  3. Please add the the translation tool like in every other app. Currently we can only click on „define“ and then search for the web when highlighting/long pressing a word.

  4. Two dots on the dotted paper templates are a little over 1.1 cm apart on the ruler. It would be great for drawing graphs if they are 1 cm apart, so the templates fit the ruler. The same issue applies to the squared paper.

    • there is an issue with it highlighting the correct word so it will show that the word is on the page but it won't highlight it or if it does highlight it the highlighting is not actually on the word so you still have to look around the highlighting to find the word you're looking for

    • there is a glitch that makes searching really slow so I have to retype the word a few times for it to show up

    • sometimes it says the word is not in the document but when I search on other platforms it comes up…

  6. Please add a feature where you can attach a blank sheet (either the same size or slightly smaller) directly next to a downloaded document. I understand that you can open the same notebook in a different window, but it is not functional to have the notes go below the document (or in my case lecture PowerPoint). It is impossible to keep my written notes organized while writing on the same slide as my notes. It is confusing and distracting. Think like a Cornell note style template, where you have room to write notes as well

  7. Allow a sidebar menu link to allow opening a document from recent history across devices.

    Useful when we don’t want to save it as a favourite but have opened in another device and want to pick up from where you left.

  9. most importantly, it should be possible to export the flashcards to a pdf for two reasons:
    1. So it is possible to search for certain words (so you can see if you already have that flashcard)
    2. So it is possible to print the flashcards!

  10. Currently, changing the template only changes it for a single page, would be great if we could remove the template for all pages at once after finishing the notes.

    We may need a ruled, squared or dotted page while writing notes but while reading/sharing we would prefer it on a blank background.

  12. You should be able to insert images into flashcards AND draw on them. Or insert an image AND add text. Or all three! I don't understand why you have to choose only one at a time.

  13. The math font feature is great, but changing the color of the font would be very helpful so the typing could be seen on different colored pages.
    Right now the quickest option is to copy and paste the math into a text box and change it from there.

  14. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. There are quite a few preferences, that should be set and/or remembered „per document“ and “not app-wide” because they depend mainly upon the content and style of each notebook. Including:

    • scroll direction

    • auto advance of zoom window

    • last used size of zoom window

    • last used margins of zoom window

    • pen colour presets (we now have a 3rd tab for recently used colours, this should be a “document colour preset” or “recently used in THIS document” instead)

    • last used text style and text box style (and user style presets if we ever get them)

    • filter settings for paper template selection (format…

  19. It would be useful to have the option of keeping a fixed line thickness when scaling. Proportional scaling as it is is great and very useful, but it would be good to have both. Say you have made up a bunch of graphs and saved them as stickers, you don't want the line thickness of the axes to scale with the overall size of the graph. I would find this feature useful in iOS/Mac as well.

    (If it's a headache to implement I'd rather GoodNotes stay unbloated.)
