  1. It would be cool to have the option of logging into the app and have everything saved in my account in case I don’t want to/can’t use iCloud.

  2. If you're not going to try to add voice recording to goodnotes, I think it would be just as helpful to add the ability to link websites, or paste videos into the notes the same way you'd attach a picture. GIFs would be fascinating as well.

  3. I need a template for organic chemistry--Specifically a hexagonal-lined notebook. These are imperative for note taking and problem solving in organic chemistry class and as I use Goodnotes mainly for my stem classes this would be very useful!

  4. It would be fantastic if there could be an hour/minute/second timer built into goodnotes. My purpose is for taking notes on movies and tv episodes since I work in post production, but I could see this being useful for taking notes during video lectures etc to be able to reference back to a certain timecode easily, or have a time of day stamped to notes. How I could see it implemented is pressing a tool in the toolbar, followed by pressing on the paper, dropping the timecode onto that spot. Maybe long pressing the tool could allow you to reset…

  6. Please make some updates in the app. I as a medical student need to draw a lot of diagrams in my notes, especially with curves. Whenever I try to make any curved diagram it's automatically turned into edgy one. So please consider this improvement.

  7. Cryptomator allows users to sync data on whatever cloud service they want. It is end-to-end encrypted.

    iCloud, One Drive, Dropbox, etc. are not secure. These tech companies can decrypt user data at will.

    This is why Good Notes needs to support users being able to sync to different locations within settings, so that users can point their sync to a Cryptomator vault to protect their data.

  8. Being notified about a set to be done that day. Or while in the app, the flashcard could have a little icon to show that it’s ready to be reviewed again.

    Right now I just use the Apple Reminders app to notify me to study certain flashcards.

  10. I usually screenshot parts of a pdf (i.e. questions) and then move them onto a new page (to solve).

    Right now I have to:
    - Select the region
    - Select "Take a Screenshot"
    - Wait for a pop up window to show up
    - Press the "Share Button"
    - Wait for another pop up window to show up
    - Press the "Copy" button
    - Wait for both pop up windows to close
    - Then hold the lasso tool and press "Paste"

    It would be great if I can just:
    - Select the region
    - Select "Take a Screenshot"
    - Then…

  13. 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.

  14. 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

  18. I study math and sometimes I speedrun my way through a problem set, and in the long run, having to add 100+ pages one by one can become a bit annoying, since there could easily be a feature to add x pages of the current template.

    e.g. add 20 pages with the current template after the current page

  19. The Eraser Tool is used to erase only pen & highlighter strokes. There should be a separate option for allowing us to erase PDFs or slides when importing something like lecture notes that may have some unnecessary notes or writing.

  20. Physics major here, I'm finding it incredibly difficult to graph functions using the current curve option. It would be much easier to have an option that makes graphing all sorts of functions easier. So far, the only app that comes close is Colla notes, but I'd prefer to use good notes.
