  1. I hope there will be a thumbnail/favorite/overview in the study set, just like when writing a regular notebook. It would be great to change the order of the study set or see various menus at a glance.

    Thanks you!

  3. It would be great to have an edit opportunity while studying flash cards.
    Searching the current flash card in large notebooks to edit small mistakes is time consuming.

  4. I’m in favor of ridding the laser pointer icon and placing an Audio recording button instead. Along with only having the master button pop up during presentation mode .

    Could maybe even allow some to choose what icons show preferably over others

  5. When GoodNotes starts in the Documents Home view, I usually already have several notebooks open that I'm working in. In order to get to those notebooks (and the tabs displaying them) I have to go find and open a notebook that is already "open." From the Documents Home view, I would love to have a list of already open notebooks to go directly there upon app launch.

  6. Add an undo function that allows a template change to be undone. I’ve lost lecture note slides when trying to change the template of a blank page inserted between the slides.

  7. Please add a countdown timer ⏲ widget in the app that can be displayed on the page. Even if this is not possible, maybe just implement preset 1min, 2min, 3min, 5min etc... Gifs that display a timer.

  10. Say you import a pdf file and only take notes/highlight/annotate on certain pages. It would be great to have a window/overview or something where you can see only those pages you wrote something on instead of having to look through the whole file :) (like in notability)

  11. Through log in to a GoodNotes account we should be able to synch data between several devices. (iCloud is sometimes not allowed on company devices). Or allow central data storage (not only backup) at google drive, etc.

  12. Put the old snare editor back. The new one is unintuitive and unhelpful. Instead of being able to edit a shape I get nonsensical points to move around.

  13. I truly appreciate the powerful note-taking experience that GoodNotes offers. However, I would love to see a Pin Notes feature and a Quick Access Folder option to enhance workflow efficiency.

    Currently, navigating between different notes for ongoing study, work, or projects requires extra steps, which can be time-consuming. A pinned notes section would allow users to keep frequently used documents easily accessible.

  14. I love the tape feature, but it’s annoying that the PDF backups of my goodnotes files on google drive have tape on them. It’s useful if it’s in the app, but it’s not for backups. Goodnotes, please fix this! Give us an option to remove tape on backups and exports.

  15. When I type too much text and it goes beyond the bottom of the page, the overflow text doesn't automatically get added to the next page - I need to manually add it.

    Could you make it so that when the text goes beyond the bottom of the page, it gets automatically added to the next page to prevent the need for manual intervention?

    This would allow for a smoother and faster note-taking experience.

  16. Are there plans to support the new iPad Pencil "Hover" feature in GoodNotes soon? This feature provides awareness of where the pencil will start writing or drawing before the pencil is on the iPad screen. This helps with both drawing and writing accuracy.

  17. I love the flashcard feature. But the flashcard display has got to be bigger: full screen. I put my maths theorems on flashcards and the text gets quite small.

    I need to be able to zoom in, and treat them like a normal page while I'm doing the flashcards.

    Also, it would be great to have space to write out your attempt at the flashcard before you reveal the answer. At the minute I have to open a document in a new tab.

  19. I want to simply scan parts of a document as a picture, to insert into the middle of my written note instead of as a new page.

  20. Currently if we choose vertical or horizontal scrolling it applies to all the documents, it would be good if we can choose to apply it to all documents or just the current document. For eg, I prefer vertical scrolling for my worksheets/slides from school and horizontal scrolling for my own notes (so it's really like a notebook).
