  1. A eye dropper for the pen and high lighter because a lot of people use this app to study or for calendars (including myself) and some people like to group things with high lighters or underline and it’s pretty hard going back and checking if you got the right color or if it’s slightly lighter or darker especially with the highlights

  2. It would be nice if we could also rearrange flash cards once they’ve been created, instead of having to take the time out to copy the info, duplicate a card in the desired spot, clear the newly duplicated card, and paste/rewrite all the info.

  3. Being able to add images in comments would improve communicative abilities when reviewing docs and also provide the ability to add references/context images to paragraphs that can collapse into just a comment note. ( and don’t occupy space in the actual page )

  4. Currently, GoodNotes offers a few basic actions in Apple Shortcuts.
    I would love to see more advanced actions that allow users to customize their workflows to a greater extend.

    Here are some automations/workflows I could imagine:

    • Shortcut to open the notebook corresponding to the lecture your currently sitting in (by checking your current calendar events)
    • Every evening, automatically check whether I’ve written something to my diary today, if not, prompt me to do so and open the last page
    • Every evening, check which lecture notes were edited, then export them and share them with a friend who doesn’t use GoodNotes

  5. I have a suggestion that I think would make it even more useful for reading and taking notes. When I read a PDF document, I often come across references or links that take me to other pages within the document. This is especially useful when the text contains a reference number or symbol that I need to look up to fully understand the content.

    However, one thing that can be frustrating is when I follow a link to a new page and then want to return to the page I was reading before. In order to do this, I have…

  6. Study sets should be exportable to Anki or other flashcard types so you can easily share them with others.

  7. I feel like this has been asked for multiple times, I love Goodnotes duh but the blue folders are so boring to look at. Having the option to change the colors of them would be very beneficial-especially for organization. If we can have so many notebook options, I feel like we should have some more options with the folders.

  8. i would love to be able to group items (texts, images, stickers, etc) together and be able to move/lock them as one unit. this works for handwritten text through the lasso feature but it doesn't seem to work for others and i think it this could be a great addition!

  9. Please add the ability to export audio from the note-taking separately. It would greatly improve GoodNotes and is currently available in the Notability app.

    • Bullet points and SUB bullet points option in tool bar
    • Change text size through drop down text size menu instead if pressing + and -
    • Presets for Title, Heading, Heading 2, Heading 3 text sizes
    • Being able to choose a default text font
    • Fixing common bug issues like not being able to type, the text box losing its colour, font and text size when copying and pasting, more stable experience

  10. When you write on a din4 template and scan a paper document that is also din4 the ist going to be bigger than the template I use. It might be slightly but the difference makes the papers seem like a different size and on the side edges it is not fixed anymore. I want The paper just to scroll down but now it moves to the side. To fix it I can zoom full out but then the brightness of the pages won’t fill the howl display. Please make it the same size so it won’t move a side.

  11. Ich wünschte mir eine Übersichtsfunktion bei dem Lernset, damit man eine Übersicht aller Karten hat ohne alle durchzuswipen zu müssen.

    Englisch:

    I would like to see an overview function on the learning set so that you have an overview of all the cards without having to swipe through them all.

  12. After the latest update that allows the user to add more than 3 colours, the stroke menu has morphed into this menu that you must click on to expand first and only then will it allow you to choose stroke sizes. Nobody has asked for the latter and please restore it. Thank you

  13. A mini favorites toolbar to add our favorite colors for pens, highlighters, eraser, etc. would be nice to move around on the screen like in Notability!

  14. An option to put the Smart Learning into Shuffle like you’re able to do in learning mode would be nice.

    Also, let us learn our cards flipped too! Especially when learning new vocabulary it is crucial to have „question“ and „answer“ to be asked flipped so we learn both ways. New language—mother tongue, mother tongue—new language equally.

    And one more thing: Have the same option as in the previous Learning decks you have in the notebooks> an option to grade with at least 3 buttons on how good you memorized the card.

  15. On GoodNotes, I have different slide packets for classes, I have to open them one at a time by selecting one, going to back, then selecting another one. If there was a select button to open multiple documents at once, it would be great

  16. 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.

  17. My idea would be that you can create multiple color palettes and scroll back and forth between them.
    For example, you could create a palette for work/school on the first “page” and one for your calendar on the next.

  18. 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.

  19. 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).
