  1. I'm using the letters of the presentation well when I study them or as a scribe, but I want to adjust the size of the letters and the time when the letters disappear.

  2. Inspired by notability, it would be very nice to be able to drag in a notebook or scratch pad WITHIN a document/slideshow/pdf to be able to take notes alongside the presentation. This way one wouldn't be stuck with writing on the slides or adding slides in between.

    This way, the notebook page and the document are one entity, always together and notes always align with the part of the presentation you're taking notes on.

  3. This would be so helpful, if we could get like a link to our study sets and be able to do them on the computer. Smart learn syncing with the app would be great also, but it might not be possible as its a public link

  7. The iPad files app has a tree view for folders that is incredibly handy. Introducing something like that to goodnotes would make managing notes a lot easier

  8. Study set is a good idea for study. However, once a study set is made, I cannot add new entry to it.
    I hope I can add new entries into the existing study set soon.

  9. Please give us a fast way of adding notebook pages or purchased papers to our Template Libraries.

    I just bought a number of paper templates from the GoodNotes Store and it seems will now need to waste twenty minutes manually exporting PDFs of each individual page, and manually adding each page separately back in to my Template Library. It won’t import a multi-page pdf and split out the pages. It won’t import an exported GoodNotes notebook. It will only import templates from Files or Photos. It would be nice to just tell it to add page X from notebook Y…

  10. Is it just me?
    - You look at a part of your page
    - select the writing box
    - and it jumps to a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT part on the page

    So you then have to zoom out, orientate yourself, and then zoom back in to where you were originally trying to write.

    Clearly a programme glitch. Please look at this quick-win Mr/Mrs Engineer.

    A completely brilliant indispensable programme, so well thought through, I rave about it to everyone......apart from this INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING jumping.

    Please please please fix (please please).

  12. I am creating study sets for each module, but it would be good to create a master set so that throughout my degree it is possible to revise the most important bits from each module in one set

  14. Reorganisation. In notebooks you’re able to move pages around after creating them. You can’t do this for cards which seems weird. Would also be nice to create the same outlines with this feature.

  15. Tap to turn. The app is for ipad, it’s unintuitive then that the flash card starts on typing and you have to tap into a different screen to start writing with stylus. Generally, no one using goodnotes is trying to type their things. I also don’t like having to go in and out in and out to write the question and then it’s answer, I suggest having a double tap feature where the card in question is able to flip for ease of editing either sides.

  16. Zoom out. The cards when you test them get zoomed out, because it’s a flash card you don’t really want to have too much on each one. It would be good if you could zoom away from a card so as to write in your normal sized handwriting on each one. I’m having to use giant pen strokes as if I’m writing on a whiteboard so that they’re legible when I study with them.

  17. Ability to create sub folders or sections in a study set. I don’t really want to have 20 sets for 1 subject as that means having to move in and out of sets when building them for a single exam with multiple sections. But I’d like the ability to better organise my cards within sets as the nature of flash cards is you need many with bite sized info thus it gets a bit cluttered.

  18. At the moment one can switch from the document viewer to the file explorer … but not the other way around. From a UI / UX standpoint, this flaw is very frustrating.

    This problem was raised several years ago but apparently ignored. The currently suggested 'solution' (to use the search button and select a document from there) just does not cut it. A 'hack' is never a good solution to a design flaw.
