  1. There you be a way to make multiple flashcard sets in a single flashcard box so that you can more easily separate different topics. For example if you have a textbook, you should have different sets for each chapter, and in the box all your flashcards.

  2. Sometimes I find myself made mistakes about the written content on the card while in study mode, maybe just some spelling mistakes. I hope I can correct them, but I can’t find the option. Once I exit study mode, I can’t find the card any more when there are so many cards in one set. Hope there’ll be a solution for such situation.

  4. When writing a study set, the action of moving to the next square is not natural. i have to swipe several times to move on. I would like you to improve this. In particular, I feel uncomfortable because I don't go with two fingers when using the trackpad.

    I sincerely wish your company endless development.

    Thank you.

  5. To make the new flashcard feature even more useful, it would be great to be able to insert math equations using inline LaTeX/MathJax notation. (Similar to what’s possible with Anki).

  6. I wish we had the ability to change the order of images, like in Microsoft Word. Instead of having to paste images in a certain order for the correct one to be on top, I wish we could click the image and either send it forward or backward.

  8. One thing that would be great is a way that the page can be locked into place when zoomed in and using vertical scroll.

    When I take notes, I use an A4 page and double click to zoom it in and write. But one thing that annoys me so much is sometimes my hand or arm will touch the page and then the page will be shifted to the left or right.

    I propose a small lock button that allows you to lock a page in place, from moving left or right, but still keeps the vertical scroll.

  9. Flashcard Update! Please make this a permanent feature. There should be an outline so you can quickly find a card without flipping through the full size ones. Also have a way for you to save your progress. If i make a deck of 120 cards I may not have time to make it all the way through and want to come back where I left off. Also a feature to let you study only the ones you missed. And a feature to let you view them in order or randomly.

  10. Having a small toolbar on the side that contains user’s favorite pens, highlighter, etc… will be able to add new colors to the favorite bar, and able to adjust the order of the pens on the favorite bar.

  11. It would be helpful if GoodNotes recognizes uneven handwriting and would transform it into a straight line.
    (just like the straight line function for the highlighter)

  12. Like to be able to change the colours for goodnotes and having only 3 options for the colours with one usually being black is quite restrictive and changing it every time can be tedious. Would be very nice if we could have more pen colour options on the toolbar. Thanks for considering my idea!

  13. In the option box generated by long-pressing the word, there is currently only 'definition'. It would be more applicable if 'translation' was added.
    长按单词产生的选项框中,目前只有‘定义’。如果增加‘翻译’会更适用。

  14. Glad you added comments! Earlier I requested a collapsible post it, it this is better! I wish I could see all comments in one place, like in the outline section. Attached is a place you could do it!

  15. Hi i think it would be so great if there was a tab to view highlights and notes made on a document. I love to use GoodNotes for my textbooks or pdfs professors give and i annotate on them a lot but it is so hard finding where i highlighted something or noted something because i have to scroll through the document. Sometimes my documents are 100 pages long and takes to long to find where something is highlighted

  16. Hello. In notability there is a feature that I miss in GoodNotes 5. In Notability after you wrote with Apple Pencil you can change the style, line width, line style and color. In GoodNotes you can only change the color. It would be important to be able to change the thickness and style of the line as well. Thanks.

  17. Having a hexagonal would make chemistry note taking so much easier. Especially in higher level chemistry since there are so many different compounds you have to learn.

  18. I liked the sticky note, but there should be system of pop up like sticky note because in most of the pdf documents , there is no space to write anything. If pop up like sticky note will available there then it will more convenient to take short note.

  19. Add a "glow" style to the pen types or color options, or the option to keep laser pointer markings permanently.

  20. I hope that I can directly select multiple pages and rearrange their order in the thumbnails like what I can do in Notability.

    I know that I can copy and paste page to rearrange the page order. But it's not convenient.

    I'd appreciate it if you could add this feature.
