  2. Minimum and Maximum size of the pencil and adaptive size when zooming from very close to far away.

    This would help to have more consisten sizes when workinh on big mind maps.

  4. Its like the highlights app. It would be best if what i highlighted will automatically be inserted into a file that will serve as my notes wherein i don't have to type anymore and that i can then export it as a pdf file

  5. While writing, my palm touches the screen and most often the "Zoom | Add comment" option pops up. I've already set up the palm detection, it still doesn't work.

    It makes the app completely unusable!

    I need a setting to deactivate this option!

  6. Pencil settings like Color and thickness should be synced between all devices using the same GoodNotes account. So you can use the same Color for highlighters across all devices.

  7. Remettre le bouton pour écrire du texte (au lieu de appui prolongé -> commencer à saisir, remettre le bouton qui permet de directement commencer à saisir)
    Ce serait un gain de temps énorme lors de la prise de note en cours, rédaction, etc

  8. As a student I very much miss some options for the study set feature:

    For example needed are features like…

    • overviewing ALL of the study sets
    • Moving cards from one study set to another/putting sets together
    • Changing layouts for flashcards
    • Import study sets in bulk from e.g. CSV files
    • Plan when which study set should be learned
    • Use tags in study sets and filter for them

    • Choose which study sets are currently interesting and a „pause“ function

  9. When taking handwritten notes or when reading a document, I will highlight important parts that I would like to come back to in the future. It would be very beneficial if there was an option to view all highlights in a document kind of like how when reading on a Kindle you can highlight quotes and then go back and review those quotes. This would make looking for specific information much more user-friendly.

  10. The current version only provides iCloud synchronization function, but after synchronization, the storage space on the device cannot be released like iCloud file management.

    It is recommended to add the function of releasing hard disk space after cloud synchronization is completed.

  12. Please create gestures for SHIFT, TAB, RETURN and CAPS LOCK for Apple Pencil in Scribble mode when using textbox.

    If one is trying to keep notes neat by using textbox instead of pen, this system becomes very clunky. If you want to abbreviate, make a list or write notes in an organized fashion on the fly, like in class lectures for instance, you have to use Apple Pencil with assistance from either an external hardware keyboard or the touch screen keyboard. It slows everything down. I sometimes miss valuable information fiddling around with these keyboards.

    I’ve tried using handwriting conversion…

  13. Can you please expand the intelligent GoodNotes 6 AI handwriting Tools with additional tools, showed at Apples WWDC 24 in the Notes App (SmartScript). I would like to see these features in GoodNotes, such as:

    1. My favourite feature: An in GoodNotes integrated AI Model that automatically improves your hand writing style in your personal writing style, as you write with Apple Pencil in GoodNotes.

    2. Also very important for me: An AI Feature that can transform your typed text into your handwritten Notes in your own writing style, if you paste the typed text in GoodNotes.

    3. An feature that enables the…

  14. If you like to use the lasso tool to move - let‘s say - only textboxes, then you have to deselect all other categories manually. When you are done moving textboxes, then you want to select every category, then you have to manually turn on everything.

    It would be great, if you can turn on/off all the categories. There should be a box called „all“ on top of all categories.

  15. I wish the font menu could stay open as you preview your text or text box in various fonts, and also remember your place in the font list instead of going back to top of the custom fonts menu each time.

    Currently, the process goes as follows: select the box or the text > open the fonts menu > go to custom fonts > choose a font > font menu closes and you see what your text looks like in the selected font.

    Next, reopen the fonts menu > go to custom fonts > scroll back through the custom fonts…

  16. We should have a way were we can pin folders/documents to our home pages. I don't mean favorites, favorites doesn't work because it shows all the favorited items within documents. But I wanna be able to pin folders/documents to my home page. Also being able to pin documents within folders would be nice.

  17. With the current iPad update (Liquid glass), it makes the split screen feature FAR more volatile (closes with hand touches when writing) and reduces space available to write in (as the middle part now takes up more). It also feels very visually unpleasing, as it doesn't fill up all corners..

    It would be nice if there were an inapp version to split documents that optimizes space. It would be even NICER if we could have the main toolbar stretch along the two documents.

  19. I use different colors and sizes to signify different things in my notes (ex. disease name, symptoms, risk factors, pathological findings...). I would like the option to have more presets in the toolbar rather than having to keep changing the presets because I have used all of the available ones already.

  20. I am an iPad user and frequently work with GoodNotes using an external mouse.

    However, I noticed that several tools in the app are not fully supported when using a mouse. In particular, the highlighter tool cannot be used properly with mouse input, which significantly limits productivity for users who prefer or rely on this type of interaction.

    I would like to suggest the implementation of full mouse support for the highlighter tool and other drawing features. Adding this functionality would greatly enhance the user experience and make GoodNotes even more versatile for those using the app in desktop-like workflows.
