  4. Hello,

    It would be convenient when looking through the document file browser, if there was an easy way to view the thumbnails of a document without opening the document. I have so many documents in goodnotes, and currently I have to open a document and then open the thumbnails view and then close the document each time i want to see whats inside a document.

    It would be a lot easier if there was a button in the file browser to open the thumbnail view, without opening the document. Then if i want to open the document, maybe there could…

  5. Having to tap each field of a flash card to start writing on it in study sets edit mode is so inconvenient that it is faster to write the cards as a normal flash card file and then convert it into study sets. Please provide an option allowing users to instantly write new flashcards without tapping. Love the app!

  6. Add a timer to flashcards.
    For example, I can create a timer so that I have 10 seconds to answer the flashcard before the answer is displayed.

  9. Currently, in the GoodNotes app, annotations made in other note-taking apps like Apple's native Notes app are embedded into the PDF upon import, making them uneditable within the app. I would greatly appreciate it if you could make it possible to recognize and edit annotations within PDFs.

  11. I usually work a lot in the magnifier mode. The AI options seem not to be working in magnifier mode.
    If, scribble to erase, circle to select, and handwriting spell check available in magnifier mode, It would be great.

  12. I want to be able to add pictures by copying and pasting (ctrlC+ctrlV) files from elsewhere into the notes, and be able to drag and drop picture files into notes. This is possible in Google Docs, and more convenient than the current feature, where you have to go click add a picture and then look for the picture.

  13. add the option that changes the color of notes, as sometimes I write something in a specific color but then I need to change it and rewrite the whole thing again so having an option that would change the color of the paragraph that I wrote and not waste my time would be extremely helpful.

  15. It woud be really useful for my organisation to have numbers as icons in the folder customization. It would generally be useful to have more icons to choose from as there sometimes is no icon that really fits the content of the folder.

  16. I teach university math and every time I plot a point on the axis, the axis gets deleted. Often, my writing is deleted when I cross a t. Please allow this feature to be deleted.

  17. Since GN6, the pen size has been looped in with colors, and it would be great if this had its drop-down menu to change the size of your pen. Also, I switch between colors and pen sizes A LOT, and swiping between them has become my biggest pet peeve with the app. Also, if there was a drop-down menu, could we add more than three preset pen sizes?

  18. When I write something on the picture I pasted, my palm always unintentionally touch the picture and the picture suddenly move. This happens in all devices. So it’s a system problem. Please fix this problem.

  19. There is a free hand highlighter tool, but it makes highlighting multiple lines of text tedious because it requires dragging across each line of text in a paragraph.

    However it is currently possible to press and select text and then tap on the "highlight" option in the menu that appears. However, this requires using a finger and is not possible with a stylus. It also requires multiple steps to accomplish.

    A better solution (and one that other apps have) is to have a separate tool that the user can use to only highlight text. Ideally, the user would be able…

  20. i would love to be able to group items (texts, images, stickers, etc) together and be able to move/lock them as one unit. this works for handwritten text through the lasso feature but it doesn't seem to work for others and i think it this could be a great addition!
