  3. Make a note using staedtler S-pen, turn the pen upside down, and use the eraser to move on to the eraser function. However, if you turn the pen upside down again and try to make a note, the eraser function will continue and you will have to press the pen function again every time.

    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…

  5. 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…

  7. 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.

  8. 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…

  9. 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

  10. 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.

  11. Goodnotes is an excellent note taking app, however the functionality on a Macbook is extremely limited. I bought the full version of Goodnotes just to use it for my Mac as I don't have an Ipad but it seems like the app is strictly only for Ipads. There are so many minor problems that I run into that it is really frustrating to use. Its obvious that the mac version is just a copy and paste of the Ipad version... so I suggest working on the usability of goodnotes for people that primarily use their laptops. This app is the…

  12. Improving the Access For Convince in terms of portability; Having the feature to scan through the flash cards on mobile phones would be the best for always on the go learners.

  13. Es wäre gut wenn man beim lernen mit den Lernkarten auch in die Karten reinzoomen könnte und so die Karten vergrößern könnte. Vor allem wenn man mal am iPhone lernen möchte oder einfach an einem kleineren Geräten.

  15. I'd like to transition to using GoodNotes exclusively for studying because of its fantastic study set feature. However, I'm facing a challenge in exporting my flashcards from Anki to GoodNotes. The problem arises due to the presence of pictures and highlights in my flashcards. It would be greatly appreciated if a solution could be found to address this issue.

  16. Search by filtering stickers.
    I use the stickers to highlight important passages of the texts; it would be very useful to filter the pages where there are some stickers or, even better, being able to search and filter for a specific sticker.
    Thanks

  19. I totally love your Full page text typing tool and use it daily. Especially the Cornell Notes template is my favorite to use with it. But unfortunately it takes a lot of effort to move a text box to the height of the text so that it looks nice and uniform. I would like to see a second frame on the left side of the Cornell Notes template in addition to the full page typing frame. This would be very helpful.
