  1. Be able to export pages with handwritten text from a notebook as seachable PDF, so including the (already existing) OCR-layer. So my exported PDFs become seachable, too.

  2. Please add bidirectional links. I use Obsidian as a Personal knowledge management (PKM) vault and love its bidirectional links and Knowledge Graph view. Being able to see how notes reference each other makes large collections of notes manageable while also allowing me to make connections otherwise impossible to see. Please add so GoodNote can be my one stop shop for note taking.

  3. I like the new update, especially where you can make the toolbar disappear, but still write. I want it to stay gone when I double-tap my Apple Pencil to erase. It increases space on the page with it gone, but I would love to be able to switch to my erase (by double-tapping), and not have it pop back up.

  4. I use Goodnotes for cross stitch. Many of my patterns are PDF files with multiple pages. It would be nice to be able to join the individual pattern pages together to create one seamless picture.

  5. Hello Goodnotes Team,

    I’d love to suggest a feature that could make Goodnotes even more useful, especially for students and professionals:

    1. Integrated Calculator
    • A calculator that can be freely moved anywhere on the screen, so it’s always available right where you need it.

      • It can be collapsed into a small icon and expanded again at any time, so it never gets in the way of note-taking.
      • Beyond basic arithmetic, it would be very helpful if the calculator could handle functions such as x², √, fractions, and potentially even simple scientific functions (like sin, cos, log).
      • This would make Goodnotes a…

  7. In one of the last Updates the full page typing mode was removed and now you have to hold down the add textbox button and do 3 more extra steps. Please bring back the old option where you could just click in the nav-bar the option for keyboards and start working. Again this is now just extra complicated and all in all a downgrade. Writing this on Oktober 10th with the newest goodnotes and ios updates btw

  9. so i have received the most recent update on the app and i kinda looked that you cant change the size of the letters below 8, this kinda discomforts me because i usually write notes over the slides on powerpoint i take pictures and 8 is too much for me, i was fine with writing with a 5 size and sometimes even minimize it to 4 so it could fit in there, i hope its not an inconvenience for you i just liked the way it was before, thank you for your time.

  10. The same way it was before the most recent update, as it’s easier when needing to draw straight line shapes with the same colours used for writing/drawing as it’s far more convenient than copying and pasting the colour code

  12. have our 4 favorite pen colors then next to it have a drop-down arrow (just like the arrow for hidden tools) with the rest of our color palettes. That way we won’t have to constantly scroll back and forth to change our stroke settings and so we won’t have limited colors options / only 12 of our favorite pen colors

  13. Previously I could easily edit the points/vertices of the shape….. with the new update, it is much inconvenient to edit the points. Please bring it back… it is easily to teach triangle area if I could easily shift the vertex

  14. I know a lot of engineering students that use this app, but have to use many other apps as well to take coding, circuit or higher level math classes. I use https://www.stempad.com/editor but would rather use GoodNotes6 because of all your other great features. The code and circuit block don't even need to be functional, just formatted like code and maybe helps you code like VS Code based on the language. It just takes a lot of time going back and forth between apps.

  15. Die Standardschrift soll für ein Dokument einstellbar sein (wie bei der alten Version)

    Es ist unglaublich mühsam, bei jedem neuen Text Feld öffnen: Schriftgrösse, Fett oder nicht, Schriftfarb etc. einzustellen.

    Bitte Bitte ändern sie das!!!!!!!!!!

  16. We used to be able to set the text size as small as 1, but the new update requires a minimum of 8. Why limit users with fewer capabilities instead of offering more? How is that helpful?

  17. It would be nice if Android and Windows finally got the same capabilities as Apple. Adding new fonts, uploading stickers, and many other things unfortunately don't work at all. This has been a known issue for years.

  19. Firstly, i would like to say im working with goodnotes 6, and a macbook air

    1. the text document is a new feature which I understand but at the moment ive no idea why its pushed to production. the text size is so small and doesnt work when i try to make it bigger, i cant change the font size. Allow us to change the font size of paragraphs because now it's so small im basically straining to see

    2. allow me to copy and paste vcscode code into the code block. ive no idea why i have to retype everything in…

  20. Ok, for this, the existing features are: skip 10 sec, sidebar, transcribe, live(recorded) edit

    I just want more features: export audio, and fast forward with options (x2, x3, x.5, etc)
