  1. I recently switched from Notability to Goodnotes, I enjoy this app but I found the centering tool to be very helpful on Notability. I like my notes to be as clean as possible so I’d greatly appreciate it if some type of action was to be done for this to happen!

  2. The new typing mode is super useful to write down large paragraph text input.
    The bullet list/number list are particular important for notes.

    However,
    we will need sub-bullet points and sub-number lists. For example:
    1. background
    a) xxx
    b) zzz
    2. method.
    a). xxx
    b). yyy

  3. In the last update the 3 pen thickness options have disappeared from the tool bar to make space for the more colors options. As students, need to change the THICKNESS of the pens very quickly and countless times when taking notes.

    PLEASE BRING IT BACK ON THE TOOLBAR!!

  5. 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.

  6. Hi, I really enjoy Goodnotes, nut the only issue I have is that I bought premium, but my language (Swedish) isn´t supported which makes me really sad. When are you adding more languages?

  7. It would be great to add widgets to pages and choose to have these be per page or persistent (thus appearing on every new page in the location selected). Widgets I'd love to place on my pages would be:

    Date/Time - Box that shows the date/time (with option for format). When you add this it will place it with current date or time but user can tap to change. If you choose to make it persistent, when you create a new page it will use the current date/time unless user changes.

    Page # - Simple text to show current page…

  9. you should add some studying tools such as
    tape to cover the answers while studing.Also,The recorded voices shouldn't take a space in the device. Additionally, the laser pointer should have multiple styles.

  11. Audio Transcripts—the power to turn any audio recording directly into text within your note! Capture every detail and never worry about gaps in your knowledge. Copy, paste, and search within time-stamped text, so you always have the info you need! Now available with Notability Plus

    Notability has just released this feature to the market and I think it's very important to have this function for students or lectures.

  12. Hi, my main language is Slovak and I have been very excited to download your app and use it on my university lessons that start in September. I bought an iPad and Apple pencil and I am trying to learn to write notes on GOODNOTES. However when i am converting my writing into text, it keeps correcting my words into many different languages or wrong words and it is so annoying and frustrating. Not only it makes me mad but I truly will not be able to fix it constantly on my lessons. For my school, I will need to…

  14. Hi! I love this app and it is almost my go to, but I still have to use other apps daily in all my classes and at work, because there is no option for a multi level bulleted list where you can make bullet points and then click tab to indent one on the next level and have many levels of lists. This is such a key feature in note taking. Please add this feature!

  15. The current colours for folders are extremely limited. I use Goodnotes for many different things, and I am having to repeat folder colours which makes it hard to quickly find things I need. I think it would be useful to rather have a colour wheel or similar option, or even a way to add a photo as the folder cover rather than just a small generic icon which is hard to see.

  17. Coloured Tabs would be great.
    I have many goodnotes files open, many for different subjects. If I could colour the tabs, I could more easily distinguish betweens subjects and more quickly find the subject I am looking for.
    For example: my thermodynamics folder is red. Notes to my thermodynamics lecture could corresponed to a red tab by default. Homework for thermodynamics, that are also in the red thermodynamics folder, could also have their tab colour switched from red to pink (similar colour, different purpose).

  18. "We need an integrated LaTeX editor, allowing for a combination of text and LaTeX boxes. Additionally, it should have a comprehensive LaTeX library, and ideally, apps like GoodNotes should offer math and chemistry keyboards."

  19. 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.

  20. 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!
