  1. 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.

  3. 既存のノートに、スクラップ帳のように画像を取り込んで、その上から文字を書き込む使い方をよくするのですが、その時に、誤タップや投げ縄ツールで取り込んだ画像を選択してしまい、画像が動いてノートがぐちゃぐちゃになってしまうことがあります。そこで、ページ上の特定の画像のみを「編集不可状態」に出来るようにすることで、「取り込んだ画像に対する書き込み」の快適性を格段に高めることができると考えました。ご検討ください。

  4. Have a button that you can click to return to all open pages when searching folders and say you don’t want to open another folder/document.

  5. I routinely scan student papers so that I can grade them on my iPad. The other day I accidentally had some papers upside down when they went into the scanner.

    No problem! Goodnotes has the ability for me to select pages in mass and rotate them around.

    However, when grading those papers and attempting to convert handwritten comments to text, I noticed that the conversion gets oriented upside down from my current viewpoint because it interprets that the page was rotated all the way around and so it’s attempting to make sure that the conversion is viewable correctly from the…

  6. Mostly i make notes with a taken foto as whole page, there is a menu option for that. But the foto is only in goodnotes. It would be very nice when there is a copy in the standart foto library as well. Then I don´t have to take the foto again with the standart foto app to have a foto without any notes.
    Maybe there is an option to choose between storing in the standart library as well or not...
    That feature would help and save a lot of time...

  7. I am dislexic a PDF read aloud would help so much. (like how adobi arcrobatic) this would help as well as when I am trying to take a brack but would like to keep reading but my eyes may not be able to take any more reading anymore. (part of the reson I love how I can highlight the needed parts of any test book pages I needed with this note taking app.)

  8. I’m working on a university project and need reliable statistics on child abduction cases in Minnesota. I'm particularly interested in recent trends, different types of abductions, and demographic data. If anyone knows of credible sources—like government reports, studies, or databases—that provide detailed info on this topic, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. It’s been tough finding accurate data! Thanks in advance for any assistance!

  9. I would like to suggest adding an option to unlock files within a specific folder instead of unlocking all locked documents across the app after unlocking just one. This would enhance security by limiting access to only relevant documents while also providing more control and convenience for users. Thank you for considering this improvement!

  10. All of the time I want to create a circle and because it's not perfect enough it gets completed to an oval. I would suggest a menu when you click on the shapes tool (like the one when you click the lasso tool) where you are able to enable/disable shapes that get created.

  11. I do believe that Goodnotes does some of the best (if not the best) work at editing PDF powerpoint slides. One feature that I love about another competitor app however, is the ability to edit on the side the PDF slide aka slide notes. This would be a great way to add additional information (definitions, questions, images,stickers) and avoiding layering on an already cluttered slide. I think this would pair well with Goodnotes 'presentation' mode which I use quite often and pull up my own notes to present lecture slides.

  12. Since the recent updates, my imac will not go to sleep even when I do not have goodnotes open on it - it is kept awake by using goodnotes on my iPad. Please change this as it's costing electricity!

  14. Why would you take away color control after text duplication. It was there until your silly icon upgrade. Did you ever think we were using that feature for drop shadows on text? Now I have to go to the lasso and reselect the text before I can change it's color. An extra two steps. Please put it back!

  17. There is no colour picker for the background of the Text Box, why was it added in the other colour selectors, but not for the Background colour?

    Please add!

  18. You should be able to have the highlighter or pen tool selected for example, and then click a little button to hide the tool bar so that you can read without distractions but still underline and highlight text.

  19. Introduce a new feature that ensures grammatically correct notes. This will not only grammatically correct the notes but also enhance learning and mastery of the new language.
