  1. Maybe a function where you can erase specific pens ex) erase pencil only

    Also when you remove tape it removes anything written over it as well :)

  2. The flashcard function could use a lot of improvement. First I copied text from my course notes but then wasn't able to even bold or underline text. I also couldn't use my pen to highlight it. Now the text is all just a blob of words instead of allowing me to indicate important words. Also being able to go back and forth between flashcards and not have to go to the outline every time would be helpful.

  3. I would like to be able to Search my document for a word.
    Then I would like to be able to click a button and have ALL these instances be HIGHLIGHTED with the HIGHLIGHT tool with one click.

    Is is possible?
    Perhaps I've missed something.

  5. When you touch the created shape to edit it and move the vertices, one of the edges may accidentally stay in its place and separate from the vertex. I have not noticed any patterns for this bug to occur, so it is unlikely that this is some kind of intentionally added feature. There is a video showing the bug in the attachments.

  6. I like to import my professors notes and write alongside them during lectures. I would love to be able to use the audio recording feature and laser pointer together so that i can follow along with the laser in the recording when reviewing notes. I want to be able to circle things or underline them during class so i can see the the prof is referring to in the recordings.

  7. It would come in handy to have an option for marking items in the library (folders, books, notes,…) by a simple checkbox or different colored backgrounds so that one could see immediately if a document was read and finished already.

  9. This request has been sitting unresolved for over 4 years now. Please add a menu toggle to return to current notebook from the Documents view. Having to click on a note to get to the view is super clunky (for example, if you have lots of folders to organize your many notes). It should be as easy to swipe to the open notes view as it is to move to the library from your note.

  10. Why no one is talking about creating a flexible , movable panel that allows user to set the “most usage pen” and some tools? I think Notability do have that. It would be a lotlotlotlot more convenient since we no need switching frequently.and also, double click the screen anywhere to “undo”, enhanced user convenience also.

  11. The toolbar can be moved to the left side of the screen with the elements being ordered vertically, so to have more space to write

  12. Similar to Microsoft Notes , it would be cool to include a document feature that I could also write on, like on the website mabe. For example, with Microsoft Notes you can type in the notebook on you computer, and then using the Microsoft Notes app (on tablet) you can also write on that same notes page. I know we can type notes onto goodnotes, however I like being able to type on my macbook and then if i want to write, transfer over to my ipad.

  13. It is an AI feature that converts typed text into handwritten notes, mimicking the user’s handwriting style. This would be activated when typed text is pasted into GoodNotes.
    - Advantage: This allows for seamless integration of digital and handwritten notes, enabling a more personalized and cohesive note-taking experience.

  14. If we want to do a lasso screen shot of an area which is free of self made elements, the screenshot icon appears directly on the lasso-options-bar, but when we want to do a screenshot with self made elements (does not matter if it‘s a picture, stylus writing or normal text) inside the lasso, we need to click on „more“ to get to the screenshot option. Please just add this back so it works faster, I think this was possible a couple of years ago.

  15. On macOS, the user interface in both documents and the folder overview often appears too small on large screens. It would be helpful to have an option to scale the UI—both to enlarge and reduce it. This feature would be useful not only on Mac but also on iPad and iPhone.

  16. Something I don't like about GoodNotes is that when you are on the Typing option in the Nav Bar (the keyboard symbol), you can't add line spacing when you have numbered list selected. How is this not something already integrated into the app?

  17. sometimes after highlighting a block and making notes on top, you might write something wrong and want to erase only the word but not the highlighter, but the eraser currently only has a "erase highlight only" option, i wish there were an option to "erase pen only" or to have a layering option (erasing only the top layer upon first time erasing the same area)

  18. I want to be able to use my own AWS account for AI related features so that way all my data stays strictly with me. It would be ideal to have a place to enter my access keys or whatever credentials I used to access my account.

  19. Es wäre hilfreich, wenn die ganze Funktion Smartes lernen ausgebaut werden würde und in einem eigenen Bereich leichter die Aufgabenliste für den Tag zu betrachten ist. Dann könnte man einen Kalender des Monates einblenden sodass angezeigt wird, wenn man die Karteikarten für den Tag bearbeitet hat. Vielleicht ist der Tag dann farbig hinterlegt. So wird man motiviert und das ganze System ist auch übersichtlicher. Häufig fällt einem nämlich gar nicht richtig auf, dass für den Tag Karteikarten zu lösen sind.

  20. The andriod version has so few features compared to the IOS. It's quite a disservice to andriod users who dislike apple ios. Please work on the andriod version tot be up to par with the ios!!
