  2. Search by filtering stickers.
    I use the stickers to highlight important passages of the texts; it would be very useful to filter the pages where there are some stickers or, even better, being able to search and filter for a specific sticker.
    Thanks

  3. I will love to be able to annotate and highlight key points on my flashcards after creating them using the text function. I was using study sets for a presentation and thought that will be a great feature.

  4. Just like how you can add new presets for text color, allow users to edit the presets for the text boxes.

  6. It would be a significant timer saver if I could go straight to the share sheet to export pages or whole notebooks directly from the export menu. I’m a teacher, and part of my workflow requires me to collect scanned copies of student work for markup and return.

    To return this material is always needlessly time consuming because I have to confirm every time I want to share that I want to share in a specific format (PDF).

    There should be a way to toggle the export criteria so that we can go straight to the share sheet rather than…

  9. GoodNotes automatically organizes documents by Date, Name or Type. Since I have so many documents, it can be hard to find what I'm looking for or what I use the most. For example, I would prefer to have my Planner as the #1 document, but it's not possible since I use other documents intermittently (Date), my planner is not first alphabetically (Name) and my folders always come first (Type). If I could just click and drag where I'd like my documents, I would be able to organize my space much better.

  11. Since we have vertical scroll, i would like to see an option for chapter scrolling.
    For Example: If vertical scroll is enabled (for pages), you can use horizontal scroll for scrolling through chapters. If pages scroll horizontal, chapters could scroll vertical.

    Together with page links - i think - this could be a great boost for structuring notebooks and usability.

    This may include the creations of chapters or - if not possible - using outlines (as "start" of chapters)

  12. It would be really nice to be able to have an archive of study sets you don‘t need anymore e.g. for a subject i won‘t continue in the future. I don‘t want to delete them, but i also don‘t need to review them anymore so I don‘t need them in my inbox anymore.

  13. It would be very helpful to split screen with vertically stacked screens so that Ipads can be used in the portrait orientation and make effective use of the screen space.

  14. Dear GoodNotes 5 Developers,

    I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out as a long-term user and fan of GoodNotes 5 to share some suggestions for potential app improvements. I have been using GoodNotes for over a year now, and I believe implementing the following features would greatly enhance the overall user experience:

    Addition of Dotted or Dash Stroke Styles: It would be fantastic to have the option of using dotted or dashed strokes while writing or drawing. These stroke styles can be beneficial for creating charts, diagrams, or for emphasizing certain elements within our notes. I…

  15. Please add an ability to randomize the order of your cards like in practice mode.

    I just checked in practice mode and now i created many card for which it makes no sense to see them in the order they were created in.

    Thank You so much!

  18. With GoodNotes 6 as you wrote, it creates massive lines across a page as if there had been other pressure on the screen when this isn’t the case.

  20. The upper toolbar, where we the share-button or the undo-button are sadly is in a dark grey colour. I would wish that the customer can choose an arbitrary colour or even theme for this upper toolbar. For example OneNote is purple and in Notability the theme of the background and the toolbar can be changed.
    Thanks in advance.
