  3. Study sets are great and i love this feature very much but i think some additional improvements will make it extremely useful and great.
    For example how much I remember the cards, if there is multiple option as in Anki such as easy, good, hard & again rather than know it or not will improve smart learn and add filter cards queue, some cards i forget it at all while others i just forget a little bit of it so the only two option make them equal.

    Although if there is an option for backward of cards as I accidentally…

  4. Instead of manually making flashcards, we should be able to upload our file and let it generate flash cards for us, it will be less time consuming. Also give different quiz options like filling in the blanks, multiple choice questions, and just writing out the answer

  8. The ruler is used with the pen tool to write straight lines. I need it to also work with the eraser tool to erase straight lines. I am creating a drawing with sharp edges and the eraser simply passes through the ruler.

  9. In the past you blended out the tab bar if there is only ONE notebook open. this was good because it did not distract me as I was writing.
    Could you please reactivate that? Or better bring an option where the tab bar can be hidden. Like a button or something?

  10. 在分享畫面的教學場景中,希望能提供“增添書寫位置的鉛筆圖示✏️動畫”的鼠標選項,鼠標跟隨書寫的位置移動,而且鼠標能持續停留在停筆的位置,可以讓觀看者更容易觀看。一切拜託了🙏,謝謝。

  12. 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).

  15. It used to be that only in read-only mode would the hyperlinks be active. This allowed me to write in annotation mode without accidentally switching to a different page of the notebook. Now I am constantly being shuffled to a new page when I write if I accidentally touch a hyperlink. I rely on this app for all my self-scheduling, day planner, and journaling. With this change it makes the app unusable.

  16. the dock menu at the top takes up a sixth of the space there is and it's really stupid because you can't hide it either. If this feature doesn't get added, I think I'm just gonna move over to notability. I can't believe there isn't an option for this, this shouldn't even be a big issue.

  17. Used to be able to search or open “table of contents / outline” and then when you clicked on your selection in the sidebar or on the page the sidebar would be minimized / in the background. The first pic the sidebar is open and to visualize the entire page you now have to tap on the search/table on contents icon at the top to minimize and see the entire page. The other 2 uploads is a previous search where you clicked on your selection in the sidebar and then you could click on the page to minimize the sidebar…

  19. The template purchases currently download as a notebook with 300+ pages that you have to manually input into custom templates page by page.

    I want my purchase to either download as the full template or have the proper system to upload the full pdf and organize between cover or page.
    Basically just be able to do a multiple page template download that's doesn't have a limit to pages downloaded at once.

  20. GoodNotes draws lots of power from my iPad Air M2, more than most games and streaming services, I'm not 100% sure where this is coming from, but I think the text recognition draws most of the power.
    So my idea would be some kind of battery-saver mode that turns off the text recognition if the device runs of the battery and when the iPad is being charged then the text will me analyzed.
