  1. When I write something on the picture I pasted, my palm always unintentionally touch the picture and the picture suddenly move. This happens in all devices. So it’s a system problem. Please fix this problem.

  2. Ability to tag an outline page with a colour so that I can make outlines in a document the way one would stick post it notes to the edge of a book. The ability to write a brief summary under the outline label which could be expanded would be incredibly helpful, allowing users to write a brief summary of the page.

  4. Make a note using staedtler S-pen, turn the pen upside down, and use the eraser to move on to the eraser function. However, if you turn the pen upside down again and try to make a note, the eraser function will continue and you will have to press the pen function again every time.

  5. The ability to handwrite or text annotation on a PDF with infinite space for those who do not have very tiny handwriting. Goodnotes uses the margins of the PDF for handwriting. Maybe adding the PDF to a page to allow for more handwriting space.

  6. Please create a subscription plan option for only Apple device support. I don't mind paying a subscription fee, but I don't want to pay $10 for platforms I don't use. Give me a $7 Apple only option like you have a Windows/Android only option.

  7. When searching handwritten notes, the word is highlighted is yellow colour which is visible in white or yellow paper but it is very difficult to clearly see the word on a dark paper. So highlighting it with a lighter colour will be easy to see.

  8. It would be great if the gestures with the pen worked in the enlarged view, in addition to having a few tools in the window that comes out so you don’t have to go all the way up to change the color or the tool.

  9. I think it would be useful to be able to give a title to the recordings in order to have a tidy and organized section of recordings and not to have always to search between recordings to find what you are looking for. I think giving titles to recordings would make life easier and help during the transcription process

  10. I would prefer some Templates in other Languages like German, French etc.
    The most Templates can't be used for foreigners.
    The Cook Book for Example is a good Idea, but it would be better if it ist in different languages.

  11. Similar to the study cards, it would be great if you could implement Research Index Cards to be used during the literature research when writing your Thesis. Ideally the set can be grouped and sorted in a flexible way. I have attached a sample how it could look like.

  13. It would be nice if we could also rearrange flash cards once they’ve been created, instead of having to take the time out to copy the info, duplicate a card in the desired spot, clear the newly duplicated card, and paste/rewrite all the info.

  14. The fact that this hasn't been resolved yet is a bit silly. Moving to a subscription model, adding a bunch of AI no one asked for and then one of your basic tools has been broken since release...

  16. EN: The ability to label/ write flashcards just like regular notes (i.e. picture, pencil and text AT ONCE, not just one of them at a time).
    Post’its and stickers are welcome as well.

    DE: Die Möglichkeit, Karteikarten wie normale Notizen zu beschriften/schreiben (d.h. Bild, Stift und Text AUF EINMAL, nicht nur eines davon).
    Post'its und Aufkleber sind ebenfalls willkommen.

  17. Currently, the lasso tool does not copy or PDFs it only copies,
    self written content on Goodnotes.

    If you could use lasso tool on any kind of import, it would be super easy to dragon and drop and create Study sets.

  18. An option to resize imported PDF pages would help each notebook feel more cohesive, especially for those using vertical scrolling. It would be nice to have a feature that automatically matches the width of each imported page to that of the current template so that all the pages in the document have the same width.

  19. Using Apple or Google or other accounts to login to good notes is a terrible privacy practice. Why would I want to share my good notes data with those companies and why would I want to share my other data with Good Notes. Will not be upgrading so long as v6 requires account login without an email address option.

  20. It would be super helpful if there were a function to pin sticky notes slightly over the edge of the side of documents. I drew a picture for better understanding :)
    This feature could help make ones own notes better visible. Plus: sometimes the borders of documents are to narrow to take detailed notes without opening another document/page.
