  2. The new feature that condensed the pen sizes into one button is clunky and adds two clicks to the process, and you have to change your grip to tap the screen with your finger to get rid of the drop down menu. Bring back the three buttons for pen sizes, at least in horizontal view.

  3. Sometimes the sync is brilliant, but other times I have to close and reopen the app over and over again.

    I hate having to do workarounds when there should be an easy fix. Like, just add a refresh/force sync button !!!!!!!!

  5. I take my notes on my IPad, but study on my Windows PC. Everytime I‘m forced to convert my notes to PDF and upload them to a cloud to be able to download and view them on the Windows PC. It‘d be amazing to have an application for Windows to sync, view and maybe edit my notes there.
    If it‘s not possible to create an application for Windows, could you develop an online app where I can view my notes, that are taken with the IPad, on my Windows PC?
    Maybe based on the example of OneNote

  7. In smaller iPads toolbar and document tabs take lot of working space.
    If toolbar can be shifted to left side of screen in landscape mode it will be of great help.

  9. If you want to add some extra points to your note, but you don't have that much space left, you can use the “insert note” feature, where a small icon can be placed anywhere in the note. When the icon is touched a small note pops up , where one can write. This feature is already there in other pdf annotating apps. I have attached screenshots of another app.

  10. Sometimes I copy text from Evernote into GoodNotes, but it's too long to fit on one page. Instead of continuing onto the next page, it disappears beneath it. Please make text boxes capable of spanning multiple pages.

  11. You can’t save or export highlights on PDFs imported into GoodNotes. But given GoodNotes is such a nice PDF reader, I want to do reading in GoodNotes and then be able to use the content I’ve highlighted elsewhere, e.g. combine it with highlights in Pocket or Instapaper, as part of my research workflow. But at the moment the highlights are static and stuck in the app, so you have to go back through each reading 1 at a time. Enabling highlight exporting — especially if automated via Readwise — would be a gamechanger in allowing me to use GoodNotes for…

  14. The new function is great! I think however we could take better advantage of the space by making landscape cards that fill the screen and flip to reveal the answer, since it is very hard to read half page cards if they are small, especially if we can’t zoom in on them

  15. Long sentences I write curve down when using blank pages or creating flash cards. I’d like to enable an option to auto-straighten or auto-align my sentences.

  16. It would be great if you can use the apple pencil in studying mode to take notes for more complex answers or drawings.
    You could also use this feature to learn the structure of scientific models by leaving some information out at the front of the flashcard, fill them in and then compare with the solution after flipping the card. It would also be possible to put tasks like "Draw the xy-model" on the front page and the corrrect model on the back of the flashcard.
    To implement this solution a bigger display of the card would be helpful.

  19. I’m learning a tonal language and would love to be able to create separate recordings for my notes. One Note has audio recording ability, but it’s ONE single clip. I’d like to be able to write a word or phrase and put a sound clip associated with it.

    A wolf sounds like :
    A coyote sounds like:

    Just make this feature already = I see request for recording that is 9 years old ....you’re so close to a perfect product

  20. When I use the rotate button for a photo, it is difficult, if not impossible to avoid resizing the photo as well. I often overlay maps to show size comparisons with unfamiliar places to ones I am familiar with. I would also love the ability select marks and drawings and rotate them, again, without resizing. I could then trace items on a map like a lake, and rotate and move them other areas on the map to compare sizes
