  2. I am really enjoying the Flashcard template.

    However, I like my notes to be as neat as possible. It would be great if templates for lined and squared paper Flashcards could be created for when writing out the Flashcards, but when studying them, the lines/grid lines are removed to look as though your hand written notes are all aligned and not wonky! :)

  3. On both the iPhone and iPad, when I scan a document (not necessarily multiple) and click "Save", it takes too long to import the document/s I scanned. Sometimes the time it takes exceeds a minute. I hope you release an update to expedite the importing time because when I scan documents with Apple Notes, it saves them instantly.

  4. Color picking from notebook. If I used a color I want to use it again but it is not saved in my favorites color, I can’t find the exact color again.

  5. We move files between users and folders. Each time a user opens a GoodNotes file and exports it with his her changes, a date stamp is added to the file name. This feature forces our team to manually rename the file to its original file name, I.e. remove the date stamp.

  6. On a daily basis I (and tons of other students) find it extremely useful to take photos of the board the professor writes on and insert said image into my handwritten notes.

    The document scan feature is perfect for this, as it straightens and adjusts the image and makes it more legible.

    Unfortunately every time you use it the scanned image is imported on a new page. An option to insert the scan as a resizable image instead would be perfect. Thanks!

  7. Easy way to replace pencil color palates between dark colors (dark colors to write on white/light pages and bright colors to write on black/dark pages)

    Replacing all colors while switching documents and pages can be annoying.

  8. I'm using the letters of the presentation well when I study them or as a scribe, but I want to adjust the size of the letters and the time when the letters disappear.

  9. It would be very useful to be able to temporarily hide folders or documents.
    When in school or in Uni we often have a lot of different subjects, thus it would be handy to be able to hide the ones that are currently not used to make the "document" page more organized without having to permanently delete the unused documents.

  11. Would be great to be able to choose different types of strokes (discontinuous), to have wider pens (more than 2mm), and measurements ( a ruler so, if we want to print, know previously the scale)

  12. In other apps like Notability, the scrolling is quite fast and "normal". When I tried to switch to GoodNotes, the first thing I realized is the fairly slow scrolling. Please make the scrolling faster because it can get really annoying trying to scroll around finding notes but it takes too long.

  13. Inspired by notability, it would be very nice to be able to drag in a notebook or scratch pad WITHIN a document/slideshow/pdf to be able to take notes alongside the presentation. This way one wouldn't be stuck with writing on the slides or adding slides in between.

    This way, the notebook page and the document are one entity, always together and notes always align with the part of the presentation you're taking notes on.

  14. This would be so helpful, if we could get like a link to our study sets and be able to do them on the computer. Smart learn syncing with the app would be great also, but it might not be possible as its a public link

  17. For scientists, students and others it is almost necessary to add subscript and superscript for many formulars and equotations.

    For my personal demand it‘ll be also awesome if you add blocktext to the text formatting settings :)

  18. I often use the automatic snap/straighten feature to straighten lines and attach them to circles.

    However I get mad every time because the snap feature attaches the line at odd positions on the circles. I would expect lines to be attached at points distanced by 30 or 45 degrees.

    What happens is that every time I have to edit manually the attach position of the line.

    You can see from the image and the short video that the straight line is tilted.

    Can this issue be fixed?

    I also attach the same example with two rectangles: there is no issue…

  19. I love good notes, but, unfortunately, the tool bar enables us to only use three colours which makes the process of changing colours quite tedious. I also think the toolbar takes up a lot of paper space, especially if you use more than one tab. It would be fantastic if you guys implement these changes.

    Below I have attached my designs:

  20. Please give us a fast way of adding notebook pages or purchased papers to our Template Libraries.

    I just bought a number of paper templates from the GoodNotes Store and it seems will now need to waste twenty minutes manually exporting PDFs of each individual page, and manually adding each page separately back in to my Template Library. It won’t import a multi-page pdf and split out the pages. It won’t import an exported GoodNotes notebook. It will only import templates from Files or Photos. It would be nice to just tell it to add page X from notebook Y…
