  4. Create an add in or separate app that looks and acts like a “Franklin Covey” paper planner, but is has the calendar entries from iOS or online calendars. The app would have the amazing handwriting capabilities and note taking options in addition to a planner.

    There are beautifully designed digital planner templates made for GoodNotes, but I haven’t found one that actually is linked or can be linked to a native or online calendar. Would pay for this type of app.

  6. There is a noticeable lag while using the Apple Pencil as well as the rubber feature of this application. Goodnotes 5 is one of the innovative apps to bring some cool new features and customizable options, but this lag annoys me the most. The video is also posted where I show how the rubber tool lags.

  10. Through log in to a GoodNotes account we should be able to synch data between several devices. (iCloud is sometimes not allowed on company devices). Or allow central data storage (not only backup) at google drive, etc.

  11. Like a multi color pen with 4 slots. Add a 4th slot to the color options, so we can have the standard black and 3 other colors, or any 4 colors we want.

  12. Wenn man vom markieren ins schreiben übergeht, soll das Lineal Werkzeug deaktiviert werden, da man es sonst immer selber deaktivieren muss.
    Darüberhinaus wäre es hilfreich, ein duales System zu entwickeln, sodass man bei Bedarf die vorherige Seite klein oben im Eck hat, sodass man nicht immer zurückblättern muss, um die Aufgabenstellung zu lesen.

  14. I’m a student which I know some other people can relate to is to know a lot of different languages and wants to make notes like in their native language or their secondary language. For example I would gladly be happy if there was more choices to choose for languages. It’s a little bit annoying to write when the dictionary says it’s wrong and have the red line under the words. Even tho it’s right and it’s in another language. If u could make it possible for more languages then it would change for most people using the app on…

  15. I love the scribble to erase feature in Goodnotes 6. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working while writing in the zoom window mode. The zoom window makes it really comfortable to write since I don’t have to move the paper around all the time. I would love to be able to use the scribble to erase feature there too. Thank you!

  16. I would like to add the ability to print a study set.

    The study set mode has been added, so I'm using GoodNote very usefully.

    I sincerely wish your company endless development.

    Thank you.

  18. Apple announced that iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey feature system-wide translation, allowing users to translate text by simply selecting it and tapping or right clicking on the Translate option that appears.

    This native support by the os, should be easy to implement.

    In fact, some existing applications already support this feature without upgrading. I am curious why GoodNotes does not automatically support it when reading PDF files.

  19. When I inputted my class Syllabus and other long multiple-page documents to my notebooks they cluttered my notebook. It would be great if we could have a feature that condenses those un-necessary elements to one outline level and separate subsequent pages in the large documents from the rest of the notebook view.

    Maybe utilize the vertical and horizontal scrolling? Have normal pages scroll using the user designated scroll direction (eg vertical) and the sub-outline pages scroll the other scroll direction (eg horizontal).

    You could only add two directions then I suppose

  20. I’d like to mix up my flash cards from different folders by selecting which folders to study so I don’t need to go to each folder and study from those flash cards separately.
