  1. In dark mode, the contrast when clicking on the math preview is poor. The font color should be white, not dark.

  2. Wonderful to now have a ruler... but please make it a changeable scale ruler. This is critical for architects and designers and will be life-changing in the app.

  4. I am sad that a similar request had been closed so im trying again: to have the possibility to make a note sheet beside the script but in the same document would be awesome! I struggle a lot with this in Goodnotes, I use the app for all my university stuff and when I go through the documents I always have to insert a clear page and scroll. it would be nice to get some sort of note sheet or postIt beside. That would also be very practical if we want to export all the notes out the document.
    I…

  5. Please evaluate the Goodnotes app for accessibility and provide VPAT(S) and an. Accessibility Statement with your security and privacy options. VPAT version of the template should be 2.4 or higher (itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat) and use the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 AA (w3.org/TR/WCAG21/)or higher standards.

    Aside from making your application as accessible as possible to make it inclusive and abide by current laws, it will help you comply with the April 2024 update to the Title II if the ADA (federalregister.gov/documents/2024/04/24/2024-07758/nondiscrimination-on-the-basis-of-disability-accessibility-of-web-information-and-services-of-state#). This new update requires all federal, state, county and city agencies (which includes public institutions) to provide accessible content, websites…

  6. Seeing that Goodnotes 6 has the capability to interpret/edit LaTeX obtained from handwriting in iOS, it should be possible to create new equations with the keyboard from a macOS.

  7. Dear GoodNotes Software Engineers,
    As a regular user of GoodNotes, I am writing to share a concern and a suggestion that I believe would enhance the user experience. I have attached a photo to illustrate my point.
    As an accountant, I frequently use payroll forms and other specific templates in my work. However, adding these favorite pages to GoodNotes currently requires me to navigate to the main menu and import them each time. This process is somewhat cumbersome and time-consuming.
    I would like to propose the addition of a new feature: a dedicated tab or shortcut within the app that…

  8. I think text to speach would be extremely beneficial for all users, particularly people who have dyslexia and other learning differences. It would be more inclusive for everyone and i believe that more people in my school would use it for taking notes and completing work in school. I have already spoke to teachers and students in my school about good notes and how amazing it is for visual learners. This was many teachers only concern. Thank you

  9. Sticky Notes
    - Sticky notes should impose text size when resized
    - Text should be stuck on the sticky note and not laying on top of it
    - Allow sticky notes to go outside of a page
    - add a tethering point which can tether a specific point on the notebook, and a spot on the sticky note which will allow for it to be moved while also maintaining its connection to the text

  10. It would be really cool to be able to press "Ctrl" on your Keyboard and use the mouse scroll-wheel to zoom in and out on a page on the Windows App. This would make navigating the App on Windows much easier and more intuitive.

  11. Ich würde gerne einen Ordner inkl. der darin befindlichen Dokumente oder Unterordner Duplizieren können, da ich gerne mit Vorlagen arbeite.
    Das war, bis jetzt, nicht möglich.

  12. Please add support for more iPad models for audio transcription, as many students use Goodnotes for note-taking. This feature is very useful, but unfortunately, it only works on several iPad models. Not all students can afford to but a new iPad while the old ones still working!!

  13. I really like the new pencil writing tool, it’s definitely my favorite to write with in terms of smoothness and just what I like for journaling - but I can’t actually use it because it’s SOOO LIGHT. Like its opacity is WAY WAY DOWN. Can it be like an actual pencil?? So I can write with it and actually be able to read it??

  14. I want the paper colour to be automatically changed when activating Dark Mode just like Notability. That is the only reason I am forced to use Notability else I immediately shift to goodnotes.

  17. Mirror entire page, in the same menu where I can now rotate an entire page by 90 or 180 degrees.

    Use case: I want to make notes on a floor plan in an imported PDF file.
    But the floor plan is a mirror image of the actual space. So I want to begin by creating a mirror image of the page. In this case, I want a mirror of the image on the PDF page. I can also see reasons to be able to “flip” either the entire page with annotations or just an image in the imported PDF file,…

  18. As a Physics teacher I have to do so much calculations while solving numerical. It will be very helpful if we have apple math notes with all the features like graph plotting and variable detection etc integrated to goodnotes.

  19. I think that the file method is time-consuming, especially if the material is divided into more than one part, I suggest a method such as a divide.

  20. Since there have been a lot of updates to the text and (convert handwritten) Math features recently, it would be great to add a Mode to type mathematical notation, ideally optimised for the MacOs App. Could be similar to Word math mode or ideally support latex notations.
