  2. Recommend adding a multi-touch free rotation function with zoom capabilities to facilitate page customization and enhance user experience, such as filling out forms with horizontal and vertical fields. Example of this feature can be observed in Zinnia application for iOS and iPadOS.

  6. When you import an image as a flash card you can’t write on it at all with a pen. While you could edit the image before importing it, it would help if you could import say a labelled diagram of a cell and you could blackout one individual label and put the label as the answer on the other side of the flash card. This could help you with one diagram making easily 6+ Flashcards in a minute directly from lecture notes making it a lot easier.

  7. Having either side of the flash card possibly show up in the deck, and you would have to recall the other side. An example would be learning German and you need to know how to translate English to German but also German to English. So you would only have to make one flash card for recalling the word in both “directions”.

  9. I wish I could change the color of the file on the main screen to something other than blue. It would be cool to change the color I chose myself. It's time to distinguish between all files....

  12. I use a lot of power point in pdf in just one page to see my class quicker. It would be great if GoodNotes had PDF printout just like the second picture. Also I would like to have more zoom and thinner pencil widths to be able to write more .

  13. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to you today to suggest a new feature that I believe would greatly benefit your users. Specifically, I would like to propose the integration of a sorting function in the app that would allow users to easily sort and find their notes by day, week, or month.

    As someone who uses GoodNotes frequently for note-taking and organization, I often find myself sifting through my notes to find specific information from a certain day or week. I believe that by adding a sorting feature or allowing users to…

  14. How about a stats which tell
    1.how much pen did you use
    2. Which pen colour did you use the most and
    3 what percentage you use eraser and pencil and highlighter
    4 and which notebook did you used the most and how many times
    5 how many letters you typed
    6 how many strokes you deleted

    There is literally endless possibilities of what you can add to stats.

  15. The default iOS Split-screen mode is not enough. I’m an English major from China , and have heavy using needs on GoodNotes for long English articles .it would be super convenient if I can split my screen up and down like I’m notability, it would help me easily match the Chinese translation with original English text and take notes .

    The reason why I require this is because in terms of marking and highlighting sentences with pen and shapes , Notability is inferior to GoodNotes . If this function can be added , it’ll completely change me into a full-time…

  16. Very specific problem, but on a shared document, lets say I write something, and the person I am sharing with wrote something in the same area without me knowing and it hadn’t uploaded yet, once their work finally loads, it covers mine. However, since I have already moved on to other areas of the document, I can’t simply undo the work I did during that previous time or at that area of the document… I wish there was a way to select the undo function for a specific time in the editing history or maybe even placement on the doc…

  18. I find myself swapping between two different pen styles often, and it would be great if (like the recently added color slots), you would also offer the option to add custom pen slots in the nav bar.

    I attached a quick mockup showing a possible way to do this.

  19. It would be nice to be able to change to eraser with the button on the side of my pen without having to lift my pen for the actual change to take place. It works like that in OneNote, and it would be a nice quality of life if it also worked like that in Goodnotes.

  20. I read a lot of papers from Arxiv, which are of the form https://arxiv.org/pdf/XXXXXXXX.pdf

    I would like to import a pdf to read directly from the link. Right now, I have to download the paper, store it in hard drive, import it in Goodnotes, then delete the file. This creates unnecessary steps and I have to delete the files later anyways. Would be great if I could import pdf directly from a link that links to a pdf.

    In OneNote, I can directly import pdf to OneNote notebook using a Chrome extension.
