  1. When you import an image as a flash card you can’t write on it at all with a pen. While you could edit the image before importing it, it would help if you could import say a labelled diagram of a cell and you could blackout one individual label and put the label as the answer on the other side of the flash card. This could help you with one diagram making easily 6+ Flashcards in a minute directly from lecture notes making it a lot easier.

  2. I wish I could change the color of the file on the main screen to something other than blue. It would be cool to change the color I chose myself. It's time to distinguish between all files....

  3. A mode in which the app zooms in to a certain proximity so that 1 cm on the device‘s display is actually 1 cm of the document.

  5. I use a lot of power point in pdf in just one page to see my class quicker. It would be great if GoodNotes had PDF printout just like the second picture. Also I would like to have more zoom and thinner pencil widths to be able to write more .

  6. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you today to suggest a new feature that I believe would greatly benefit your users. Specifically, I would like to propose the integration of a sorting function in the app that would allow users to easily sort and find their notes by day, week, or month.

    As someone who uses GoodNotes frequently for note-taking and organization, I often find myself sifting through my notes to find specific information from a certain day or week. I believe that by adding a sorting feature or allowing users to…

  7. How about a stats which tell
    1.how much pen did you use
    2. Which pen colour did you use the most and
    3 what percentage you use eraser and pencil and highlighter
    4 and which notebook did you used the most and how many times
    5 how many letters you typed
    6 how many strokes you deleted

    There is literally endless possibilities of what you can add to stats.

  8. The default iOS Split-screen mode is not enough. I’m an English major from China , and have heavy using needs on GoodNotes for long English articles .it would be super convenient if I can split my screen up and down like I’m notability, it would help me easily match the Chinese translation with original English text and take notes .

    The reason why I require this is because in terms of marking and highlighting sentences with pen and shapes , Notability is inferior to GoodNotes . If this function can be added , it’ll completely change me into a full-time…

  9. Very specific problem, but on a shared document, lets say I write something, and the person I am sharing with wrote something in the same area without me knowing and it hadn’t uploaded yet, once their work finally loads, it covers mine. However, since I have already moved on to other areas of the document, I can’t simply undo the work I did during that previous time or at that area of the document… I wish there was a way to select the undo function for a specific time in the editing history or maybe even placement on the doc…

  11. I find myself swapping between two different pen styles often, and it would be great if (like the recently added color slots), you would also offer the option to add custom pen slots in the nav bar.

    I attached a quick mockup showing a possible way to do this.

  12. It would be nice to be able to change to eraser with the button on the side of my pen without having to lift my pen for the actual change to take place. It works like that in OneNote, and it would be a nice quality of life if it also worked like that in Goodnotes.

  14. Currently, when long pressing selected text, we have the option to highlight it or strikethrough it. I use those options frequently, but i miss the possibility to just underline the selected text

  15. First of all, thaks for making Goodnotes applicantion for Window and Androd.

    《And i'm not quiet good at English so i ask for your understanding. :( 》

    But there is some promblems in Andorid applicantion.

    First, i don't know why but GoodNotes sometimes can't distinguish S-pen between hand gesture. so sometimes i can't scroll the page

    Secound, might be my problem(using S7FE), app is running slowly. It takes too much time to bringing in document.

    I hope these things are fixed fast so i use GoodNote for mainly :D

    See you in Next Feedback or New version!!!

  16. One of my main uses for good notes is thinking. I like to draw or write ideas to get to conclusions quicker. The problem is that those pages doesn't have any use after I reached to the conclusion.

    I'd like to have a special Notebook for fleet notes that deletes pages that are inactive after certain amount of time. I truly enjoy writing in good notes more than any other writing app in iPad but I end up with big notebooks of useless information.

    With this auto-cleaned fleet notes notebook I would have always a go-to notebook that I can…

  17. I am left-handed and it is uncomfortable to begin writing at the edge of the page because the page edge is at the edge of the screen. The current workaround I have is inserting a pdf which allows this to some extent. I would like to be able to zoom out further so I can place the edge of the page in the middle of my iPad screen. This would allow my hand to rest on the flat surface of the iPad.

  18. When the page is magnified.If it is shown the percentage of the magnification done.As it is shown in Onenote.I think it could be of help to many while writing at a particular magnification for better fit and to make proper idea about the size of the pen to be used while writing at that particular page magnification.

  19. This would be a lasso feature similar to what already exists but upon selecting something, the selection is immediately copied and the next tap pastes at the tap location. This feature exists in the current lasso feature, but the suggested idea would save time.
