  2. I would like to see the options to learn the study sets the other way around. Often I prepare a study set and notice that it would be more effective to see the answer first and after that the question while learning. An Option where you can swap every question and answer would solve this problem.

  3. This would allow me to quickly edit my notes from school (possibly as i take them!) and practice the examples we covered in class without TRYING to not look at the answers, or only copy/pasting the relevant stuff.

    Obviously the box should be resizable, and maybe even able to be a customizable color and shape since I can’t write in a straight line when I’m in a rush ‘XD!

    I’m sure it has more creative/interactive functions, but idk what they could be.

  4. Instead of sorting documents by date, name, or type, you should be able to "lock" a document to a certain spot and move everything else.

  6. I have 6yrs of my dialysis related notes (blood pressures, medications, etc). I tried the GN6 trial with immediate regret, looked to cancel, found out that it says there is no subscription to cancel, nor trial to cancel.Am I going to be losing my GN5 notes or GN5 features? Will GN5 just cease to exist. Do I have to back up my notes into another notewriting app? Please help. Not happy at all

  7. GoodNotes is my favorite app, but it is difficult to use because when you create a new note (file) and close it after writing, you have to choose in a dialog whether to save or delete (not save).

    Deciding whether to delete a created note can be done from the file list, so it is time-consuming to select it from the dialog each time it is created. It would be nice if it could be selected in the settings so that it can be automatically saved. It would reduce the number of one-tap operations.

    For example, in Procreate, the file…

  8. I would love it if there would be an option to adjust the arc shapes since it’s a problem whenever I want to use goodnotes for math, physics, or any class that requires drawing models. Maybe have it as an option to grab the middle point of a drawn line/arc and have the option to move it how we want to create a perfect shape for graphs and drawings.

  9. It would be amazing when you click on a specific part of your writing, it jumps to the recording corresponding to it like in notability. This feature is the only thing that notability exceeds in to Goodnotes.

  10. When you are in the zoom window feature and are coming to the end of the window the line should automatically continue to flow so the writing flow is not stopped. Also the next line should be suggested like now with the window but also that suggestion should not stop the writing flow.

  11. I sometimes need to change everything from US letter yellow to US letter whitebackground. That's for the purpose of printing. Otherwise, the yellow background could be distracting. It would be nice if we could have an option to do that.

    Thanks!

  12. There a many suggestions w.r.t. to linking and it seems to me that they relate to linking FROM GoodNotes to websites or within GoodNotes itself.

    What I would want is to link FROM another app TO a page or even better any object within GoodNotes.

    Example: Within DEVONthink I can get a url (e.g. x-devonthink-item://32BE24E3-...) to any item (group, document, PDF page, search, ..) within its database. I use those links from other apps like Omnifocus, Obsidian, ...

    The existing Sharing seems to link to the whole notebook (which might have dozens of pages) and allows for collaboration (which I…

  14. Personally I have many folders to be organized inside GN6 and its would be cool to have a breadcrumb feature at the top so that I can easier exit instead of repeatedly pressing back.

  16. I have been working on good notes to annotate my case studies. I like taking notes on the side but sadly there is not enough space in the papers to take notes. I think it would be a great feature to add page space to take notes on the side.

    Another is adding comments, a feature to have a full view of the comments on the side of the page similar to the feature on google doc would be great and if integrated into the tile view would be fantastic.

  17. I have the social media planner on Goodnotes. I can plan, schedule, post images, clips etc, text, even audio into a not, how great would it be to be able to organize all of my artwork posts reels stories for the month, then just post directly from the planner every day? I'm new to GN, so maybe this isn't possible, but it would be the best thing ever! SO many artists on Instagram & FB looking for a better way to showcase their art, on a schedule.

  19. When downloading Windows-only Good Notes, please allow them to be downloaded directly from the Good Notes site without going through the Microsoft Store.

    This is because download errors often occur in Microsoft stores.

    I threw away 2 hours because of this. I couldn't even download it after all.

  20. I know this might sound weird, but if I find that something on the support site isn't working properly, what should I do to report the issue? There's nothing in the "Please select the main component that is causing problems" field that I see relevant.

    I recently filed a request on the support site and found that my request status was marked as 'solved'.
