  1. Post making a study Set of any Main Topic, which which will have ‘n’ number of subtopics. But the next day when we get notification to study our study set, and when we open it, it gives us prompts showing one of the subtopics. If we don't want to answer it, if we want to skip it, there is NO option of "Skip".

    If we close our Study Set and open it again, we will again be given the same subtopic which we have shown earlier which we wanted to skip earlier. There is no switching to a new subtopic.

  2. Can we please get a Note Editing Format Reset window when we have text lassoed.

    For example; If we lasso a word(s) and the edit options come up, one of the options can be a list of formatting presets to change the formatting of the “type” of text lassoed.

    The presets should include formatting for Heading, Sub Heading, Key Term, °2 Key Term, Definition, Key Point, and Examples.

    That way all of our note editing is uniformed and streamlined.

    If I select the Editing Format Preset for Key Term, the size, font and color of the word would automatically change…

  4. After the update ,goodnotes 6 is missing a feature to lock the text box. This is very inconveinet now. I like to handwritting over a tex box, but the tex box is keep moving around while i‘m handwriting whithout the feature. Or maybe I can‘t find that after the update. Could you let me know where I can find that feature? This is very essential feature to me.

  5. 工具列以前的比更新後的好,不需要分類點擊,不但會增加遮擋頁面的面積,還只會增加我們在操作上的點擊次數,使操作更麻煩,而且為什麼只能更改大項目的順序、小項目的不行?

  6. 1.When we open a PDF, it always opens at 100% size. If I try to zoom out using two fingers, it automatically snaps back to full screen as soon as I release my fingers. But this doesn’t happen in other apps—zooming out there makes it easier to scroll through the PDF …It should zoom out the same way it does in the second picture, although I took that screenshot while holding it with my fingers

    1. Also, this app doesn’t have a separate option to change the background theme. It automatically uses the device’s theme, but there should be an independent…

  7. Highlighting is very tedious on this app. I agree with the many other posts that are requesting straight line highlighting and snap to text highlighting (as an option in addition to the current highlighter). However, I would like to take the snap to text feature one step further.

    If I need to highlight 3 lines in a paragraph, I shouldn’t have to make 3 separate highlighter actions. I should only have to put my pencil on the first word, and drag it to the last word. The software should highlight everything in between. In the image I attached, I put…

  8. When I am working in a large document (several hundred pages), navigating the TOC is cumbersome. If I’m on page 23 of 900, and know I need to go approximately 3/4 of the way into the document to a chart, I have to scroll and scroll and scroll until I get there.

    The app I’m attempting to replace with Goodnotes, GoodReader, has an extremely efficient TOC that you can click through easily. You can see the entire document and just tap where you want to go. If I need to navigate the documents actual TOC, bookmarks, or any annotations I…

  9. I like reading comics and manga and marking them up. Goodnotes has the best markup I have tried. But there are some panels in the books that join into one, and when I import my PDFs I can only see half of the panel at once. I would like to be able to see two pages at once. Gapless would be ideal, but I imagine it makes sense for there to be a gap. A toggle would help.
    Bonus Points if I can choose to read from right to left as well so I can read both comics and manga,…

  10. The typing notebook beta option is nice however it would be nice if it could be a template you could insert into any notebook like it was previously this the option to write, add text, or read only. Having it being isolated to just a note book makes it difficult to take notes and add written comments or highlights. Also the new note taking is annoying without a keyboard mainly for copy and paste but also to change the font size.

  11. It would be very helpful to have a clear page option that removes handwriting and text but keeps inserted images intact. I frequently take pictures of suggested problems or textbook problems, and after some time i want to resolve then and get rid of my old computations and scribbles.

  12. Direct API Integration with Notion! I use Notion for organizing my personal life, school, and work. But I love handwriting notes over typing so Goodnotes has all my planners/notes. Right now I am unable to embed Goodnotes in Notion, but this would be extremely helpful!!!! Please collab!

  13. It would be great to be able to share and collaborate on learning sets as it is possible for other documents. Right now, you need to export the entire file, so the other person will work from another version, and the two will not synchronise

  14. There should be an option for pdfs where goodnotes highlighter can auto highlight phrases or sentence lines like a pdf reader.

    It already can select words in pdf, might as well add this functionality.

  15. Version 7.0.18: At the moment, it's only possible to link notebooks. It would be useful to link text documents, too.

  16. Allow text boxes to move from page to page without lasso tool. Since the text box is already a moveable item it would be nice to be able to move it from page to page without it disappearing. The lasso seems like an unnecessary extra step

  17. Please add an option to set custom font presets for handwriting-to-text conversion. When I convert handwritten notes, the text always switches to the default font, and I have to reformat everything manually. Being able to choose and save presets (e.g., Noteworthy Bold for headings and Noteworthy Light for body text) would save a lot of time and make notes much cleaner instantly.

  19. There should be a way to reverse the flash card to learn the questions from the answers? Quizlet, a competing app, does this, and I can't find the equivalent on Goodnotes :(
