  1. I would like to add the ability to print a study set.

    The study set mode has been added, so I'm using GoodNote very usefully.

    I sincerely wish your company endless development.

    Thank you.

  2. Reverse flashcards

    It would be great to be able to flip question and answer for a study session. For example, sometimes it’s great to have the question be a vocabulary word and the answer be the definition. However, sometimes it is good to reverse that and see the definition as the question and the word as the answer. Alternatively it would also be good to also have a mode that flipped back and forth between these modes.

  4. It is very important that the application incorporates a widget for the home screen. A widget will make it easier to quickly enter recent notes or notes that the user has highlighted. The ideal shape is in all sizes with a bookcase style. I want to add that this addition would make the application a real rival to the speed presented by the native apple application. Thank you very much.

  5. I love the flashcard feature. But the flashcard display has got to be bigger: full screen. I put my maths theorems on flashcards and the text gets quite small.

    I need to be able to zoom in, and treat them like a normal page while I'm doing the flashcards.

    Also, it would be great to have space to write out your attempt at the flashcard before you reveal the answer. At the minute I have to open a document in a new tab.

  6. It would be great if the user can decide where the toolbar located (Left, right, or Top)
    Like other painting software, I can use left hand to switch between tools without moving my wrist

  7. I love using the existing outline in PDFs, but it's tough work to create one if it isn't already implemented. A great feature would be the possiblity to choose the option "set as outline title" for marked text to quickly greate an outline for a document.

    • bullet point features: there are times where I would rather type than write and it is frustrating when I can't keep my notes organized because there aren't any bullet points

    • the pen tool has 3 saved settings that we can change, it would be nice if we had that available for texts as well. Most of the time my title, subheadings, and bodies are different fonts or sizes. It is more convenient to press a single button rather than manually changing it every single time

    • guidelines to align texts, writing, and images

  9. Create more than one default text type. This way you can easily switch between predefined styles, size and colors

  10. Currently resizing an image proportionally resizes from the centre. Often when trying to resize an image to the same size as an existing one it is convenient to line up from the corners, but as the resize feature stretches the image from the centre it becomes inaccurate and difficult to guess the relative size of images

  11. When looking at imported PDF thumbnails, we should have an option to view only thumbnails of pages with annotations (highlights, handwriting). (like in Notability) This is especially useful for very large files, like textbooks.

  12. I think, especially after seeing the recent "favorites bar" on Notability, that we should be allowed to move the toolbar to the right hand side of the screen. As a lefty the bottom toolbar is not close to how useful I find the right handed mini-toolbar that I can throw around my screen in notability now. I'd love to see a more refined and better version of this feature on goodnotes for, not only left handed people, but everyone that doesn't want to reach to the top or bottom of the screen for small reasons

  14. Create a default font, text size, and line spacing that will line up with a narrow and wide rules template. Or, add adjustable line spacing, space before paragraph, and space after paragraph options. It is obnoxious when text on a Cornell template or any other for that matter doesn’t match up with the lines.

  15. Have mathematical tools like the ruler, protractor, compass, divider, set square etc. For math students as holding a compass or divider over the ipad would damage the screen.

  16. Since there already is a feature to convert handwritten text.
    It would be very usefully if you could convert the text from pictures of handwritten notes or documents like textbooks to editable text.

  17. The apple books app has this great feature that shows all of your highlights in a given book under "notes." I would LOVE to see something similar on Goodnotes.

    I color code my highlighting so if I could search for just orange highlights and then see all of my definitions (which I color code in orange) in one place and then jump to that page by tapping that would be amazing.

  19. It would be great to have pentagon, hexagon and other shapes recognized.
    Like a chemisty mode in GoodNotes.
