  1. Having an option to disable the smart learn mode for a given study set feels essential. As of now, a study set that I used Smart Learn mode on one time keeps notifying me in the menu forever, while I don’t need to learn it anymore.

    This also risks keeping me from finding the sets that I need to study now, in the midst of all past study sets.

    I don’t want to delete them, I just wish I could disable the smart learn mode/notifications for specific sets.

  3. Windows, Web & Android need to be included with the purchases of Mac and IOS versions. Currently Goodnotes 6 has a one time purchase and yearly subscription for the Apple versions but only has yearly options for Windows, Web & Android. As someone who has a windows computer but also an ipad i have to pay 10$ a year to have my account work on both windows and ios. By the time I finish college my total in yearly subs will come out to almost three ios one time purchases. The one time purchase needs to include all platforms and…

  4. It helps to know if you see the number of the Flash Card when in Practice Mode.

    And maybe add a feature, where one can categorise the flash cards when in practice mode. Sure, Uncertain, Don't know. This would help when reviewing a lot of flashcards so that if one only want to study the flash cards in chapter 3 that one can not memorise that well and not spend time on the ones one already knows.

  6. When annotating an image, and then clicking on the image, the writing gets brought to the "back" layer, and annotations are lost. Keep the writing on the picture as if it's already grouped and part of the image.

  7. You can scan documents for the template, but not for the photo tool. I think adding this feature to the tool would be very helpful in many cases.

  8. When you first open the app for a few seconds it pops up the most recent document you have opened. This looks vary unprofessional and needs to be changed.

    I suggest a screen with the app logo and a color theme.

  9. Return the favorite page tab to the upper left corner. It was removed with the addition of the recording feature, which is cool but now we have to go through more steps just to add a favorite page.

  10. I love using GoodNotes for taking notes in school and I think it would be a good feature to add the possibility of scanning a formula using the AI from PhotoMath to solve a equation and give the answer.

  11. Dear team,

    I would like to suggest an enhancement to your tool’s functionality that I believe would significantly enrich the user experience. Would it be possible to implement a feature that allows users to highlight or select a specific text and, with a simple click, set it as the title of a summary? Additionally, it would be extremely helpful if, upon performing this action, the user could view a list of titles already created for summaries, thus avoiding duplications.

    Another valuable feature would be the ability to standardize the text of the summaries, including options to change the text to…

  12. Currently in experimental nmode, there is no way to see all flash cards in a study set, nor to move them to different sets. In case that isn‘t planned: that would be crucial for the feature to be usable properly.

  13. Please consider adding the option to just record audio without stroke links. Just an on/off toggle option for this would suffice.

    I personally never rely on this feature. Also these days Goodnotes has been crashing a lot during audio recording (even though I’m using iPad Pro M2 which should be pretty competent), and when I reopen the app the recording is lost, which is quite an inconvenience. So I wonder if turning it off would help prevent the app from crashing, and maybe reduce file size as a bonus.

    Much appreciated if you could consider this.

  15. Hello,
    I love the ruler which comes with the latest update.
    I use the checkered sheet template in Din A4. Normally one box is 0.5cm long. The template from Goodnotes is a bit bigger. That's good, because I'm a teacher and so the students see a little better via the beamer, because just everything is a little bigger what I write. However, the ruler doesn't fit with it, of course. The students are used to 2 boxes being 1cm. But you offer your ruler only in cm and inch. Would it be possible to also add an option that fits…

  16. I tend to upload my PDFs into GoodReads based on author names and years, and I have reading lists for particular subjects with pages.

    I would appreciate it when preparing hyperlinks in the reading to pdf documents I could use a search bar to find the actual document quickly.

  17. the free Mosyle version doesn't meet our license key installation requirements because it doesn't support AppConfig in order to push the license key to devices.
    Please provide another method to install the license key.

  18. Having a highlighter feature when you are typing notes without having to use an Apple Pencil. Make easier to keep track / organizing notes.

  19. Please add a function so that we can embed audio and video files just like images into good notes. Or at least that we can link them, but embedding would way better. Thank you.

  20. User can pinch in and out on iPad to zoom in/out on the 12 month planner. User can import their historical planner data (from other sources) from the past decades of their life into the template (infinite free form canvas) to view the master plan of their life. The unique selling point is the digitally typed text or stylus written text in each “day” box of the planner are auto word wrap within the confines of the box border with infinite space in the “vertical depths” of each day box. User can add images, videos and links too. User can…
