  1. I'd like to transition to using GoodNotes exclusively for studying because of its fantastic study set feature. However, I'm facing a challenge in exporting my flashcards from Anki to GoodNotes. The problem arises due to the presence of pictures and highlights in my flashcards. It would be greatly appreciated if a solution could be found to address this issue.

  2. Search by filtering stickers.
    I use the stickers to highlight important passages of the texts; it would be very useful to filter the pages where there are some stickers or, even better, being able to search and filter for a specific sticker.
    Thanks

  3. Just like how you can add new presets for text color, allow users to edit the presets for the text boxes.

  4. It would be nice if there were the possibility to make the background transparent for text boxes.

  6. When hitting the return key for zoom window have it return to the next line under the first character of the previous written line. When taking hierarchical notes it’s annoying to have to constantly move the box manually and truly makes it unusable for taking notes this way. Adding a dotted reference to the start of the first character would also be helpful.

  7. While using the app, especially in landscape mode to view lecture slides which are typically 16:9 inches you're unable to zoom out enough to view multiple slides at once.

    You're able to do so while holding down but when released it snaps back to the initial size. Please it possible to remain at the perspective it was while zoomed out when you release the screen.

  8. Lines telling users that what they’ve written down is align with others in another line. Also, when using a squared paper, I mean now we can move it freely without any lock when we move pass through those grid lines. But it would be better, if the words we’ve written down are stayed or locked on the grid line.

  9. This way, each heading can have a user-defined default color, and you don't have to change it every time.

    This would pair nicely with keyboard shortcuts.

  10. Drawing Mathematical equations on a graph by hand is pretty exhausting. Especially, when Goodnotes doesnt really make it possible to draw them accurate.

    I would love to add a window to my GoodNote document where I can interactively plot a function like f(x)= x + ln(x).
    A kind of GeoGebra implementation in the document would be cool.
    That would help all the people who
    -are still in school
    -are studying something scientific
    -are working in a technical profession

  11. I have a notebook I’ve purchased that I want to get the original formatting and I can’t do that because it doesn’t show up in the store anymore and I would like to see my in app purchases history to redownload a new version of the notebook I already have. There needs to be a search history and search feature in the app so we can find these things.

  12. A very useful feature would be the addition of a scissors/cutout tool which can be used to manually cut out a PNG shape from an uploaded image.

  13. I need the ability to change the “creation date” of a note.

    This, along with the ability to sort by creation date would allow a reasonable sort of my notes as I sometimes need to write notes referring to previous day.

    Without this, as manual sorting is not an option and wouldn’t make real sense for many people I guess, GoodNotes becomes unusable as it quickly turns into a mess.

  16. I can edit lines as long as I don't lift the pen off it. which can only be edited at the end of the line I wish I could edit the line whenever my pen touches any area of it.

  17. Instead of tapping the highlighter (or pen) and then changing the thickness and then changing the color, it would be convenient to have multiple highlighter and pen presets in the toolbar. Settings could be switched with a single tap.

    To make room for these extra buttons, the thickness and color items could be collapsed to a drop-down menu for each property with the current thickness and color displayed. (The settings of the active highlighter or pen could be changed via these controls, while a long-tap on the highlighter or pen would still present the existing pop-up menus.)

    The attached images…

  19. I often use flashcards to memorize name of body. It is important for me to memorize related several parts with one illustration. While creating cards, I need to copy illustrations from answer area to question's one (or opposite). Because I need illustration & words together in answer area.
    Of course I understood Lasso tool can do that. But it is annoying to select whole area of question.
    Adding "copy whole objects from question area to answer area" function saves time a lot.

  20. I like to work on squared paper but I don’t need it to be printed out with squares. If I only could select all or “from - to” for those pages that I want to print out. I could save some inkt.
