  1. The ability to save custom text box styles and easily access them (using the text style icon) so that they can be re-used rather than changing the default each time.

    It would be great to use when trying to type out different styles of notes such as for headers or key notes. Take for example creating agenda week headers using pretty fonts and fun colours vs text boxes to note key points during a lecture that must be done quickly and can easily be read. In this example, it would be valuable to be able to quickly switch between different…

  3. It would be great to have a better PDF navigator like PDF Expert does. The basic functions would be:
    - link support (also link within a document like the ones a LaTeX document produces.
    - double pages viewing.
    - possibility to show the table of content

  4. Whenever i type a text i usually have some words in bold. And if i then go ahead and change the size of the entire typed text all of it turns bold and then i need to figure out again which words i had bold and which weren‘t. That is really annoying.

  5. A way where one could zoom out of the pages, so you could see all of your pages in that file. Like in Word/Pages.

  6. Allow hiding Flash Cards from the overall view of the note. I like to read and take notes, and then I like to use Flash Cards for revision, but I don't want to see them when I am reading my note because they take too much space and mess with me trying to quickly navigate between the pages.

  7. Could we have a mode that defaults to simple shapes for the shape tool? My handwriting is terrible... but if I draw something that remotely looks like a rectangle, I want it to be a rectangle, not some other weird shape.

    So maybe only allow circles, squares, rectangles, triangles? Something along these lines...

  8. When I use the rotate button for a photo, it is difficult, if not impossible to avoid resizing the photo as well. I often overlay maps to show size comparisons with unfamiliar places to ones I am familiar with. I would also love the ability select marks and drawings and rotate them, again, without resizing. I could then trace items on a map like a lake, and rotate and move them other areas on the map to compare sizes

  9. i got updates recently // ver. 5.6.9 (799398.332495063)
    more shapes can be recognized and edited; that‘s cool
    but i find it harder to draw a vertical/horizontal line than before
    and the width of the line are ALWAYS uniform

    hope for any options in setting ui which could allow us to switch that
    please see the attachment below; i use GREEN word to express what i want

  11. A tool (like in a CAD software) to find the next line intersection and trim the selected line. Example- if you have a handwritten 'X' , selected this tool, and tapped the top right section of the line going bottom left to top right, it would look like 'λ'

  12. Optional (on/off or even multiples of X degrees) angle snap for lines. Example: setting: every 15 degrees, if I drew a line and held it between 28 and 32 degrees, it would automatically snap to 30 degrees. As an engineering student who draws a lot of shapes, it would be awesome.

    1. I’d like to be able to select a bunch of different pages and change the template so I don’t have to do it to each individual page.

    2. When changing the template, the writing will stay the same size while the template size gets smaller making the contents go off the page where you can’t see what you’re selecting which seems like a defect. The contents of the page should maintain the same ratio of size in comparison to the new page.

    3. Someone posted something about being about to use the lasso tool on multiple pages so you can select a…

  14. Would be great if it can also be sorted out by colours.

    That way, we can simply glance at what we've highlighted on a single page.

  19. 目前软件可以圈选涂鸦,识别出文本,但有所不便。建议增加选项让用户能直接将圈选的文字转换成含有标准字体文本的文本框存在于文档中。
    此外还建议圈选区域不限于涂鸦,而是任意区域都可以圈选出截图供复制和拖拽到其它笔记或者应用中。

    I am a Chinese user, and the following text is generated by machine translation.

    Currently, software can circle doodles to recognize text, but with some inconvenience. It is suggested that an option be added to allow users to directly convert circled text into text boxes with standard font text to exist in the document.
    It is also suggested that the circled area is not limited to doodles, but any area can be circled to select screenshots for copying and dragging to other notes or applications.
