  1. The ability to mass select flashcards in a pile, either to delete them or to duplicate certain ones. Sometimes I get shared flashcards from classmates but want to delete a number of them at once, which isn’t possible, so I have to delete one by one which is not only tedious but also reduces productivity.

  2. It is very important that the application incorporates a widget for the home screen. A widget will make it easier to quickly enter recent notes or notes that the user has highlighted. The ideal shape is in all sizes with a bookcase style. I want to add that this addition would make the application a real rival to the speed presented by the native apple application. Thank you very much.

  3. I wish we had the ability to change the order of images, like in Microsoft Word. Instead of having to paste images in a certain order for the correct one to be on top, I wish we could click the image and either send it forward or backward.

  4. I'd like it to be easier to create curved lines. For example I'd like to be able to make a rectangle with rounded corners.

  5. When editing flashcards on my mac, once I'm done, I am no longer able to swipe through the cards, I have to exit and go back in to begin swiping through them again.

    Also please add the ability to star/bookmark certain flashcards and study the "starred" set. Thanks!

  6. So, basically, I got .goodnotes file (digital planner imported from pdf) and when I make export file as pdf editable with annotations and background - it creates pdf file (yeey) but most part of hyperlinks are missing, or some layer of text is missing.
    For example - hyperlink to January, February will work, but April will not. Also I did re-check exported pdf into foxit reader - and it also shows that there is no particular hyperlinks but my main file do has. So it means, there is this annoying bug.

    Also, on iPad 9th gen Goodnotes 5 (last updated…

  7. I would like to be able to set a default size of an element going forward. My elements almost always come into the document as huge no matter how big the thing was when I saved it (when using Add Element tool) and I don’t want to reduce file size so they stay high image quality if I do need it at a larger size. I’m usually zoomed in when I add an element to my page so having to zoom out as far as possible and move the element around so I can grab the size change is a…

  8. In Goodnotes 6 there are these beautiful folder icons. But they all feel a bit empty. What if it would show the notebooks inside the folder. This could also make it more clear how many notebooks were in that folder.
    For reference: Planny’s categories

    • having the stats on how well you doing for Study mode flashcards
    • able to view all flashcards in small tabs like for the other notebooks, but add that feature to flashcard because having to edit the first flashcard you made, but you have 100+ total flashcards is soooo time consuming!

  10. I love using goodnotes, however it would be even better if I could get it on my school chromebook. I think that you should make a website where people from any device can access the app on a website, like the notion app. They have a website, that allows that same features as the app.

  11. Allow us to define Bookmark groups: folders/filters which hold pages bookmarked with certain labels.

    I press the bookmark button on a page, this marks the page into an "unsorted" or "default" bookmark folder. When I go to look at my bookmarks for this document, I can then sort them into "Reference", "Revisit", "Inspiring", ... and other folders to better sort my dozens of bookmarks for long documents.

    Bonus points if I can color code the bookmarks too!

  12. It would be extremely useful to be able to do things such as paste an image and annotate it when making flash cards. There are many instances where this would be useful, and would also serve as a quality of life improvement for many students like myself, and across a wide range of subjects.

  13. Ich vermisse einen Button, mit dem man von der Ordnerstruktur, das Fenster mit den bereits geöffneten Tabs wieder öffnen kann, ohne dafür ein anderes Dokument aus den Ordnern öffnen zu müssen.
    So wie es bei den geöffneten Tabs oben links in der Ecke einen Pfeil zurück gibt, nur eben in die andere Richtung.

  14. 给大家伙儿提个醒儿!
    当年升级订阅模式,Notability内置了个Classic,原有用户可享有原先全部功能;Goodnotes可退回5,但原先享有的不少功能被偷偷限制。你仔细品品!
