  2. One of the key ways OneNote is useful is the organization of sub-tab structure so one class notebook can have multiple sections. I have to swipe right a million times to get to my notes for class number 9 in a syllabus.

  3. Currently it is possible to create cards in a study set for both typed and image based cards that are black background with white text. Writing the cards by hand however forces the background to be white.

    This is incredibly jarring when I am trying to study and I would very much like to create handwritten cards with a dark background and lighter text.

  4. As a biology student all of my chemical formulas and math for all my classes has to either be hand drawn or inserted with screenshots from textbooks. I love the combination of being able to write and type, but for simple formulas it would be much easier to just be able to type them. Especially exponents and sub scripts, those would be the most important

    Sometimes you can get them to work with copy and paste but then it alters the entire page text alignment with the lines on the page.

  5. Be able to remove tape in the entire deck with one button rather than for a page because when exporting I donโ€™t want the tape, or a button to export without tape

  7. share FOLDERS with each other not just specific files or documents. I am a long time user of Goodnotes (about 6/7 years now). I have seen the amazing changes to this platform. However, recently, I received a school iPad and am forced to make a new account. Sharing files from my old account to my new account has been a real hassle. is there a way to share folders across different devices? This would be HUGE game changer.

  8. Sorry, dear Goodnotes team, but sth is not cool with the new update 7.0.3 Whenever I want to draw a closed shape, it makes it all wobbly and creates some kind of text field out of it. Whatโ€™s happening? How can I make it stop? I donโ€™t need text fields, I use always my handwriting.

  9. As a long-term power user of GoodNotes, I have accumulated a large number of folders on my home page over years of use. Currently, folders can only be sorted by creation date, last modified date, name, or file type. I often spend a great deal of time scrolling to locate my frequently accessed, important folders.
    I sincerely hope the development team can add a folder pinning to top feature. This simple function would greatly streamline file navigation and save users ample browsing time.
    I have always admired the overall design and experience of GoodNotes, and this is the most anticipatedโ€ฆ

  10. Before, you could make a shape with a fill color, and erase the filler separately from the shape outline. Now, you canโ€™t even erase the outline and leave just the filling, or vice versa.

  11. Introducing the Polish language would make the app much easier to use for Polish-speaking users and make it more accessible to a wider audience.

    I hope you will consider this suggestion when planning future updates. I would greatly appreciate it if you could take this request into consideration.

    Kind regards,
    An App User

  12. I think Goodnotes Smart Learn seriously needs a daily card limit system similar to Anki.

    Right now Smart Learn can become very aggressive with recommendations when you have a huge number of flashcards.

    Imagine being a med student with:

    • separate study sets for every chapter
    • thousands of flashcards
    • eventually 20,000โ€“30,000+ total cards

    At that scale, unlimited recommendations can become stressful and mentally overwhelming.

    I think there should be a feature where users can set:
    โ€œSmart Learn can only recommend X cards todayโ€

    Example:

    • Today limit = 200 cards
    • Smart Learn then intelligently chooses the MOST important 200 cards from allโ€ฆ

  13. I need to be able to swipe through the flashcards IN THE EDITOR. I do NOT want to go back to thumbnail view, click on the next card, check if it has an error, go back to thumbnail view, swipe down, click the next card, remember which card I just opened, etc! I donโ€™t want to do this to add a new flashcard either!!!!!

  15. I would like to be able to have more slots to add different preset lines. Right now, there is only 3 and I need more so that I can have one dedicated to dotted lines as well as different widths because I do not want to sacrifice the three I already have.

  16. Exact Phrase Search โ€“ The search function can sometimes be too broad. An โ€œExact Phrase search option would be very useful for finding specific words or phrases without unrelated results.

    1. Default Font for Sticky Notes โ€“ Please add an option to set a default font, font size, and formatting specifically for Sticky Notes, so users donโ€™t have to manually change the font every time they create a new one.

  17. Please add a public API and developer resources so files can be automatically imported and organized into folders by class, week, and lecture. Better automation support would make Goodnotes much more powerful for students and developers building academic workflows.

  18. Please add a feature to convert handwritten or scribbled chemical structures into printed ones.
    There is no good app or tool on the market for this.
    I am thinking similar to the math converter.

  20. Built-in browser or web search panel

    When working on a note, project, or research database, I often need to look up information on Google or check the reference on the website.

    With an in-app browser or a small search panel, users can browse and take notes without leaving good notes, creating a smoother and more efficient workflow.
