  1. I would like the highlight tool to work as a copy select tool works. When moving the pen along page we will be able to highlight. As well as implementing tapping to remove highlights.

    Instead of having to lift pen to move down a row to highlight you just glide over the selected text you would like to highlight.

    It would be much more efficient this way. I noticed this inconvenience when switching to apples book reading tool and highlighting in there was much more seamless. Thank you for taking the time to read this if you did.

  4. 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.

  6. I’m loving the flashcard feature so far, but I have a friend that uses another app that let him to allocate photos and text in the same card and i thought this ideia would improve a lot my studies, and another suggestion that i have in mind is to allow the share feature in the flash cards, because i would like to have a group of studies with my colleagues, tks!

  9. 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.

  10. Presentation mode is helpful, and I like the laser pointer. However, I would truly appreciate it if we had a quick access 'clear page' that's available, especially in Presentation mode so that we can annotate while teaching and just quickly add notes ⇒ removing them instantly when done.

  11. As I do not need the reminder to learn old study sets of the past semester, I would really look forward to establishing the possibility to deactivate study sets with regards to smart learning. Otherwise I always have to delete my studysets to get no notification any more.

  12. I usually have multiple open documents. When I start GoodNotes on my iPad, it often starts in the files view. To go to my open documents, I need to open a new document (or one that is already open).

    Can you add a button to go from the files view to the documents view?

  13. Add a button in the Bar at the top, similar to the pen layout. There is tons of empty space and the only button gives a short explanation on how to use it. There could easily be a button to convert to text, math, copy, paste, etc. Instead you have to click through the menu that pops up by holding with your finger, requiring you to drop the pen etc. This would improve workflow and is an easy implementation. Seems like forgoten feature.

  14. I am loving the new typing mode, but an important limitation is it does not currently support writing test in at least two columns (even in the default two- and three-column templates).

    Furthermore, the potential workaround of "manually" making columns by tabulating the gap between the desired columns in each line does not work either: after a couple of tabs, the cursor immediately moves down to the next line.

    This would be especially useful for e.g. typing vocabulary lists in two languages (one per column) or making long lists with short entries more compact (in terms of numbers of pages).

  15. I want to refer to the full form of these abbreviations, as these abbreviations are used in every page. I have to switch to this page after reading every line later as the abbreviations are used frequently. If I could attach a note of these abbreviations with the full forms which would be displayed on every page, so it would become easier for me to refer to the full forms.

  18. It will be very helpful to have a widget opción for the Home Screen, so you can open a specific document directly from the Home Screen. Please make it happened. 🙏🏼🫶🏼

  19. Hello... You can add the feature of sharing the audio recordings that are recorded in the program because it is very necessary for every user + and there is a small problem that when I change the location of the file, the audio recording stops working... Thank you.

  20. I would love if there was an option, when importing a PDF, to import it with a standardized and beautiful style, with text formatting, spacing, etc., sort of like Omnivore or Kindle. It would make reading PDFs on GoodNotes so much nicer of an experience. You could go even further and have options to increase text, change the color background, etc., like you can on the Kindle app.
