  1. I hate that the new update collapsed pen sizing into a drop menu. This messes with my workflow because I tend to do fast pen switching and now it feels more clunky now that there's a fourth color option. Please allow for toolbar editing/rearranging.

  2. To make the new flashcard feature even more useful, it would be great to be able to insert math equations using inline LaTeX/MathJax notation. (Similar to what’s possible with Anki).

  3. I don't know why there are two options
    1.Making flashcards using flashcards template
    2.Making flashcards using study sets
    Instead you can combine both to make it best .Read following point to know how ...
    1.There should be only one option to make flashcards (either by "Flashcard" / "Studyset" name )
    2. In this we can make our flashcard with all those options that are present in making flashcard using flashcard template
    a.Like editing image-by cropping it ,writing on it etc ,unlike studysets where we get only 3 options (text,image & sketching)

    b.Could share only selected flashcards instead of sharing whole…

  4. Make export work. Currently most exports are lacking some characters, sometimes multiple characters, and different ones in different versions of the file.

  5. I WOULD FIND IT REALLY HELPFUL IF GOODNOTES GOT THE FEATURE TO PLAY RECORDED AUDIO FILES IN THE IOS BACKGROUND EVEN IF SCREEN IS LOCKED.

  6. Could you please add flash card notifications, where goodnotes sends out a notification when it’s the recommended time to study the flashcards again? Like helping the spaced practice be more effective by prompting the user it’s time to review those cards again?

    And also have a todo list within the goodnotes app itself on the side which shows the sets that need to be done, and the tasks only go away once you do them with a satisfying animation.

  7. So your hold to draw feature is really great. But when I make circle and hold the pen instead of drawing a circle shape it returns a square or rectangular shape. Therefore, I request you to pls add a feature to draw circles when you hold the pen after drawing a rough shape

  8. In the last update the 3 pen thickness options have disappeared from the tool bar to make space for the more colors options. As students, need to change the THICKNESS of the pens very quickly and countless times when taking notes.

    PLEASE BRING IT BACK ON THE TOOLBAR!!

  9. Change logged in user:

    Currently I am automatically logged into my Microsoft Account for Work/School. However my notes are on my private account.

    Logging in and out automatically logs you into School account quite rapidly (which can be good in some cases). However it would be beneficial to have a "Change account logged in" option.

    TLDR: Add a change logged in user or stop auto-verification of login of microsoft account to allow one to choose which one you want to log in on.

  10. Vielen Dank für die Umsetzung meiner Idee in erster Linie.

    Es wäre super, wenn man die Farbstifte nur in einem Einstellungsmodus hinzufügen könnte. Auch wäre super, wenn die Stiftstärke wieder links der Farbstifte mit 3 verschiedenen Dicken verfügbar wäre.

    Noch besser wäre, wenn die Gesamte Leiste einstellbar wäre.

  13. These three things are much needed
    Auto Detection of Arrows is very helpful in many cases
    Dotted Lines/Dashed Lines are very necessary in Making Diagrams especially in mathematics and physics
    Duplicate feels more easy than copy and pasting the thing, adding duplicate with copy will save time
    Inverting PDF too seems necessary sometimes

    Only because of these 4 functions I have to sometime switch to notability and it does not feel good cause I have paid for GoodNotes

  14. Pretty much the title, just like normal documents you can share the flashcards with one link and can collaborate and real time add on to it with your friends.

  15. Möglichkeit das man die Sortierung in „Datum“, „Titel“ und „Art“ nur Lokal in jeder Unterebene vornimmt. In der Ordner Übersicht könnte man also zum Beispiel nach „Titel“ sortieren und im jeweiligen Ordner nach „Datum“.

  16. It would be awesome to have the possibility to save an individual color palette for typed texts just like it is for handwritten texts. At the moment there’s just the option to save one explicit favourite text style respectively text color.

  17. I've been using Good Notes for university and life in general for two years now, and there are several features that would make the app a much better place to study.
    I've thought about them and here they go (my native language isn't english so sorry if i make mistakes):

    -The audio option could be better (it would be great to be able to leave them inserted as stickers in any part of the sheet and thus divide the audio into sections, and that when pressed the previously recorded audio would sound). Also give them names and that they are…

  19. The handwriting experience in GoodNotes 4 is much better, because the fountain pen is not that exaggerated like in GoodNotes 5. Please optimise this.

  20. I think adding a tool for drawing curves for diagrams that for example engineering students must draw for their notes will be very helpful like the one exists in CollaNote.
