  2. I am a masters student who uses good notes to read and highlight all my articles. I think that adding a reference managing option, to keep all my notes, articles highlights and references will have a lot of value, especially when working on projects such as thesis or dissertation, where there are a lot of articles to read and manage. It will be great to manage my references in the same place

  3. Hello, I recently upgraded to GoodNotes 6 and encountered several usability regressions that are severely impacting my workflow. I would like to request clarification and support regarding the issues below.

    Issues
    1. The Text Box tool automatically switches back to the Lasso tool after one use.
    When inserting multiple text boxes consecutively, I must manually reselect the Text Box tool every time. This significantly disrupts productivity.
    2. Bulk font editing using the Lasso tool is no longer available.
    In previous versions, selecting multiple text items and changing their font at once was possible. This feature was essential for efficient editing,…

  4. The blue main menu at the top is quite disturbing. Please make it possible to hide it or change color to white/black depending on system light mode.

  5. Wenn man den Tool für Text einfügen benutzt und irgendwo einen Text macht dann muss man immer wieder erneut auf das t
    Tool drücken um wieder ein Textbalken zu platzieren früher blieb man in dem Modus.
    also am besten wie vor dem Update im Modus Text einfügen bleiben und nicht automatisch wieder zurückstellen.

  7. Hello Goodnotes team and community,

    I am a regular user of Goodnotes and love the flexibility of the note-taking feature. I would like to propose an important improvement to the Handwriting to Text feature.

    Current Issue:
    Currently, when I convert a piece of handwriting, the resulting text appears in a pop-up dialog. If I need to correct a minor typo or add a period/comma, I have to: block blast

    Copy the corrected text.

    Paste it into the note page.

    Delete the original handwriting.

    This process is very time-consuming and disrupts the flow of notes.

  8. When scrolling to add a new page it auto jumps to the bottom of the new page. Instead it should stay at the top of the new page as this is where you will be writing next

  9. When switching tabs on at least iPadOS good notes slightly scrolls up every time you switch tabs rather than just staying at the location prior to tab switch

  10. I love the possibility for bulleted and numbered lists, but would love more options like stars or smaller dots or squares. just more customisation in the text documents. like being able to change background colour maybe.

  11. 기본 펜을 볼펜으로 사용하는데 앱 나갔다 들어올 때마다 볼펜으로 설정해놨던 거를 기억 못해서 매번 바꾸는 게 너무 번거로워요. 빠른 피드백 부탁드립니다. 업데이트 전에는 안 이랬어요

  12. FREE ROTATE ON PAGES!!!!

    Moving the physical iPad from side to side is NOT efficient. Being able to freely rotate a page to write at an angle would be SO much more helpful, when taking notes, doodling, or simply to look at the notes from a different angle.... I really would love to see this implimented as this is the biggest flaw goodnotes has as a program!

  13. Geodreieck:
    Wie viele andere Nutzer Wünsche auch ich mir ein Geodreieck. Dazu möchte ich, dass die Kästchen bei der karierten Vorlage angepasst werden(1Kästchen=0,5cm).
    Text:
    Das neue Update hat das Tippen auf der ganzen Seite verkompliziert.
    Vorher waren Tippen und Tippen auf der ganzen Seite getrennt, jetzt muss man immer lange gedrückt halten, damit man auf der ganzen Seite tippen kann.

  14. Eigene Schriftarten sollten wieder als Stanard festlegbar sein & andere Schriftarten schneller erreichbar sein, damit man zwischen diesen schnell hin und her springen kann. So wie es eben vorher war.

  15. When I'm looking for specific notes, I typically use the search tool to find a particular word or topic. However, most of my notes consist of photos from the textbook and written notes; the search bar, unfortunately, never finds words that are in photos and only works with handwritten notes. I would love for the search bar to improve and search for words on images and handwritten notes.

  16. Hand drawing could be improved massively with a horizontal and vertical mirroring tool. Technical and scheme drawing would be much cleaner and faster.

  18. Been a subscriber on goodnotes for almost two years and I only used milanotes for whiteboards, however the difference is huge and making it hard for me to switch completely

    Im not asking for all milanotes features (but hey id love that), but just make it less bland and nore pleasing to the eyes. being able to center the text like we want, shadows on sticky notes, color background features and overall just making it more pleasing to the eye and more freedom to custom our board like in milanote

  19. Please re-enable macOS inline suggestions (math auto-calculation when typing 1+1=). This feature works in all native macOS apps and greatly improves typing. it would be extremely helpful to add a macOS-native text mode or option to re-enable inline suggestions

  20. We have discovered that dashed lines export as solid lines when exporting to PDF - this is very unhelpful. Please resolve ASAP!
