  2. I have hundreds of flash cards as a uni student and I like to access individual ones to refresh my memory as I study. I have seen there is a search function for other documents but cannot find one for flash cards so I can't easily find a specific card without scrolling through the thumbnails? I absolutely love Goodnotes and use it all the time. University would be tons harder without it so thank you :) I would love a thumbnails search function for flashcards please.

  3. Add the ability to have the displayed link text be different from the actual link, the way that all web links are.

  5. I think it would be awesome if audio recordings could be saved to a page instead of a notebook as a whole. So for example MS PowerPoint you can record audio per slide and place a button to play the audio on the slide. This is great if your audio is only related or needed for a specific page and not the whole journal.

  6. I don’t know why. Writing with the original Apple fountain pen in app like notes produces very neat and beautiful handwriting, but it is ugly when I try to use the fountain pain in Goodnotes. Do you have any suggestion? 😅

  7. I'd like to create flashcards because it helps a lot in recalling topics for exams. It also gets easier to have this as a sort of note-taking. Please I'm begging Goodnotes for this feature to be included in the Goodnotes for 'Windows', this means a lot. Thank You.

  9. The note-taking experience with Goodnotes on the iPad is exceptional, particularly the ease of selecting text in a PDF using just a finger.

    However, this process is less intuitive on macOS, where it becomes necessary to disable the note panel to select text within a PDF document. Enhancing the macOS version with a dedicated mouse tool for text selection would significantly streamline the user experience.

    Reading PDF document is a vital feature for many users. Please!

  10. Hey team, I just wanted to suggest a new little feature that would benefit a lot of people, especially case users.
    I personally use a Logitech keyboard case with quite a thick lip around the screen of my iPad.
    I write with my right hand, and when getting to the right side, then it’s really uncomfortable and hard to write on the right edge of the page.
    My suggestion would be, to allow for the page to be able to be pulled into the screen, away from the edge. I know this wouldn’t be the most effective use of space,…

  11. I use a notebook for music for church band on Sundays. I upload a set of sheet music, and order the music for the Sunday we are going to play it. I would like to group the pages of each song together so when I move one page it moves the entire group of pages for that song at one time. I like to reorganize my pages so the set of songs for each Sunday are in order for that week.

  12. If you return to the “documents” tab, and you want to view an already opened note, you have to find it among other notes and often hidden in folders just to open it again. A “view opened” button on the homepage of goodnotes would solve this issue!

  13. I would like to have the option to easily switch between my dark template and close-to white font and a lighter background with a darker font.
    Could be integrated into the template side. Eg contrast colors.
    Or just with the shift from light to dark mode.

    → it is really hard to search for words in my texts while having a dark template. There just isn’t enough contrast to show me the highlighted words; thus, I always have to change template and color…

  15. Hi,

    Study set is a great fonctionality.
    I would love to use it to learn new languages.

    Currently, I am forced to write in question the word I would like to learn, in answer the answer in my native and do an other card with as question the word in native and as answer the word I want to learn.

    It is time consuming. Can it be a part of Study Set to be able to revert and learn it as well ?

    Thank you.

  16. I recently paid to upgrade to Goodnotes 6 as I really like the app and use it every day for work and teaching. However, I have been unable to use the app in the last two weeks as it claims (iPad only) that I am on the freemium service. I have followed all the instructions on the help page and while my MacBook agrees I have the premium service my iPad resolutely disagrees. The help page note does not make it clear if this issue is the same as that currently being fixed, nor does it give a timeline nor…

  18. Das Textfeld ist nicht wirklich optimal gelöst.
    Man muss die Schriftart, Schriftgröße selber verändern können.
    Das hilft im Unterricht überhaupt nicht.
    Ich dachte, mit dem Update wird das besser.
    Die Schüler kommen damit nicht klar.

    Ergänzen Sie bitte Elemente, um selber und individuell formatieren zu können.

  19. Enable the ability to mirror text, figures and pictures, perhaps add it to the lasso tool. As a chemistry student, it would become so much easier to draw isomer molecules.
