  2. It would be great if transcriptions could be in "tabs" that you can extend and collapse. I've noticed that when I make multiple transcriptions in a notebook they all tend to get mixed into one large transcription. It would be great if they could be kept seperate and if we could copy the whole transcription of a single section/tab rather than everything that has been transcribed in the notebook.

    Hope that makes sense!

  4. when you create a folder or study set you can only choose for a few ugly colours, introduce a colour wheel or some sort so we can make our folders any colour so they look aesthetically pleasing and match the vibe of my ipad please and thank you

  5. Also, wenn man so ne neue Seite hinzufügen will, muss man immer das Format einstellen, das man haben will, wenn die Seite vorher nen anderes Format hatte. Also die Idee ist dann, dass man sich nen Format oder mehrere abspeichern kann und die dann auswählen kann, wenn man ne neue Seite hinzufügt. Liebe Grüße 😘

  6. Sometimes when you are doing past papers for exams or any work you may not have finished it or you want to come back to it.

    Maybe they could add like a little status icon (colours, or maybe icons) next to the documents title to indicate its status (done, not done, in progress) or maybe have it in another tab (status tab where you can see all your documents and its status and you can also change its status there?)

  7. When I search for a word in my Preview app, it shows every occurrence in the document. However, in GoodNotes, the same word is sometimes missed, even though the file is an OCR-enabled PDF. It would be great if the search feature in GoodNotes could be improved to match the accuracy and reliability of other apps.

  10. The app is nice, but worst of all, there's no visible backup option, as confirmed by other users. I hope they fix the issue of not being able to back up or control it soon, otherwise I'll have to change the app. I'm using it on a Samsung TAB S9. It also lacks Polish language support. I'll change my rating if they add the backup option.

  12. For each of my classes I like making a 'Lecture' and 'Practice' notebooks, however when I have multiple open I can't tell which lecture Notebook is for which class without clicking on them.

    In order to remedy this I think it would be a good idea for GoodNotes to display the folder name the notebook is in when there's multiple notebooks with the same name opened.

    For example:

    Instead of:

    Lecture | Lecture | Practice

    It would say:

    Lecture - /STA256 | Lecture - /MAT232 | Practice

  13. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I’d like to suggest a feature that I believe would greatly enhance the user experience, especially for students and multilingual users.

    Currently, the text selection menu includes useful options like “Copy,” “Highlight,” and “Comment.” It would be incredibly helpful to have a “Translate” option integrated directly into this menu. This would allow users to quickly understand unfamiliar terms or phrases without needing to switch between apps or use split-screen mode.

    Such a feature would be especially valuable in academic and professional contexts, where users frequently engage with texts in multiple…

  14. Please add this, its so important for any student or anyone else who has to take notes while in meetings or lectures. It should work like in Notability. You should be able to press a record button create an audio recording where you can click on a section that you wrote or typed and it will skip to the part of the recording that it's in.

  15. It would be great if Apples new MathNotes feature from iPadOS 18 would be integrated in GoodNotes. It is such a useful feature.

  18. I definitely think the “Audio transcribing feature” should function on all iPad models. As it is a great tool for taking notes during class and multiple other things.

  19. I feel limited when I type my notes rather than write them in Goodnotes. If I am typing with keyboard and not using a textbox I can't change the font and I can't choose my text size. But if I choose to use a text box I can't get the text to line up with the lines of my paper. I just want everything to be uniform throughout my notebook

  20. Some cards can be transferred to other sets. A card in flashcard set A should be able to be MOVED to flashcard set B in the same folder or into a different folder for another subject. Currently, I have been copying and pasting cards into another flash card set which is too time consuming. Please allow us to move flashcards wherever.
