  3. The toolbar can be moved to the left side of the screen with the elements being ordered vertically, so to have more space to write

  4. Similar to Microsoft Notes , it would be cool to include a document feature that I could also write on, like on the website mabe. For example, with Microsoft Notes you can type in the notebook on you computer, and then using the Microsoft Notes app (on tablet) you can also write on that same notes page. I know we can type notes onto goodnotes, however I like being able to type on my macbook and then if i want to write, transfer over to my ipad.

  5. If we want to do a lasso screen shot of an area which is free of self made elements, the screenshot icon appears directly on the lasso-options-bar, but when we want to do a screenshot with self made elements (does not matter if it‘s a picture, stylus writing or normal text) inside the lasso, we need to click on „more“ to get to the screenshot option. Please just add this back so it works faster, I think this was possible a couple of years ago.

  7. A search bar when you select the “Element” tool so you can search for specific types of sticker. Ex: “Check mark” or “Red Book”. I have a few huge sticker packs and it takes forever trying to find a specific sticker.

  8. I want to be able to use my own AWS account for AI related features so that way all my data stays strictly with me. It would be ideal to have a place to enter my access keys or whatever credentials I used to access my account.

  9. Es wäre hilfreich, wenn die ganze Funktion Smartes lernen ausgebaut werden würde und in einem eigenen Bereich leichter die Aufgabenliste für den Tag zu betrachten ist. Dann könnte man einen Kalender des Monates einblenden sodass angezeigt wird, wenn man die Karteikarten für den Tag bearbeitet hat. Vielleicht ist der Tag dann farbig hinterlegt. So wird man motiviert und das ganze System ist auch übersichtlicher. Häufig fällt einem nämlich gar nicht richtig auf, dass für den Tag Karteikarten zu lösen sind.

  11. The andriod version has so few features compared to the IOS. It's quite a disservice to andriod users who dislike apple ios. Please work on the andriod version tot be up to par with the ios!!

  13. It could be great if the study set cards could be more customizable so you could add text and a photo and don't have to choose between them.

    In addition to this, it could be great if the app could be made controller compatible so you can link a controller to scroll through the cards.

  14. I like the spell-checking and automatic math features in Goodnotes, but I find it jarring to look at text in my own handwriting next to text in the built-in "handwriting" font. I think it would be really cool to make it so when you autofill an equation or use the spell-check feature it maintains the style of your handwriting instead of using a stock handwriting.

  16. Students often struggle with professors’ PDF slides featuring unusual or difficult color combinations. A practical solution to this issue would be introducing a new feature in GoodNotes: the ability to convert documents into black-and-white mode, enhancing readability and usability.

  17. I loved getting a satisfying ding when using Microsoft Suite’s to do list and ticking off a task. It would be great if we could add a sound when inserting stickers for the same gratification. Even if this were just made possible through ‘Shortcuts’ on the iPad, so we could add a sound. That would increase my motivation.

  18. Instead of having to drag past the edge for adding a new page, it would be nice if Goodnotes had an option to always add an empty page at the end, similar to how Notability does it. This would be particularly useful for vertical page, since writing at the bottom edge of the screen is ergonomically difficult.

  19. The space that the current toolbar takes on smaller ipads very large, designing a option to toggle the toolbar into a small movable window like in notability would drastically improve the space for smaller devices.
    I have been thinking of switching over for this exact reason but would like to see if this could be implemented first.
    Thank you.

  20. I am a heavy goodnotes user, I have noticed that when my notes become complex the app starts to lag/bug/stutter to the point where my handwriting changes (as if the app is drawing straight lines between points that are noticeably further away from each other). By complex files, I don't mean long documents but rather supercharged single-page documents (for cheat sheets for example)

    edit: I am using an M series iPad Pro
