  1. I have had multiple documents that needs to be synced but they generally take their own time before syncing. If there can be a button to force sync all files to cloud that would save me so much headache and time.

  2. I’ve been using the app extensively for note-taking and organization, and I believe that the addition of a toggle menu feature would be incredibly beneficial. This feature could streamline navigation and provide a more efficient way to access different sections within the app. By allowing users to toggle between various menus seamlessly, it would make the overall experience more intuitive and user-friendly.

  4. Hello Goodnotes team, apple introduced the interactive widgets with ios 17. I think it is fantastic, if you add the vocabulary function to the interactive widgets. apple showed it with the example of quizlett in the WWDC. If you add this you can learn easy your vocabularys on your Home screen by swiping between the apps.

  5. Please add the possibility to scale the background opacity. With a lower opacity of the background on import, changes would be clearly visible.

  6. Larger Thumbnails. One of the great things about keeping notes in a paper notebook is that you can quickly skim through previous notes. You flip through pages very quickly finding what you're looking for. Thumbnail view is the best way to do this with digital note taking. Please give the option to increase the size of the thumbnail to make this easier.

    1. Recordings should serve as links to the notebook page you wrote them on. If you’re listening to a recording, it should automatically hop to the page you were writing on at that part of the recording
    2. Ability to rename, delete, and split recordings
    3. Ability to adjust speed when listening to a recording

  7. I tried the new study set fission, and I love the concept.
    The only problem I have with are:

    1 not being able to see and jump trough all my flashcards
    2 having to press twice on the question/answer cart to be able to edit, and the fact that hey open in a different section completely, this is a little annoying since I cannot see my question when I'm writing the answer

  8. I hate that the new update collapsed pen sizing into a drop menu. This messes with my workflow because I tend to do fast pen switching and now it feels more clunky now that there's a fourth color option. Please allow for toolbar editing/rearranging.

  9. Please setup a note just like “Freeform”which you can write nonstop and connect ideas together on an unlimited screen
    Love the recording feature however if you can set it up to play from the point you touch your slide or when you wrote something it will much helpful.

    If they are sounding vague please give me a call and I can explain more

  10. Hello! I love the new option to record notes, it's a game changer!

    Would it be possible for the app to remember the laser pointer when recording?

    So I could speak and record notes showing what I mean by the laser pointer as I speak before the laser pointer is recorded and displayed when the recording is played?

    Thank you:)

  11. It seems there has been a change in a text box function.
    The text box didn't move until I selected [T] or text function.
    But now, with a slight touch with my hand or finger, the text box is selected and moves around. This is very inconvenient because I usually take notes by typing. I have more than 150 pages written down and now whenever I try to review the materials with my apple pencil, it moves.

    In the video I intended to touch it with my hand because this happens suddenly. I hope you fix this problem.

  12. Allow the creation of slides which "build", like PowerPoint's "appear" animation, without making multiple pages.

    I am a university professor; my colleagues and I use GoodNotes heavily both for teaching and presenting our research at scientific conferences. One of the last advantages PowerPoint has over GoodNotes, for our use, is the slide animation feature, where objects on a single slide can be made to appear one at a time when the slides are presented. To replicate this behavior in GoodNotes right now, the standard technique is to build the slide over multiple pages, using the page duplication feature. However, this…

  15. Hi, I love to write handwriting on slides, but sometimes the space isn‘t enough. That‘s why I love the comment feature, but I would love if the comments were possible to be handwritten as well. Right now it‘s only possible to add keyboard-written text, please add an option to fill the comment-space with handwriting! Sometimes its also nice to add little pictures/graphs that you draw in the comment space.
    Thanks :)

  16. I would like to be able to mark which flash cards I don’t want to study, just like you can mark a page as favourite. Because I made flashcards for my entire chapter, but I only need to study certain things from that chapter. It would be nice to just be able to disable s the flashcards you don’t want to study.

  18. To scale imported photos with one point pined and then drag one of the other points to the ideal location. This is more convenient in locating the photo in the place you want than the current scaling photos from the middle.

  19. When inserting a picture taken by camera at real time, I need the scanned version, rather than the original picture. This function is supported by OneNote a long time ago, and they call it "Blackboard" mode in the camera. I hope this can be added to GoodNotes as well. Thank you~
