  1. I love the flashcard feature in Good Notes! But, I have an idea for how to make it more user-friendly. What if you could put 'tags' on certain cards? For example, in my bio flashcards, I would love to tag which chapters the card is from (e.g., "Ch. 1", "Ch. 2", "Ch. 3"). Then when I launch the flashcard feature, I can select which tags I would like to review. If I feel comfortable with the content from chapter 1, I would leave those cards out. You could also tag cards by their level of difficulty, kind of question (true/false,…

  2. It would be amazing if it was possible to edit an existing PDF. Right not, Goodnotes can't, and the only way to actually have the modified PDF as output, is to manually export all of it.
    Imagine you have a sync folder (maybe with Dropbox, or Syncthings, etc), and you open a PDF (that is inside that sync folder) with Goodnotes. You start to edit the PDF with Goodnotes and everybody that has that sync folder, have the edits updated almost in real time. This is not possible right now, while it is possible in other PDF apps like PDF…

  3. Für viele komplexe Aufgaben wird bei der Konstruktion eine genaue Gradzahl benötigt. Mit einem Geodreieck wäre dies auch ohne andere App leicht möglich.

  5. Three dots on top of the screen for split view prevent the user from pressing the down ( v ) arrow on the right of the document name when the name is short. Please move the arrow or resize the touchbox for the arrow.

  6. Allow the screen when using GoodNotes on iPad to be shared with the Mac App version so you can see what you're doing in real-time on the Mac App. I currently use another writing program that does this, which is amazing. I can jump on Zoom and work on documents and teach. Likewise, I can join my tutoring sessions, and my teachers can see the work I'm doing and annotate on screen, etc. I also give presentations and live training, so having the illustrations up on the projector in from of the class is great.

    The AirPlay feature is not…

  7. When copying and pasting with the Lasso tool, we are given the option to resize and rotate, but we are NOT given the option to mirror the image, that is, reflecting it with respect to the vertical axis. That would be a useful improvement, in my opinion.

    For example, to draw a face it would be enough to draw the right eye, half a nose and half a mouth, then mirror it.

  9. Hopefully, this is something simple but basically bold the first half of a word as seen in the Bionic Reading example: https://bionic-reading.com

    This helps reading drastically.

  10. Hi,
    I have used goodnotes for a long time. I was just working on my Mac and goodnotes in not even open and I got a popup (not a notification!) asking if I was enjoying goodnotes. I believe this is a violation as I do not have notifications enabled for Goodnotes on my mac. How do I make sure this never happens again? I think it is absolutely unacceptable for any app-especially if it is not even being used-to randomly open a popup on my computer. Please address this important issue immediately as this is a professional computer that I…

  12. I hope when I switch to the other pages, the state of the pencil of my previous page is changeless. For example, the color of the pencil of my previous page is red. When I use other pages, I change the color of the pencil as blue. I hope when I switch to my previous page, the color of the pencil is still red instead of blue. Others tools like eraser and highlight are in way.Thank you!

  13. Add an option to show starred folders at the top.
    Use case: I have a folder for every class at university in the root folder and star classes that I attend at the current semester.
    Having a single sub-folder for every semester is not an option for me, because some classes span multiple semesters and often I need quick access to old classes and dont want to click every sub-folder to search for the correct folder.

  14. In the pages view, when clicking the arrow on a page, would be great to add a new feature "Archive". This sends the current page to the last page of the notebook and slightly dims it, or adds an icon indicating it is archived.

  15. When selecting text in "read mode", the options that pop-up are "highlight" "strikeout" "define" "speak" "copy" "add comment".

    It would be great if there was an option for "highlight and copy", so I don't have to select the text twice.

  16. i noticed that they implimented for goodnotes to create an auto link whenever you type “.com” at the end of anything which is very frustrating when i am not trying to attatch any links. i have to click the link to unlink it only for it to come back the second i continue typing. Can you create a feature in the settings where this feature can be turned off?

  17. So many times I lasso something and have accidentally included a few pixels of something that I don’t want to move. It would be nice to edit the boundaries of the lasso by adding/subtracting from it.

  18. Hi i think it would be so great if there was a tab to view highlights and notes made on a document. I love to use GoodNotes for my textbooks or pdfs professors give and i annotate on them a lot but it is so hard finding where i highlighted something or noted something because i have to scroll through the document. Sometimes my documents are 100 pages long and takes to long to find where something is highlighted

  19. 直接在便利贴或图片上写字,现在便利贴移动后,字还在原处。圈选得话会选中便利贴下的文字一起移动。
    大纲应该按顺序排列,现在是后导入的内容反而排在前面,希望能调整为按照页码顺序

  20. I’d love a feature that would allow you to easily select all highlighted (with the highlighter tool) material to copy and paste into another note. When studying, or when reading over documents or notes, I tend to be “old school” and highlight relevant material for further review or further studying. I would then love to be able to take all of my highlighted stuff and copy it into a condensed note for studying only what I’ve highlighted. Hopefully that made sense!
