  1. If you draw and hold a line or something else, it should snap to the paper like in notability it’s just time saving if you are trying to make a diagram.

  2. Sorry for the long title; I love the flashcard feature and use it every day in medical school and I am being able to study extremely effectively and learn the material while still having free time in my life.

    But If I could select certain flashcards within a single document by marking them with a certain signal to allowing me to study the flashcards I made for the first lecture before I study the next classes flashcards which build off the first lectures material. And even allowing me to mark certain flashcards "VIP" cards that amalgamate from all the notebook's…

  3. If it was possible to import a document and then be scannable would be a godsend for those who need big chunks of text, are trying to look up words or are learning a language. Even those who need text to speech would be able to copy the scannable text and use it quickly.

  4. GoogleDrive, DropBox and OneDrive are available, but FTP/SFTP for share in own systems (for business or friends) isnˋt available.
    I think this can be useful for other tools.

  6. Currently the only way to favourite a document is from the file browser. It would be very handy to be able to favourite from within an already open document.

    Also the star/favourite button on thumbnails is not present in search results.

  7. The laser pointer has a very cool design to it. I would love if they could make the design of how it looks into a pen so you could write notes using that design

  8. 你们在最新版本中去掉了这个选项,无法隐藏状态栏。本来工具栏面积就很大,现在不能隐藏状态栏,导致文档显示面积进一步被压缩。不要为了适配iPados15的分屏键,就让整个软件变得难用。

  9. When searching on iphone spotlight search, it would be good if a small preview image of the document would show. Notability has this feature so it shouldn’t be hard I think

  10. writing flashcards takes a lot of time.
    Here are some ideas for improvement:

    When writing a note you can link two entities (word, image, sentence..) for example by "virtually framing" them to tell the app to create a flashcard from these words (the framing will only be displayed when you tell the app to create a flashcard)

    Add tags to the flashcards to better organize them, study only certain tags and see which tags need to be revised more.

  11. Using elements is fantastic, however, I would like to be able to crop from the lasso tool. Right now, if I place a calendar block and need to change the size, I have to select element, which then auto-selects the lasso tool. To crop an element, I then have to select the image, which brings up the image selector on the page, then click off of that, and then select crop. It adds so many extra steps. Why not just have the crop option from the lasso tool? It would save so many steps!

  12. Currently keyboard shortcut for Element is not enabled. even though it is stated as M upon hovering over the button.

    also an option to not leave element tool after adding an element will be nice. it'll be useful when catching up on the older task during bullet journalling.

  14. When you finish writing on a page, it automatically goes to the next page. If you are writing and then go back and add something, it currently disappears off the bottom of the page. Notability is AMAZING for this...... Catch up goodnotes.

  15. Mac app is slow for large PDFs, as a person who studies a pdf on the MacBook and takes notes on the iPad, the Mac app is quite slow to navigate through the PDF. I'm running the latest app on the MacBook Pro 16

  17. Text needs the option to save custom colours. Changing text colours also seems inconsistent and often changes the entire block instead of only highlighted text.

  18. Hello, I am a Korean student who is using the GoodNotes very well. If I write Korean with a pen, my handwriting gets ugly. But If you take notes with laser points, your handwriting gets way much prettier!! If you add a pen that has the exact same writing experience as the laser point, I think I'll be able to use the GoodNotes very happily. Thank you!

  19. I use a lot of screenshot capture using a noose.
    In this case, the image quality drops a lot.

    I wish it could be modified to convert the PDF into an image.
    In this case, an image of 300 dpi will be less degraded. 600dpi is great.

  20. Recognize a double-tap to change to drawing mode. Could also do triple-tap to change to erase. Or let user assign the action.
