  3. We would really like to make a sticky notes that moves with the text in it . The sticky note available now only lets you to write over it, but when you want to move it , only the sticker will move, or you should select all the text which may take the text under it also. So it is better to have like a really sticky note

  4. Hey, it would be really nice and helpful to add Bulgarian as recognised language. I see that Russian is available which also uses the Cyrillic alphabet, hopefully Bulgarian will be available soon too!

  6. Dashed lines and curves would be great. I often find myself needing to draw a dashed line in graphs, or in hidden sides of 3d shapes. It’s a must in a note taking app. The implementation of this feature shouldn’t be a challenge for any programmer, especially as it’s already exists in Goodnotes 5 code. For example, the dashed curved in the Lasso tool, or the way Goodnotes 5 draws shapes. If you use Standard Eraser to erase alternating sub curves, you are left with a dashed curve, except now it’s not functioning as a curve and you can’t edit…

  7. Add the option to translate or share text to a specific application so that you can send the sentences to be translated from the same application. When you select words or sentences, the translation and share option next to the copy , highlight , Define option

  9. It would be fantastic if good notes could implement a dark mode that inverts the colours on a page. I usually do not use dark paper as I sometimes need to print my notes, and it is very tedious to change colours. This is a much-needed feature for users who love using dark paper but can't due to certain limitations.

  10. As a student, I have a notebook for each class and like to record the lectures for especially difficult topics. I would like to be able to quickly review the audio files when studying; I think the rename feature is vital so I can quickly access a specific lecture topic without trying to figure out what day (or even what hour) the lecture was given. It will also help me organize topics.

    I also think a separate space for an audio transcript would be extremely helpful for productivity. Not only does it help me quickly navigate the recording (e.g. jump…

  11. Hello good notes, your goodnote 5 app is very good app for students. We need a feature like endless paper. As you know study means interlinking of topics, for that purpose we need endless paper size. Could you please avail that in next update

  13. Right now, the app makes it so the last three colors you were using for the highlighter/ pen are kept. But I think it would be helpful to have it so the colours are saved based on the colors being used in that notebook. For some notebooks I use, black, red, and green ink, and for others, I like to have a color theme to them. If the app was able to just keep the colors previously used for that notebook the same rather than the colors used throughout the whole app.

  14. The ability to import a pdf as a smaller file/image similar to the way Notability lets you import scanned pdfs by giving you two options of either importing it as an image or importing it as a full-scale pdf would be an amazing feature. GoodNotes seems to make it imperative that something must be scanned instead of imported from another source in order to recognize text. This is the case at least when importing images or pdfs that were not OCR'd and have unrendered text in them.

    I feel like this proposal would be helpful, in that, it would allow…

  15. I have been using this app for nearly four years. Recently, I often use your "Add comments" function to make annotations, but there is no "search comments" function to make me confused, because there are 50 or 60 comments on a note, it is difficult to find the comments I want to see in a short time, I really hope to update the "Search comments" function as soon as possible. Best wishes for you.

  17. Being able to select the option on a folder to ‘study all flashcards in folder’ so combine all the flashcards in all the notebooks in the folder.

    Also, make it less easy to tap out of learning flashcards and losing progress.

  18. Like in Quizlet, could there be a progress bar for the flashcards? Like, the percentage of ones that are easy, good, hard, and not done yet?

    I feel like there is so so much potential to improve the flashcards feature!!!

  19. how many tries you need to draw a good looking curly brackets? too many!!
    everyone struggle with curly brackets drawing while taking notes, having the draw and hold shape recognition would make them nicer and reduce time to write and rewrite them.
    vote for it if you draw ugly curly brackets :)
