  1. Its great that Goodnotes is using flash card and similar spaced repetition to ANKI. We need the ability to create and share flash cards between the windows PC and Ipad. So i can create flash cards on a windows pc and then sync to my ipad and vice versa.

  2. It would be nice if we could also rearrange flash cards once they’ve been created, instead of having to take the time out to copy the info, duplicate a card in the desired spot, clear the newly duplicated card, and paste/rewrite all the info.

  3. EN: The ability to label/ write flashcards just like regular notes (i.e. picture, pencil and text AT ONCE, not just one of them at a time).
    Post’its and stickers are welcome as well.

    DE: Die Möglichkeit, Karteikarten wie normale Notizen zu beschriften/schreiben (d.h. Bild, Stift und Text AUF EINMAL, nicht nur eines davon).
    Post'its und Aufkleber sind ebenfalls willkommen.

  5. Zoom out. The cards when you test them get zoomed out, because it’s a flash card you don’t really want to have too much on each one. It would be good if you could zoom away from a card so as to write in your normal sized handwriting on each one. I’m having to use giant pen strokes as if I’m writing on a whiteboard so that they’re legible when I study with them.

  6. Currently when you go to Thumbnails it always starts at page 1. This can be inconvenient during lectures when you don't have a lot of time to lose during the writing of your notes.

    For example of you have a pdf with about 100 pages and you are currently at page 60. If you want to go back about ten pages from where you're at (so to p.50). Then you need to scroll all the way down from p.1 to p.50 instead of just 10 pages up.

    This is even more inconvenient if you don't know the exact page number…

  7. The new feature for writing over the whole page definitely needs adjustable fonts, as well as writing exactly in the lines of the template

  8. It would great if you can see all comments you wrote in one book together. Perhaps under the field outlines "see all comments".

  9. Automate AI that, when performing a search within a document, automatically includes OCR text and handwritten text. This may take a few seconds to render by request. Totally worth it.

  10. Add an option in settings where the pages flip over like a real book does. Like the iOS reading app does.

  11. So, basically, I got .goodnotes file (digital planner imported from pdf) and when I make export file as pdf editable with annotations and background - it creates pdf file (yeey) but most part of hyperlinks are missing, or some layer of text is missing.
    For example - hyperlink to January, February will work, but April will not. Also I did re-check exported pdf into foxit reader - and it also shows that there is no particular hyperlinks but my main file do has. So it means, there is this annoying bug.

    Also, on iPad 9th gen Goodnotes 5 (last updated…

  12. I think these two text alignment buttons in apple notes- as shown in the attached image -give more freedom and more alignment degrees than the 3 buttons options in goodnotes which are less functioning( i.e. just extreme right , center , extreme left )

  14. It would be of most use if a specific note on the sheet could be associated with an audio file saved in the notes. For example there could be a dot that prompts to the audio saved (the same way comments work), while also being able to change its name and description!

  15. After the latest update that allows the user to add more than 3 colours, the stroke menu has morphed into this menu that you must click on to expand first and only then will it allow you to choose stroke sizes. Nobody has asked for the latter and please restore it. Thank you

  16. The ability to create fast flashcards by using the lasso tool on notebooks.

    Currently, to study and get asked with the study mode we have to adapt our notes to flashcards mode.

    This is really annoying: we have to do all the notes of our notebooks in a Flashcard template, or we have to write again our notes in the flashcards in the Study set.

    Is really tedious and redundant to create notes and afterward to write again your notes in flashcards(my current situation)

    I believe we should add the next feature:

    • The availity in a notebook to create Questions/answers…

  18. It'd be amazing to have Pop-up Notes. Say you're working on a paper with a dense list of questions that you'd like to answer in the same notebook. It'd be good to be able to create a Popup note (UI wise could just be a circular note icon that expands) in an area that you choose, so when you click on it a popup comes up that lets you write within that new popup.

    This would also be cool for marking or writing extra notes that you don't want directly onto a document.

  19. Love the new voice memos feature, I wish that they were easier to use though. I would appreciate it if the names could be edited after recording, and if they could be linked to and played by a voice memo sticker on the page.

  20. I am really enjoying the Flashcard template.

    However, I like my notes to be as neat as possible. It would be great if templates for lined and squared paper Flashcards could be created for when writing out the Flashcards, but when studying them, the lines/grid lines are removed to look as though your hand written notes are all aligned and not wonky! :)
