  1. Hi development team, can you develop a swap function between question and answer in flash card (suggest to add when you take the practice or smart learn)? It could help us a lot to learn new word

  2. I am writing this suggestion as a response to how obnoxious it is to set up a workflow that mirrors the Goodnotes Library across different, external applications.

    The current system has obvious limitations; the automatic Backup to Google Drive (or DropBox, OneDrive and WebDAV) is very useful for keeping an up-to-date PDF copies of Goodnotes documents, however it behaves solely as a backup rather than a true mirror (this is fine, but there is an audience that desires a true mirror that isn't accommodated for, even if they themselves don’t fully know how useful it would be). Currently:

  3. Study sets of all formats (i.e including image based and handwritten sets) should be able to be shared (/exportable) to other users and apps

    Especially to other Goodnote users as I'm unable to share some sets to classmates and we're both Goodnote premium users (us sharing an iCloud isn't a reasonable option)

  4. Now that graphs are an option, I would like to see this being improved and features being added. I use GoodNotes for maths a lot and I would want to add two graphs in one graph view, set an interval to a graph, recolor the graphs, display intersections with other graphs or the x-axis, support for calculus and equation solving algorithms to find parameters for a polynomial, for instance. That would be beneficial.

  5. I just want to be able to have everything in front of me without pressing a billion different buttons for the sake of cleanness. Give me the keyboard button back and put all the customization buttons right below the toolbar, just like it was before, I am begging you.

  7. Personally, I can only really use GoodNotes when it is the only app on my screen, because my normal writing habit for paper is to have the paper at between a 40 and 60 degree angle.

    When I am only writing with GoodNotes, I can turn my whole iPad (which is challenging when traveling on a train but still possible). If I have multiple windows open for references, though, it makes this especially challenging and causes my wrist to hurt very quickly. My husband who is left handed also turns his paper the other way out of habit, and cannot…

  8. It would be very helpful to be able to select multiple images when inserting them and then reduce their file size. I have notebooks that are very large because they contain many images; this often causes backups to fail because the process takes so long.

  9. Please, could you add the option of being able to insert equations and characters directly with the keyboard. Just as it is done in Microsoft Word, it would help and speed up the process of inserting and writing equations directly with the keyboard of the iPad or computer

  10. The latest update has the text box tools floating on the page when I type. This is a nuisance and is extremely distracting. It makes it impossible to think and write. The previous toolbar system worked just fine. Either revert back to the earlier method or allow the floating toolbar to disappear while typing.

    Please fix this pronto! Sometimes change for the change’s sake is just a bad idea. This is one of those times.

  12. I would like more choices of icons and maybe emoji and stickers to add to custom the folders besides just able to change the colors.

  13. When trying to write a word that starts with a capital letter it doesn't seem to recognize the difference between an uppercase and lowercase letter, autocorrecting the word to be entirely lowercase. (Example: writing "Learning" will autocorrect to "learning")

    Please fix this!! I love this app, this is the only thing that truly frustrates me.

  16. So I don't hate the new update, but there are some things that could be a little better. Then new tool bar is taking a bit to get used to, but I genuinely like it. One of my biggest problems is the updated snap to shape. I would like to Goodnotes to snap into shape, but I would like it closer to what I am trying to draw. For example, Goodnotes will not snap into a hexagon to draw organic molecules.

    On another note, I see real potential with the arrows for the new shape update. I really like the…

  17. How can I undo this last version of Goodnotes 6? I liked it better when the recording symbol wasn’t this horribly obvious as a big orange square. and I like it better when the toolbar didn’t move. Is there a way I can undo this update and back to the previous version of Goodnotes 6?!

  18. One of the reasons I haven’t switch to GoodNotes:

    One of the key features of this app is recording in (iOS). Therefore, there should be more features when recording. THERE SHOULD BE OPTIONS FOR EXPORTING AND IMPORTING AUDIO FILE. If imported, it should be able to summarize it as well. NOTABILITY has this options. Also when recording sometimes there is 5/10 minutes that there is no one talking (many reasons). There should be an option to be able to cut/delete portions of the audio file. Just like notability. Thank you.

  19. Currently tables can only be created inside documents; and in documents you cannot write handwritten text.
    In the future, if tables will be available inside whiteboards and notes, would be useful to have handwritten text inside tables.
    Of course a limit could be the cell. Once you began to write in a cell, the cell or the related column and row should expand accordingly to the size of the text or, once you finish to write the handwritten text, and the text is bigger compared to the cell, it should be hidden like what happens in ms excel.

  20. Is there any plan to add an automated feature that tracks changes and compares versions when importing edited PDF essays back into GoodNotes? It would be incredibly helpful for students.
