  1. When you underline some text, you have to switch quickly of colour: it will bee great to have the possibility to use a command/tab shortcut to pass from one favorite colour to another...

  2. It would be great if there was the option to edit a flashcard while in practice/smart learn mode. Sometimes you spot errors while studying and when you do, at the moment you have to leave study mode and swipe through all your flashcards to fix it.

  4. It would be really great if you could add pages to the right, left, top and bottom. At the moment you can only add pages either top and bottom or right and left.

  5. Different suggestion from the much needed sub-outlines (see the 600+ voted on suggestion by Daniel Wyatt “Sub-Outlines in Outline”) which would bring in a collapsible feature in Outline.

    This is about being able to assign, to different elements of the outline, headings which would be integrated into the Outline system. Right now the document may have different internal headings, but if I add these to the GoodNotes Outline, they are difficult to keep in their actual order.

    The suggestion is as follows :
    Include the most common and convenient method to add headings using the # (as is possible in…

  8. It would be great if there was a feature so that you could cut a page to the content. This would allow you to cut out unnecessary lines at the end of a page and improve the layout of the notebook.

  12. I’d like the option to, when creating a notebook, be able to have it generate a certain (customizable) number of pages ahead of time so I don’t have to add them one at a time later

  13. When I download .pdf files such as study guides for my classes, I love to highlight each question and add a comment to it which allows me to use active recall and organize the answers directly to the comments, this is awesome!

    What would compliment this is allowing whatever is highlighted with an embedded comment, to also have an option to view both the highlighted part and it’s comments in it’s own page! For example, I would love to share my comments that I have made for the questions on my study guide, and have what I’ve typed already attached…

  16. For Goodnotes 6, the search function is way poorer than it was in Goodnotes 5. It was now harder to search for some words that I can easily find in Goodnotes 5. I don’t want to have a downgrade though so please, please improve the search button to find more accurate.

    If it’s not too much to ask, could we have an option as well to change color of searched words in search button? Because it’s only in orange color and it’s hard if we we’re using orange highlighter.

    Thank you so much.

  18. Goodnotes and Notability should join forces and combine all their good factors and ideas to create a super note taking app. You could call it
    'Supernote'. All other name ideas can be mentioned in comments.

  20. Infinte Page / Extra Space for notes when editing a PDF

    I'd LOVE to see this! Like, I use the vertical orientation when I take notes / edit a PDF and I think what would really elevate the App would be if there was the option to not only add pages below my last one but sidewise to every other page es well.

    Like right now you can do this:

    Page
    Page
    Page
    Page
    (swipe to add new page)

    And I really need the feature to add like "note pages" next to ever page like

    Main Page (swipe to add…
