  1. it would be SOOOOO nice if you could perpetually sync your goodnotes with your cloud service of choice. no constant upload. whenever you close out of the note you're on it automatically syncs with your cloud service.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Now that audio recording is available, you also need to add functionality to allow the audio to be exported out of the note as a separate mp3. I use this function on another note-taking program so that I can have the audio transcribed. I can't use Good Notes for my job until this is possible, so I'm staying tuned to see if this is added in the future. Not sure if other people are this specific. Adding this and voting for all the suggestions that are close to this idea.

  6. I often use a combination of writing utensils and text boxes while taking notes, and it would be nice if there was a way to save more color presets for text. It would save some time while switching between writing and text if I could save the same additional color presets for both. A way to the transfer color presets of one utensil to the other utensils/tools would also be beneficial.

  7. Are there plans to support the new iPad Pencil "Hover" feature in GoodNotes soon? This feature provides awareness of where the pencil will start writing or drawing before the pencil is on the iPad screen. This helps with both drawing and writing accuracy.

  8. It is very important that the application incorporates a widget for the home screen. A widget will make it easier to quickly enter recent notes or notes that the user has highlighted. The ideal shape is in all sizes with a bookcase style. I want to add that this addition would make the application a real rival to the speed presented by the native apple application. Thank you very much.

  9. A great option would be if the Auto Backup could also backup to a NAS, NextCloud, Mega, OwnCloud, Samba File Share (Network Share) etc.

  10. It would be really helpfull and way easier to be able to import colors for pens and highlighters instead having to type in every hex code! An eye dropper tool would be really nice too so that you can easily change colours :)

  11. I want to simply scan parts of a document as a picture, to insert into the middle of my written note instead of as a new page.

  12. Currently resizing an image proportionally resizes from the centre. Often when trying to resize an image to the same size as an existing one it is convenient to line up from the corners, but as the resize feature stretches the image from the centre it becomes inaccurate and difficult to guess the relative size of images

  14. Some of the pdf’s I import have very small margins that do not allow me to write notes on. It would be fantastic if there was a feature that acted as sticky notes like in Apple’s feature in the Books app or how Google docs allow you to add comments.

  15. Create a default font, text size, and line spacing that will line up with a narrow and wide rules template. Or, add adjustable line spacing, space before paragraph, and space after paragraph options. It is obnoxious when text on a Cornell template or any other for that matter doesn’t match up with the lines.

  16. Since there already is a feature to convert handwritten text.
    It would be very usefully if you could convert the text from pictures of handwritten notes or documents like textbooks to editable text.

  17. Now we only can save 3 pen colors and 3 pen thickness, but I would love to have more, something like 5, there is place tu put them, and we can have a setting of how many are showed, so who wants to have 3 can have 3 and who needs 5 can have them

  18. A third section of the color picker with document-specific themes and colors would be nice. I have lots of documents with different color schemes that are made confusing by the current color picker setup.

  19. "Duplicate" rather than copy-paste would be a great idea. Already you can do it with a second GN window open (as noted in another comment) by dragging to the other window, dropping, then dragging back (even several times, if you want).

    But why not allow the same facility without a second window? At the moment, dragging the "white box" in the same window looks promising... but disappoints by just snapping back when you let go. Why can't it simply duplicate? That would be a super time-saving feature.
