  2. When using text boxes, I can only tab across the screen to a certain extent (about 1/3 of the page width) before the cursor jumps to the next line. When trying to type around embedded images or handwritten notes, it’s extremely frustrating to use the tab key only so far and then have to press and hold the space bar for the cursor to go exactly where I want. It would be great if you added the ability to use the tab key across the entire page if we wanted to instead of having the cursor move to the next…

  3. In current version of “Study Set”, I cannot edit the content on the flash cards, which is really very inconvenient, since you always find some mistakes or imperfections on your own handwriting. In this case, I sensitively hope you can allow editing by Apple Pencil (everyone use only fingers to flip flash cards) directly when in the “Smart Learn” mode as well as “Practice” mode. This function really matters and completely reasonable, please add it ASAP. THANKS!

  5. My niece is using Goodnotes in school and she is visually impaired. The "zoom in" is not enough for here to properly see text or to write herself. In other apps e.g. "PDF Expert", the zoom can enlarge the screen more than it can be enlarged in GoodNotes. If you fix that, I will be grateful.

  6. I see you now have Android Beta. However, you only wish to support 8-inch tablets or larger. What about people like me who use note phone for my daily studies? I write my notes on my phone and use other apps. I consider my Samsung Note 10+ a reliable note-taking app. It would be lovely if you consider also consider other note phone devices too as we also use a pen anyway and are used the size of our screens. Thanks!

  7. The current search function can only see the file, not the file path. For those who have created a folder in the wrong place, it is painful not to find this folder through the search function. I have to open each folder to check where the folder is, and the search function has no effect at this time. I want the search function to tell me where the file or folder is like the search function of the Windows system.

  8. Whenever I type and sometimes my hand rests on the ipad screen, the popup appears and it is really very frustrating. I have taken the one time subscription but still goodnote fails to provide the service.

  10. The search function within GoodNotes is a failed system. Anyone who has used GoodNotes and Notability knows that the search function of Notability is FAR superior. You can search for phrases, search within specific dividers and subjects, etc.

    If I were to search for “green house gases” in GoodNotes it would pull up every result for “green,” “house,” and “gases” in every single note stored within GoodNotes. It turns something that should produce 5-10 results into 500 results and renders the search completely useless.

    All I’m asking for is the ability to place words in brackets and pull the results…

  11. It would be nice if you use a sticker of a sticky note (for example) and you write on it you can select this sticker with the writing on it without selecting the text underneath the sticker. Just like in real life, you write something on a sticky note, stick it in your notebook and then remove it again without removing what's in your notebook.

  13. Changing the color of all a specific color. An example being able to change all the color red on a page/throughout the notebook into blue. Having to lasso colors to change it can be a slow process, so it would be nice if we could do it with a few clicks.

  14. I know ms word has this function but it would be really great if we could type arrows like insert symbol in MS Word.
    I know writing is the best way to remember, but sometimes I don’t have time to write slowly then being able to type a symbol is really helpful….. especially when you have a lot of notes to make.

  18. As my (and other's) studying method requires a lot of colours, I would like to be able to change the highliter or pen colour faster. So, I'm suggesting something like a detachable grid for colour selection or an option which allows me to visualize more than 3 rapid colour choices in the main bar (for instance, hiding through the settings menu the unused tools to make room for the ones that I use more frequently).
    In other words, I would like to customize my tool bar and make it more efficient to meet my specific needs. Is this possible?
    Thank…
