  1. My suggestion is to add a feature that enables changing the size, font, color etc of individual words within the same text box, without affecting the formatting of the entire text. This would provide more flexibility and precision in formatting text, and make it easier to create professional-looking documents.

  2. When checking the answer in smart learning mode, I would like you to choose the action in which the card is turned back. Although the action of the card turning backwards is intuitive, it is difficult because it takes a long time to keep checking multiple things.

    Thank you!

  3. when resizing handwriting or images, allowing the user to snap back to the original size would be helpful as some people may only want to rotate/change orientation of the object without changing size.

  5. Putting notes in a folder is convenient, but it would also be very convenient to be able to sort or search based on user-defined tags. Apple notes or Gmail are good examples.

  6. When working on an exercise sheet it is annoying to go back and forth between the sheet and the extra page you're writing on. It would be amazing if goodnotes had boxes that you can add right on the exercise sheet which can be collapsed to hide / expanded to edit so you have the (potentially long) solution you wrote right next to the exercise.

  7. Allow goodnotes to auto create a folder where all the cards you need to smart review are allocated automatically each day so you don't need to dish through all your work to find them

  8. A toggle setting for handwriting to be automatically aligned (moved to be written in a straight line) and letter height adjustment so they appear more even.

  9. It would be great to be able to import webpages as pdfs into GoodNotes as one continuous page (like the pageless mode in google doc).
    The imports now will have page breaks which split some characters (top-bottom), which could be difficult to read at times.

  12. It would be great to have some way of changing all the handwriting or highlighting of a certain color to another color. This way, I can experiment with different color schemes on notes that I have already taken, without having to manually select every occurrence of a certain color with the lasso tool and changing the color.

  13. It would be extremely beneficial to adopt some formatting options for text, bulleted lists, and outlines similar to typical document editing programs, such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs. While the app is currently great, the lack of an option to create an outline-style text box is a huge inconvenience. If you could make an outline with roman numerals and tab over for uniform subsections the app could save countless frustrating situations that students face having to use multiple document programs. While this may seem like a small problem, it is the only thing preventing GoodNotes from completely perfecting the…

  14. I read a lot of papers from Arxiv, which are of the form https://arxiv.org/pdf/XXXXXXXX.pdf

    I would like to import a pdf to read directly from the link. Right now, I have to download the paper, store it in hard drive, import it in Goodnotes, then delete the file. This creates unnecessary steps and I have to delete the files later anyways. Would be great if I could import pdf directly from a link that links to a pdf.

    In OneNote, I can directly import pdf to OneNote notebook using a Chrome extension.

  16. After coping text from and pdf and pasting into GoodNotes there should be an option to return to the previous tool, such as the pen, to go straight to adding notes or drawing. Much like the eraser can automatically return to the pen.

  18. Maybe an option of hold pressing on the thickness button and the ability to change the width by sliding pen up and down (to select the strokes), so we wouldn't have to open the stroke button every 2 seconds for switching?

  19. I love GoodNotes on iOS but would LOVE to use it on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 which is 7.6" - just shy of the 8" minimum. Any chance as the beta goes, GoodNotes will open up to my size screen?

  20. 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! :)
