  2. There should be a way to reverse the flash card to learn the questions from the answers? Quizlet, a competing app, does this, and I can't find the equivalent on Goodnotes :(

  3. When using the “Learning resource cards,” there are two modes: “free trial” and “smart learning.” There is a really useful option in the free trial called “random,” which allows you to randomly start from either the question or the answer of a card. I’m wondering why this random setting isn’t available in smart learning yet. It’s really helpful for learning vocabulary in a foreign language and similar things, but we can’t do that in smart learning.
    (And yes, we could just use free training, but there’s no shuffle in it, so we have to review the cards in the same…

  4. Please for the love of god, add a freaking compass! It’s been a year and still nothing. The circle drawing tool is inaccurate, messy, off centre, and overall useless. Is it really that hard to make a simple tool as a compass?

  5. Why can't GoodNotes find certain words from inserted images when I use the search feature? The goodnotes team should really implement an optical character recognition feature, like the ones that one note and notability has. It is so disappointing that we are unable to search for words in a document with images, which would help a lot of students studying in med professions.

  6. Quick selection is clunky and gets in the way. The tool doesn’t do layers well so realistically tapping on an object never works for me. I remember this being an option in GoodNotes 5, where I can disable click to select different objects (universal selection?) and that really simplified things for me. I’m not sure why that option is taken away.

  8. 1.תיאום חזק יותר בין הspen לבין המסך. יש דיליי
    2. האפליקציה קצת איטית.
    3. חוויית המשתמש לא טובה. צריך לשפר דברים בארגון ובנראות כדי שיהיה קל ונגיש לתפעל במחברת לסטודנטים.
    4.הכלי של הצורות לא עובד טוב. היה נחמד גם אם היו צורות מוכנות מראש או לפחות שהאפליקציה הייתה קולטת נכון איזו. ורה רציתי לצייר.

  9. The current behavior makes no sense. Why would I want to go to the end of the new page? Obviously, I want to be at its beginning. Why would adding a page even change my position is beyond me.

  10. I want to describe my workflow to clarify the feature I'm asking for. I use the Apple Pencil with Goodnotes, and when I double tap the Pencil, it switches to the eraser. After I finish erasing, Goodnotes already has an option to return to the previous tool automatically, which is great.

    The issue is that this behavior only works in some situations. I need a dedicated setting that guarantees the following:

    After I use the eraser in any way (whether through Auto-Deselect or by activating it with the Apple Pencil gesture), the app will always return to the last writing…

  11. Minimum and Maximum size of the pencil and adaptive size when zooming from very close to far away.

    This would help to have more consisten sizes when workinh on big mind maps.

  12. After update the new version(7.0.15).
    There's a noticeable delay when I type — the words only appear after a second or two.
    Expecial use 倉頡輸入法 typing Chinese.

  13. Remettre le bouton pour écrire du texte (au lieu de appui prolongé -> commencer à saisir, remettre le bouton qui permet de directement commencer à saisir)
    Ce serait un gain de temps énorme lors de la prise de note en cours, rédaction, etc

  14. When taking handwritten notes or when reading a document, I will highlight important parts that I would like to come back to in the future. It would be very beneficial if there was an option to view all highlights in a document kind of like how when reading on a Kindle you can highlight quotes and then go back and review those quotes. This would make looking for specific information much more user-friendly.

  16. Please create gestures for SHIFT, TAB, RETURN and CAPS LOCK for Apple Pencil in Scribble mode when using textbox.

    If one is trying to keep notes neat by using textbox instead of pen, this system becomes very clunky. If you want to abbreviate, make a list or write notes in an organized fashion on the fly, like in class lectures for instance, you have to use Apple Pencil with assistance from either an external hardware keyboard or the touch screen keyboard. It slows everything down. I sometimes miss valuable information fiddling around with these keyboards.

    I’ve tried using handwriting conversion…

  17. If you like to use the lasso tool to move - let‘s say - only textboxes, then you have to deselect all other categories manually. When you are done moving textboxes, then you want to select every category, then you have to manually turn on everything.

    It would be great, if you can turn on/off all the categories. There should be a box called „all“ on top of all categories.

  19. I wish the font menu could stay open as you preview your text or text box in various fonts, and also remember your place in the font list instead of going back to top of the custom fonts menu each time.

    Currently, the process goes as follows: select the box or the text > open the fonts menu > go to custom fonts > choose a font > font menu closes and you see what your text looks like in the selected font.

    Next, reopen the fonts menu > go to custom fonts > scroll back through the custom fonts…

  20. We should have a way were we can pin folders/documents to our home pages. I don't mean favorites, favorites doesn't work because it shows all the favorited items within documents. But I wanna be able to pin folders/documents to my home page. Also being able to pin documents within folders would be nice.
