  1. Can you please enable handwritten note-taking and inserting images in the “add comment” section?
    Typing the comment takes time and limits the note-taking experience to the keyboard tools. The notes also all look the same (there’s no bold or underline or change font options).
    This would allow a smoother and faster experience while using this option. It also combines between the sticky notes/post-it ideas and the already present add comment feature.
    I prefer the add comment in that it takes less space and thus allows a neater page.

  2. The history buttons are positioned too close to the Library View button. I usually miss clicked them so instead of going back to my previous edits, I totally LOST them all!

    • Maybe position them to the bottom as shown in the attachment?
    • And/or make the documents preserve their editing history

    Be mindful about handedness though.

  3. It helps to know if you see the number of the Flash Card when in Practice Mode.

    And maybe add a feature, where one can categorise the flash cards when in practice mode. Sure, Uncertain, Don't know. This would help when reviewing a lot of flashcards so that if one only want to study the flash cards in chapter 3 that one can not memorise that well and not spend time on the ones one already knows.

  4. Move the undo location on the toolbar. The undo icon on the toolbar is directly below the library icon in the NAV bar. I always tap the Undo button by mistake when trying to return to the Libray of my Documents. I have lost many final changes when I try to return to the library.

  5. The new numbered and tiered bullets and numbers are a huge step forward. The numbers are just single level while the bullets do differentiate by indent level.

    Please add tiering to distinguish levels.
    Two versions (preferred): 1, a. i. etc. and hierarchical: 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc.

    The simple 1 a i approach would help differentiate levels. The Hierarchical will help with technical writing.

  6. It would be great to have an option for a larger canvas. The current tab design is 3 levels. Especially with the new customisable toolbars, if you don’t use page tabs. Everything can fit in one bar, increasing canvas size.

  7. I would like to be able to create a general notebook "template" of PDFs/notes for my students and share a copy with them. Then they have it on their own devices and can edit/write in the notes as we go. Every student would have their own copy of the master notebook, but edit in their own ways.

  9. A Support Line would be great you guys don’t offer much customer service. Tickets that no one’s seems to respond to doesn’t help at all. You guys can’t provide an amazing app and then disrespect the people who use it by not supporting then through programming issues and the everyday tech support that everyone NEEDS!

  10. After using a particular font, I like to have a selection and re-use some of my fonts. However, after clicking on the recently used font, nothing happens. I have to search for the font again. Then whey put such a feature of recently used fonts when it is not functioning.

  11. Make the search feature to highlights the words that we’re searching so that it is easy to find some words in a pdf/book, it is a normal function in other apps but it is not included in goodnotes.

    Also make the search feature faster.

  12. Every little or big news has always been useful, but I beg you, make it possible to insert long or short notes via pop ups that open and close, to put wherever you want, in the text or in the images, it would be fantastic. A thousand thanks. A student who loves you.

  13. When you often use the Ruler, you may struggle with the Possibility to adjust the angle of the Ruler. It would be a tremendous feature when you hold the button for Angle and it shows you a list for some values(0°,15°,30°,45°,60°,75°,90°) and has the option to add some customs)

  14. Open the same notebook on two different tabs to make switching between views easier. Instead of tapping the edit icon then the hyperlink, only tap the tab at the top.

  17. Search functionality

    Study-set page copying functionality, so that I can paste it into different sets of study sets for practising random questions from different topics holistically.

    Table insertion using an apple pen to either draw a table or delete a table.

    Ability to switch between handwriting, typed text and inserting photos, without erasing a study set content.

    Multiple-order bullet points functionality that is computer keyboard friendly.

    I prefer to study from a study set, rather than a flashcard template, because it presents the learning material in fairly large size when I study from my iPad screen (usually) or my computer…

  19. Add the ability to tag your notes with a "ToDo" things that auto populates a list or just lets you find your tags easily so you can put them on a list. Even the reduced functionality would be great.

  20. I write with my right hand and select with my left; being able to move the selection bar to the Left would really improve my note taking efficiency.
