  1. I’d like to mix up my flash cards from different folders by selecting which folders to study so I don’t need to go to each folder and study from those flash cards separately.

  2. When I write on pages without margins, the left edge of my page is flush with the left edge of my iPad screen (or locked in the centre). This makes it uncomfortable to write from the very edge of the screen for left handed users. Could you possibly make it so the user has more control over how far left/right the page sits to allow for hand resting room?

  3. I would like to be able to write notes to the side of PDF documents or powerpoints that I have downloaded to the app. Similar to OneNote

  4. Hello GoodNotes I was disappointed to find that I could not add a video into your app as a document itself. It would be really useful for me to include some helpful YouTube videos with my university notes. If you could add this feature that would be great. If I could take screen records and record my professor speaking as I take notes that would be fantastic.

  5. Have functionality to save current text style e.g. font, colour, size bold etc so that you can quickly switch between them or apply to existing text.

  6. Page marker at the bottom (like Adobe Reader) to show you the page number in the PDF, the approximate location out of 100% and something you can grab to move through pages quickly. I often need to move through a PDF with 100's of pages, and since I don't know page I am on or what page I need to get to... using a menu to type in a guessed page number is very cumbersome

  8. bezier curves are easy to implement and would be great to quickly draw some graphs and curves. I am an engineering student and I have to draw lots of diagramms, a bezier curve option would be handy.

  9. Wenn man vom markieren ins schreiben übergeht, soll das Lineal Werkzeug deaktiviert werden, da man es sonst immer selber deaktivieren muss.
    Darüberhinaus wäre es hilfreich, ein duales System zu entwickeln, sodass man bei Bedarf die vorherige Seite klein oben im Eck hat, sodass man nicht immer zurückblättern muss, um die Aufgabenstellung zu lesen.

  10. Add an option to turn AI off. This feature is obstructive and if it has to be in the app, give users an option to opt out or turn AI off.

  11. "We need an integrated LaTeX editor, allowing for a combination of text and LaTeX boxes. Additionally, it should have a comprehensive LaTeX library, and ideally, apps like GoodNotes should offer math and chemistry keyboards."

  12. Let us being able to add LaTeX expressions as a TEXT input.
    You can either render it using mathjax, katex, ...

    Reason :
    The recognition gets really confused and is pretty much unusable for serious mathematics ( people who study mathematics ) : integrals, sets with subscripts, norms, ...

  13. I would like to add the ability to print a study set.

    The study set mode has been added, so I'm using GoodNote very usefully.

    I sincerely wish your company endless development.

    Thank you.

  14. Accessibility options for those with disabilities that may affect motor control as well as those just wanting to have better handwriting as it shows up in the app.
    Similar to procreate or lazy nezumi.

  16. I love the flash card tool. It would be very nice if there was an option to show the "answer"-side first in the learning mode. For example it would be very nice to learn words of a different language in both directions: French - English and English French.

  17. Enable more colors and styles for the laser pointer. Also provide a feature that gives the option to keep laser writing on the document longer until dismissed by presenter via erasure or some special triple tap, or even a release button at the top.

  18. Useful if someone import pages wrongly.

    Say I want to import a 300-page pdf file into a new file, but I mistakenly chose to import it into the current file. It would be convenient if there was an undo button to delete those new pages in the current file.

  19. The apple books app has this great feature that shows all of your highlights in a given book under "notes." I would LOVE to see something similar on Goodnotes.

    I color code my highlighting so if I could search for just orange highlights and then see all of my definitions (which I color code in orange) in one place and then jump to that page by tapping that would be amazing.

  20. The average engineering student spends most of their time either taking notes or exercising and practicing off a sheet much like the one visible in the screenshots.
    The current situation provides no comfortable way of displaying the assignments without the use of a secondary device or constantly "tabbing" back and forth between assignments and notes to copy them.

    As of iPad OS 13.4.1, Apple has still not implemented horizontal split-screen with many users suggesting that it may never happen.

    A splitscreen feature within GoodNotes would provide an elegant and intuitive solution in any situation where both viewing a document and…
