  2. There are TONS of default fonts I will NEVER use but I have also downloaded a lot from iFont. However, I constantly have to weed through all the system fonts to get to the ones I use regularly to see which font looks best for a particular section of text.

  3. It would be a critical feature for to have a global color palette that can be used in both handwriting and text. Otherwise, we will have to do double entry for every custom color that we want to use in different tools.

  4. 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.

  5. I got GoodNotes for my Ipad and love it. I assume the account is associated with my Apple ID on the device. I have now downloaded your Windows app, but it gives me Microsoft or Google sign-in options... so I can't log into the Goodnotes account that my iPad is using. Could add an Apple ID sign-in option for the Windows app?

  6. In the new feature of smart study flashcards, the typing section is stuck with one font and one format. If I could explained with different colors, formatting subscripts/superscripts it’d be super convenient and imp[rove my experience. Thanks for all of y’all hardwork!

  7. When creating a study set, I wish I could zoom in or out of the screen. In particular, it is difficult to see the questions and answers at a glance because it is not reduced.

  9. On the new update is now harder to quickly change the thickness of the pencil and hglg, would be great to slide from up to down on the icon that you press to open the thickness selector menu to quickly switch to the next thickness level and from down to up to the previous one.

    I'm a student who writes notes with lots of different thicknesses and colors, the new update made me more productive when switching colors but less productive when changing thicknesses

    There's a video with the desired gesture

  10. Be able to add set amount of blank white margin to an imported file. Currently, my round about would be open it through the MarginAdjuster app (Made by some japanese) the after editing it in the app, open with Goodnotes. It would be better if the process would be seamless and more people would be able to access this kind of feature.

  13. I feel that sometimes your pen slips or when you draw or make diagrams for studying there are very rigid lines which mess up the drawing…having an option to smooth out your lines would really healp

  15. Allow for hashtagging (much like Apple Notes). This allows for easy searches, etc. GoodNotes is great, but hashtags will make it better!

  16. A tool that changes the colour of existing handwritten strokes in the same way that the stroke eraser removes handwritten strokes. Rather than having to make careful lasso selections around pen strokes then selecting colour, users could use this tool to quickly edit the colour of their text to highlight certain words using different colours really easily. This tool would have a colour pallet much like the pen tool that decides the colour the strokes will be changed to when painted over.

    The attached gif demonstrates the functionality of the proposed tool

  17. Highlight the area inside the drawn shape, just like the “fill color” option in the pen tool. However, the fill highlight color would be the same as the outline.

  19. I love using the highlighter option but it’s incredibly dull compared to other notes apps. All the colours need to be more vibrant because I constantly find myself highlighting over the same thing multiple times to get the colour I want to appear. Also please increase the max size of the highlighter feature. Most of the notes I download to the app have text too big for the highlighter and It looks terrible and takes too much time to go over it again and again. Thanks

  20. a. No ability to edit pen thickness AFTER having written. I would like to be able to select various bits of writing and make them all the same thickness.

    b. Resizing handwritten text changes thickness (weight) of what's been written.
    Editing these resized notes exacerbates this problem; have to experiment to find a suitable pen weight so that new text matches weight of existing text.

    c. Zooming in does not scale pen weight - so zooming in and writing additional text means having to experiment with an appropriate pen weight in order for new writing to match existing writing.
