  1. I would really appreciate to have styles for text like in Word to save text formats (that's something I really miss in Goodnotes for IOS).

  2. Could you please add flash card notifications, where goodnotes sends out a notification when it’s the recommended time to study the flashcards again? Like helping the spaced practice be more effective by prompting the user it’s time to review those cards again?

    And also have a todo list within the goodnotes app itself on the side which shows the sets that need to be done, and the tasks only go away once you do them with a satisfying animation.

  3. Pretty much the title, just like normal documents you can share the flashcards with one link and can collaborate and real time add on to it with your friends.

  4. The handwriting experience in GoodNotes 4 is much better, because the fountain pen is not that exaggerated like in GoodNotes 5. Please optimise this.

  5. Can you add support for 120hz writing, it makes writing notes much more responsive.

  6. I miss the bookmark icon too, but I also understand that toolbar space gets scarce - there might even be other features upcoming that need it.
    So why not overlay the bookmark icon/button on the actual page - in the top left or right corner, like every ebook reader app does?
    (Zooming and scrolling ensures it could not cover up something on the page.)

  7. It would be nice if you use a sticker of a sticky note (for example) and you write on it you can select this sticker with the writing on it without selecting the text underneath the sticker. Just like in real life, you write something on a sticky note, stick it in your notebook and then remove it again without removing what's in your notebook.

  8. As my (and other's) studying method requires a lot of colours, I would like to be able to change the highliter or pen colour faster. So, I'm suggesting something like a detachable grid for colour selection or an option which allows me to visualize more than 3 rapid colour choices in the main bar (for instance, hiding through the settings menu the unused tools to make room for the ones that I use more frequently).
    In other words, I would like to customize my tool bar and make it more efficient to meet my specific needs. Is this possible?
    Thank…

  10. I often work on my laptop and ipad at the same time, adding pages from my laptop files and filling them out on my ipad. I frequently have to turn of and on icloud sync in settings on both devices to make it refresh faster.

    A button to do this automatically while working on a note would be appreciated

  11. Don't always download files from iCloud and then load them back into Goodnotes. Where is the sense? Direct folder linking from iCloud folders in GoodNotes 5 would improve the work process enormously. For example, open PDF files directly and edit them in GN and then close them with one click and everything is saved in iCloud again.

  12. I use a lot of different custom templates for the work that I do. It would save me an immense amount of time if I could set a different default template for each folder. Example: if I open my folder of customer orders and start a quick note, it automatically uses the template I’ve created for taking orders that customers phone in because I’ve set that as the default template for THAT folder. When I open my interviews folder and start a quick note the default template would be the questionnaire that I use when interviewing applicants. Please!

  15. When the documents get to big and I need to scroll fast, most times I don't know the page number to jump to, I'd rather like to be able to scroll quickly.

  16. We need to be able to skip to the audio part that we need by clicking on the writing that has been written at that moment. The feature already exist on notability and collanote. Thank youuu

  17. To import or export pdf files takes too many touches to perform. I would say Notability has mastered this.
    Being able to export to more than 1 apps. As of the moment to export a file, the file will compile all the pages and will only allow you to export to one applications, and if you want to export the same file with the compiled pages to another app you have to repeat the process and compile the pages again.
    - It would be great if you would keep the menu to export until we want to exit out of…

  18. "Any Notebook that includes audio can be shared with a friend making it easy for them to listen back and follow your notes at the same time with Note Replay."

    This should also include the possibility of sharing your notes and recordings to other devices as separate files. I recorded a lecture today, and I assumed that this feature was also available. When I use Notability, I am able to share both the recording and notes as separate files to my Mac.

  19. It’s amazing there is so few languages that can be recognized. It has been a known issue for years, and that’s why other apps or even platforms is moving up so fast ( Nebo as an app, or Supernote/Boox as e writers).
