  1. When using keyboard function on the menu bar I can only change the style and formatting to the pre-set styles. I would like to have the ability to change Font size, Font style (Helvatica, Arial, etc.) I can do this on the Pen menu but not on the keyboard menu.

  2. Don't want to be limited to the use of typing text with the keyboard. I want an Ai that I can use in my pdfs to understand or look for explanations or in-depth information on what is written

  3. The ability to create your own columns on a blank sheet of paper so that you are able to use the entire page and not just the left/middle/right of the page.

    Also the two and three column template is currently broken and will only let you write in one of the columns (as seen in the attached image)

  4. At the moment, the type on a full page option only has one default font; Helvetica. It would be extremely useful to have the option to change to multiple fonts and text colors.

    1. Make the flashcards more like Anki, where it allows you to choose your own spaced repetition based on your ability to recall the cards. Instead of just having right for good and left for bad.
    2. Ability to turn notes into flashcards immediately like RemNote.
    3. Make a feature that shows all the data of how well a flashcard is recalled.

  7. I like using the study sets, but I’d like to be able to insert images and text into one card. It’d make it way easier for me to format my questions.

  9. This would allow you to align elements like text, images or stickers with greater ease instead of trying to 'eyeball it'. (Similar to how Canva or Adobe does this on their design interface) When an object is selected and you are moving it around the page, a line will appear alongside another element on the page, and the object will stick to that line when you move it close, indicating that it has snapped into the same position.

  10. Be able to customize tools

    It should be possible to customize the individual tools like pen, back, forward, etc. like in Word, which means that you should place them differently within the toolbar.

    For students this is very important.

  12. Whether through web, chrome web store, linux, or making the android app available to download on chromebooks (in that order of preference), can there please be at lease one option to get this on a chromebook? Thank you!

  13. I want to request adding a "Select and Search" feature in GoodNotes. This feature would enable users to select a word or sentence within a PDF and click "Search" to initiate a search for that text throughout the document.

    This will be a huge time saver and more efficient, especially with study documents that have questions at the end; this will make it easy to look up and review the answers to those questions quickly. Otherwise, especially when I'm using my iPhone on the go, I'd waste time on repetitive unnecessary steps of clicking options, scrolling to find search, and…

  14. Please add the option to change the line thickness of your notes (with lasso tool) without resizing everything.

    This would be very useful when realizing that your notes would look better if the linewidth was smaller/larger after you already took a lot of notes

  15. Add a heart ❤️ icon on each item in the marketplace so that I can return to it and check if there is a discount or if some day I really need the item I will find it more easier because I will already have save it

  16. Adding s function that allows users to create palettes of colours instead of all the pen colours to be in one single menu .This would be really useful in notetaking since it would allow for easier colour coding between different notebooks.

  17. I noticed that the device gets really hot when I use Goodnots. I let a diagnositcs tool run and confirmed it.

    The device does not heat up when i use other Apps or watch videos and the brightness is around 30%.

    I would appreciate if this could be fixed.

  18. For handwritten notes, there's nothing better. But at the moment, the app is geared too heavily towards the iPad, rather than cross-platform.

    I picked up my phone to type a quite to-do list this morning, (to keep everything in one place, rather than using the Apple Notes app), and the text was tiny. Creating a bulleted list was more difficult than it should've been. There was no option to properly format a bullet point list/add indents. And no checklist feature, to add tickable to-dos when you're using a keyboard (rather than an Apple pencil).

    Cross-compatibility for this kind of thing…

  19. I have spoken to many fellow students who all use GoodNotes and agree that an option to have highlights not overlap when continuing marks would be amazing. It is incredibly annoying when I want to continue highlighting after lifting my pen that when I go to highlight more I get a little discolored section because of the highlight marks overlapping. I think it would be an easy quality of life improvement for users of the app like me who like to take clean and beautiful notes.
