Goodnotes as the better Anki: bigger flash cards, zooming feature and more…
Goodnotes is great. With the flash card option it is even greater and holds the potential to compete with Anki, the best-known provider for the creation of flash cards for effective and sustainable learning, since a lot of students like to write by hand which is not possible with Anki. Especially since the Anki app for tablets is available for the great expense of € 27.99. Goodnotes could attract a lot of customers with an expansion of the feature.
At the moment, however, studying with more detailed flash cards on good notes is very exhausting as the content is displayed in a very small window. Therefore it would be an EXTREMELY ESSENTIAL improvement to make flashcards span the entire screen and make zooming in on complex content (such as tables, grafics etc.) possible.
Here are some more ideas which could be implemented later on:
-Study modes cards in order vs. in shuffle mode for going through cards randomly
-Study modes studying folders as wanted (already availabld) vs. studying all due cards with an adjustable daily maximum (option 1: folder by folder, option 2: folders mixed)
-Reminder of when cards are due
-editing flash cards while studying
-choosing specific flash cards (eg pages 6-34) within documents for studying
-studying flashcards both ways (eg for learning vocabulary)
-a tool that makes one or more areas of the flash card (e.g. lettering of pictures) invisible, which are then shown on the other side; if more than on blank area, automatic creation of flash cards for each blank area
-an overview of when which cards are due and, separately, when which cards were learned.
I myself am a medical student who would be very greatful for the primarily proposed feature of seeing cards on full screen lengh and width as well as being able to zoom in. Without that I am prone to look for other ways to implement flash cards in my ways of studying.
I know A LOT of people that use both Goodnotes and Anki. How GREAT would it be to use only one app combining functional and sustainable learning with beautifully designed flash cards as it is already possible with GoodNotes?

It is an incredible oversight to not improve and highlight this feature.

YES PLEASE. ESPECIALLY MAKING THE WINDOW FULL SCREEN WOULD MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.
