  1. I'm using Good Note 5. I accidentally deleted the application without backing up, so is there a way to recover the file again?

  2. It would be great, if you could add more photos and especially photos as well as text and drawing, instead of just one or the other

  4. I have hundreds of flash cards as a uni student and I like to access individual ones to refresh my memory as I study. I have seen there is a search function for other documents but cannot find one for flash cards so I can't easily find a specific card without scrolling through the thumbnails? I absolutely love Goodnotes and use it all the time. University would be tons harder without it so thank you :) I would love a thumbnails search function for flashcards please.

  5. 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.

  7. Bring back the share button on the text conversion popup window. Version 5 had a way to share converted text to other applications, but Version 6 replaced the button with a button which converts the handwriting to text in place.

    This is a huge downgrade in functionality.

  8. For those of us who use stickers a lot, it would be great to get a stylus/tap shortcut to bring up the recently used/common stickers while in writing mode - that would be a game-changer. And/or to be able to pin them in the tool bar without needing to specifically go to the sticker menu each time

  11. It's wonderful that there's now a ruler in GoodNotes. For math classes, it would be great if the grid paper aligned with it had a box width of 0.5 cm, and users wouldn't have to create this paper background themselves.

  13. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am a long-time user of GoodNotes on my Macbook and greatly appreciate the app. However, during my usage, I have identified some areas for improvement that could significantly enhance the user experience.

    Firstly, I would like to suggest optimizing GoodNotes for Macbook users, particularly with regards to the writing experience. It would be fantastic if the app could automatically detect that it is running on a Macbook and adjust the writing width accordingly. This would eliminate the need for users to manually adjust settings constantly to achieve the optimal…

  15. Create study set from a csv or json file and import to goodnotes.

    Creating large quantities of cards one-by-one is mind-numbing, so it would be much easier to do it on a computer with a keyboard in one big file, then import and study on the go!

    Copy pasting a json card template 300 times is a lot easier than swiping, scrolling, and dealing with an onscreen keyboard to create those cards.

    My specific use case is learning airport codes, airline codes, and other long lists of simple information.

    Other use cases might include:
    - memorizing chemical elements (over 100)…

  16. Please add Indent, Bullet and a Numbering icons next to the return button. This would be very helpful when using handwriting to text.

  17. have a great idea! Please implement this feature, i can imagine that many users have the same issues.

    I I am creating multiple cards in a learn set, Goodnotes will ask me at the next day to repeat every card. If you have written many card (like 50-70) it can be really hard to learn everything at just one day.
    My idea: the activation of cards. You can decide how many cards you want to activate. Only activated cards will be taken into account at the repetition. That would be super helpful!
    Thank you!

  18. Allow us to input a number for the size. That way we can ensure our stickers are all uniform in size instead of guesstimating with the drag feature.

  19. In GoodNotes 5 it was possible to import a document from an external app and it would set to save to the folder which was open last. If you didn't want the document to be saved there you would have to change it. Now in GoodNotes 6 it is always set to all document which is annoying. Can you please change is back like it was in GoodNotes 5 :)

  20. Hi! I’ve been enjoying Goodnotes 6 a lot but I realised that it heats up a lot (Like A LOT) when using it and I use it on ipad. (Using it on ipad means I have to write and my hand gets uncomfortable and kinda red) I hope there could be a feature, like make it run smoother but emit less heat. Thanks!
