  1. I am really enjoying the Flashcard template.

    However, I like my notes to be as neat as possible. It would be great if templates for lined and squared paper Flashcards could be created for when writing out the Flashcards, but when studying them, the lines/grid lines are removed to look as though your hand written notes are all aligned and not wonky! :)

  2. Now it is hard to write near the edge of the page while zooming in.
    For example, writing on the right edge of the page with the right-hand needs your hand to float.
    For another example, using the lasso tool, once the pencil detected released near the edge of the screen, the selection region will be confirmed.

    Adding a scrolling "margin" would be the best solution; allow scroll outside the page.

  3. Currently the flash card is shown in the same document, so one needs to open different notebooks to read flashcards in them.it will be very beneficial if all the flash cards from different notebooks appear at a single place so that space repetition can be utilised at a single place in a better way.

  4. Goodnotes has available in its pop-up store: "Hexagonal Grid: Draft Papers" which features a hexagonal grid. However, because line snapping only works at 45° angles, there is no useful line snapping for this grid, which makes is somewhat useless as a template. It would be great (and I imagine very easy to implement) if there was a toggle in settings to access 30° line snapping.

  5. Be able to type directly into the document without having to use a text box. Like a word document for example. But still be able to write or annotate if wanted.

  6. The size settings of pen tool and shape tool should be kept independent of each other. Suppose I want pen tool with a setting of 0.3 and shape tool with some different setting everytime I need to change the setting

  10. At the moment the sorting option by date or by name is the same for folders and the complete documents. There should be a way where on the main documents page you can sort by date and sort by name in a subfolder.

  14. I'd love to see an option to add more than 3 pen colors as "quick-access". I often use up to six colors and it is quite displeasing that I have to switch them around so much. I added a screenshot to clarify what I mean by "quick-access".

  17. When you you have a note open, clicking on its name disclosure arrow reveals where it is in the folder hierarchy. It would be great if one could click on one of those folders, and go there (just as one does in OS X). It would save a lot step-by-step navigation, particularly if all you want to do is (also) open another note in the same folder.

  18. i noticed that they implimented for goodnotes to create an auto link whenever you type “.com” at the end of anything which is very frustrating when i am not trying to attatch any links. i have to click the link to unlink it only for it to come back the second i continue typing. Can you create a feature in the settings where this feature can be turned off?
