    1. Es fehlt ein button mit dem man alle geöffneten Seiten auf einmal schliessen kann.
    2. Bilder sollten durch ziehen einfacher auf die selbe Grösse des schon eingefügten Bildes gebracht werden können. (Auf dieselbe Grösse snapen)

  2. GoodNotes on MacOS needs changes to the Text box.

    It runs off the edge of the page. So if I am typing the words go right to the edge then the text will run to the next line. No margin at all. This means when I start to type in a text box and type more than one line, I then need to move the text box to the left so I can then resize it to move it back to the right. This is pretty inconvenient. Should be a way to leave a margin on the page.

  3. Selective erase, just like the lasso tool. At the moment the only selection available for eraser is “Erase Highlighted Only” but some times i want to delete the text or shape within the highlighted area. Would be nice that we could pick “Erase handwriting only” as well.

  6. Pretty much the title, just like normal documents you can share the flashcards with one link and can collaborate and real time add on to it with your friends.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. A brush that when passed over the colors mixes them and thus creates gradients, for texts and drawings!
    I will leave an example of some texts that are nice in the procreate app, it would be very useful to have a mixer brush integrated in GoodNotes :)

  11. I often scan documents by using GoodNote's function. Scan docs then write down memo with Apple Pencil on GoodNotes.
    Most Hiragana and Katakana are ok, but Kanji isn't. For example, printed word is "揉捏", but recognized string will be "探程" , "操探" etc. It happens even though scanned image is clear. Those characters' shape is totally different from the original string for Japanese or Kanji users.

    I would be appreciate if OCR could be improved.
    I also understood kanji character's shape is complicated and OCR library might be limited. So correcting OCRed string can be alternative.

  12. 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. Just happened to compare my writing on goodnotes & notability, goodnotes seems to have lag with my writing whereas notability is super smooth with an unnoticeable lag. Kindly look up to resolve as goodnotes is my favourite.

  16. The new flashcard feature is great, now we can see the cards in a bigger way. The only thing that would be useful, would be if we had an overview over all the cards like we do in a normal notebook over all the pages, so that we can find specific cards more easily.

  18. Please add a Footnote tools. Sometime when taking notes (either by hand writing or keyboard), I want to refer an information from something I wrote to any specific document or any format of information I need to put on which already saved on my ‘IPad books library’ (e.g. .pdf) by adding a footnote. When tapping the footnote, I can browse and choose any doc from my library, open the source, and highlighted the specific information I want to pointed if such reference is an ebook-pdf which contains many pages. Therefore, the exact highlighted information will immediately and automatically show up…

  19. The function of clicking on the picture to move this picture is too easy to touch by mistake. Please cancel this function. This function is really difficult to use.
