  2. Would love to be able to retire cards, move cards to a new study set, search study sets, and have a better organizing system for the cards (including a way to zoom into cards while in study mode).

  3. I would like you to add the Swedish language in your application, it is very complicated to write because we have letters like ö,ä,å that the application does not recognize and so it is difficult to write

  5. I have long documents to annotate, so it would be nice if I can easily customise an outline - I suggest:
    1. being able to create multiple layers and collapsable outline (pretty much self explanatory it is very important for users with long pdf. I NEED STRUCTURE!!)
    2. swipe left/right on the side to bring out a sideview outline panel (best if semi-transparent background and on the side instead of a new window in the centre so I can reference the outline big picture while still reading the page)
    3. being able to delete or edit the outline of imported…

  8. In Goodnotes you can only list documents by last date you changed the document, name etc., but you cannot list documents by the date you create this document.You cannot see the creation date and you cannot search for it, too. But for school and university this is so important to be organised. Because of this problem I stopped using my Ipad for university.

  9. It would be great to have an option for dictionaries, so when we read some PDFs in a foreign language, we can make notes and just click and translate if needed.

    I know there are reading apps to do that, but they don´t provide as good tools for notes as yours...

  11. I love the flash card tool. It would be very nice if there was an option to show the "answer"-side first in the learning mode. For example it would be very nice to learn words of a different language in both directions: French - English and English French.

  12. There are only three colors to choose from in GoodNotes 5. This makes it hard to color code my notes and unlock the full potential the pictures on the AppStore showed. Please allow us to make our own colors and add a color eye dropper. Thank you.

  14. Add the option to make the selection tool rectangular to make it easier and faster to select things that do not overlap with any other elements. Would also make it easier to crop out things e.g. from a Powerpoint presentation.

    Something similiar to the selection tool from Notability

  17. It would be nice if there were a way to index all highlights and make the highlights available where one finds Thumbnails / Favorites / Outlines a way to go quickly review and find.

    It would be amazing if one could highlight in different colors and group those in the highlight index. Example: Yellow for remembering phrases, blue for additional research/follow-up, etc.

  19. In the latest update to Goodnotes, the shape tool doesn't easily create standard shapes, especially rectangles/squares. E.g., if the shape is drawn too quickly and the corner points are not even, the resulting shape is an irregular four-sided polygon instead of a rectangle with 90 deg corners and parallel sides. I would imagine the need for rectangles is much greater than irregular four-side polygons. Otherwise, fantastic product that I've recommended to anyone considering a tablet for note-taking.
