  1. In my opinion, it would be great to have the option of exporting folders with all subfolders and the associated PDFs together. Currently it is very tedious to export folders of completed projects from Goodnotes. In my case, the projects don't get any smaller and so it takes longer and longer to prepare all the files for the backup. I think this function would be very useful.

  2. I use the note-paper layout with lines and the side part on the left for punching. I like this layout because I am using handwriting and typewriting in one document. I would love to have this layout with squares and with a right and left side. So when I am printing double sided, the side part is always where the punching is.

  5. I want to use my note as a one session study. I mean I have mathematical equations to solve but I don’t want to copy paste them to another page or deleting my original solutions. So I want to study mode as when I press to that mode I can do whatever I want then when my studying session is over it can reverse everything I do.

  7. 1) Review diagrams by annotating on them and compare with the answer side by side

    2) Multiple question choice mode: AI Generates multiple choices for questions from sentences, words or images from flash cards already created.

  8. This one is simple! Please add a feature to zoom out of a page or powerpoint slide so that we can view one slide in a smaller frame than the screen size is. I don't like how the slide automatically fits the page without being able to zoom out a little to give space to edges/corners.

  9. Using study sets is great but it would be even better if you could browse your study set cards using the sidebar or page grid view that way you don't have to scroll back individually among the cards to make a edit to card 2 if the card deck has a lot of cards (i.e. 300+).

    Also being able to mark a card for editing in practice mode, or having an edit button within practice mode that brings you directly to that card to edit.

  10. I noticed that the device gets really hot when I use Goodnots. I let a diagnositcs tool run and confirmed it.

    The device does not heat up when i use other Apps or watch videos and the brightness is around 30%.

    I would appreciate if this could be fixed.

  11. For handwritten notes, there's nothing better. But at the moment, the app is geared too heavily towards the iPad, rather than cross-platform.

    I picked up my phone to type a quite to-do list this morning, (to keep everything in one place, rather than using the Apple Notes app), and the text was tiny. Creating a bulleted list was more difficult than it should've been. There was no option to properly format a bullet point list/add indents. And no checklist feature, to add tickable to-dos when you're using a keyboard (rather than an Apple pencil).

    Cross-compatibility for this kind of thing…

  13. I want to use GoodNotes now in school, but if possible still in college. Is it possible to pay for GoodNotes for Windows only once forever?
    If not can you please do that. Your program is so good.

    Kind regards

  15. Make android math convert available for android user.
    I tried to follow your instructions about the math convertor, and I didn't find this option for it in the android app (using tab S8+).

  16. GoodNotes takes forever to Sync updated documents between two devices, forever being several hours. This contradicts the entire functionality. Had this problem with several different devices and versions (since several years).
    I find it infuriating that I am forced to update Goodnotes and pay money again and again and this issue is still not fixed.

  17. a)Being able to write all Math symbols and equations in any font to maintain uniformity of notes. For example, being able to write a fraction in Bradley hand or noteworthy. Posted a sample here. (b) A tool to draw graphs would be great too.

  18. If you return to the “documents” tab, and you want to view an already opened note, you have to find it among other notes and often hidden in folders just to open it again. A “view opened” button on the homepage of goodnotes would solve this issue!

  19. The study set is a very nice feature, but it is not fully functional yet. One of my requests regarding the study set is the ability to change the size of the cards. In its current state, it is difficult to use, especially when in edit mode, as the letters are small and hard to read. It would be very nice if this were implemented.

  20. While recording audio, GoodNotes should periodically autosave and start a new recording, e.g. once per hour. This would break the recording into hourlong chunks. This functionality is available in Notability, for example.

    Use case: if the user forgets to turn off recording, it’s easier to delete unnecessary recordings later by looking at the timestamp.
