  1. I wish there was a feature similar to the one on Notability that allows you to place a sticker over information that you are studying. When you tap the sticker, it reveals the information underneath. This would be helpful when studying diagrams or portions of your notes.

  2. The current zoom-in zoom-out is frustrating in that it does not allow the user to move the page, we instead move around a fixed point. In procreate were able to move the page any which way we want and I believe this would allow for greater flexibility on how a user can write their notes.

  3. I love the tool and have a few of them.
    In order to structure my content I would like to be able to move my notebooks around in my folder.

    I have noted some storting to take place but,

    Tag a set of favourites and show them on top in my folder or a dedicated folder would be good
    - sort by drag would be advanced
    - sort by keywords

    I would also like to be able to merge notebooks in a way that I can drag my source on target and via control question be able to move (merge)…

  4. It would be amazing if you could select what note cards you want to study at one time. Some material is harder than others, thus you only need to see certain material once or twice, while other materials need to be seen multiple times.

    I can make 200+ index cards and I need to be able to learn them efficiently.

  5. Voice Note Annotations

    It would be nice to insert a voice note annotation some paragraph or lines that we feel so.

    Like our voice, explaining the meaning or a mneumonic related to that particular sentence paragraph, so that we can just click on that voice button and hear what was our thought about it when we read that before.

    At present, it’s collection of voice notes for the entire notes which we cannot be renamed or edited, and is not specific to particular Pages.

    So the newly added voice feature should be improved.

  9. Study sets should be exportable to Anki or other flashcard types so you can easily share them with others.

  10. My niece is using Goodnotes in school and she is visually impaired. The "zoom in" is not enough for here to properly see text or to write herself. In other apps e.g. "PDF Expert", the zoom can enlarge the screen more than it can be enlarged in GoodNotes. If you fix that, I will be grateful.

  11. Currently when you go to Thumbnails it always starts at page 1. This can be inconvenient during lectures when you don't have a lot of time to lose during the writing of your notes.

    For example of you have a pdf with about 100 pages and you are currently at page 60. If you want to go back about ten pages from where you're at (so to p.50). Then you need to scroll all the way down from p.1 to p.50 instead of just 10 pages up.

    This is even more inconvenient if you don't know the exact page number…

  12. Dear Goodnotes,

    Allow the text to carry over to the next page continuously like in a word document. Where the number lists continue as well. Furthermore, if any new additions where made to a page, the parts that would have previously fit but don't fit anymore can be carried over to the next page automatically. Currently neither the numbers are able to continue, nor am I able to add to a previously page without have notes disappearing.

    I know that Goodnotes is designed for a page to be contained and formatted to a single document, but full page 'typing mode'…

  13. It would be awesome to have the ability to group pages by number sets (or customizable keywords) and paste to multiple pages at once. I use goodnotes as my digital planner. It would be great if I could paste my recurring daily tasks or appointments to all of my days or specific days of the week that they occur, i.e 3:30 monday swim class to all of my mondays.

  17. Make Extra Margin Space In Imported PowerPoints
    It would be super nice to have extra space to write sentences and phrases on the side or under imported PowerPoint instead of only being able to write on the slide. Writing on the slide helps highlight terms etc, but doesn't help any extra information a teacher/professor may say out loud, that's not a part of the slide.

  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!
