  1. GN works well on iphone/ipad. However, it is poorly optimized for Macbook (where many of us use it). Needed improvements: decrease memory use and battery drain, set standard window size, fix glitches leading to freezing and need to exit and restart.

  2. Being able to instantly make flashcards of your college slides. To be able to automatically have each slides as an answer, and only having to come up with a question relevant to the slide. Now I have to spend hours placing my college slides in the answer bar of the flashcards.

  3. Guten Tag
    Es wäre super, wenn es Vorlagen für Lernsets gäbe (z.B. kariert oder liniert)

    Zudem wäre es einen grossen Mehrwert, wenn die Lernsets wieder als pdf exportierbar wären.
    So sind die Karteikarten an die App gebunden und es ist kaum möglich diese offline zu repetieren, was sehr schade ist.
    Bei der Version 5 gab es diese Option!

  4. Please allow links to use with other apps. I love that it works with websites and other documents. But other apps also would be wonderful

  5. When using links and it comes to selecting page - we should be able to type in the page number instead of scrolling thru the whole document to select page.

  6. The new typing mode in GN6 has significantly enhanced its versatility. It would be even better if a highlight tool could be added to the typing mode, allowing users to directly apply highlights to text while typing.

  7. When you convert handwriting into text it would be great if every time it converted the text with the same font and color you have saved as default options

  9. It would be great to use the side buttons on a mouse (e.g., MX mouse) as a back and forward button (similar functionality in browsers).

  11. Covers imported directly from the market place are able to be grouped by the same cover. Custom imports should be able to also be categorized with different color options all together under one cover, instead of having them all separate in the same group.

  12. It would be great to add an option where you can „secure“ a picture on a page

    So, sometimes I add pictures to my pages with exercises for my students. But then, when I want them to write answers on them, they accidentally touch some spot on the page and the picture moves and the writing is underneath and so on. I know it’s possible to add a picture as a new page but sometimes I add several pictures on one page. Just please give me the option to securely add a picture to the page.

  13. I am talking about the GoodNotes version for macOS.
    On Mac, you can use the shortcut cmd + shift + 4 to take a screenshot of a selected area. However, this also changes the scrolling mechanism from scrolling through a document to zooming in or out of a document.

    I hope there is no existing post on this topic yet.

  14. (For larger documents) allow a way to type the page you want to go to, instead of scrolling through (thumbnails) to find it

  15. It would be nice to type and edit math expressions in the notes from MacOS Goodnotes. The same should apply to desktop/web versions.

    There are text editors out there that allow me to enter MathJax text between $ (dollar) signs that is rendered into the math formulae.

    It would be very handy if we could do the same from Goodnote Desktop/Web versions. (Math conversion from handwritten text is great, but it is not always the fastest way to enter complicated formulae.)

  16. I wish there was a feature that allows you to set a notification (not like the current one), but with a random question from a study set throughout the day, I would like to receive a notification to test myself at any time of the day. I think it would be very useful to maintain focus, even for those study sets that we have forgotten.

  18. It would be better if there would be an option to have a one or two-page screen (especially for us visual learners). Also, a side tab line which scrolls you throughout the pages in the screen. This feature would be a great help to easily see photographically the pages of the notes/pdfs just like in actual setting.

  19. The eraser tool has an option to erase only the marker. It would be interesting if you could choose to delete only the text written with the pen tool

  20. When using the marker tool, if the underline is short (for example, a single word), the line is no longer straight, even though this option is selected
