  1. Merging pdf, either between existing goodnotes files or those in my files, is something I do fairly regularly. I have to usually turn to online sources that are sometimes a little sketchy looking rather than paying high fees to do something that should be simple. I would love to see this ability added to goodnotes!

  2. It would be nice to say "Select all handwriting" or simply "select all". Oftentimes when I need to resize I have to draw my lasso around the whole object multiple times because it misses a small or large portion. It would make resizing much easier if we could just say select all.

  4. When learning with the new flash card function, I like to copy/paste sentences from other documents onto a flash card and highlight the words I want to learn the translation of. (more context ->better learning)
    Implementing a „Big, cursive, underscore ability“ like in other GoodNotes-documents or some other highlighting-option would be greatly appreciated.

  5. It has been mentioned before, but it's worth repeating: Searching within specific folders would be incredibly helpful on the GoodNotes note-taking app. GoodNotes is an excellent note-taking app that works well on all systems, and it would be even better if it could be used across all platforms, including Windows. Improving the search function would be a significant improvement for everyone, especially those who rely on the app for note-taking.

    Furthermore, it would be fantastic if an online collection of documents could be created. This would allow users to access their records through a secure login on a website. Finally,…

  7. The standard way of using the marker is to draw an ugly form of transparent color above your text. Imagine, you could just recolor the text you have previously written instead with the marker pen in another mode...the standard method of selecting, long pressing and changing color with a menu every time takes soo long. Attached is an image with an example and an icon idea.

  8. The topic says it all really …

    Currently the app preferences captures a setting for your language, with respect to handwriting recognition.

    My suggestion is to extend that data point to also apply to the default language used when creating a new “Study Set” of flash cards.

    The need to change this every time seems a failing on the part of the design…

  10. As a student, I have a notebook for each class and like to record the lectures for especially difficult topics. I would like to be able to quickly review the audio files when studying; I think the rename feature is vital so I can quickly access a specific lecture topic without trying to figure out what day (or even what hour) the lecture was given. It will also help me organize topics.

    I also think a separate space for an audio transcript would be extremely helpful for productivity. Not only does it help me quickly navigate the recording (e.g. jump…

  11. The new flashcard feature is great, now we can see the cards in a bigger way. The only thing that would be useful, would be if we had an overview over all the cards like we do in a normal notebook over all the pages, so that we can find specific cards more easily.

  15. Currently in experimental nmode, there is no way to see all flash cards in a study set, nor to move them to different sets. In case that isn‘t planned: that would be crucial for the feature to be usable properly.

  17. When you copy an item and go to paste it again Goodnotes can lag, sometimes up to a minute.

    The issue can occur at anytime but is more prevalent when you are copying something from one page to another in the same document.

    Goodnotes also freezes for up to 30 seconds for no apprent reason every now and then.

    We have 4 I pad

    It appears the delay/lag is occuring while Goodnotes is wrting data to either iCloud, Google Drive or both.

    We have 4 x iPad Pro's running Goodnotes 5 and the issue is present on all 4 devices.

  18. If you have different iCloud accounts you have no way to sync your notes so a log in option on the app would be great rather than just the pay option

  19. Remove the "Command + D" when within a document. The reason for this request is "command +F" is a function I use often. Because of the proximity of D and F on the keyboard, I often mistakenly duplicate an entire book, sometimes containing thousands of pages and notes and imported pictures. Another fix would simply adding a prompt "are you sure you want to duplicate all 1xxx pages?" then have to click yes. It locks up my computer when it duplicates. Thank you!
