  1. It would be a critical feature for to have a global color palette that can be used in both handwriting and text. Otherwise, we will have to do double entry for every custom color that we want to use in different tools.

  3. I hate the thing that if you are searching for a note on a folder o if you exit by mistake while taking notes you must open a new file to return back in “notes mode”. Just add a “back to notes” button or make tabs view also available in search, documents, ecc pages!!

  4. Improve the overflow feature of typed notes so that if I go back and add more to an earlier page, it automatically flows down. Also allow for a header that repeats across multiple pages of typed notes (like in a notebook filled with notes for a semester worth of classes).

  5. I love you guys, but you seriously need to fix the shape drawing tool. There are currently (as far as I know) two ways of drawing shapes:

    1. Draw them quickly to get exactly what you drew: This is (almost) always imprecise for shapes like rectangles, since I obviously can't draw a rectangle consistently, so this is a non-starter for rectangles

    2. Draw them and hold for shape perfection: This is for some reason almost always turned into a circle or an ellipse which is incredibly frustrating.

  6. While editing in Study Sets, there should be an option for the toolbar placement, instead of being locked in to the toolbar being placed on the top.

  8. The study set is a very nice feature, but it is not fully functional yet. One of the requests regarding the study set is the ability to display cards in a tiled or list format. If pairs of cards were lined up on the left and right, as in the image, and could be shown and hidden with a tap, it would greatly increase the efficiency of learning.

  9. Vielen lieben Dank für die tollen Lernkarten. Für die Erlernung der Gebärdensprache wäre es total wichtig, dass man nicht nur Bilder sondern auch Videos hochladen könnte.

  11. I draw lots of diagrams. The scribble-to-delete accidentally deletes my diagrams.
    Give us an option to turn it off.

  14. There is a move function to add docs into another doc, but it can only move one at a time, I often get lots of docs for reading in my classes and then import them into my notebook for the class to keep a record, If I were able to move multiple documents at once this process would be a lot quicker

  16. I would appreciate the option to have a maths keyboard on the app. iOS doesn’t have an option to allow me to use key maths symbols which I need for my revision, I am drawing them myself & then manually copying/pasting them whenever needed. Having options to quickly select symbols like ‘sum of’, integral, alpha, beta, delta, pi (etc), would be very convenient and widely used.

  18. a system that can identify the headlines of a slide. Then generates the first page of the index card with the headline and the back side of the index card consits of the whole slide.

  19. Currently, certain notebook pages can be added to the index. The possibility of inserting EXACT POINTS in our notebook into the index would be useful. For example, if in sheet1 there are Topic1 Topic2 and Topic3, it is convenient to insert an index that when I click on TopicIndex1 takes me directly to Topic1, when I click on TopicIndex3 it takes me directly TO THE LINE WHERE I INSERTED the fixed index, in this case TopicIndex3

  20. Laser movement shall be shared to all participants in the collaboration mode.

    Collaboration mode is very useful when multiple people work on the same document at the same time, e.g. remote teaching, doing home work together etc.

    Participants can write simultaneously and this is near real time visible to all.

    Please extend this functionality for laser pointer. It is very useful when explaining home work or what ever is the topic.
