  1. I'd like to transition to using GoodNotes exclusively for studying because of its fantastic study set feature. However, I'm facing a challenge in exporting my flashcards from Anki to GoodNotes. The problem arises due to the presence of pictures and highlights in my flashcards. It would be greatly appreciated if a solution could be found to address this issue.

  2. Need a way to adjust our crop by moving the four corner points. Similar to a scanning app where you can move points to edge of document.

  3. Linking the same page or document in one folder to a different folder or document. Basically, the ability to edit something in one document and have it updated in the linked document or page without having to copy it or do it twice.

  4. There are quite a few preferences, that should be set and/or remembered „per document“ and “not app-wide” because they depend mainly upon the content and style of each notebook. Including:

    • scroll direction

    • auto advance of zoom window

    • last used size of zoom window

    • last used margins of zoom window

    • pen colour presets (we now have a 3rd tab for recently used colours, this should be a “document colour preset” or “recently used in THIS document” instead)

    • last used text style and text box style (and user style presets if we ever get them)

    • filter settings for paper template selection (format…

  5. Search by filtering stickers.
    I use the stickers to highlight important passages of the texts; it would be very useful to filter the pages where there are some stickers or, even better, being able to search and filter for a specific sticker.
    Thanks

  6. After writing down a paragraph in a specific color (lets say black), I would like the ability to select a tool (maybe one that looks like a lens) and would allow me to go back over the words I have already written and change their color to something else (such as blue or red). That way, I would no longer have to erase something and rewrite it in a new color. It is different from the highlight tool because I am not suggesting adding an additional color, rather I am suggesting the ability to change the color of these pen…

  8. It would be a critical feature for to have a global color palette that can be used in both handwriting and text. Otherwise, we will have to do double entry for every custom color that we want to use in different tools.

  9. Just like how you can add new presets for text color, allow users to edit the presets for the text boxes.

  13. I would love to be able to change the order of my flashcards (in ministure mode).
    Also, I would like to star/bookmark certain cards the way I do with regular documents. A separate study option for bookmarked cards would be super useful.

  14. It would be great if there was the option to edit a flashcard while in practice/smart learn mode. Sometimes you spot errors while studying and when you do, at the moment you have to leave study mode and swipe through all your flashcards to fix it.

  17. It will be extremely useful if the highlighter tool automatically snapped to the text in the document.

  18. I often scan documents by using GoodNote's function. Scan docs then write down memo with Apple Pencil on GoodNotes.
    Most Hiragana and Katakana are ok, but Kanji isn't. For example, printed word is "揉捏", but recognized string will be "探程" , "操探" etc. It happens even though scanned image is clear. Those characters' shape is totally different from the original string for Japanese or Kanji users.

    I would be appreciate if OCR could be improved.
    I also understood kanji character's shape is complicated and OCR library might be limited. So correcting OCRed string can be alternative.

  19. I totally love your Full page text typing tool and use it daily. Especially the Cornell Notes template is my favorite to use with it. But unfortunately it takes a lot of effort to move a text box to the height of the text so that it looks nice and uniform. I would like to see a second frame on the left side of the Cornell Notes template in addition to the full page typing frame. This would be very helpful.

  20. When hitting the return key for zoom window have it return to the next line under the first character of the previous written line. When taking hierarchical notes it’s annoying to have to constantly move the box manually and truly makes it unusable for taking notes this way. Adding a dotted reference to the start of the first character would also be helpful.
