  1. When I download .pdf files such as study guides for my classes, I love to highlight each question and add a comment to it which allows me to use active recall and organize the answers directly to the comments, this is awesome!

    What would compliment this is allowing whatever is highlighted with an embedded comment, to also have an option to view both the highlighted part and it’s comments in it’s own page! For example, I would love to share my comments that I have made for the questions on my study guide, and have what I’ve typed already attached…

  3. It’s inconvenient to exit document to open user guide, search and go back to open document to practice. When it doesn’t work, I have to repeat steps, closing and searching.

    Currently Split View only opens other apps.

  4. When on a certain document and you hit the back arrow, it should open up to that folder and not the recent folder you were in.

  5. All very nice, but the keyboard function should be improved to beat the competitiveness that this app certainly has. First of all, many layout customization functions should be added, the possibility of adding and creating tables, the possibility of dividing the writing page into two columns when desired without distorting the rest of the page which must remain in one column, the possibility of having greater customization. And finally, another thing to take into consideration are the gestures that should be made in the presence of output such as a mouse or anything specific. I'm sorry if your understanding of…

  6. Goodnotes and Notability should join forces and combine all their good factors and ideas to create a super note taking app. You could call it
    'Supernote'. All other name ideas can be mentioned in comments.
    Thank you!

  7. It would be great to have an option to decide if the automatically create form is filled with full colours (just like the outline) or pastel colours (like it is now)

  8. Study sets are great and i love this feature very much but i think some additional improvements will make it extremely useful and great.
    For example how much I remember the cards, if there is multiple option as in Anki such as easy, good, hard & again rather than know it or not will improve smart learn and add filter cards queue, some cards i forget it at all while others i just forget a little bit of it so the only two option make them equal.

    Although if there is an option for backward of cards as I accidentally…

  12. When you open the index card overview, the font is usually far too small to really read what is written on the cards. You should be able to change the size of the cards by swiping or dragging them larger and smaller. Then you can read the cards and don't have to search for a long time.

  14. Would like the ability to toggle the page number to stay on at all times. Also the ability to tap the page number to search for different pages. Where is the scroll bar? It is not intuitive having to use your finger in order to see the page number and go into the settings to search for a specific page number.

  16. I purchased a few sticker packs and noticed that when downloaded to Elements the stickers are randomly sorted which makes it impossible to find stickers by category. The app currently does not include functionality to sort these easily. However it would make more sense that these were downloaded in the order of category of the sticker pack.

  17. we used to be able to take a screenshot on our Macbooks and drag them to insert into a note, now you have to insert a photo on the ipad. This just makes the process 10 times longer, really wish this feature could come back, I don't know why it was removed in the first place from good notes 5

  19. I would like to archive certain sets of flashcards so they will not pop up in the daily summary of flashcards to learn.

    This way I could see right away which flashcard sets I have to learn today without having to search the list of all my flashcard sets.

    I want to hide the sets that I do not need to learn anymore without having to delete them completely.

  20. I'm missing an option where you can set the pencil as a finger only to navigate. It's very practicable for reading, so you can navigate with the pencil and switch to highlighting and back, for example. It also helps with clicking on hyperlinks. This way, the user doesn't have to switch between the pencil and their finger all the time.
