  1. 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

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  5. Please an update , so that the flashcards are displayed on the whole screen. Images and texts on the flashcards are otherwise not readable.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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!!!

  10. In addition to the multi-tab functionality already in GoodNotes, it would be very useful to be able to open multiple instances of the same document at the same time. An example use case would be flipping between textbook chapters and tthe problems at the end of the chapter. Currently bookmarking provides a way to make it easier to flip back and forth between sections of a text, but it's clunky and much less convenient, and I often end up using my computer instead.

  11. Can the title of a document, image or any sort of file be more colors than just white?

    I want them to be red, pink, green, yellow, orange, brown, blue and so on.

    The reason is that I save articles in goodnotes and then I use them as sources in my papers. To make writing the sources quicker i just assort them into colors as to immeditaly tell them apart. However I would be much more effecient if I had some help to remember which color belongs to which goodnotes files - the solution is if the title were different…

  13. it would be nice for colour palettes to be shared across tools so that we don't have to add the same colour multiple times for each tool's palette.

  14. Currently, I have to use several different apps to take my notes and go through the annoying process of sharing back and forth via Google Drive or some other convoluted method.

    Please include PC compatibility for note-taking (not just viewing) and a cloud sync to avoid issues with transferring notes back and forth. See sites such as Canva that already do this. Honestly, sometimes I just use Canva for taking notes since at least I can control text formatting, grouping and locking, and cloud sync.

  16. To scale imported photos with one point pined and then drag one of the other points to the ideal location. This is more convenient in locating the photo in the place you want than the current scaling photos from the middle.
