  1. Instead of having all of the colors next to one another, create a new way to organize the colors into different folders. This would make it easier to stick to a certain colors when using GoodNotes. While people would still have the option to have the colors side by side, allowing for some sort of organization folder would make it easier to find some colors and stick to those depending on the document being worked on.

  2. Just like how you can add new presets for text color, allow users to edit the presets for the text boxes.

  3. It would be nice if there were the possibility to make the background transparent for text boxes.

  6. I would love to be able to change the order of my flashcards (in ministure mode).
    Also, I would like to star/bookmark certain cards the way I do with regular documents. A separate study option for bookmarked cards would be super useful.

  7. It would be great if there was the option to edit a flashcard while in practice/smart learn mode. Sometimes you spot errors while studying and when you do, at the moment you have to leave study mode and swipe through all your flashcards to fix it.

  8. When you tap in an iPad with three fingers, a bubble with redo and undo buttons will appear on the top of the screen. It could be useful, however, GoodNotes seems to support only the undo function, while the redo button can never be activated. I’m wondering maybe you can fix this problem.

  11. It will be extremely useful if the highlighter tool automatically snapped to the text in the document.

  12. Thank you so much for adding a Windows app.

    It would be very nice to link it to my IOS account. I've gotten around this by sharing the workbooks through E-Mail, but I look forward to when I can work seamlessly across my personal intermixed ecosystem. Thank you for continuing to improve.

  13. 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.

  14. I totally love your Full page text typing tool and use it daily. Especially the Cornell Notes template is my favorite to use with it. But unfortunately it takes a lot of effort to move a text box to the height of the text so that it looks nice and uniform. I would like to see a second frame on the left side of the Cornell Notes template in addition to the full page typing frame. This would be very helpful.

  16. When hitting the return key for zoom window have it return to the next line under the first character of the previous written line. When taking hierarchical notes it’s annoying to have to constantly move the box manually and truly makes it unusable for taking notes this way. Adding a dotted reference to the start of the first character would also be helpful.

  17. 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…

  18. Add Zoom Percentage, please. The zoom affects the way we write and therefore if we'd like to keep our notes consistent in size and neatness. Adding a zoom percentage display would allow us to know what zoom size we prefer and always set our zoom percentages to that number.

  20. Some stickers (for me especially sticky notes) are longer than it's necessary.. It would be awesome if trere was a crop tool for stickers and images.
