  2. I recently received a Samsung Galaxy tablet from the workplace for use. I am an ipad user at home. I had no problem with downloading goodnote app when using ipad. However, downloading the Goodnote app from a Galaxy tablet took me a while. It required me to access my Samsung or Google email accounts to download the app. Since I don't have a Samsung account, it took me another few minutes to download the app through my Google account. I need clarification on why iPad users can freely download the app while Galaxy tablet users must log in to a…

  3. Just like the laser pen but stays on the page until I turn it off. This way, I can cover the notes with tape and work through my calculations with a temporary pen without messing up my notes.

  5. When opening only one file, the location of the closed file and the location of the three dots on the split screen on the iPad are too close to each other, so it is easy to click wrong!

  7. I noticed that while scrolling through large documents with the toolbar in the downward position, the scroll bar tends to disappear behind the toolbar. The scroll bar then becomes impossible to ‘grab’ without manually scrolling to a higher point in the document where the scroll re-emerges again.
    I left a few screenshots to try and illustrate this issue.
    Thank you in advance !

  8. Hay opciones de Good Notes 6 que no funcionan en papelería comprada (cuadernos).

  9. Please allow the tool bar to be moved to the sides, containing it to the top or bottom limits my ability to access all toolbar options quickly since I have to scroll to get different pen colors and time is precious in classes where the professor lectures quickly. And especially as a left handed person, I would love to be able to move the tool bar to the right side please.

  11. Hi, I think it would be great if we could have the option to add to the dictionary an abbreviation matching it with its full word. i.e. writing "freq." and then adding it so it matches with "frequent"; writing "w/" and matching it in the dictionary with "with". This would be great for quick note writing and "helping" the AI make sense of what we write

  12. GoodNotes draws lots of power from my iPad Air M2, more than most games and streaming services, I'm not 100% sure where this is coming from, but I think the text recognition draws most of the power.
    So my idea would be some kind of battery-saver mode that turns off the text recognition if the device runs of the battery and when the iPad is being charged then the text will me analyzed.

  13. Building flashcards manually in Goodnotes is great but I feel it a bit hectic. There may be an extra tool which can be used to mark sections of a page or whole pages to add them to the Recalling /Memorizing list. This should auto include all the items that we mark with the Recaller tool. One should be able to see all the hard-to-learn stuff at ones from each notebook/folder. In addition, a home screen widget may be created which would periodically display a section of the note for a quick revision which would be scientifically designed like Anki.

  14. Different users have unique needs from a note taking software which practically isn't possible to cover in a single app UI by developers. Therefore, two MODES, a MINIMAL/SIMPLE and an ADVANCED/PRO mode should be made. The simple mode should have about the same features as Goodnotes has right now and would be able to serve the general users. The advanced mode should let users customise their app UI as well as toolbars, tools, quick features, icons positions and ribbon placements and a lot of other features as per their need. This can be revolutionary as it'll cover all types of…

  15. Goodnotes 6 is an awesome tool for drawing however these 5 options could be very useful to say the least, wether it’s for drawing or for being precise
    (some are already suggested but maybe not in the way that follows)
    These includes:

    1) A length lasso option that measures any straight segment
    (in relation to the page format, it shows the real life measurements)

    2) A new compass tool, better that the original: with custom traits, adjustable length and a GUI showing the angle at which the arc is being drawn

    3) A shape lasso option that turns any closed…

  16. Make a button to make the all top bars become invisible and back visible. Just like top right icon from sketchbook app. It will make the notes more wide open.

  17. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I love using GoodNotes for my note-taking needs. However, I'm missing a crucial feature - the ability to hide text using an invisible strip.

    Could you please consider adding this feature to future updates? It would greatly enhance my note-taking experience.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Best regards,
    Gagan

  18. Over the last several updates the lasso tool has gotten a delay when you try to select something. It happens when you select something with a small lasso area. Larger lasso areas do not create this delay. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but it's made the lasso tool much less user friendly.

    Here are some steps to reproduce the issue.
    1. Create a line or dot with the highlighter tool
    2. Select the lasso tool (either regular or rectangular) and select the highlighted dot using a small circle
    3. Note that the dot is not selected for up…

  19. Dear GoodNotes Support Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am a daily user of GoodNotes, utilizing it on both my iPhone and iPad for schoolwork. However, I also own a Samsung Fold 4, which I take with me to school regularly. Unfortunately, I’m currently unable to access my GoodNotes files on this device.

    I was wondering if there are any existing or upcoming solutions to allow users like me to sync and access files across iOS and Android platforms. This feature would significantly enhance the productivity of users who work with multiple devices.

    If this isn’t possible…

  20. hello,
    I want to search specific things in my flashcards but theres not an option to do so, to find a flahscard I have to swip through all of them. Also, it would be great to edit/ delet the flashcard while youre doing them if you spot an error.
