  1. Recently accessed folders deserve to be put more noticeable. While sorting in alphabetical order and type do include folder, isn’t it great to get folders included? Especially if you work with folders a lot?

  2. Please add an option to open documents with “page width view” (just like what we have in Microsoft Word) to zoom the page so that the width of the page match the width of the screen (fit to page width).

    I use my iPad in landscape mode and whenever I open a document in Goodnotes, I have to double tap it to view the document in page width view. There should be an option to make this default. Notability opens documents in page width view without doing anything.

  7. have a great idea! Please implement this feature, i can imagine that many users have the same issues.

    I I am creating multiple cards in a learn set, Goodnotes will ask me at the next day to repeat every card. If you have written many card (like 50-70) it can be really hard to learn everything at just one day.
    My idea: the activation of cards. You can decide how many cards you want to activate. Only activated cards will be taken into account at the repetition. That would be super helpful!
    Thank you!

  9. 追加していただきたい機能の案です。フォルダを選択した際に、フォルダ内のファイル数が表示されると非常に使いやすくなると思います。仕事、プライベートともに毎日頻繁に使っているアプリですが、アップル純正のファイル・アプリのようにファイル数が表示されないので、その都度自分で数を数えなくてはいけないのがやや不便に感じています。将来のアップデート版でこの機能が搭載されることを願っています。

  10. One of the abilities that individuals in the digital age still possess is calligraphy, which was practiced in the classical era before the invention of the digital pen. Now that artificial intelligence is a tremendous aid and can assist humans, you must, in my opinion, add a feature to your software that allows users to compose elegantly. Present a pattern to them and use gamification in this way. It is beneficial, akin to taking a writing improvement course.

    1. Insert images for flash cards. That would help a lot with memorizing terms.

    2. Account login to be able to access notes everywhere rather than saving them on iCloud. Like Google Docs. You can login and access them anywhere.

  11. I have a Surface Pro and I am using good notes on it. One of my major complaints, and perhaps the only important one at the moment, is the missing option for handwriting recognition in windows. But this feature is supported on iPad. Would like it to be on Windows too, please!

  12. I have been using Goodnotes on my Mac for some time now, but I have found that there are often bugs that prevent me from using it efficiently. For example, I can't use my mouse to scroll up and down or type anything. Instead, I have to use the keyboard buttons to scroll, which can be frustrating. While closing and reopening the windows usually fixes the problem, it reoccurs frequently within a short period of time, sometimes as little as five minutes. Overall, I think that while Goodnotes is a useful app, it could greatly benefit from some bug fixes…

  14. While writing by hand or fonts, often the title, subtitle are formatted with color/font-size etc. It would be great to click on a formatted text to copy the format and apply the format on another text by clicking on it. There can be a toolbar button to toggle this copy format mode. This will save lot of time in applying the format again and again.

  15. I unfortunately don’t have a lot of space in my iCloud. I would really like it if good notes on MacBook could be backed up automatically using google drive rather than iCloud

  16. I tried to try again after deleting the app because I couldn't extract the file well. But when I reinstalled the app, all the existing files were lost. I wasn't running iCloud or backup but can't recover missing files? These are really important files for me.. Please help me

  17. I love creating overviews of my books and games or use it in my journal.
    I would like to be able to set a uniform size for the pictures. like the settings in Word, for example. Simply enter the centimeter information and the image will adapt to that.
