  1. My idea is to enable modeling on a toolbar.
    I noticed about myself and my friends that we don't use a picture sticker in a text box at all. And colors are used a lot.

    Allow the color segregation to be increased at the expense of the space of the images and stickers. And an option to arrange the toolbar in a way that's convenient for me.

  2. Allow users to login on the website for desktop users to easily sync by logging in and being able to edit from anywhere. Kind of like what Microsoft did.

    1. default paper color
      At the moment we can choose one of two: white or strong yellow.
      In my opinion, the yellow one is too strong - of course, this is just my opinion, but adding the possibility to choose a paper with a slightly less yellow color would be something great.
      I think the way to have a cool yellow color is in Notability. There yellow seems to be nicer - better perceived by the eye.

    2. color of the application bar.
      Right now we have something like light navy blue - it's a bit sad and a very office color.…

  4. When I "add page" to a notebook, and then "scan documents", the document is scanned and the margins are good (right on the page edges). But, when that document is imported into a notebook, margins are added and cannot be cropped.

  6. Say I am on the eraser tab with the smallest off the 3 erasers pre-selected but I want to erase a large chunk of writing quick, as of now, I have to select the larger eraser, erase the content, then select the smallest eraser again! Wouldn’t it be better if I am on the smallest eraser, I touch and hold any of the other two sizes (with my non-dominant hand obviously) and it temporarily switches to the size I select till I lift my apple pencil up? Since lifting the pencil, it shall go back to the size it was…

  7. I feel that the flashcards would be perfect if I was able to flip them and get tested on the "answer" side. when I'm studying a language, I want to be able to get tested on both languages. And if it's possible, it would be amazing to be able to mess with the setting and get a mix of either side of the flashcards in a study sesh. Also the ability to randomise flashcards would be great. In general, more customisation for how we want to be tested would be awesome. Other than that, I'm really happy with this flashcard…

  8. I see you now have Android Beta. However, you only wish to support 8-inch tablets or larger. What about people like me who use note phone for my daily studies? I write my notes on my phone and use other apps. I consider my Samsung Note 10+ a reliable note-taking app. It would be lovely if you consider also consider other note phone devices too as we also use a pen anyway and are used the size of our screens. Thanks!

  9. We need the ability to automate the creation of notes from a shortcut - like setting the template, title, folder etc of a new note created. Check out what Bear lets you do if you need an example of good shortcut support for automating on iOS/iPadOS/macOS. Thank you!

  10. The current search function can only see the file, not the file path. For those who have created a folder in the wrong place, it is painful not to find this folder through the search function. I have to open each folder to check where the folder is, and the search function has no effect at this time. I want the search function to tell me where the file or folder is like the search function of the Windows system.

  11. I think that when lifting off the screen and starting again should be doable without the highlight overlapping & going darker.

  14. I ask you to add the locking function, each folder or file.
    I think it would be perfect if that function was added.
    Please consider it positively.

  15. With the recent update bringing the welcome change of more than 3 colors in the toolbar, and then the return of the 3 pen widths, the toolbar has become more crammed on the right side.

    There is some unused space on the left side of the toolbar, and now would be a great time to make use of that space for when the iPad is in horizontal mode and has more than enough space to accommodate all the regular icons

  16. 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.

  17. It would be ideal to improve the ability of typing notes in GoodNotes. For instance while the ability to create bullet points is already there, being able to indent another type of bullet point underneath another like when using any Microsoft application would be much better. While i use GoodNotes i write out my notes about 90% of the time. But for the remaining 5% i would like to be able to type out my notes and have them be able to organized the way i like. Especially since purchasing a keyboard for my iPad i feel this would make…

  19. 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)
