  1. It would be nice if we could also rearrange flash cards once they’ve been created, instead of having to take the time out to copy the info, duplicate a card in the desired spot, clear the newly duplicated card, and paste/rewrite all the info.

  2. EN: The ability to label/ write flashcards just like regular notes (i.e. picture, pencil and text AT ONCE, not just one of them at a time).
    Post’its and stickers are welcome as well.

    DE: Die Möglichkeit, Karteikarten wie normale Notizen zu beschriften/schreiben (d.h. Bild, Stift und Text AUF EINMAL, nicht nur eines davon).
    Post'its und Aufkleber sind ebenfalls willkommen.

  3. Being able to add images in comments would improve communicative abilities when reviewing docs and also provide the ability to add references/context images to paragraphs that can collapse into just a comment note. ( and don’t occupy space in the actual page )

  4. 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.

  6. Digital planners would be near perfect on Goodnotes with this capability. The only think I see available is the option to basically manually import events from Goodnotes Digital Planners templates into a calendar. Having items from my calendar automatically put into my digital planner would be amazing as there are several apps that will automatically add to your apple calendar with permissions.

  7. The new feature for writing over the whole page definitely needs adjustable fonts, as well as writing exactly in the lines of the template

  8. 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.

  9. I think these two text alignment buttons in apple notes- as shown in the attached image -give more freedom and more alignment degrees than the 3 buttons options in goodnotes which are less functioning( i.e. just extreme right , center , extreme left )

  10. Larger Thumbnails. One of the great things about keeping notes in a paper notebook is that you can quickly skim through previous notes. You flip through pages very quickly finding what you're looking for. Thumbnail view is the best way to do this with digital note taking. Please give the option to increase the size of the thumbnail to make this easier.

  12. Can we have syncing option for Pen and highlighter color? Most of the colors are on iPad, but the colors are not transferred to the Mac. It helps to keep things color coded still while on the laptop.

  13. After the latest update that allows the user to add more than 3 colours, the stroke menu has morphed into this menu that you must click on to expand first and only then will it allow you to choose stroke sizes. Nobody has asked for the latter and please restore it. Thank you

  14. The ability to create fast flashcards by using the lasso tool on notebooks.

    Currently, to study and get asked with the study mode we have to adapt our notes to flashcards mode.

    This is really annoying: we have to do all the notes of our notebooks in a Flashcard template, or we have to write again our notes in the flashcards in the Study set.

    Is really tedious and redundant to create notes and afterward to write again your notes in flashcards(my current situation)

    I believe we should add the next feature:

    • The availity in a notebook to create Questions/answers…

  15. I want to read in Goodnotes such as comic books, and I would like to be able to choose between right and left scrolling, as it varies from book to book.

  16. Hello,

    I am a new Goodnotes user and have used Notability for 10+ years. I decided to get Goodnotes for digital planners and noticed that the colors preset on my iPad are not synching to other devices. In notability, the colors I have preset sync to my other devices and it makes the colors more efficient!

  17. An option to put the Smart Learning into Shuffle like you’re able to do in learning mode would be nice.

    Also, let us learn our cards flipped too! Especially when learning new vocabulary it is crucial to have „question“ and „answer“ to be asked flipped so we learn both ways. New language—mother tongue, mother tongue—new language equally.

    And one more thing: Have the same option as in the previous Learning decks you have in the notebooks> an option to grade with at least 3 buttons on how good you memorized the card.

  18. I've been using Good Notes for university and life in general for two years now, and there are several features that would make the app a much better place to study.
    I've thought about them and here they go (my native language isn't english so sorry if i make mistakes):

    -The audio option could be better (it would be great to be able to leave them inserted as stickers in any part of the sheet and thus divide the audio into sections, and that when pressed the previously recorded audio would sound). Also give them names and that they are…

  19. When recording, you cannot open other files. If you want to search another file, you must stop recording, which is very inconvenient

  20. The folder organization will be better as expandable list structure like on MacOS or MS OneNote.
    So it would be possible to see folder and underfolder.
