  2. It’d be really nice if we had the option to move one Audio clip from one journal to another, I know we can import an existing .Goodnotes file with audio into a journal, but it would be nice to be able to just move the audio itself, and none of the pages.

    or copy and move that audio file from one journal to another. Sometimes when learning complex processes that relate to each other but are in separate classes, it’s nice to have the audio clip that references from another subject next to the second subject in the same journal…

  3. In case of a big book it’s really hard to navigate through pages. Even though there is an option in the bar to switch to a different page, it is time taking. You can just add an icon below or allow the user to tap the page number notification below to quickly switch to a particular page number as in Xodo and other apps. Otherwise it’s really time consuming.

  5. Hey

    I‘m studying philosophy and we have a lot of PDFs we have to read. While reading it is sometimes necessary to make notes beside the text, but often the PDF itself does not give enough space to properly write anything.

    Currently I use the MarginAdjuster app (on iPad) to extend the space left/right to each PDF page and THEN import it into GoodNotes.

    It would be awesome to have some similar functionality directly in the app itself.

    Thanks!

  6. On GoodNotes, I have different slide packets for classes, I have to open them one at a time by selecting one, going to back, then selecting another one. If there was a select button to open multiple documents at once, it would be great

  7. Add an option in settings where the pages flip over like a real book does. Like the iOS reading app does.

  8. Similar to bookmarks or outline, make it possible to see higlighted quotes / pages.
    For easier referencing and reading important - highlighted information.

  9. To set the thickness of the pen/highlighter, the manual line space (when you deactivate "Automatic") etc. you have to move a slider to the left/right.
    Left to the slider is a number showing the current setting. The number updates, when you move the slider or press on the "minus"/"plus" symbol next to it.

    It would be great, if you could add an additional feature, where I can just tap on the number left to the slider and change the value by typing in the desired number.

    This would save a lot of time. Specially when you want to set the…

  11. It would be of most use if a specific note on the sheet could be associated with an audio file saved in the notes. For example there could be a dot that prompts to the audio saved (the same way comments work), while also being able to change its name and description!

  12. I usually work on PDF files and using highlight tool to highlight important parts or take notes with pen tool. I can do this with GoodNotes. What I can not do save my work (highlights, notes or other stuff) to my original imported document. I have to export if I want but I think is not a good way, Some other apps can do this, when you work on a document it asks you to reflect work to original document and reflects if you approve.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  18. 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!

  19. 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…

  20. 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…
