  2. When using text boxes, I can only tab across the screen to a certain extent (about 1/3 of the page width) before the cursor jumps to the next line. When trying to type around embedded images or handwritten notes, it’s extremely frustrating to use the tab key only so far and then have to press and hold the space bar for the cursor to go exactly where I want. It would be great if you added the ability to use the tab key across the entire page if we wanted to instead of having the cursor move to the next…

  3. Hi, I'm a user about Goodnotes since 2018.
    I suggest a few things to improve the Goodnotes.
    This writing was written including opinions of Goodnotes users around me.

    First, syncs of the Recording function and Text Box
    When I record and write at the same time, the writing syncs with the time of the recording. But it doesn't work in text box mode.
    So I recommend you to syncronize the time of the text coming out and the recorded audio.

    Second, Recording search function
    I would like to be able to hear the recording of that part when I touch…

  4. It would be of most use if a specific note on the sheet could be associated with an audio file saved in the notes. For example there could be a dot that prompts to the audio saved (the same way comments work), while also being able to change its name and description!

  5. I feel that the flashcards would be perfect if I was able to flip them and get tested on the "answer" side. when I'm studying a language, I want to be able to get tested on both languages. And if it's possible, it would be amazing to be able to mess with the setting and get a mix of either side of the flashcards in a study sesh. Also the ability to randomise flashcards would be great. In general, more customisation for how we want to be tested would be awesome. Other than that, I'm really happy with this flashcard…

  6. I would love to have the ability to search just within a certain folder. I have a folder for each class, but being in vet school my classes overlap a lot. I would like to be able to search within a specific folder to be able to find info from just one class.

    Also with the new study set feature it would be great if we could have a search function within the study set just like any other Notebook

  7. I see you now have Android Beta. However, you only wish to support 8-inch tablets or larger. What about people like me who use note phone for my daily studies? I write my notes on my phone and use other apps. I consider my Samsung Note 10+ a reliable note-taking app. It would be lovely if you consider also consider other note phone devices too as we also use a pen anyway and are used the size of our screens. Thanks!

  8. We need the ability to automate the creation of notes from a shortcut - like setting the template, title, folder etc of a new note created. Check out what Bear lets you do if you need an example of good shortcut support for automating on iOS/iPadOS/macOS. Thank you!

  9. The current search function can only see the file, not the file path. For those who have created a folder in the wrong place, it is painful not to find this folder through the search function. I have to open each folder to check where the folder is, and the search function has no effect at this time. I want the search function to tell me where the file or folder is like the search function of the Windows system.

  11. Please audio recordings need some basically feature to be implemented, otherwise their use is almost impossible.
    1 first of all, there is no point in showing in the time bar all recordings at the same time. Just show the corrent track, otherwise it is almost impossible to navigate to a specific point
    2 It is equally important to have the possibility to rename the recordings. It is so difficult find the right records just from the order or the date

    these 2 are the critical iussues. Other good feature may be add the possibility to export audio files, change the…

  12. I use GoodNotes for my mechanical engineering studies. For this it would be nice if a few more features were added.

    I would find the following features important:

    -ruler with a scale and angle setting

    -Predefined shapes (arrow, semicolon line, square, circle, etc...)

    -Mathematical paper templates (graph paper, squared paper with 5mm boxes)

  13. I love your product, I use it every day for studying and work.
    One of the things I appreciate in an app I use daily is the possibility to automate some actions thanks to my memory.

    For example: if I know that the "paste" command is the third from the left when I select an image, I will not read the command name anymore, I'll just automatically select it.

    What often happens with your updates is that you change the position of buttons or commands. Each time this happens I lose a tremendous amount of time re-learning the new settings…

  15. I hope GoodNotes for Windows can add keyboard typing function. Handwriting on Windows is inconvenient. At the same time, I also want to be able to import PDF, Word and PPT files clearly, because the text will appear ghosting after importing PDF, which makes me feel uncomfortable. Is there a function to hide or reduce the width of all document pages on the left side on Windows? Because when two documents are displayed at the same time, the small page on the left will occupy more space in the editing page.

  17. I know ms word has this function but it would be really great if we could type arrows like insert symbol in MS Word.
    I know writing is the best way to remember, but sometimes I don’t have time to write slowly then being able to type a symbol is really helpful….. especially when you have a lot of notes to make.

  19. GoodNotes users are looking to integrate AI features into the app, similar to other note-taking apps like Notion. AI-powered features such as transforming notes into practice tests, flashcards, table forms and summaries can help users study and revise more efficiently. Additionally, users would like to see AI-powered grammar and vocabulary suggestions to improve the quality of their notes.

  20. Please includes a customizable color palette with the ability to add and save custom colors for text styling. This feature is similar to the digital pen's color to create colorful text quickly and easily.
