  1. I create folders for each of my pupils all containing lesson plans/ handouts etc. I use a template folder then copy it for each pupil. I use comments a lot to set questions. I would like to be able to set these questions in the comments in the template file. However at the minute everything copies/pastes or duplicates from the template except comments. This means all comments have to be redone in each and every new file. I can use around 100 comments or more in each pupils file, so this can be very time taking. Please can you make…

  2. I want to request adding a "Select and Search" feature in GoodNotes. This feature would enable users to select a word or sentence within a PDF and click "Search" to initiate a search for that text throughout the document.

    This will be a huge time saver and more efficient, especially with study documents that have questions at the end; this will make it easy to look up and review the answers to those questions quickly. Otherwise, especially when I'm using my iPhone on the go, I'd waste time on repetitive unnecessary steps of clicking options, scrolling to find search, and…

  5. Linking should be faster to use. It currently too slow to hold onto a link that is generated, it should be a simple click and take me there.

    Linking is to simple. Being able to create links only out of text box is a huge limitation that makes this feature not only clunky but super limited and not competitively viable compared to the FREE alternatives like Obsidian's Excalidraw.

    Links are page based, WHAT if i need to link somewhere specific in a page? They need to link back

    Links to somewhere should also link back. Like if i link to…

  10. Der Füller in der Notizen-App von Apple hat eine sehr schöne Schrift. Bitte fügt das selbe auch in GoodNotes hinzu. So macht das schreiben noch mehr Spaß.

  11. It would be great to not have to change font and typing size for every text box and instead have a preset option like the pens and colors.

  13. Goodnotes should integrate with the new apple journal API for those of us that use Goodnotes as a journal. That way we could be prompted to add photos / videos, and journal about events. Other journaling apps have started using this same API, and Goodnotes could be one of the first handwriting focused apps to do the same.

  14. Plz add the option of changing pen size and style after writing the note. Sometime I accidentally write the word too small but when I enlarge it the pen size enlarge too. So it will be nice to add the option to change the pen size and style after the writing is done

  17. The order of flashcards is automatically mixed as you move it to another set. This is quite bad for people who are studying flashcards in sequences. Obviously I always have the option of smart learn so there’s no reason for mixing the cards in the first place

  20. It would be great if lines snapped into place at the intersections of the checkered template (as with Notability). In addition, I would not add a ruler but a information directly next to a line that shows the length of it (as with Freeform). Finally, I would add an icon to the toolbar with which you can quickly draw a coordinate system.
