  1. Tap to turn. The app is for ipad, it’s unintuitive then that the flash card starts on typing and you have to tap into a different screen to start writing with stylus. Generally, no one using goodnotes is trying to type their things. I also don’t like having to go in and out in and out to write the question and then it’s answer, I suggest having a double tap feature where the card in question is able to flip for ease of editing either sides.

  2. At the moment one can switch from the document viewer to the file explorer … but not the other way around. From a UI / UX standpoint, this flaw is very frustrating.

    This problem was raised several years ago but apparently ignored. The currently suggested 'solution' (to use the search button and select a document from there) just does not cut it. A 'hack' is never a good solution to a design flaw.

  3. I would love to have the ability to search just within a certain folder. I have a folder for each class, but being in vet school my classes overlap a lot. I would like to be able to search within a specific folder to be able to find info from just one class.

    Also with the new study set feature it would be great if we could have a search function within the study set just like any other Notebook

  4. I would like to suggest that there is a possibility to display the full name of the pdf where something was found in the results of a search.

  6. You may need sometime to improve user experience of Goodnotes 6. In the meantime, you should sell both versions and thus keep the normal functions of Goodnotes 5. When Goodnotes 6 starts getting good comments and good ux, the Goodnotes 5 users may upgrade.

    Now with the sync issue, I'm getting frustrated and started to look for alternative apps...

  7. I use a few favourite text sizes and style and have inadvertently’locked’ one in the new favourites function and now can’t change fonts. Very upsetting as it now has prevented me finishing my book.

  8. When you search in a written pdf using GoodNotes search engine it often misses (due to not recognizing the word or an adjacent hyphen - ), while other apps (like notability or OneNote) find it easily.

  9. First off, thanks for adding page numbers, the go-to page feature is awesome. Now I wish there was a way to set a page as page one and the pages before it would be negative pages. a lot of text books and documents I import don't have the cover or preface referenced with a standard page number. Thanks!

  11. The application keeps shutting down whenever I try to add stickers.

    It happened frequently in Good Note 5, but it keeps happening after upgrading to 6. So I can't add stickers.

    I tried shutting down the application and running it again, and rebooted the iPad, but the problem remains.

    I attach the video.

  12. I've been using Good Notes for university and life in general for two years now, and there are several features that would make the app a much better place to study.
    I've thought about them and here they go (my native language isn't english so sorry if i make mistakes):

    -The audio option could be better (it would be great to be able to leave them inserted as stickers in any part of the sheet and thus divide the audio into sections, and that when pressed the previously recorded audio would sound). Also give them names and that they are…

    • It should be possible to fetch the desired color from the page, for example from an image.
    • Change the name of the audios, and have something that would appear if that specific page had an audio. | It was good to have an option where what we wrote during the audio didn't stay on the page, or that for example we could record the red pointer together with the audio.
    • The option to adjust the position of an object and "send to the back" or "bring to the front", also divert is possible.

  15. 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.

  18. I use my iPad in portrait mode, and it bothers me a bit that I have to slide to choose another color, I don't have the need to use some tools, for example, the laser or stickers, I would like to be able to remove and add tools from the toolbar depends on your needs so that there is a little more space in the toolbar and not have to scroll to find the color I want

  19. Improvement requests

    The redo arrow of the note is only displayed on one side when using split view.

    I would like the check icon for document selection to be fixed at the top of the screen like in goodnotes5.

    I would like it to be fixed on the top of the screen like in goodnote5. This may be a bug.

    When I select a note by enclosing it and copying it, it takes a long time to load and does not finish copying. Finally, an error message appears. I hope it will be improved.
