  1. Having an option to disable the smart learn mode for a given study set feels essential. As of now, a study set that I used Smart Learn mode on one time keeps notifying me in the menu forever, while I don’t need to learn it anymore.

    This also risks keeping me from finding the sets that I need to study now, in the midst of all past study sets.

    I don’t want to delete them, I just wish I could disable the smart learn mode/notifications for specific sets.

  2. PDF around the page, not very smooth, can you improve the page effect? I'm referring to the sensitivity of PDF page-turning, as I didn't have this problem with Notability

  4. When starting up the app on the Mac, the window always has the same size.
    So, always the first action is to resize it, so I can see my relevant folders.
    If the app would just keep the size across restarts, it would be a more fluent work experience.

  5. When arranging objects I would like to be able to send back and forward some items between items. If I have more than two overlapping objects, it’s a pain to place objects in the order I want. For example, there are apps the send the object completely to the back or front, but I can also send forward or backwards the object not entirely to the back. I don’t want to send back an object but then have to send front the other and the other to have them in the correct arrangement. This happens when working a collage or…

  7. Hello, I would like to transfer the passages in the text that I have marked with the highlighter into a summary. The summary should work in the same way as in the LiquidText or MargineNote 4 program.

  9. I would like the highlight tool to work as a copy select tool works. When moving the pen along page we will be able to highlight. As well as implementing tapping to remove highlights.

    Instead of having to lift pen to move down a row to highlight you just glide over the selected text you would like to highlight.

    It would be much more efficient this way. I noticed this inconvenience when switching to apples book reading tool and highlighting in there was much more seamless. Thank you for taking the time to read this if you did.

  11. I think it would be very helpful to have the ability to give the files colour tags similar to the files app by apple. And then maybe a select option on the sidebar where you can select between your colour tags.

  15. I’ve been using the app extensively for note-taking and organization, and I believe that the addition of a toggle menu feature would be incredibly beneficial. This feature could streamline navigation and provide a more efficient way to access different sections within the app. By allowing users to toggle between various menus seamlessly, it would make the overall experience more intuitive and user-friendly.

  16. I’m loving the flashcard feature so far, but I have a friend that uses another app that let him to allocate photos and text in the same card and i thought this ideia would improve a lot my studies, and another suggestion that i have in mind is to allow the share feature in the flash cards, because i would like to have a group of studies with my colleagues, tks!

  19. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I am writing to share some feedback that I believe could significantly enhance the user experience of your application on Windows.

    Customizable Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts:

    It would be immensely helpful if users were granted the ability to customize their own keyboard and mouse shortcuts. This personalization would allow for a smoother workflow and could cater to the individual preferences and habits of each user.

    Default Cursor Tool:

    I have noticed that the app currently requires users to manually select the cursor or image tool to perform basic actions like selecting elements or moving images. For an…

  20. As I do not need the reminder to learn old study sets of the past semester, I would really look forward to establishing the possibility to deactivate study sets with regards to smart learning. Otherwise I always have to delete my studysets to get no notification any more.
