  1. Goodnotes 5 has been superb as a notetaking app. Goodnotes 6 is following the path of other apps to add features, change structures and increase file sizes with cosmetic changes that don’t improve efficiency or effectiveness. Microsoft OneNote has many features and much of what Goodnotes 6 offers. The extra features don’t improve navigation or effectiveness and make the app clunky. Rather than have one app that must DO everything, if you want to add features, create two. One that is great for notetaking and one that adds the frills, takes extra space and add “glitter”

    Goodnotes has been superb…

  2. Flashcards Zoom

    There are already a couple of hands full entries to the same subject “Zoom function” with Flashcards.

    Unfortunately each entry has some Thumbs - all together would be many!

    Actually Zoom is really important, is critical because often you can not read their cards because everything is to small.

  3. We can do that by opening an other doc, but it isn’t ergonomic.

    Having the option where you can choose one sheet of the bloc note and stick it to the side would be an improvement.

  4. Can you guys make it possible to edit and adjust the last modified date and time (similar to google photos) for notebooks it would be really helpful with keeping the notes sorted in order of last modified but also being able to make changes on the notes without them getting moved all the way to the start if we don't want them to be this would be an extremely helpful tool for university students especially it would be greatly appreciated if you could add this feature ASAP and also please include this on Goodnotes for Windows which I'm using and…

  5. The new feature that condensed the pen sizes into one button is clunky and adds two clicks to the process, and you have to change your grip to tap the screen with your finger to get rid of the drop down menu. Bring back the three buttons for pen sizes, at least in horizontal view.

  7. There are quite a few preferences, that should be set and/or remembered „per document“ and “not app-wide” because they depend mainly upon the content and style of each notebook. Including:

    • scroll direction

    • auto advance of zoom window

    • last used size of zoom window

    • last used margins of zoom window

    • pen colour presets (we now have a 3rd tab for recently used colours, this should be a “document colour preset” or “recently used in THIS document” instead)

    • last used text style and text box style (and user style presets if we ever get them)

    • filter settings for paper template selection (format…

  8. 画布的缩放大小与画笔的书写效果息息相关。同一个画笔在不同大小的画布上写出来的效果是不一样的,这样导致我每次都要调整画布大小以适应最佳的画笔书写效果。所以非常期待画布缩放大小时能展示数值。这样我就能快速调整画布大小。

  11. I often use a combination of writing utensils and text boxes while taking notes, and it would be nice if there was a way to save more color presets for text. It would save some time while switching between writing and text if I could save the same additional color presets for both. A way to the transfer color presets of one utensil to the other utensils/tools would also be beneficial.

  12. GoodNotes should have a widget option where we can pick a page of a document to be displayed. This would be so nice if we could see our to-do list or any other reminder on our home page.

  14. When a color for a pen/highlighter is selected, show a user entered label for that color for a short duration. It would appear as a tooltip just below the color. Assign a label in the color selection menu. Particularly useful for highlighters to denote term, definition, importance, etc.

  17.     GN6工具栏越来越臃肿,切换颜色时,笔尖需要横移的距离太远,耽误时间,影响使用体验!
       就像“多页签”一样,GN6开发者太过固执:以Notability、Noteshelf为代表的行业内大多数采取的新方案被GN开发者忽视,甚至用户提供的方案也不会快速响应并讨论开发!
       比如,尺子,该票数最高的提案于4~5年前提出,至今才满足票选条件!
    
       而用户想要GN6越来越好的愿望几乎不可实现,现有功能纯粹就是草草对标Notability,但功能细节处理远不及Notability,而开发者还嘴硬说“他们认为这样更好”,可用户实际使用场景下,一切并不像开发者所说那样。
    
       对于一个固执、不求进步、贪图短期利益的app及开发者,Goodnotes系列产品已不值得期待!
       因为GN6根本没有发挥出AI的更多用途且存在隐性限制:每次AI建议的字数有限,不适合长段落文字,而对此,开发者选择沉默不作回应;
      笔划手势无法像Nebo、Notability那样,与文本框、打字机模式联动,彼此之间纯粹靠Apple pencilkit强行支撑。
    
      我想问问开发者,你们开发的产品,自家孩子有用吗?自己有用吗?
      通常连续使用多长时间?有没有超过一节课40min ?
      高强度随课记笔记、画草图、画逻辑框架、作标注,你能遇到那些不太完善的地方?
      如果只是没事写几个字、作作日历规划,Apple备忘录、无边际不香吗?
      事实是,更多用户因为纸笔涂改麻烦、笔记强度高,才不得已选择电子笔记本!
      而,开发者根本没有认识到Goodnotes在高强度使用场景下常遇到的问题亟需优化!

  19. It's great it's now possible to customise the toolbar -- but if you strip it down to only tools you use, it can become very small and is unfortunately centred (so it's less efficient to change tools if you write with one hand and select tools with the other).

    Please remedy this!

  20. frustration regarding the synchronization between devices on your platform. As an iOS user, the current experience is incredibly disappointing. I recently purchased GoodNotes on my iPad, only to find that I cannot use it on my iPhone without making an additional purchase. Furthermore, accessing it on the web seems to require a separate payment.

    This situation has left me bewildered and questioning the company's policies. The impression I get is that users are required to make repeated purchases for the same application across different devices, which is not only inconvenient but also seems financially burdensome. I urge you to address…
