  1. In Goodnotes 6 there are these beautiful folder icons. But they all feel a bit empty. What if it would show the notebooks inside the folder. This could also make it more clear how many notebooks were in that folder.
    For reference: Planny’s categories

  3. I know it’s a new feature, but I’d love to see a wishlist or save option for the shop. Also maybe a shop on the website or off of the app also. Ultimately some way to see and be able to compare certain items before you buy them based on what you are looking for

  4. It would be extremely useful to be able to do things such as paste an image and annotate it when making flash cards. There are many instances where this would be useful, and would also serve as a quality of life improvement for many students like myself, and across a wide range of subjects.

  5. The interactive comment annotation feature has recently been made available in GoodNotes. However, it is currently only possible to type comments with the keyboard. It would be nice to be given the possibility to add hand-written interactive comment annotations.

    1. It’s hard to scroll though 200 pages of written notes, just to find where the audio was recorded. It would be amazing for us students, if there was an option to see what page/where the audio was recorded.

    2. Please add an update to let us rename recorded audio files.

    3. Change playback speed of the audio.

    4. Add an option that automatically adds the date and time when a new page is created. (This could also help find audio recordings based on date and time of the recording, and the page)

    5. When you draw and hold, it presets into a shape, please…

  10. When using Presentation Mode with AirPlay set as "Mirror Presenter Page," GoodNotes used to hold the displayed tab when going back into the file interface. This was very effective for avoiding distraction for students when looking for a new file to display. It appears that in mid May with no explanation this feature was removed.

    Now, when pressing the "back" button to browse files, the AirPlay display now shows the file interface, rather than holding the displayed page frozen.

    This feature was critical to how I used GoodNotes in my classroom, and I hope it could be reverted, even is…

  12. PLEASE create the control f function for flashcards. Would literally save my life. Cause I have a bunch of flashcard for my anatomy lectures and it's hard to have to go through them one at a time.

  13. It would be interesting to categorize color by category that we can edit, named and change. Goodnotes could also share palettes.

  14. Preset colors can be specified for both handwriting and highlights.

    However, the preset of the text box is not changed.

    The problems that arise here are:

    It is difficult to change the color of only part of the text box
    -> It is possible to change some colors through customization, but if you try to change it using a color code, the entire text box is selected and some changes are not made.

    If you want to change the color of only some of them, you need to add text boxes, create spaces between sentences, and align the text boxes…

  15. It would be nice to have a function where the notes can be read out to the user as some people are better audio learners. It would also help with reviewing materials while on the go or for multi-tasking.

  16. I noticed that I can create a notebook on Android from a picture file. On my iPad I regularly do that and then add more picture files to the notebook. But when I share the notebook and try to open on Android or Windows that does not work. When creating a notebook from a PDF file it works a charm.

    I use Goodnotes as a digital puzzle magazine and copy/past puzzles from a newspaper.

    Maybe I missed something but can't seem to get sharing a notebook made up from picture files working

  17. Similar to the old school paper notebooks, I am having difficulty writing at the bottom of any page, as my hand is out of level from the notebook (iPad goodnotes) and I do not like leaving my pages half blank just because its a digital notebook.

    It will be very helpful to write with the same comfort level on the whole page if the bottom of the page can be pulled to the middle (at least while in Zoom) with non-writable blank space to put my palm on.

  18. A feature would be great, which allows to preview the target of a PDF hyperlink upon mouseover. Such, the meaning of a reference could easily be checked (i.e. a citation, figure, or equation) without actually clicking on the hyperlink.

  19. Chciałabym aby w opcji przekształcania tekstu pisanego na tekst komputerowy było dostępne więcej języków. Uważam ze dzięki temu więcej ludzi mogłoby korzystać z tej świetnej opcji. Przykładowo ja nie jestem wstanie jej używać ponieważ nie ma tam języka polskiego. Byłabym wdzięczna za dodanie polskiego (i innych) języków do aplikacji. Ta zmiana umożliwiłaby mi znacznie szybsze robienie ładnych i czytelnych notatek w szkole.
