  1. Please allow us to embed YouTube videos in our notes.

    Also allow us to import video files and audio files from our device into our notes.

    These features are very important for study purposes. I can’t efficiently go through all of the info that I have to review without being able to make proper use of YouTube videos, as well as video and audio files.

  2. Ability to insert text snippets including timestamps in the page. I place a horizontal line across the page then insert a timestamp to separate new entries in a notebook.

  5. I have GoodNotes 5 installed on my M1 MacBook Air, but rarely have it running. I see network connection attempts in Little Snitch made from the app all the time, including after booting and before I've opened GoodNotes for the session. I've also tried killing all related processes, but the connections still attempt to spawn.

    Is there a reason for this persistent leakage of telemetry when the application is dormant?

  6. 直接在便利贴或图片上写字,现在便利贴移动后,字还在原处。圈选得话会选中便利贴下的文字一起移动。
    大纲应该按顺序排列,现在是后导入的内容反而排在前面,希望能调整为按照页码顺序

  7. We can add images into our notes but there is currently no option to insert video files & audio files. Please consider adding this feature. Allow us to upload audio & video files to our notes, just as we are able to upload pictures.

  8. As of today, Goodnotes offers two ways of highlighting. One can either select the text manually, and click on 'Highlight' or use the Highlighter tool with a stylus/finger and freehand it.

    I propose a method that is highly common and immensely popular with other simple pdf editing apps. Clicking on a Highlighter tool, which then enables the user to drag across text to highlight precisely. Clicking on a word with the tool engaged highlights only the word; dragging across words highlights the words, sentences, paragraphs, etc. The difference between freestyle/freehand method and this is that this tool enables one to…

  9. I am a new user and am trying to report a problem I’m having. I can’t find anything about it in the existing support information and cannot find any way to submit an error report. Do you not have a way to submit an error? I’ve been pretty happy with my free version and am considering buying the upgrade but I can’t abide any software that doesn’t have a way to report errors. Nobody’s perfect and there needs to be a way to submit them.

  10. Currently you have to take a screenshot, copy it, paste it into a notebook and then you can crop it.
    Suggestion: Make it possible to to crop the screenshot directly in the preview window.

  11. It would be helpful if GoodNotes recognizes uneven handwriting and would transform it into a straight line.
    (just like the straight line function for the highlighter)

  12. I take my notes on my IPad, but study on my Windows PC. Everytime I‘m forced to convert my notes to PDF and upload them to a cloud to be able to download and view them on the Windows PC. It‘d be amazing to have an application for Windows to sync, view and maybe edit my notes there.
    If it‘s not possible to create an application for Windows, could you develop an online app where I can view my notes, that are taken with the IPad, on my Windows PC?
    Maybe based on the example of OneNote

  13. Please add the ability to make a folder a favourite after searching for it. Currently this only works with notes.
    I have hundreds of folders, and to make one a favourite I have to scroll through the entire list and then push on the star icon.
    It would make life much easier.
    Thank you for a great app!

  14. When I am trying to use the “study flash cards” function, it’s often too small to see, even when I write really large on them. No matter whether I see it on a tablet or laptop. I want a function so i can expand the study flash card window because it presents my flash cards so small and I can’t make it bigger to see it more easily.

  15. Yes, this feature is long time missing. So many times the developers have been informed about this. There should be an option to edit in book view. It would be so convenient for students like us to read and write the content like a book than a single page taking a whole lot of space on the screen

  17. While there is a button named "define" on the right click list, it is not working or popping anything up. I'm wondering if anyone is facing the same problem.

  18. Similar to MS paint it would be useful to have a paint bucket tool that would fill a color inside the lines of a shape. Most of the functionality is already added with the shape fill color option, but for drawings that dont use it there is no efficient way to fill the space.

  19. Like in Quizlet, could there be a progress bar for the flashcards? Like, the percentage of ones that are easy, good, hard, and not done yet?

    I feel like there is so so much potential to improve the flashcards feature!!!
