  2. A way to organize the elements library would be very useful, sometimes I download loads of stickers at once but then i can’t change the “folder” they’re in

  3. There's already been a highlight feature and a strikeout feature for selected texts on PDF files, so I wonder if you can implement applying tapes onto selected texts as an addition, since we have tape functions just on board.

  5. We have been using a web app with zero functionality for almost 2 years now. Did you guys abandon us? We paid for this and still do. Why can't we have the real goodnotes? It's literally the goodnotes from wish .com right now. No stickers. No goodnotes files, different ui, everything is horrible. It can't even handle importing a .pdf without zooming weird. Why do you do this to us. It's so sad.

  6. GN works well on iphone/ipad. However, it is poorly optimized for Macbook (where many of us use it). Needed improvements: decrease memory use and battery drain, set standard window size, fix glitches leading to freezing and need to exit and restart.

  7. Being able to instantly make flashcards of your college slides. To be able to automatically have each slides as an answer, and only having to come up with a question relevant to the slide. Now I have to spend hours placing my college slides in the answer bar of the flashcards.

  8. Guten Tag
    Es wäre super, wenn es Vorlagen für Lernsets gäbe (z.B. kariert oder liniert)

    Zudem wäre es einen grossen Mehrwert, wenn die Lernsets wieder als pdf exportierbar wären.
    So sind die Karteikarten an die App gebunden und es ist kaum möglich diese offline zu repetieren, was sehr schade ist.
    Bei der Version 5 gab es diese Option!

  9. Please allow links to use with other apps. I love that it works with websites and other documents. But other apps also would be wonderful

  10. Covers imported directly from the market place are able to be grouped by the same cover. Custom imports should be able to also be categorized with different color options all together under one cover, instead of having them all separate in the same group.

  11. It would be great to add an option where you can „secure“ a picture on a page

    So, sometimes I add pictures to my pages with exercises for my students. But then, when I want them to write answers on them, they accidentally touch some spot on the page and the picture moves and the writing is underneath and so on. I know it’s possible to add a picture as a new page but sometimes I add several pictures on one page. Just please give me the option to securely add a picture to the page.

  12. (For larger documents) allow a way to type the page you want to go to, instead of scrolling through (thumbnails) to find it

  13. I wish there was a feature that allows you to set a notification (not like the current one), but with a random question from a study set throughout the day, I would like to receive a notification to test myself at any time of the day. I think it would be very useful to maintain focus, even for those study sets that we have forgotten.

  15. The eraser tool has an option to erase only the marker. It would be interesting if you could choose to delete only the text written with the pen tool

  18. Display highlighter colours as how they appear on the page of the notebook when used. I can never guess how the highlight colour will actually show up when I select it.

  19. Dear GoodNotes Software Engineers,
    As a regular user of GoodNotes, I am writing to share a concern and a suggestion that I believe would enhance the user experience. I have attached a photo to illustrate my point.
    As an accountant, I frequently use payroll forms and other specific templates in my work. However, adding these favorite pages to GoodNotes currently requires me to navigate to the main menu and import them each time. This process is somewhat cumbersome and time-consuming.
    I would like to propose the addition of a new feature: a dedicated tab or shortcut within the app that…
