  2. I use Goodnotes for reading academic papers in college and it would be very useful if I can take notes right next to paper, not in another notebook. So, when I open the pdf, I also want to see the side notes I took in the same page.

  3. Your automatic backup is a great feature My request: Please include https://www.pcloud.com/ in your list of backup locations.

    The backup folder should be user defined.

    The ability to restore GoodNotes notebooks from backup should also be implemented.

    pCloud has a full API: https://docs.pcloud.com/. Maybe https://pipedream.com/apps/pcloud can help you or give you some ideas.

  4. It would be great to have a little image of the current canvas on the side of the page, indicating which part of the canvas is currently shown.

    This would greatly improve overview and usability.

  6. Seamless page is especially crucial for moving images from one page to the other instead of needing to copy and paste if the image is on the wrong page.

  10. It would be good to be able to search in the flashcard document to make sure you don't have a duplicate flashcard.

    If you have flashcard documents for different topics of one subject you cannot duplicate these into one bigger document to learn the whole subject in one sitting. At the moment you need to type every card again if you want the same card in a new document

  11. After writing down a paragraph in a specific color (lets say black), I would like the ability to select a tool (maybe one that looks like a lens) and would allow me to go back over the words I have already written and change their color to something else (such as blue or red). That way, I would no longer have to erase something and rewrite it in a new color. It is different from the highlight tool because I am not suggesting adding an additional color, rather I am suggesting the ability to change the color of these pen…

  12. I would love to be able to change the order of my flashcards (in ministure mode).
    Also, I would like to star/bookmark certain cards the way I do with regular documents. A separate study option for bookmarked cards would be super useful.

  14. In case of a big book it’s really hard to navigate through pages. Even though there is an option in the bar to switch to a different page, it is time taking. You can just add an icon below or allow the user to tap the page number notification below to quickly switch to a particular page number as in Xodo and other apps. Otherwise it’s really time consuming.

  15. Como está chegando ao GoodNotes 5 o modo Digitação seria excelente que adicionassem mais funções de texto!! Especialmente o parágrafo justificado, de maneira a manter o texto perfeito na folha, sem quebras de linha, etc… Por favor, vejam isso o mais rápido possível!! Obrigado! Uso o GoodNotes tanto no Mac, para digitar, quanto no iPad para escrever!

  17. There should be some middle ground for the answer. I mean currently there are only 2 options, “i know” “i dont know” it will be great if you add two more like “i knew it partially “ and “i knew it but took effort to get there”. And one more suggestion if it contains nested subfolders. It will be great.

  18. At the moment, it is a two step process to return to the normal eraser after using the highlighter only erase.

    It would be much more simple if the pop-up message had the option to disable the highlighter only erase, rather than the current pop-up where there is only the options to go to the settings or ignore.

  19. When inserting a photo, most of the time I just want it to span from left to right while keeping it’s aspect ratio / proportions. Currently, scaling a photo is scaling it from it’s center. This results in the necessity for several resizes and drags to match the page border left and right.

    I suggest an option to just hit a button in the context menu to scale the picture to a size where it‘s borders automatically align with the page borders!

    An alternative would be to add the option to scale a picture from it‘s corner, rather than it‘s…
