  1. There needs to be an overhaul on the design layout of the flashcards. No matter if I use my iPad Pro, my MacBook Air, my iPhone, or a 34" monitor for studying notes, the flashcards are barley visible.

    such a good tool and idea rendered almost useless by the design...

  2. I sometimes would like to know the amount of documents in one folder. It would be great if the number of documents would stand underneath the documents in the folder or e.g. next to the date of creation before opening the folder.

  3. This app will automatically download all files every time. My iPad storage is full. I hope you can add a function like Apple Books to delete and download a single file.

  6. Imagine someone is writing in black paper with white pencil but he wants to print his notes. It would help if he could choose all the pages he wants to print and change both template of paper as well as the color of the pencil. Especially for the color there could be a choice that says change color A (specifically) to color B so as to not lose all other secondary colors.

  7. I am a teacher from south korea. I use ipad pro for teaching high school students.

    I have 3 ipad pros 12.9 (3,4,5 gen)

    But when I use it solving math problems, i have 3 ipad pro 10.3 12.9->10.3

    I love goodnotes. Even, I have 2 macbook pros for using goodnotes in mac os

    I use cintiq 24pro for solving math problems.

    As I wrote above, I really love goodnotes and I really appreciate your delvelopers in Goodnotes.

  8. My Idea would be that you can Link an document in another Document so you can quickly click on it and get to the document.

  9. When we select a text in a pdf in goodnotes, we should get a 'look up' option similar to apple...
    Where we can instantly see meaning or search web!

  11. It would be great if we could chose the format, which the scanned document should have. Those white bars are failing in its look. Another option would be to make a tool, you can crop your page with and where you can also chose a format. Please do this :)

  12. I hope this gets seen!! It’s been a year!!

    Please let us preset text colours, I use text most of the time as it’s neater.

    I’m sure it’s not that hard to add in presets for text as you’ve already done so for highlighters and pens.

  13. While studying flashcards i often realise I've made a mistake while initially making it. It would be so so useful if there was an option to edit the cards while in study mode. Would make the flashcard feature way more efficient!

  14. Synchronisation from mac to Ipad is really slow. Need to restart app or turn on shared document to synch them faster.. a reload button or faster synch time would be great!

  15. When more than three tabs are open, the fourth one always reloads when you tap on it. I can live with that, it’s fast, but the annoying thing is that it goes back to standard scale every time. Very annoying.

    I also think that todays iPads can fit more than three tabs in the memory.

  16. If would like the option to scale the document to 100% true size. If my template is A4, the document on tahe screen should have same dimensions as real A4 paper.

  18. Enable Apple gestures (think Procreate). Having a fixed toolbar (which doesn’t always respond to Apple Pencil 2 on iPad Pro!) is poor UI design for iPad users.

  19. Please allow page naming. In larger documents it’s so hard to navigate and the outline feature is useless because it can’t be re-ordered. The only way I currently know of is to export to Acrobat, re-order the pages and bring back into Goodnotes but then any annotations are flattened and text becomes uneditable.

  20. It’s almost impossible to write well in goodnotes with the ball point pen. Please provide some settings to improve the smoothness and line to stability
