  1. When writing a study set, the action of moving to the next square is not natural. i have to swipe several times to move on. I would like you to improve this. In particular, I feel uncomfortable because I don't go with two fingers when using the trackpad.

    I sincerely wish your company endless development.

    Thank you.

  2. This is what I primarily use the app for, this version is really disappointing for this reason, making students in my study group all purchase this makes me using his app useless, I’m going to look for another one with shareable flashcards features, it’s too bad I really liked this one

  4. After the latest update which is the addition of voice recording into the toolbar, the brace cursor disappeared. I think the toolbar customization feature should be offered because the sidebar for the pages does not work effectively, especially for large pdf(s) (for ex. while I am looking at page 123 the sidebar stays at page 4). Thus, adding a brace for any page becomes frustrating.

  5. Please add support for automatic backup to pCloud as well as importing easily from pCloud.

    They have a public API that should make this a relatively easy task.

    Thanks

  6. Often I find myself needing to copy/paste to change the position of an item so that it is layered properly.

    Apparently, the options to “Sent to Front” and “Send to Back” have ben added, but I don’t see how to use them. This also doesn’t solve the problem fully.

    We need to be able to move by a single layer as well. The additional options to “Move Forward” or “Move Back”, would completely resolve this and the number of other requests for the same thing.

    Ideally, using the lasso tool to select any number of objects including handwriting, or long…

  7. I'd like to be able to remove pens/etc from the selection area so that I can access more colors / tip selections. Also the scrolling is annoying. I only need the pen, eraser, marker and maybe the shapes.

  8. Add a duplicate button for selected lasso regions, images, text, etc.
    this makes the workflow much faster

    Make copy-pasting faster by allowing for tapping the screen to bring up a menu that includes the "past button" instead of the tap-and-hold function.

  9. Currently only rectangular borders are available for a text box. I would like to be able to change this to a circle or an oval and have it auto size around the text.

  10. Now I have to click then select stroke size, which is make me get slower. Before It appeared in the toolbar and I only do one click, but for now two click is required. For me adding more colors doesn’t necessary (at all), I don’t always change the colors, but I always change the stroke size, so bring it back please 🙏🏼, I’m so upset to click for change stroke size, can you make me change immediately whenever I want to.

  12. Its great that Goodnotes is using flash card and similar spaced repetition to ANKI. We need the ability to create and share flash cards between the windows PC and Ipad. So i can create flash cards on a windows pc and then sync to my ipad and vice versa.

  14. We are able to record audios using GN but once inside the app it is impossible to get them to use a 3rd party to get the transcripts

    It would be nice if we can download the files or get them out of good notes

  15. 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.

  16. Do add other payment options. It is not possible for all students to have access to credit cards. Add options like UPI, Net banking, Auto payment enablement (Like the one Netflix uses) etc.

  17. I think, tabs and notebooks should remember several settings, such as the scaling of the notebook, the pen style, and probably several other settings.

  18. It would be great to be able to export study sets and/or flashcards into a printable form that would be the size of a notecard, to be folded over and made into a physical card.

  19. When reviewing our study sets, it should be possible to decide the number of Q-cards we wish to review from all the study sets we've generated in a single session. For instance, if I have a study set with 90 Q-cards, but I prefer to be quizzed on the initial 30 Q-cards exclusively, I should be able to pick those 30 Q-cards and focus solely on them. This approach allows us to study in segments, and when we feel prepared, we can then test ourselves on all 90 Q-cards.

  20. 追加していただきたい機能の案です。フォルダを選択した際に、フォルダ内のファイル数が表示されると非常に使いやすくなると思います。仕事、プライベートともに毎日頻繁に使っているアプリですが、アップル純正のファイル・アプリのようにファイル数が表示されないので、その都度自分で数を数えなくてはいけないのがやや不便に感じています。将来のアップデート版でこの機能が搭載されることを願っています。
