  1. Since latest update to iOS (17.6.1) I’ve lost the ability to create a shortcut to open a specific notebook/document.

    Please fix this!

  2. Blättern wie in einem analogen Notizbuch, im Querformat können dann zwei Seiten nebeneinander dargestellt werden, so dass deer Übergang zwischen zwei Seiten intuitiver gestaltet wird.

  3. You can already edit the text size in text boxes, but why can‘t you do that when you are writing on the full page? The feature is so satisfying to use, it automatically aligns perfectly with the lines, but why are there only some premade options like heading 1, heading 2…? The normal size is just too small. I think this would greatly improve your app and it should be pretty easy for you to implement it. Thank you for this great app.

  4. The option to convert a pdf or power point file into a flash card would be a really nice add on feature, I spend much of time creating power point but to manually copy and paste and create a flash card is time consuming… hope the future update will have this option.

  5. It would be amazing if we could drag a number of folders from Finder into GoodNotes and it creates the folders in GoodNotes with the PDFs in each one.

    I use it a lot for reviewing documents and currently I have to create the folders to match Finder and then drag/drop the PDFs into each one...

  6. Since the addition of the timer, a random name generator would be beneficial for classroom randomization. As a teacher, randomization is essential for a classroom environment to ensure all students are learning. I teach on my iPad, and switching between windows is inconvenient.

  7. As we can read here: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/7445581406095-Share-notebooks-between-iOS-and-other-platforms#share-notebooks-between-ios-and-other-platforms-0-0 the complete synchronisation between iOS App and Web Apps is not possible yet, but Link Sharing and editing should be working.
    I just was testing the Link Sharing and editing option. The Sharing Option works, but the editing option does not synchronize between iOS App and WebApp.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create Notebook on iOS App.
    2. Create Share Link for that notebook in iOS App.
    3. Open Link in Browser or Windows App.
    4. Edit in Browser or Windows App.
    5. Wait for Status "Synchronised" in Windows App.
    6. Wait for Synchronisation in…

  9. I’m so pleased with study sets, it’s very useful function for studying.
    But when I practice the sets it’s hard to read the cards because the texts on the screen are too small to read. Even though in horizontal mode, the text size is same to in vertical one.
    I hope it be improved asap. Please refer to screenshots I sent.

  10. please make a function to link another document within a document!!

    I am making a short summary to study for my class final, I would love to be able to link a different document within my goodnotes folders to a specific word to have more detailed information

    for example: my note says " - the sea is full of organisms", I then tap on the word "organism" and my notes on organisms I took during class pop up, because I was able to link them to my short summary

  11. For example, I would like to have a toggle for the zoom button so that when I press disable, it doesn't zoom in when I try to zoom in, and when I want to zoom in, it only zooms in when the zoom button is enabled.

    When I try to writing things, it keeps zooming in when I don't want it to, which is inconvenient.

  12. Currently, when you write a comment of a doc it blocks the whole screen when you open it. When I add a comment to a doc it would be helpful to have it to the side where it doesn’t obstruct the whole page and I can read the comment while also looking at my document. I think utilizing the gray area around a doc would be a great place for this.

  13. Interactive buttons would be wonderful that delete when touched to reveal answers underneath. it would be awesome if some could make noise such as clapping or buzzer sounds to help make lessons more interactive. The sticky notes can be used to reveal but you have to move them and then they do that crazy copy feature and get smaller. it is very annoying and would greatly improve if a double tap or two finger touch could disappear them. Thank you

  15. It is INCREDIBLY frustrating to REPEATEDLY go through the processes of (1) complete the "Contributing Handwriting" feature multiple times, (2) add Custom Words to the Personal Dictionary, and (3) when a red line appears tapping on the redline then "More" --> "Add to Dictionary" --> then complete the "Add Custom Word" field AND THE RED LINE REMAINS after tapping Save. Please know this REPEATED experience has frustrated me to the point of looking at alternative handwriting recognition apps or go back to keeping a paper journal.
    I'm in a professional occupation where keeping a journal is essential, and repeatedly going…

  16. Please add a setting to move the page to the left/right side of the display while using the editor so you don’t have to put your hand next to the device while writing.

  17. Hi there,

    Being able to collaborate on a documents is excellent.

    I would love the ability to be able to callaborate over bluetooth though. Unfortunately we do not always have the internet available when we are collaborating, and even when we do, we would rather not use the data.
    I imagine this would also result in faster updates when editing a document.

    Thanks

  18. I REALLY REALLY need this feature because I used text boxes as headings in my notes and it wastes wayyyy too much time going in to change the colour each time

    It's such a simple feature I can't believe it hasn't been implemented yet T^T. I would pay ungodly amounts of money for this because it would seriously save me SO MUCH time for note taking

  20. Please add a setting, so that the squeezing of the apple pencil pro switches to erase and as soon as one stops squeezing the mode gets back to the previous one. I use this a lot in the Notability-app and I got used to it so quickly, that I always squeeze the pencil, when I want to erase something...
