  1. Similar to the apple and google touch and hold on an image to isolate it from a picture and then copy and paste it to your GoodNotes page, the lasso tool also lasso’s parts of the background, I would love the ability to touch and hold an image and be able to grab it from a page copy and paste it or create an element sticker with it to use later. As it is now I have to open my photos and utilize this feature. There are times I have inserted a shape or text and the lasso tool doesn’t…

  2. As I have my problems with handwriting one straight line from left to right, one solution might be automatic straightening.
    One problem here could be that text that is actually set lower or higher is also set to the same height.

    Another solution would perhaps be a mode in which temporary help lines appear under the handwriting to show you where you should continue writing.
    This would also be good for line breaks.
    It would be great if you could also set the line spacing yourself.

  3. OCR cannot dittect other languages hand writting correctly.

    but an app called "CamScanner" has a filter called "Magic" it makes any photo and process it to look like scanned file. it removes unwanted reflection, shadow and make all the white areas total white. makes all the black text total black, alsocorrects other colors.

    to match the goodnotes white background i use "camscanner" to proccess photo, then saves it, then imports it.

    if Goodnotes has that filter, ican just click photo and apply the filter. it will save me a lot of time

  5. Currently in Goodnotes 6, when importing a document, the default location seems to always be the main document folder. In goodnotes 5, the default import location would be whatever folder we’re opened in or created at the time.

    I would like that back because I think sometimes when we’re in a hurry, we would import PDF as new documents and because the default location is the main documents folder… we would have to go back back back to the main folder and move the files to our intended folder. Which is a huge waste of time.

  8. Whether it be my handwriting, a sticker, picture or whatever i want to add link directly to them and also linking other pages of the same notebook or some other notebook so by tapping once I’m seamlessly taken to that page. Might help in making indexes

  9. I used a Mac version of Goodnotes. It'd be great if the crosshair/ pointer is customisable, or even just give us more shapes and sizes to choose from. Personally I dislike the 4 lines crosshair and I think a simple dot would make for better precision and accuracy.

  10. As a teacher, I use GoodNotes on the board by mirroring the app on the display. It would be great if I could directly display a timer for the remaining editing time for my students in GoodNotes. While the split-screen solution with the clock app works, I would prefer a small timer within GoodNotes itself.

  11. I can’t use the scribble option in swedish. If I want to write “Hej” it only writes “He” and so on. If adding a new language is not an option please let the scribble be non-restricted

  12. Simply put, the ability to select ANY component of ANY handwritten or computer-drawn element/image/stroke, and have the ability to manipulate it in ANY way. Stretching, mirroring, resizing, ANYthing. =)

  13. When using the lasso (selection) tool, let the pens that have haptic feedback features (e.g: Apple Pencil pro) to vibrate, and a setting to turn this off in the pencil customisation settings

  16. It would be amazing if we could get an Update in Goodnotes 6 with an AI Copilot that outlines the most important informations of a page (also the handwritten) on the side to make them easier to learn. Please also integrate an connection to this AI with the vocabularies, to generate them automatically from the note page.

  18. Would love to be able to retire cards, move cards to a new study set, search study sets, and have a better organizing system for the cards (including a way to zoom into cards while in study mode).

  19. The latest update has been quite frustrating. The tape no longer straightens as it did before, and this change is really messing with my workflow.
    When I pull the masking tape, it ends up at an angle and changes the size, which is inconvenient. I would like to be able to pull the tape straight instead of diagonally.

  20. One of the biggest drawbacks of the app is that my notebooks and folders are only able to be sorted alphabetically, by type, or by when I used them. This makes for a very unintuitive interface, as the order of documents often makes no sense. I think it would be relatively easy to add the option to just drag and drop folders/notebooks the way you would move apps on a home screen.
