  1. My most used goodnotes notebooks are drastically different page sizes. I often have to switch the font continuously or duplicate an existing text box in the destination notebook in order to have the proper sized font.

  2. Add the ability to create internal links to a specified bookmark rather than just a page number. So that if I add pages in the middle, all my bookmarks don't break.

    Right now if I add pages in the middle all my links change to "deleted page" and I have to rebuild them on every single page.

  3. Let a person who added a lock to a file or notebook at least be able to delete it since only one password is used for everything you lock. Especially if they’re trying to have a medical folder due to their HIPPA rights. I mean seriously I can’t even lock my medical information folder now.

  4. Assign tools to long press — e.g. long press to switch to eraser, release to go back to the previous tool. It’s faster and more reliable than double tap or the current long press toolbar (which isn’t that useful most of the time).

    A lot of students at my uni prefer Notability just for this feature — especially since scribble-to-erase isn't always accurate. also the scribble to erase is sometimes not precise enough or just does'nt work 100% of times so long press really is a deal breaker.

  5. While scribble to erase works with pen, it is not working with pencil. That option should be added.

  6. I would love it if we would be able to have notes on the side of our pages for easier annotating. Whenever I upload a PDF of some sort, I find it difficult to keep all my annotations spaced out on the page, especially with uploaded textbook pages where there is a lot of text and very small margins. Being able to add images and diagrams to the side for note taking would also be great, as sometimes I want to see it as a reference but don't actually want it on my page. The sticky note feature doesn't suit…

  8. Please add this! I love good notes so much but I use an iPad and Samsung phone. I really want to be a digital planner girlie but I don't want to bring my bulky iPad everywhere! I'm so jealous of the iPhone users!

  9. I have huge study sets (hundreds of flashcards). I would love to be able to set a limit for daily flashcards (e.g. 50 / day, similar to Anki), since I find it very demotivating to see a number like 150 flashcards due, especially, after I created new ones.

  11. The new Woodnotes 6 is packed with great functionality. For some people.

    as a user who primarily (99%) writes in my native Swedish language, the experience has actually gotten worse (GN6 interpret my Swedish as wrongfully written English and tries to change it).

    Why do I have to pay extra for a worse product?

    Please offer a version without the language-dependent features for a reduced cost. I have supported GN for a VERY long time, but this makes me feel scammed. Other features that are non-language dependent are making GN6 worth an upgrade, but it's not fair that I have…

  13. Do you know what the most frustrating thing about Goodnotes is? EXPORT TO PDF!!
    When you export to PDF the filename is hidden behind the IPad keyboard!!!
    Can you PLEASE for the love of God fix this? It was there in Goodnotes 5 and it's still there in Goodnotes 6

  14. I am silly and forgot my password, I can still access what I have locked using Touch ID but would really appreciate the ability to reset a forgotten password so I can continue using the feature for other notebooks!

  15. Right now it is only possible to add an entire page to the Custom Outline or create a link to an entire page.

    It would critically enhance productivity if users were able to select some parts of the notebook and add it as a section in the outline, or create a link to a specific section or line of text.

    It should be possible to for instance mark some content such as handwritten text, an image, an Element, a Textbox etc. and either add it to the outline with a customized name, or create a link to some content.

    Personally,…

  16. Hello,
    I have an idea on how to promote Goodnotes 6 more through social media. This would allow us to engage a wider audience of students and their parents. I am a chemical technology engineer and have been tutoring math online for 15 years. I have been using the Goodnotes app for tutoring for several years and have been very satisfied. I have recently started recording short tutorial videos in maths, chemistry and science which I create exclusively in the Goodnotes app6. The videos would be suitable to promote Goodnotes on TikTok or Instagram or Facebook. I think that in…

  17. Please add scribble to erase and lasso to move as options to the pencil. For some reason the pencil seems to write more clearly than the fountain pen even with stroke stabilization, it’s just missing the scribble and lasso. Thanks.

  18. Sometimes you need to know the answer and the Question or the technical Term. It would be helpful being able switching it instead of having to make an extra studyset. You could always switch it back.

  19. I use Goodnotes to create, track and make notes for my guitar practice sessions.

    One of the learning methods proven effective for adult learning is “interleaving”: choosing 2 or more practice objectives and spending a short defined time alternating and/or rotating through each item in a defined time period (eg. 5 minutes per item).

    The ability to attach a timer (appt watch and / or count down) to each item on my practice sheet to set the target time and record ye actual time spent on each item. Displaying the time on the notes page vs in the timer widget…

  20. Audio Transcripts—the power to turn any audio recording directly into text within your note! Capture every detail and never worry about gaps in your knowledge. Copy, paste, and search within time-stamped text, so you always have the info you need! Now available with Notability Plus

    Notability has just released this feature to the market and I think it's very important to have this function for students or lectures.
