  1. My most used goodnotes notebooks are drastically different page sizes. I often have to switch the font continuously or duplicate an existing text box in the destination notebook in order to have the proper sized font.

  2. Would be so useful if I could sort the tabs in the navigation bar by recently edited or recently viewed and not by when it was first opened.

    Having it locked to sort for when the page was first opened make the tab bar on the top completely useless. I would rather go to home, and find the page, then scroll aimlessly through 25 tabs to find a note I had edited moments ago.

  3. When you select text, either with your finger or your tablet pen, along with the options, like “define”, “highlight”, “strikethrough” you would also have “tape” which would put tape over all of your selected text.
    Example is shown below.

  4. It would be fantastic if the laser pointer could also be used to hide and unhide the tape in my notes!

    I suggest this because during my exam revision I use the laser pointer tool to quickly write the answer to what the tape is concealing. I then have to switch tool to the tape tool to uncover the tape and check my answer.

    Why not have the laser pointer tool hide and unhide the tape in my notes?

  5. It used to work like this, but now it is not. When I present something in AirPlay and want to search something in the Goodnotes file manager, I would like to see that the file manager is hidden and not presented on the screen.

  7. It would be great do get an option to disable the Math Assist AI feature separatly by AppConfig from within an MDM.
    The Goodnotes App is used more often in schools, so the admin need the choice to enable or disable this powerful AI tool.

    1. 질문 : 안드로이드, 애플 간 동기화 기능은 언제쯤 가능 예정인가요?
    2. 기능 제안 : 불러오기 기능을 할 경우 새로운 파일로 굿노트 상에 업데이트 되는 것이 아니라, 앱스토어 앱 중 pdf expert 앱처럼 저장되어 있는 파일을 그대로 불러와서 그 파일 내에 필기가 되는 기능이 있었으면 좋겠습니다. 그럼 해당 파일도 다른 파일과 바로 연동하기 쉽습니다.

  9. When inside a folder somewhere on the screen can you show the file path similiar to windows file explorer so we can simply drag a file to any part of the path rather than clicking the drop down options and then clicking move. Also, the move menu that shows all your files appears on the side when you open a file so you can directly drag and drop would also be great.

  10. Please add this! I love good notes so much but I use an iPad and Samsung phone. I really want to be a digital planner girlie but I don't want to bring my bulky iPad everywhere! I'm so jealous of the iPhone users!

  11. Ability to search flashcards. Have far too many entries to quickly scroll through to make sure I’m not making a duplicate card.

    Hopefully I’m not missing something and this is actually not a real issue

  12. It would be nice to be able to add Excel, Word, etc files to a notebook, similar to how Apple Notes works. It does not need to open in Good Notes it just needs to act like a link to the file so you can pull it up in a separate app.

  13. ファイルをpdfに書き起こす際にファイル名とpdfの名前が同じになるようにしてほしいです。今はpdfの名前が、pdfに書き起こす際にファイル名に関係なく数字やアルファベットのられつのようになってしまっています。

  14. In a document like 400 pages long, you will need to know where you are in the entire document, then Outline window is necessary. Currently the outline window is not linked to the main window, that means when you open 113 page in the main window, the outline window when opened shows first few pages(not linked to the main). You will need to scroll the outline window down to 113 pages, this is not helpful and kills the usefulness of outline window function. The paper based note has power of “at a glance” recognition/grasp of entire document size, PDF need…

  16. When you answer math problems you always need double lines under the answer (at least in Norway), so in addition to dotted lines etc. add double lines as its own, if you try to make to automatic straight lines close to each other they just pull into each other and become one line instead of two

  17. I understand the app is optimized for note taking, Pdf reading and annotation comes second. Yet,Goodnotes became my main go to app. Can you please work on improving the app Pdf/reading features. Top apps in that category are GoodReader, Pdf Expert, PDF viewing…etc

  18. the flashcard function could use improvement. I am unable to bold or even underline my text on the flashcard. I can't even use my pencil to highlight/add notes. There is no way to go from card to card editing without going to the outline each time. The main concern is not being able to bold text in the card since it now all blends in and is not as helpful

  19. The flashcard function could use a lot of improvement. First I copied text from my course notes but then wasn't able to even bold or underline text. I also couldn't use my pen to highlight it. Now the text is all just a blob of words instead of allowing me to indicate important words. Also being able to go back and forth between flashcards and not have to go to the outline every time would be helpful.
