  4. a)Being able to write all Math symbols and equations in any font to maintain uniformity of notes. For example, being able to write a fraction in Bradley hand or noteworthy. Posted a sample here. (b) A tool to draw graphs would be great too.

    1. allow custom template on studyset, just like other notes ;
    2. allow customization on studyset background, especially in hand-drawn / freehand mode, currently it must be white and it's pretty annoying ;

  5. I tried the text feature on the flashcard part of goodnotes and i like the way it looks. but it's really annoying that I can't add photos to it with text. Only if I write out my cards am i able to add photos.

  6. When I write on a sticker, like a memo or post-it note, my handwriting doesn't stay on the sticker when I move the sticker. The sticker separate from the handwriting when I move the sticker. Notability does this beautifully. In Notability, when I write on a sticker, and when I move the sticker, the sticker moved together with my handwriting on it. When I rotate the sticker, my handwriting rotate together with the sticker. In Goodnotes, I have to lasso both my handwriting and sticker in order to move it, which is cumbersome and not natural (i.e. not how I…

  7. I would like to see an even larger maximum pen thickness setting. I’ll use it to fill in something, for example. It would be nice to have at least 10mm, preferably 100mm. Or, I would be happy to be able to set the maximum and minimum thickness settings in the pen settings, like Ibis Paint.

  9. I am using this application in Japanese.
    Japanese has horizontal writing (top left to right) , like English, etc., and vertical writing (top right to bottom). Currently, it is very difficult to input text in vertical writing mode, so I would like you to add a ruled note for vertical writing. Also, if possible, we would appreciate it if you could add support for input mode.
    Please implement this in the Goodnote Shop, even if it is sold for a fee.

  10. Not sure if anyone has suggested this. I am using Goodnotes on both my Mac and iPad. It takes quite a while for the notes to sync between the 2 devices. And sometimes it does not even sync. It would be good if Goodnotes can use Mac as a local cloud server, and notes can be synced seamlessly.

  13. I don't like the "rub to erase" spec that erases text even when I want to fill it in, so I downgraded, but even after the downgrade I am fed up with popups urging me to update to Goodnotes 6.

  14. Goodnotes 6: speed up use of Lasso tool conversion to text (probably more commonly used than maths conversion ) by allowing the user to set a global default for Lasso conversion to either a) text only or b) text and Maths.

    I would expect most users to set a default of “text” and thereby speed up lasso tool conversion. Those who require both can set default to text+maths

  16. I use Goodnotes for reading academic papers in college and it would be very useful if I can take notes right next to paper, not in another notebook. So, when I open the pdf, I also want to see the side notes I took in the same page.

  17. Ability to link to locations (pages, objects, text, etc.) within Goodnotes. I want to add tabs (like section dividers in physical notebooks) and link them to the start of a section, let's say an index. Then, on an index page, link to the specific page of a topic (and so on). It looks like everyone is building their templates in Keynotes, then PDF, then import. This is fussy, but works. The problem with this workaround is that you have to define all your pages when you build your template. You typically don't know how many topics each section will have…
