  1. You should be able to draw on study sets. For example I am using a picture as my question for the study set, but want to highlight/mark or even point to a specific part of the picture. This change would have lots of applications

  4. In the current version of GoodNotes 6, after displaying multiple masking tapes for memorization purposes, each one needs to be tapped individually to hide them, which is quite tedious. Therefore, I believe there is a need for a button that can hide all displayed masking tapes at once.

    原文(Japanese):
    現在のgoodnotes6では、複数のマスキングテープを表示して暗記に使った後、毎回それぞれをタップして非表示にする必要があります。これは、かなり面倒です。従って、表示したマスキングテープを一括に隠せるボタンを作る必要があると考えます。

  5. Hi, I feel like this should be relatively easy to implement since we already have the audio recording option. But I would like the option to also upload an mp3 and take notes alongside it. If you are like me sometimes you will have to miss lectures for meetings and other projects. It would be awesome if I could upload the lecture audio mp3 and take notes with it instead of having to rerecord it through my ipad microphone.

  6. With the new apple pencil pro, integrate the option to squeeze to erase and then when you stop, it goes back to your previous tool. I believe this is a new feature in notability.

  12. If you have several custom color swatches set up like I do, scrolling back to the front of your swatches to get to stroke settings to change the style and thickness multiple times over (especially in portrait mode) can be tedious. Heck, even saying that out loud sounds tedious.

    My suggestion is to separate these settings from the color swatch menu and make them have their own editable section on the toolbar. This will keep them easily accessible while still being able to scroll through swatches independently.

    As an extra, I’d also love to be able to make more than…

  14. After the latest software update on Goodnote6, the circular alarm keeps spinning around the 'pencil' feature when taking notes. This is a distraction for me. Please add the ability to turn these features on or off to user's liking. Thank you.

  16. Would it be possible to add an option in the near future to save the automatic backup not only to different cloud services, but also locally, for example to Apple files?

  17. It would be very helpful to have more possibilities to customize an format typed text. The current way of typing text does work but notes often look bulky and there is no good way to change it.

    Something like Markdown, more bullet point levels, "fit text to lines"... would make hybrid hand-written and typed notes much easier.

  18. It would be very helpful if the audio recordings had an option that used iOS/iPadOS/macOS voice isolation to isolate the speaker for recording lectures.

  20. In the typing mode, it would be convenient to be able to manually change the font and font size, instead of using the "Header 1, Header 2,...etc.," options like how it is for the text box option in the writing mode.
