  1. Instead of searching indexed text, I want to be able to search with a handwritten phrase/drawing. The result would be whatever looks most similar in my handwriting. This would be a game changing feature.

  2. a system that can identify the headlines of a slide. Then generates the first page of the index card with the headline and the back side of the index card consits of the whole slide.
    The costumer can still change things , if needed.

  3. Next to the voice record button or add page button (for example) instead of having to exit document editing and then go to the main settings menu (esp since it already takes so long for iCloud to sync and it fails often so it needs to be refreshed constantly). This would at least save a little time until the iCloud sync function itself can be fixed.

  4. Currently, certain notebook pages can be added to the index. The possibility of inserting EXACT POINTS in our notebook into the index would be useful. For example, if in sheet1 there are Topic1 Topic2 and Topic3, it is convenient to insert an index that when I click on TopicIndex1 takes me directly to Topic1, when I click on TopicIndex3 it takes me directly TO THE LINE WHERE I INSERTED the fixed index, in this case TopicIndex3

  5. I have a Surface Pro and I am using good notes on it. One of my major complaints, and perhaps the only important one at the moment, is the missing option for handwriting recognition in windows. But this feature is supported on iPad. Would like it to be on Windows too, please!

  6. I have been using Goodnotes on my Mac for some time now, but I have found that there are often bugs that prevent me from using it efficiently. For example, I can't use my mouse to scroll up and down or type anything. Instead, I have to use the keyboard buttons to scroll, which can be frustrating. While closing and reopening the windows usually fixes the problem, it reoccurs frequently within a short period of time, sometimes as little as five minutes. Overall, I think that while Goodnotes is a useful app, it could greatly benefit from some bug fixes…

  7. When typing text on study sets, it would be really useful to be able to make certain words bold, underlined, etc.

  8. Allows users to ask questions about certain topics without having to exit the app. Incredibly useful and time saving. It can save time for finding maths formulae or answers for many other topics.

  12. I unfortunately don’t have a lot of space in my iCloud. I would really like it if good notes on MacBook could be backed up automatically using google drive rather than iCloud

  13. Hello, I’ve been a user of Goodnotes for some years by now. I love the new feature of flashcards added to Goodnotes. Even so, I have some suggestions for the improvement.
    Currently, the option of smart learning doesn’t have any curve of progress or way to review the progress made with the cards. In Anki there is the option for limiting the amount of cards reviewed in each study session. Having both options, the curve of progress from the decks and the possibility to choose only a specified amount of cards for review, and getting the cards less learned by…

  14. Loving the new autocorrect, you should add one specifically for British ways of spelling English words Aswell as American. For example Colour vs Color

  15. Ich fände es gut, wenn die erstellten Gliederungspunkte nach den Aufzählungszeichen in die richtige Reihenfolge gebracht werden würden.

    Aktuell besteht das Problem, dass Good Notes willkürlich die Gliederungsebenen in der Reihenfolge ändert.

    Beispiel:

    II. p. 25
    A. p. 25
    I. p. 25
    III. p. 26

    statt

    A. p. 25
    I. p. 25
    II. p. 25
    III. p. 26

    Die Reihenfolge, die Goodnotes bestimmt, folgt anders als man denkt, nicht der Erstellungszeit.

    Eine Verbesserung an der Stelle wäre dringend nötig, da die Gliederung, ansonsten der Willkür des Programms ausgesetzt ist.

  16. The note-taking experience with Goodnotes on the iPad is exceptional, particularly the ease of selecting text in a PDF using just a finger.

    However, this process is less intuitive on macOS, where it becomes necessary to disable the note panel to select text within a PDF document. Enhancing the macOS version with a dedicated mouse tool for text selection would significantly streamline the user experience.

    Reading PDF document is a vital feature for many users. Please!

  18. It would be fantastic to be able to have a document with a password and change the name of the recordings and be able to share them, and to have an AI tool for voice transcription, and for the photographs to have a function where the text is not covered but moves

  19. I love creating overviews of my books and games or use it in my journal.
    I would like to be able to set a uniform size for the pictures. like the settings in Word, for example. Simply enter the centimeter information and the image will adapt to that.
