  1. It would be great do get an option to disable the Math Assist AI feature separatly by AppConfig from within an MDM.
    The Goodnotes App is used more often in schools, so the admin need the choice to enable or disable this powerful AI tool.

    1. 질문 : 안드로이드, 애플 간 동기화 기능은 언제쯤 가능 예정인가요?
    2. 기능 제안 : 불러오기 기능을 할 경우 새로운 파일로 굿노트 상에 업데이트 되는 것이 아니라, 앱스토어 앱 중 pdf expert 앱처럼 저장되어 있는 파일을 그대로 불러와서 그 파일 내에 필기가 되는 기능이 있었으면 좋겠습니다. 그럼 해당 파일도 다른 파일과 바로 연동하기 쉽습니다.

  3. When inside a folder somewhere on the screen can you show the file path similiar to windows file explorer so we can simply drag a file to any part of the path rather than clicking the drop down options and then clicking move. Also, the move menu that shows all your files appears on the side when you open a file so you can directly drag and drop would also be great.

  4. Please add this! I love good notes so much but I use an iPad and Samsung phone. I really want to be a digital planner girlie but I don't want to bring my bulky iPad everywhere! I'm so jealous of the iPhone users!

  5. Ability to search flashcards. Have far too many entries to quickly scroll through to make sure I’m not making a duplicate card.

    Hopefully I’m not missing something and this is actually not a real issue

  6. It would be nice to be able to add Excel, Word, etc files to a notebook, similar to how Apple Notes works. It does not need to open in Good Notes it just needs to act like a link to the file so you can pull it up in a separate app.

  7. ファイルをpdfに書き起こす際にファイル名とpdfの名前が同じになるようにしてほしいです。今はpdfの名前が、pdfに書き起こす際にファイル名に関係なく数字やアルファベットのられつのようになってしまっています。

  8. In a document like 400 pages long, you will need to know where you are in the entire document, then Outline window is necessary. Currently the outline window is not linked to the main window, that means when you open 113 page in the main window, the outline window when opened shows first few pages(not linked to the main). You will need to scroll the outline window down to 113 pages, this is not helpful and kills the usefulness of outline window function. The paper based note has power of “at a glance” recognition/grasp of entire document size, PDF need…

  10. When you answer math problems you always need double lines under the answer (at least in Norway), so in addition to dotted lines etc. add double lines as its own, if you try to make to automatic straight lines close to each other they just pull into each other and become one line instead of two

  11. I understand the app is optimized for note taking, Pdf reading and annotation comes second. Yet,Goodnotes became my main go to app. Can you please work on improving the app Pdf/reading features. Top apps in that category are GoodReader, Pdf Expert, PDF viewing…etc

  12. the flashcard function could use improvement. I am unable to bold or even underline my text on the flashcard. I can't even use my pencil to highlight/add notes. There is no way to go from card to card editing without going to the outline each time. The main concern is not being able to bold text in the card since it now all blends in and is not as helpful

  13. The flashcard function could use a lot of improvement. First I copied text from my course notes but then wasn't able to even bold or underline text. I also couldn't use my pen to highlight it. Now the text is all just a blob of words instead of allowing me to indicate important words. Also being able to go back and forth between flashcards and not have to go to the outline every time would be helpful.

  14. I am silly and forgot my password, I can still access what I have locked using Touch ID but would really appreciate the ability to reset a forgotten password so I can continue using the feature for other notebooks!

  15. I like to import my professors notes and write alongside them during lectures. I would love to be able to use the audio recording feature and laser pointer together so that i can follow along with the laser in the recording when reviewing notes. I want to be able to circle things or underline them during class so i can see the the prof is referring to in the recordings.

  16. It would be really cool to be able to press "Ctrl" on your Keyboard and use the mouse scroll-wheel to zoom in and out on a page on the Windows App. This would make navigating the App on Windows much easier and more intuitive.

  17. It would come in handy to have an option for marking items in the library (folders, books, notes,…) by a simple checkbox or different colored backgrounds so that one could see immediately if a document was read and finished already.

  19. Why no one is talking about creating a flexible , movable panel that allows user to set the “most usage pen” and some tools? I think Notability do have that. It would be a lotlotlotlot more convenient since we no need switching frequently.and also, double click the screen anywhere to “undo”, enhanced user convenience also.
