  2. When you import an image as a flash card you can’t write on it at all with a pen. While you could edit the image before importing it, it would help if you could import say a labelled diagram of a cell and you could blackout one individual label and put the label as the answer on the other side of the flash card. This could help you with one diagram making easily 6+ Flashcards in a minute directly from lecture notes making it a lot easier.

  3. Having either side of the flash card possibly show up in the deck, and you would have to recall the other side. An example would be learning German and you need to know how to translate English to German but also German to English. So you would only have to make one flash card for recalling the word in both “directions”.

  4. I use the stroke thickness A LOT.

    The new update has hidden the stroke width selectors.
    I understand that you need the space for more colors, and am fine with the updated setup.

    A “swipe up/down on icon” gesture to change the stroke’s thickness solves my problem pretty well, without needing a buttons and layout redesign.

    The current 2 tap design has killed off my speed. I didn’t realise that a single additional tap would derail me so much.

  5. It would be very nice if there could be many features added like more pen options like marker, pencil, calligraphy, etc. it would also be nice if there could be a streamline feature so that when you write, the handwriting isn’t so “jerky” or “jittery.” It would also be nice if the highlighters didn’t overlap.

  6. Ability to handwrite a math equation and then circle it using the lasso tool and then convert it to a high-resolution math equation written using the system font.

  7. Don't always download files from iCloud and then load them back into Goodnotes. Where is the sense? Direct folder linking from iCloud folders in GoodNotes 5 would improve the work process enormously. For example, open PDF files directly and edit them in GN and then close them with one click and everything is saved in iCloud again.

  8. Detatch the color palette for markers and pens so you can change colors quickly and move wherever you want. The palette could be moved freely and displayed vertically or horizontally. The background could be translucent but the colors in the palette could be shown correctly (rn Night mode shows highlighters colors in a weird way)

  9. Currently the flash card is shown in the same document, so one needs to open different notebooks to read flashcards in them.it will be very beneficial if all the flash cards from different notebooks appear at a single place so that space repetition can be utilised at a single place in a better way.

  11. Goodnote provide 'delete page' now (green box in attached picture).
    It removes all note on the current page.

    I want expanded function.
    1. delete broader range - like delete whole document removal
    2. delete mode - choose between pen or highlighter

  12. How about making 'non remain pen'?
    Sometimes I solve problems by Goodnote.
    I solve the same problem over and over again for practice.
    I only mark the score, so I want to remove my solution.

    A pen that doesn't remain on the document will help.
    Like 'closing the file without save' pen

  13. Tool to highlight specific words/phrases/diagrams and back-link them all together. Would work similar to the search function for words but would allow you to create faster connections between ideas by simply clicking on the linked text in the note.

    Could even automatically take all back linked pieces of text and combine into one temporary page.

  14. I really like how on Super note to erase, you just hold two fingers on the screen and then start erasing anything you want. It is tiring to constantly double tap to erase one character, and it takes too long to tap the eraser icon to erase more than one character.

  15. In the most recent update you changed the copy and paste text to the formatting of where you copied it from instead of the formatting I already have on the text box. Please change it back to how it was before the update where whatever I copied and pasted is the same formatting I have in my text box!!

  17. when resizing handwriting or images, allowing the user to snap back to the original size would be helpful as some people may only want to rotate/change orientation of the object without changing size.

  18. I know the Windows version for GoodNotes is still in the Beta, but I would like to suggest making it like the App Version. I'm also missing the Text tool. I'm only working on my desktop pc, so it's useless to use GoodNotes. It would be such a blast if this could be added in the future to make it useable for everyone.

  19. If using the color of a highlight as a status indicator (such as low, medium, or high priority, for instance), it would be convenient to be able to change the color of an existing highlight instead of deleting the highlight, changing the color of the highlighter, and then re-highlighting the text or area.

    CLARIFICATION: While it is possible to select the highlight and use the Color option to select a different color, the colors that are presented are NOT the sames colors available as choices when the Highlighter tool is active.

  20. I use a lot of power point in pdf in just one page to see my class quicker. It would be great if GoodNotes had PDF printout just like the second picture. Also I would like to have more zoom and thinner pencil widths to be able to write more .
