  1. In modalità tastiera non si può fare granché se non scrivere ma solo con pochi stili e tipi di formattazione possibili. Si dovrebbe rendere più libera la possibilità di scegliere i tipi di caratteri

  2. Quando si finisce di scrivere una pagina non si riesce a continuare direttamente a scrivere nella pagina successiva, ma viene richiesto prima se si vuole aggiungere la pagina e poi viene cancellata gran parte delle ultime frasi della pagina precedente e sovraccaricate. Si potrebbe fare in modo di aggiungere in automatico una pagina nel momento in cui quella prima finisce così da poter continuare a scrivere senza interruzioni e problemi di sovratrascrizione?

  3. Please bring back drawing thickness so that it's not under a dropdown menu. Taking notes is way more streamlined with having the 3 thickness options readily available in the toolbar

  5. Currently when you go to Thumbnails it always starts at page 1. This can be inconvenient during lectures when you don't have a lot of time to lose during the writing of your notes.

    For example of you have a pdf with about 100 pages and you are currently at page 60. If you want to go back about ten pages from where you're at (so to p.50). Then you need to scroll all the way down from p.1 to p.50 instead of just 10 pages up.

    This is even more inconvenient if you don't know the exact page number…

  7. Hi, I would be glad if you could add a fuction, which will allow us to summarise and write notes right next to the page. I often upload pdf textbooks or research papers, but there is not enough space next to the text. For example Cambridge Spiral allows you to add a note next to the page you read, so it does not cover the text on the page. I would love that fuction if I could write the notes by hand. I think it will be useful mainly for other students who use Goodnotes to write and highlight in…

  9. It would be nice if there was a way to limit synchronisation to individual folders. It would be great if such a feature were realised in the future.

  10. It would be really helpful if we had the feature of being able to have a button next to the tabs which would show all tabs with a preview of the content - just like in Safari for iPadOS.

    It would make finding currently open documents much easier than scrolling through dozens of tabs and having to remember the exact name of the file.

  12. have a great idea! Please implement this feature, i can imagine that many users have the same issues.

    I I am creating multiple cards in a learn set, Goodnotes will ask me at the next day to repeat every card. If you have written many card (like 50-70) it can be really hard to learn everything at just one day.
    My idea: the activation of cards. You can decide how many cards you want to activate. Only activated cards will be taken into account at the repetition. That would be super helpful!
    Thank you!

  13. Similar to how it's done on Instagram reels or TikTok, a trashcan icon would appear all the way at the bottom when you have something selected with the lasso tool so you can easily drag it and discard it in one step instead of having to select a tool, long press and select 'delete'. This is especially helpful with text, as it is annoying to go through the process of deleting it.

  14. When writing a study set, the action of moving to the next square is not natural. i have to swipe several times to move on. I would like you to improve this. In particular, I feel uncomfortable because I don't go with two fingers when using the trackpad.

    I sincerely wish your company endless development.

    Thank you.

  15. This is what I primarily use the app for, this version is really disappointing for this reason, making students in my study group all purchase this makes me using his app useless, I’m going to look for another one with shareable flashcards features, it’s too bad I really liked this one

  16. After the latest update which is the addition of voice recording into the toolbar, the brace cursor disappeared. I think the toolbar customization feature should be offered because the sidebar for the pages does not work effectively, especially for large pdf(s) (for ex. while I am looking at page 123 the sidebar stays at page 4). Thus, adding a brace for any page becomes frustrating.

  17. Please add support for automatic backup to pCloud as well as importing easily from pCloud.

    They have a public API that should make this a relatively easy task.

  18. Often I find myself needing to copy/paste to change the position of an item so that it is layered properly.

    Apparently, the options to “Sent to Front” and “Send to Back” have ben added, but I don’t see how to use them. This also doesn’t solve the problem fully.

    We need to be able to move by a single layer as well. The additional options to “Move Forward” or “Move Back”, would completely resolve this and the number of other requests for the same thing.

    Ideally, using the lasso tool to select any number of objects including handwriting, or long…

  19. I'd like to be able to remove pens/etc from the selection area so that I can access more colors / tip selections. Also the scrolling is annoying. I only need the pen, eraser, marker and maybe the shapes.

  20. Add a duplicate button for selected lasso regions, images, text, etc.
    this makes the workflow much faster

    Make copy-pasting faster by allowing for tapping the screen to bring up a menu that includes the "past button" instead of the tap-and-hold function.
