  1. I think the current GN6 toolbar, status bar area takes up a bit too much space, especially in landscape mode. It almost feels like 1/5 of the screen is gone.

    An alternative workaround in GN5 was not using tabs, this saved up a good chunk of space. I am unable to find such an option on GN6.

    I say this in comparison to other competitor apps which have a much smaller toolbar area where the emphasis is on the paper/notebook itself, and not the app around it.

    I think this option would really benefit a lot of people.

  2. While editing in Study Sets, there should be an option for the toolbar placement, instead of being locked in to the toolbar being placed on the top.

  3. When selecting objects written with pen or highlighter by using the lasso tool, add an option to the lasso tool which allows you to create internal and external links just like we can currently do with text!

  4. When you have folders within other folders to better organize notes, it becomes incredibly tedious to have to backtrack through previous folders to get to different ones. It would be much quicker if there was a sidebar that displayed the different folders so that its more seamless to navigate between folders/documents.

  6. The study set is a very nice feature, but it is not fully functional yet. One of the requests regarding the study set is the ability to display cards in a tiled or list format. If pairs of cards were lined up on the left and right, as in the image, and could be shown and hidden with a tap, it would greatly increase the efficiency of learning.

  7. Vielen lieben Dank für die tollen Lernkarten. Für die Erlernung der Gebärdensprache wäre es total wichtig, dass man nicht nur Bilder sondern auch Videos hochladen könnte.

  9. I draw lots of diagrams. The scribble-to-delete accidentally deletes my diagrams.
    Give us an option to turn it off.

  12. There is a move function to add docs into another doc, but it can only move one at a time, I often get lots of docs for reading in my classes and then import them into my notebook for the class to keep a record, If I were able to move multiple documents at once this process would be a lot quicker

  15. I would appreciate the option to have a maths keyboard on the app. iOS doesn’t have an option to allow me to use key maths symbols which I need for my revision, I am drawing them myself & then manually copying/pasting them whenever needed. Having options to quickly select symbols like ‘sum of’, integral, alpha, beta, delta, pi (etc), would be very convenient and widely used.

  18. Good day,

    I come to you absolutely begging to please release goodnotes for android cellphones!

    Us android users are suffering with apps that do not match the power of goodnotes!

    I have goodnotes on my iPad and I absolutely love using it , however I don't take my iPad everywhere and would much prefer if it was available on my Samsung cellphone.
    I know that goodnotes is available for selected Samsung tablets, but I would really prefer to stick to my iPad and my Samsung cell phone.

    Please help us android users out!

  19. I noticed that in the paragraph settings, one can only have three options of organizing it (center text-align; right or left text-align) and I’d want to know the possibility of adding the “justified text-align”, because this is actually really important for university assignments.

    I’m adding screenshots of how this function appears to me, and the question/suggestion I have.

  20. a system that can identify the headlines of a slide. Then generates the first page of the index card with the headline and the back side of the index card consits of the whole slide.
    The costumer can still change things , if needed.
