  1. The UI does not have to always be visible. When i am taking notes i just want a FULLSCREEN (see that idea too) paper and maybe a widget on one of the edges for changing the color or the thickness of my pen. I don't need to have the save and delete and bookmark and tabs and title and everything on top of the paper. Just tools and colors. For more there should be a pop-up menu or something.

  3. When you import an image as a flash card you can’t write on it at all with a pen. While you could edit the image before importing it, it would help if you could import say a labelled diagram of a cell and you could blackout one individual label and put the label as the answer on the other side of the flash card. This could help you with one diagram making easily 6+ Flashcards in a minute directly from lecture notes making it a lot easier.

  4. Having either side of the flash card possibly show up in the deck, and you would have to recall the other side. An example would be learning German and you need to know how to translate English to German but also German to English. So you would only have to make one flash card for recalling the word in both “directions”.

  5. First thank you for your priceless. application. It’s really enjoyable to take notes.
    As a researcher, I need to read and annotate lots of papers. I would appreciate it if you could add a feature that allows me to write out the outline. I show it in the attachment. It will help organize and make annotation more enjoyable. Also, it gives us more space to make a connection between different articles.

  6. I'm a therapist, in 3 jobs, if I had an option to open a binder, then I would have 3 one for each job and each separation from the binder a client, and every time the client comes back I already have the continuation in the binder and separation from him

  7. In the new feature of smart study flashcards, the typing section is stuck with one font and one format. If I could explained with different colors, formatting subscripts/superscripts it’d be super convenient and imp[rove my experience. Thanks for all of y’all hardwork!

  8. It would be really useful with a feature which gives the opportunity to quickly jump from one page number to another random page by typing in the page number.
    The feature is already built in, but it requires too many taps to go through the menu and find it.

    I often have large PDFs in court with thousands of pages, and need to be able to jump from e.g. page 37 to 1754 really quick without too many taps.

  9. Automate AI that, when performing a search within a document, automatically includes OCR text and handwritten text. This may take a few seconds to render by request. Totally worth it.

  10. I sell (printed) workbooks for secondary school in Germany.

    Is there a possibility to sell workbooks as PDFs (approx. 160 pages) in your pop-up store?

    It’s important that the PDFs cannot be shared or forwarded simply to other devices via AirDrop for example, but can only be used within the own account.

    Furthermore, I'd like to know if buttons with embedded links are possible in the PDFs?

    This would be an interesting market for all textbook publisher (who offer workbooks) if they could sell their books copy-protected through your platform.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Kind regards

  11. in Read-only mode I would like to have the option to flip sides with TWO fingers only. So the sides would not move when using only one finger (same function as in „edit mode“)

  12. Clicking on Documents or Favorites in the MacOS-App while being deeper in their folder structures doesn't return you to their respective root folder.

    I'd like to see the same behavior implemented as in the iPadOS-App where you do return to the root folder.

    Thank you for your work!

  13. I previously submitted feedback that it would be nice for goodnotes beta to be able to import pdf files. I got the response that this is already possible but after multiple tries and lots of googling I found out that this still isn't the case. So hereby I try again.

  14. I noticed that in the paragraph settings, one can only have three options of organizing it (center text-align; right or left text-align) and I’d want to know the possibility of adding the “justified text-align”, because this is actually really important for university assignments.

    I’m adding screenshots of how this function appears to me, and the question/suggestion I have.

  16. My suggestion is to add a feature that enables changing the size, font, color etc of individual words within the same text box, without affecting the formatting of the entire text. This would provide more flexibility and precision in formatting text, and make it easier to create professional-looking documents.

  17. I've seen your attempt to convert handwriting to equations and I love this idea. A word from a STEM student. Please leave an option to edit output manually using .tex. I will even pay additionally for such an option. Besides, it can improve your ML models, as most of the people that would use that, would probably be professionals which would make error detection far better.

  18. The comments should be searchable in GoodNotes!!
    Comments is a very useful way to take notes, thus I write many of my thoughts in comments. However, I find I can’t search for my comment in GoodNotes, which cost me a lot of time to search my notes. I hope the the contents inside the comments can be searched.

  19. when resizing handwriting or images, allowing the user to snap back to the original size would be helpful as some people may only want to rotate/change orientation of the object without changing size.

  20. I wish I could change the color of the file on the main screen to something other than blue. It would be cool to change the color I chose myself. It's time to distinguish between all files....
