style of your handwriting instead of using a stock handwriting.

  7. For a math conversion tool, it's essential that Goodnotes should be able to recognize every mathematical or science symbol/sign. Simple symbols like the mathematical “therefore” symbol, ∴ , can't be recognized, making writing and converting one's math's notes a challenge especially in academic writing. Now I realize there are a lot of symbols out there, but one way to go about it is to take a look at the comprehensive lists at ctan.org. They have comprehensive list of every LaTeX symbol, which pretty much equates to every math symbol that can be indentified for conversion. I've attached one such file.…

  8. Students often struggle with professors’ PDF slides featuring unusual or difficult color combinations. A practical solution to this issue would be introducing a new feature in GoodNotes: the ability to convert documents into black-and-white mode, enhancing readability and usability.

  9. I loved getting a satisfying ding when using Microsoft Suite’s to do list and ticking off a task. It would be great if we could add a sound when inserting stickers for the same gratification. Even if this were just made possible through ‘Shortcuts’ on the iPad, so we could add a sound. That would increase my motivation.

  10. Instead of having to drag past the edge for adding a new page, it would be nice if Goodnotes had an option to always add an empty page at the end, similar to how Notability does it. This would be particularly useful for vertical page, since writing at the bottom edge of the screen is ergonomically difficult.

  11. Ask goodnotes is a good thing but needs some pretty obvious, low hanging improvements to be really usable.
    When you select "translate" from the quick actions in "Ask goodnotes" you need to enter the language every time! This is incredibly annoying. Obviously it needs to remember your selection.
    In addition, the language defaults to the language of the text, which is, in gentle terms, less than intelligent. Make it default to English or to the system's language....

  12. The space that the current toolbar takes on smaller ipads very large, designing a option to toggle the toolbar into a small movable window like in notability would drastically improve the space for smaller devices.
    I have been thinking of switching over for this exact reason but would like to see if this could be implemented first.
    Thank you.

  14. I am a heavy goodnotes user, I have noticed that when my notes become complex the app starts to lag/bug/stutter to the point where my handwriting changes (as if the app is drawing straight lines between points that are noticeably further away from each other). By complex files, I don't mean long documents but rather supercharged single-page documents (for cheat sheets for example)

    edit: I am using an M series iPad Pro

  15. I am required to download maps and images into Goodnotes for work and highlight and markup on these files.
    I find it extremely difficult to spot colours on an already colourful document. Is there a a tool or setting that could allow the user to change files from colour to greyscale?
    There are a few long ways to do this with desktops but I only carry an iPad with me. So unless I have a premium Adobe subscription I am stuck.
    I understand my issue may be unique but I’m sure the ‘convert to greyscale’ tool could come in handy…

  16. 複数ページのpdfデータを取り込むと、表示が不安定になります。
    書き込み中のページが突然別ページの表示に変わり切り替えができません。
    ページ数が増すと計算処理が追いつかないのかな?

  17. Lets say that I highlight some text or underline some text or handwrite something in a text box. If i move the location of the text box or make some changes in the text box, the text moves, but the highlights or handwritten text does not change accordingly. This seriously lowers the ability to work with the text box.

    I guess i can use the Lasso tool to move the text box around, but i still cannot edit the text within the text box without disturbing the highlights or underlines.

  19. It would be great to integrate an image-generating tool into GoodNotes 6, like shown in the picture. For Example, this feature would allow students to express their ideas more creatively by generating unique images that complement their written content. It would be also great for presenting their written things in class with matching pictures to the topic.
