  2. Sometimes I’m searching for many different textbooks and I don’t know which is already opened. I really wish that you can choose to leave the tabs of textbooks open while navigating through all the folders. It would be also a lot easier to get back to the document without opening a second one or going back through folders to the one that’s already opened.

  5. Ask goodnotes is a good thing but needs some pretty obvious, low hanging improvements to be really usable.
    When you mark a text and do "ask good notes", and then you want to repeat it for a different text, there's no reason why you should tap ask goodnotes again, the selection inside the "ask goodnotes" tab should automatically get updated.

  6. I am writing to suggest some features that I believe would enhance the user experience of GoodNotes.
    As a regular GoodNotes user on both iPad and Mac, I would like to propose the addition of Page Up and Page Down functionality. Currently, users need to manually click the up and down buttons to navigate between pages, which is rather cumbersome and time-consuming.
    Additionally, I would appreciate having a dedicated keyboard shortcut for the "fit to page" view function, which is currently accessed by double-tapping. This would streamline the workflow significantly.
    These additions would greatly improve the navigation efficiency and overall…

  8. in a lot of my notes I like to separate categories/ideas/sub topics in boxes. My notes are color-coded. Most of the time it is a struggle to make the boxes Around my fonts. I do a layered pen design with two separate colors. It would be amazing to have better pen presets that allow total customization.

  9. I have all my notes for medical school on goodnotes. It often happens that we have the same topic in different subjects. So it would be so great if there was a „collections“ feature where I can collect all notes regarding a certain topic from different documents without it being removed from the original document or folder.
    Just like when marking certain pages of my document, there could be a function „add to collection“ and then these pages are shown when I open the collection, but also when I open the document.

  10. For me, it would be so important to just write down my extra-thoughts next to the actual page. It could be designed as „post it“ that os not on top of the page it self, but next to it, or just blanc space next to the actual page.
    I mean, theoretically there is unlimited space in Goodnotes, but I can‘t use it properly to write my thoughts right next to the related notes.
    In my opinion, it would be a pretty basic and uncomplicated feature that would make such a huge difference for me!

  11. Suggestion:

    GoodNotes currently offers a library of pre-designed templates for various purposes, such as meeting notes, to-do lists, and calendars. However, these templates are currently stored in a separate "Library" section, making it difficult to organize and access them alongside other documents.

    Proposed Solution:

    Implement a feature that allows users to organize purchased templates within their existing folder structure. This would enable users to:

    Create dedicated folders for specific template types: For example, a folder for "Meeting Notes Templates," another for "To-Do List Templates," etc.
    Easily access templates within their relevant folders: This would eliminate the need to navigate to…

  12. We should be able to duplicate the current page just like adding a page, in the same menu. Like in the image I am attaching, In the Add Page menu it should also include Duplicate page. Makes it easier, more accessible than going into the contents menu every time.

  15. Include both an image and a text box on the front of a flashcard (e.g., an image with a related question) would greatly enhance flexibility!!

  16. A search option for flashcards, similar to the notebook search, would make it much easier to find specific cards, especially in large sets.

  17. I’ve been enjoying Goodnotes for most of my classes, however I find when it comes to taking notes for my electric circuit analysis classes, my drawing ability on a tablet starts to lack. So I suggest including symbols for general ECE components into the shapes library OR have an option to create custom shapes (more applicable than just ECE) that could be added to the shapes library. I enjoy the shape-snap function because it’s quick, and I need that for those fast paced lectures.

  18. Hello
    I'm a user who was using a good note
    I hope that this feature will come out with good notes
    I'm using tape function as follows
    If I click tape function, Then, the tape function of the item disappears and appears, so it's very convenient
    But I think I'm going to disappear again at once again, so I think it's a little uncomfortable
    If any of the other buttons or tape functions are included, I suggest what it would be like to use the functions mentioned above

  19. It’s almost 2025 and GoodNotes has no feature to smooth and stabilize writing with the Apple Pencil. A lot of people prefer to hand write notes as using ‘scribble’ can be tedious at times, especially to those with poor handwriting which GoodNotes seems to ensure regardless of how well you write. I find it confusing that this wasn’t added a long time ago as it’s not a difficult feat compared to something like ‘word complete’ or other AI technology they have implemented is…
