  2. Currently there are two ways to highlight text from an imported PDF: using the highlight tool and highlighting freely the document with the aid of a pencil, or manually selecting the text and clicking on the highlight option.
    The latter method is more flexible for tasks such as studying on a textbook, as the highlight adjusts in size with the underlying text. Unfortunately, it is a very time consuming approach as it requires to first select the text, wait for a menu popup and then select highlight.
    It would be convenient to have an alternate behavior for the highlight tool,…

  3. It would be great to have a spline tool that allows multiple bending points.

    I my case, I would really benefit when plotting more complex functions.

  4. Your automatic backup is a great feature My request: Please include https://www.pcloud.com/ in your list of backup locations.

    The backup folder should be user defined.

    The ability to restore GoodNotes notebooks from backup should also be implemented.

    pCloud has a full API: https://docs.pcloud.com/. Maybe https://pipedream.com/apps/pcloud can help you or give you some ideas.

    1. Make the flashcards more like Anki, where it allows you to choose your own spaced repetition based on your ability to recall the cards. Instead of just having right for good and left for bad.
    2. Ability to turn notes into flashcards immediately like RemNote.
    3. Make a feature that shows all the data of how well a flashcard is recalled.

  5. Please improve the overflow text feature. Right now, if I add text to an existing page and it reaches the end, I have to add a new page for overflow each time. It should be possible to overflow to the next existing page automatically. Also, I do not see the overflow text until I add a page, so what I have written can easily be lost if I am not paying close attention. I have to backspace until the writing reappears, or add a new page- but not seeing a paragraph I have written is very stressful. It also breaks…

  6. Can a feature be added to lock a PDF after it has been signed perhaps with a date/time stamp when the PDF was locked and finalized? I am in law enforcement and I use Goodnotes to have people sign department forms. It would be great if the form could be locked and stamped after it is signed to show that the form has not been altered. Thank you.

  8. Hi,

    I use GoodNotes to complete two pages of tasks I have to grade during instruction. It would be great to have a virtual fold function so the labels were next to the grade column I'm working on.

    Thanks!
    Have a great day!

  9. We need more contrast please (white font on black/black font on white background) = EASIER TO READ
    A baby blue colour on a white (or black, if you‘re in dark mode) backdrop is STRAINING for the eyes.
    At least give us the option to choose the system default blue colour or white/black please!

    It‘s these small details that make the customer experience better/smoother.

    I get that the blue colour is supposed to show off the „GoodNotes brand“ - fine: keep the icons on the right hand side blue and only change the colour of the things circled in red (see…

  10. I have hundreds of flash cards as a uni student and I like to access individual ones to refresh my memory as I study. I have seen there is a search function for other documents but cannot find one for flash cards so I can't easily find a specific card without scrolling through the thumbnails? I absolutely love Goodnotes and use it all the time. University would be tons harder without it so thank you :) I would love a thumbnails search function for flashcards please.

  11. Add the ability to have the displayed link text be different from the actual link, the way that all web links are.

  12. I suggest you to absolutely add more settings for the new feature of typing mode, which allows users to write with pen and keyboard in the same page and in a better way.
    But I think you should allow users to change font, space between lines, change font dimension, ecc., just like is already possible in text box!.

    Please do it for us, I think it will be great making your app more and more complete and competitive, without doubt.

  13. There are notifications inside the Goodnotes app which tell you when the app thinks it is time for you to review your study sets. I would like these notifications to trigger push notifications outside of the app, on my iPhone Lock Screen and in the Notification Centre.

  15. In academia we usually have to read a lot and with that comes a necessity to organize and keep track of citations, I know that there are aps for that but I like the idea of using goodnotes highlight when reading, as it keeps the document clearer

  18. More pens options. More things so I can color documents. Also a fix so it doesn’t erase all my work when using a pen

  19. Pls: The New Folder Icons are WAY too big, cartoonish, and colours look GARISH!!

    Please make more colour options available, to make them look at least less CHAOTIC! ( Colour wheel / Colour picker)
    Changing the size of the Folders when in Gallery mode, would be VERY HELPFUL, indeed.. Or Better: Change the folder SYMBOLS in general..
    ( Presets or possibiltity of self-made symbols would be cool) But definetely let us decrease the size.. ( Maybe with a simple slider, +/- sign at the bottom or simply by PINCHING our fingers)
