  1. Allow goodnotes to auto create a folder where all the cards you need to smart review are allocated automatically each day so you don't need to dish through all your work to find them

  2. It would be nice to have a function where the notes can be read out to the user as some people are better audio learners. It would also help with reviewing materials while on the go or for multi-tasking.

  3. I noticed that I can create a notebook on Android from a picture file. On my iPad I regularly do that and then add more picture files to the notebook. But when I share the notebook and try to open on Android or Windows that does not work. When creating a notebook from a PDF file it works a charm.

    I use Goodnotes as a digital puzzle magazine and copy/past puzzles from a newspaper.

    Maybe I missed something but can't seem to get sharing a notebook made up from picture files working

  4. When you have folders within other folders to better organize notes, it becomes incredibly tedious to have to backtrack through previous folders to get to different ones. It would be much quicker if there was a sidebar that displayed the different folders so that its more seamless to navigate between folders/documents.

  5. Similar to the old school paper notebooks, I am having difficulty writing at the bottom of any page, as my hand is out of level from the notebook (iPad goodnotes) and I do not like leaving my pages half blank just because its a digital notebook.

    It will be very helpful to write with the same comfort level on the whole page if the bottom of the page can be pulled to the middle (at least while in Zoom) with non-writable blank space to put my palm on.

  6. Seamless page is especially crucial for moving images from one page to the other instead of needing to copy and paste if the image is on the wrong page.

  8. In MacOS, the scroll handle is far too small. It is very hard to "grab" onto using a mouse. Please make it larger and easier to interact with.

  9. Goodnotes is an excellent note taking app, however the functionality on a Macbook is extremely limited. I bought the full version of Goodnotes just to use it for my Mac as I don't have an Ipad but it seems like the app is strictly only for Ipads. There are so many minor problems that I run into that it is really frustrating to use. Its obvious that the mac version is just a copy and paste of the Ipad version... so I suggest working on the usability of goodnotes for people that primarily use their laptops. This app is the…

  10. Please add a function so that we can embed audio and video files just like images into good notes. Or at least that we can link them, but embedding would way better. Thank you.

  11. Add a reading mode view for goodnotes for windows. Firstly I am very personally excited for it being available on windows and I cannot wait for it to reach detailed finishing. Also adding a feature to quickly add custom sticker packages is requested

  12. It would be great to have some way of changing all the handwriting or highlighting of a certain color to another color. This way, I can experiment with different color schemes on notes that I have already taken, without having to manually select every occurrence of a certain color with the lasso tool and changing the color.

  14. Font support please. I could not write Turkish letters in any way. (Letters work on windows, not on my tablet.) The delete key doesn't work either, I can't delete the text with the keyboard.
    Hyperlink support is also available. I can't scroll sideways in stickers. Not all of the stickers you add by default are visible.

  15. Improving the Access For Convince in terms of portability; Having the feature to scan through the flash cards on mobile phones would be the best for always on the go learners.

  16. Es wäre gut wenn man beim lernen mit den Lernkarten auch in die Karten reinzoomen könnte und so die Karten vergrößern könnte. Vor allem wenn man mal am iPhone lernen möchte oder einfach an einem kleineren Geräten.

  17. I want to add further information (audio recording) to already existing notes. So that it is possible to tap on a word to play the audio recording.

  18. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I am experiencing difficulties with pressing the "New ..." button in the Mac application, as GoodNotes only responds to my input occasionally. Kindly review and improve the user interaction to allow for seamless usability.

    Thank you.

    Best regards

  19. I desperately needed a brush switcher that could hover. Similar to this feature in notibility. This provides great convenience for brush switching when working in split screen.

  20. I'd like to transition to using GoodNotes exclusively for studying because of its fantastic study set feature. However, I'm facing a challenge in exporting my flashcards from Anki to GoodNotes. The problem arises due to the presence of pictures and highlights in my flashcards. It would be greatly appreciated if a solution could be found to address this issue.
