  1. Ability to link to locations (pages, objects, text, etc.) within Goodnotes. I want to add tabs (like section dividers in physical notebooks) and link them to the start of a section, let's say an index. Then, on an index page, link to the specific page of a topic (and so on). It looks like everyone is building their templates in Keynotes, then PDF, then import. This is fussy, but works. The problem with this workaround is that you have to define all your pages when you build your template. You typically don't know how many topics each section will have…

  3. I would love to be able to change the order of my flashcards (in ministure mode).
    Also, I would like to star/bookmark certain cards the way I do with regular documents. A separate study option for bookmarked cards would be super useful.

  4. It will be extremely useful if the highlighter tool automatically snapped to the text in the document.

  6. There should be some middle ground for the answer. I mean currently there are only 2 options, “i know” “i dont know” it will be great if you add two more like “i knew it partially “ and “i knew it but took effort to get there”. And one more suggestion if it contains nested subfolders. It will be great.

  7. Please make a chromeOS version and/or and android compatible, since ChromeOS can emulate android app through Googel Play Store.
    Most of students in Brazil use chrome devices

  8. As a digital journaller/planner, I want to be able to insert photos and then crop them into a perfect shape eg square, circle etc. I haven’t found a way to do this in Goodnotes.

  9. 1) while copying and pasting text from one document to other opened in same window ,in addition to providing dedicated copy paste option , add a drag and drop feature
    2) if we have to copy and paste multiple times then everytime it switches tool to text styling and it disturbs the work flow and affects productivity ....it would be better if tool selection in every tab can be fixed , so we dont have to swicth tool from text styling to any other for copying again

  10. Someone who's learning Japanese may face the same problem as me. Every time I need to write/insert the Furigana (pronunciation of Kanji) manually for the Kanji that I don't know how to read. It would be great if there's a button to do that automatically like MS Word and ios Pages.

  11. Hi.

    I am a user who is using Good Note with Galaxy Tab S7 Plus.

    1. Frame Drop
      Every time I turn the page, I keep seeing frame drop differently from other apps.
      (+ Zoom in, Zoom out)

    2. Laser pointer
      Unlike IOS, it is a pity that there is no laser pointer function.

    3. S pen
      Functionality (eraser) for the Spen button is not provided.
      (Samsung S Pen and LAMYS Pen)

    4. Dual Screen mode
      I hope the dual screen function that allows you to view multiple PDFs at once is supported.

    5. Voice file
      It's the same for IOS, but I'd like to…

  12. Is it possible to have a Keynote style magic move feature?
    I know Goodnotes is primarily a not taking app but I love the laser with tracking feature and use it for presentations all the time.
    The only thing that takes me back to keynotes is their magic move which is also brilliant, they have static laser which is nowhere near s as good.
    Miro also has an animation feature which I use with ability to write on screen but they don’t have this laser.
    If Goodnotes could have animation for presentation, that would be a solid feature.
    Thanks

  13. For example the option that recognizes what you are drawing for more complex forms like hexagons or hyperbolic function would probably help expecially for a more scientific use.

  14. When working with numerous graphs, it is challenging to achieve curves that accurately capture the trends of my data or functions. It would be beneficial to have more freedom in drawing curves. Adding additional points beyond the standard three would take the app to the next level

  15. When I write my iPad heats up and drains the battery , I see this issue has not even been a priority for goodnotes users like my self

    When will it be fixed and not just worked on being fixed ?

    I love your app but if I can get more screen time, less heat and less drainage I’ll move to another app

    Also please include some organization for the folders I like some of the organization but it can feel overwhelming this being all over the place I like ABCD organization it’s terrible

    Thanks

  16. If I have a line at any arbitrary angle and wanted to draw another line at the same angle, it would be nice to have a feature that would give me the option. Similar to notability or PowerPoint, matching object dimensions, angles, or even centers of concentric circles would be amazing. As a physics student, I have to draw many diagrams and often times I will either have a terrible diagram because i know I won’t have time to make a nice drawing with matching dimensions or I miss crucial information while trying to get my lines to be the…

  17. I've been loving Goodnotes on my ipad, one of my favourites of all time. On my PC it's pretty useless for now tho. Knowing it's still in beta, I would like to put my request to prioritize developing writing tool in Windows version. Like on IOS devices you can click on text tool and start typing, I would love to see that feature available for desktop users. Anyways, love to see the app evolving.

  18. I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude for the GoodNotes application that you have developed. It has been tremendously helpful in my daily studies and work, providing an excellent and convenient platform for recording and organizing my thoughts.

    While I am satisfied with many features of GoodNotes, there is a particular function that I believe could further enhance the application if incorporated. This is the ability to adjust the format of handwriting. I've noticed that we can already modify the color of our strokes, which is a very practical feature. However, if we could also adjust the thickness…

  19. Tap to turn. The app is for ipad, it’s unintuitive then that the flash card starts on typing and you have to tap into a different screen to start writing with stylus. Generally, no one using goodnotes is trying to type their things. I also don’t like having to go in and out in and out to write the question and then it’s answer, I suggest having a double tap feature where the card in question is able to flip for ease of editing either sides.

  20. At the moment one can switch from the document viewer to the file explorer … but not the other way around. From a UI / UX standpoint, this flaw is very frustrating.

    This problem was raised several years ago but apparently ignored. The currently suggested 'solution' (to use the search button and select a document from there) just does not cut it. A 'hack' is never a good solution to a design flaw.
