  1. I noticed that I can create a notebook on Android from a picture file. On my iPad I regularly do that and then add more picture files to the notebook. But when I share the notebook and try to open on Android or Windows that does not work. When creating a notebook from a PDF file it works a charm.

    I use Goodnotes as a digital puzzle magazine and copy/past puzzles from a newspaper.

    Maybe I missed something but can't seem to get sharing a notebook made up from picture files working

  2. In MacOS, the scroll handle is far too small. It is very hard to "grab" onto using a mouse. Please make it larger and easier to interact with.

  3. Goodnotes is an excellent note taking app, however the functionality on a Macbook is extremely limited. I bought the full version of Goodnotes just to use it for my Mac as I don't have an Ipad but it seems like the app is strictly only for Ipads. There are so many minor problems that I run into that it is really frustrating to use. Its obvious that the mac version is just a copy and paste of the Ipad version... so I suggest working on the usability of goodnotes for people that primarily use their laptops. This app is the…

  4. Improving the Access For Convince in terms of portability; Having the feature to scan through the flash cards on mobile phones would be the best for always on the go learners.

  5. Es wäre gut wenn man beim lernen mit den Lernkarten auch in die Karten reinzoomen könnte und so die Karten vergrößern könnte. Vor allem wenn man mal am iPhone lernen möchte oder einfach an einem kleineren Geräten.

  6. I want to add further information (audio recording) to already existing notes. So that it is possible to tap on a word to play the audio recording.

  7. I'd like to transition to using GoodNotes exclusively for studying because of its fantastic study set feature. However, I'm facing a challenge in exporting my flashcards from Anki to GoodNotes. The problem arises due to the presence of pictures and highlights in my flashcards. It would be greatly appreciated if a solution could be found to address this issue.

  8. Search by filtering stickers.
    I use the stickers to highlight important passages of the texts; it would be very useful to filter the pages where there are some stickers or, even better, being able to search and filter for a specific sticker.
    Thanks

  9. Just like how you can add new presets for text color, allow users to edit the presets for the text boxes.

  12. When hitting the return key for zoom window have it return to the next line under the first character of the previous written line. When taking hierarchical notes it’s annoying to have to constantly move the box manually and truly makes it unusable for taking notes this way. Adding a dotted reference to the start of the first character would also be helpful.

  13. While using the app, especially in landscape mode to view lecture slides which are typically 16:9 inches you're unable to zoom out enough to view multiple slides at once.

    You're able to do so while holding down but when released it snaps back to the initial size. Please it possible to remain at the perspective it was while zoomed out when you release the screen.

  14. Lines telling users that what they’ve written down is align with others in another line. Also, when using a squared paper, I mean now we can move it freely without any lock when we move pass through those grid lines. But it would be better, if the words we’ve written down are stayed or locked on the grid line.

  15. This way, each heading can have a user-defined default color, and you don't have to change it every time.

    This would pair nicely with keyboard shortcuts.

  16. Drawing Mathematical equations on a graph by hand is pretty exhausting. Especially, when Goodnotes doesnt really make it possible to draw them accurate.

    I would love to add a window to my GoodNote document where I can interactively plot a function like f(x)= x + ln(x).
    A kind of GeoGebra implementation in the document would be cool.
    That would help all the people who
    -are still in school
    -are studying something scientific
    -are working in a technical profession

  17. I have a notebook I’ve purchased that I want to get the original formatting and I can’t do that because it doesn’t show up in the store anymore and I would like to see my in app purchases history to redownload a new version of the notebook I already have. There needs to be a search history and search feature in the app so we can find these things.

  19. I need the ability to change the “creation date” of a note.

    This, along with the ability to sort by creation date would allow a reasonable sort of my notes as I sometimes need to write notes referring to previous day.

    Without this, as manual sorting is not an option and wouldn’t make real sense for many people I guess, GoodNotes becomes unusable as it quickly turns into a mess.
