  1. Maybe I am missing some setting or documentation, but I spend a lot of time marking up documents and bookmarking those notes, only to have the bookmarks not Export with the document. Frustrating.

  2. Please make it possible that one square of checkered paper can be adjusted to be 0.5 cm wide. Do the same with the distance between dots on dotter paper and so on…

  3. Now, when the shape snaps, you can't edit its dimensions by dragging your pen, it only resizes larger or smaller. This is an issue because I have to change the tool to the shape tool to change the dimensions, and this has a minimum width. Goodnotes 6 had a good system where the shape snapped and then you could drag your pen to change the width/height of the box rather than just scaling it up or down.

  4. Although the full page typing feature (see image below) is useful, it only supports the default Arial font currently. Please can GoodNotes allow users to change fonts for the full page typing feature?

  5. Ability to create sub folders or sections in a study set. I don’t really want to have 20 sets for 1 subject as that means having to move in and out of sets when building them for a single exam with multiple sections. But I’d like the ability to better organise my cards within sets as the nature of flash cards is you need many with bite sized info thus it gets a bit cluttered.

  6. Dear Goodnotes,

    Allow the text to carry over to the next page continuously like in a word document. Where the number lists continue as well. Furthermore, if any new additions where made to a page, the parts that would have previously fit but don't fit anymore can be carried over to the next page automatically. Currently neither the numbers are able to continue, nor am I able to add to a previously page without have notes disappearing.

    I know that Goodnotes is designed for a page to be contained and formatted to a single document, but full page 'typing mode'…

  7. I hope there will be a thumbnail/favorite/overview in the study set, just like when writing a regular notebook. It would be great to change the order of the study set or see various menus at a glance.

    Thanks you!

  8. Reverse flashcards

    It would be great to be able to flip question and answer for a study session. For example, sometimes it’s great to have the question be a vocabulary word and the answer be the definition. However, sometimes it is good to reverse that and see the definition as the question and the word as the answer. Alternatively it would also be good to also have a mode that flipped back and forth between these modes.

  11. It would be great to have an edit opportunity while studying flash cards.
    Searching the current flash card in large notebooks to edit small mistakes is time consuming.

  12. I’m in favor of ridding the laser pointer icon and placing an Audio recording button instead. Along with only having the master button pop up during presentation mode .

    Could maybe even allow some to choose what icons show preferably over others

  13. When GoodNotes starts in the Documents Home view, I usually already have several notebooks open that I'm working in. In order to get to those notebooks (and the tabs displaying them) I have to go find and open a notebook that is already "open." From the Documents Home view, I would love to have a list of already open notebooks to go directly there upon app launch.

  14. Would be great if the opacity of pen or highlighter could be controlled for the desired outcome. Currently using a black paper template and anything you highlight disappears because the opacity of the highlighter isn’t high enough!

  15. I have entered all my Journal Colors and added them to Presets. When I type something, those colors are not available. I have to manually enter the hex code to get the proper color text .... Every .. Single .. Time!

  17. Say you import a pdf file and only take notes/highlight/annotate on certain pages. It would be great to have a window/overview or something where you can see only those pages you wrote something on instead of having to look through the whole file :) (like in notability)

  18. Create a checklist paper template with boxes that auto formats a check mark when the checkbox is selected. This could be offered on each paper type (lined, lined 2 column, plain, etc.)

  19. Through log in to a GoodNotes account we should be able to synch data between several devices. (iCloud is sometimes not allowed on company devices). Or allow central data storage (not only backup) at google drive, etc.

  20. Following the recent update which added the text document, I think that users should be able to have the option of writing, drawing and highlighting on the page. For me my study method is typing out my lecture notes in OneNote and then exporting to Goodnotes to highlight and annotate. However, if I was able to do this with the text document feature, it would make things so much easier. Not just for me but other users also.
