  1. Please add keyboard shortcut and pencil tap options to switch between edit and read-only. I use my iPad a lot with a keyboard or macro pad, and having a shortcut would make the experience so much better.

  3. When I try to install Goodnotes 6 from the AppStore on MacOS 15.0.1, it fails with the message "Macos 13.3 or later is required". From my point of view, 15 is newer than 13. You may have to extend the compatibility to current versions of MacOS.

  4. Fix the known issue of the same typed notes doesn’t look the same in Goodnotes on iPadOS and MacOS. I need this fixed as I type a lot on both my iPad and Mac, especially I use the bulleted list. Seems like a font rendering issue.

  5. I would like to be able to customise the tools that pop up when i squeeze my Apple Pencil, so that i can switch more quickly between those i need.
    For example, I might want just pen, highlighter and lasso tool.

  6. In dem Schreibmodus sollten die Seiten so miteinander verbunden sein, dass der Text automatisch auf die nächste Seite rutscht, sobald diese voll ist. Gerade bei Ergänzungen wäre es einfacher

  7. Agregar traductor para poder leer un documento y que si me surge duda poder marcar la palabra y que me de la opción de traducción a español.
    Sería de mucha utilidad como otras aplicaciones ya lo tienen.
    Gracias

  8. I love everything about goodnotes EXCEPT that you are lacking this very basic feature. I am high functioning ASD (and the stereotypical sloppy handwriting) and have connective tissue disorders that make my hands hard to control on a regular basis. I thrive with visual data and organization and your app truly is THE BEST - but I always discontinue use of this app very quickly due to the absolute chicken scratch it turns my handwriting into. This is a very real accessibility issue that I am disappointed to see overlooked by a company of your size and acclaim.

  9. Interactive buttons would be wonderful that delete when touched to reveal answers underneath. it would be awesome if some could make noise such as clapping or buzzer sounds to help make lessons more interactive. The sticky notes can be used to reveal but you have to move them and then they do that crazy copy feature and get smaller. it is very annoying and would greatly improve if a double tap or two finger touch could disappear them. Thank you

  12. When you create a new notebook, it only loads with one page, and you have to go in and add new ones individually. Can you please add a feature where you can create a notebook with a preloaded number of pages (eg 100, 200 or custom) so that you don't have to add new ones every time?

  14. It is INCREDIBLY frustrating to REPEATEDLY go through the processes of (1) complete the "Contributing Handwriting" feature multiple times, (2) add Custom Words to the Personal Dictionary, and (3) when a red line appears tapping on the redline then "More" --> "Add to Dictionary" --> then complete the "Add Custom Word" field AND THE RED LINE REMAINS after tapping Save. Please know this REPEATED experience has frustrated me to the point of looking at alternative handwriting recognition apps or go back to keeping a paper journal.
    I'm in a professional occupation where keeping a journal is essential, and repeatedly going…

  15. The current Windows version of GoodNote (my Version# 171116-rc20) surprisingly don't have outlines of the book while they are implemented in Macbook or ipad. I expect this to be a very simple feature request but quite useful for people browsing a book on GoodNote. I hope it could be added on as a new feature.

  18. I often organize, review, and make comments on multiple large documents that I have imported to Goodnotes. The new comments feature is a great addition, but its value is limited for my use because the pages with comments are not flagged in any way, nor am I able to view all comments. I am forced to either bookmark any page with a comment or add those pages to pdf outlines, which is redundant and crowds up the outlines and favorites.

    It would be very useful if all comments in a document could be viewed collectively in an outline format, with…

  19. Please add a setting to move the page to the left/right side of the display while using the editor so you don’t have to put your hand next to the device while writing.

  20. To navigate large textbooks/ pdfs, please add a feature where you can type in the page number and have the app move to that page immediately.
