  1. Sorry for the long title; I love the flashcard feature and use it every day in medical school and I am being able to study extremely effectively and learn the material while still having free time in my life.

    But If I could select certain flashcards within a single document by marking them with a certain signal to allowing me to study the flashcards I made for the first lecture before I study the next classes flashcards which build off the first lectures material. And even allowing me to mark certain flashcards "VIP" cards that amalgamate from all the notebook's…

  3. It is very annoying to have an original pdf where original dimensions are larger than the default A4 pages of goodnotes.

    If I want to add a blank page to take supplementary notes, I have to struggle with that.

  4. I'm not sure where does Goodnotes automatically save when I turn off auto back up to cloud storage. Goodnotes doesn't have status to show is it now saving to the device. i.e. loading or syncing symbols that have rotating arrow and say file saved when finish saving.

    More over, Goodnotes usually hangs (or crashes?). It hangs and auto show my iPad's home screen.

    I suggest 2 ideas to improve how to save.
    1) Add saving staus bar and symbol to show is the file saving to somewhere like MS office. For example "Saving to your local storage." or "Saving to…

  5. I adore GoodNotes and am happy to pay for each new version. But just please, don’t force users into a terrible subscription service that is against App Store rules. Keep doing what you’re doing, I’ll keep paying when it’s time for an upgrade. I really love this app, I really do.

  7. I would like to request a feature that converts handwriting into text. I know that the current lasso tool can do it, but what I asked for is a tool similar to lasso. Circle the text and it converts to text and replaces the original handwriting. This will be easier to convert current handwriting into text, also easier than the text tool.

  8. The mouse wheel scrolling work within the IU, the menu, the thumbnail view, etc. Yet it DOES NOT work on the notebook contents. It even works on the iPad but it DOES NOT work on the Mac version.

  9. There should be an endless page option. The actual page dimensions available are typical of a paper notebook. Turn digital! See apple notes app where there is no limit. Simple!

  12. The only thing goodnotes is lacking is the ability to lock images so you can not move it, say i have a background image, notes on top and another image on top of the notes i could not lock the background image and just move the top notes and image, it's so frustrating for journaling.

  14. Currently GoodNotes is only available to Apple Users.
    If GoodNotes became available to Windows users, this would broaden their platform and reach over 100 million students.
    Most college students are on a tight budget - by reaching the Windows platform you are reaching approximately 70% of college students

    Make GoodNotes available for Windows/PC users.

  15. Now it only support one level outline, but it's far from enough for me. I really need multi-level outlines to better manage my notes, especially for many professional textbooks whose content is very complicated.

    Please add this feature!

    And if the multi-level outlines can support expand and collapse according to the level, it will be much better!

    Thank you so much!

  16. I'm using GN intensiv and missing one important feature: Virtual Notebook(s) based on a search. This feature should be similar to the intelligent folder in apple mail. I'd like to define a search by keyword as a Virtual notebook. This will help me to quickly get an overview on all pages wich belongs to my key word(s). Having multiple virtual notebooks will help me organizing my self even better.
    It should be possible to read and write in the virtual notebook. Adding a new page should optional add a text box with the key words.

    Use Case: I'm using GN…

  17. 給開發者:

    Goodnotes無疑是款好用的筆記app,不用我再寫他的優點、以下提出幾處能夠優化之處,麻煩您:

    打字的顏色:

    打字的顏色無法新增顏色,只能每次都重新挑一次色碼,這點希望盡快改善(但可以直接更新成:打字的顏色盤跟畫筆的顏色盤共用,我相信這點更新並不困難,但是能大幅改善使用體驗,非常重要)

    打字換色的快捷鍵:

    畢竟就在打字了,還要用手來換顏色實在太不盡人意了,因此希望能將顏色盤前九個顏色設定九個快捷鍵(例如cmd + Ctrl +數字)(當然顏色要如上一點所說,能夠和畫筆的顏色盤同步才能自訂)

    文字的行距:

    如同大家所知,方格筆記還是最實用的筆記,但是打字的話很難對齊格子,因此修改行距就變得格外重要,但是當前版本的行距修改完後,下次又變回預設值,無法如同字型及文字大小等設定成預設行距,每次調整真的不是很聰明,而且希望行距能用輸入的。

    跨頁問題:

    希望能將選取物直接拖拉到另一頁,而不用一直剪下貼上。在打字方面,希望能如隔壁陣營(Notability)一樣能在整張紙前面有一排能輸入字元的地方,而不用全部都要用文字框,因為毎打大篇的筆記(例如英文單字),如果是用文字框的話,在其中新增個幾行或刪減個幾行,那文字框就又可能超出頁面顯示範圍,這樣就要把多出來的剪下到下一頁,同理,下一頁又會多出來一些,—直剪貼,非常的不人道,希望能新增這個功能(在文件最前面新增一列能插入字元的位置「如同Word, Notability」)

    這幾點是我目前遇到最大的幾個問題,希望開發者能真實的聽到我們使用者的聲音,為使用者們做優化、調整!!!

    我也是真心喜歡這個軟體,才會花那麼多時間打這篇文章,希望你們能理解然後做出更新,我會繼續支持你們,加油!!!

    !!!期待你們的更新!!!

  18. Please add two-factor authentication whenever I want to open my document for maximum security.
    I am a medical student and I do not want my classmates to steal my notes and surpass me.
    Moreover, receiving an email or a text message when the document is opened would be extremely useful.
    Thank you for reading and voting for the idea. Never give up your privacy!

  19. Currently keyboard shortcut for Element is not enabled. even though it is stated as M upon hovering over the button.

    also an option to not leave element tool after adding an element will be nice. it'll be useful when catching up on the older task during bullet journalling.
