  2. I really like to have an easy way on iPad/iPhone and soon Mac (seeing Shortcuts coming) to create a task in a preferred To-Do app (like Things or so)

  3. It would be very useful to insert a function that, after selecting an equation written by hand with the pen, using the lazo tool, recognizes this and calculates it automatically.

  6. I would like to be able to categorize each sub-title under a main-title and even have a “shrink” option such that I can greatly reduce the number of titles in my outline. It takes a lot of time to scroll to the bottom otherwise.

  7. When taking a screenshot with the lasso tool, give the option to create an element directly, instead of having to save the image in the camera roll and then import it back.

  8. Two multi line text boxes with different blank lines and same row spacing cannot be aligned.

    what’s more, could you add the function to set the exact number on row spacing adjusting? it’s too cumbersome to tap the “+” again and again

  9. It would be nice if I could upload, say, a text document with one word or sentence on each line, and have Goodnotes automatically produce a deck of flashcards with blank space for the question and each line of text as the answer. (Or a two-column spreadsheet with one column of question text and one column of answer text.)

  10. A lot of helpful diagrams are from imported from my photos, having the ability to search words that appear on a photo would be helpful. It really sucks having to go through every single folder and picture just to try and find the one I am looking for.

  11. In goodnotes its not possible to change ink thickness after writing.
    To change ink thickness, one has to rewrite it with a different pen thickness.

    This is a basic requirement of a handwritting app

  12. There needs to be an overhaul on the design layout of the flashcards. No matter if I use my iPad Pro, my MacBook Air, my iPhone, or a 34" monitor for studying notes, the flashcards are barley visible.

    such a good tool and idea rendered almost useless by the design...

  13. I think it would be great if we were able to have movable sticky notes that would also move the text inside of it without affect any highlighting already resent on the page. Or being able to deselect highlighting when using the lasso tool so that I could move just my makeshift sticky notes.

  14. Please add a feature where I can view all of the phrases/sentences I’ve highlighted in a particular document, sorted by highlight color and arranged by page order. Preferably exportable into a PDF file. It would be very useful for students like me. Thanks!

  15. Set up automatic backup of Baidu network disk for Chinese users, because most Chinese users do not use Google drive. But we have great demands for automatic backup, equipment coordination, and data transfer and sharing. I sincerely hope that you can adopt this suggestion, thank you.

  16. Dublicate selection by select, hold, drag and let go. Like copy and paste but quicker.

  20. Elements Improvement Suggestion

    1) It is often that user import a whole page of stickers that haven't been 'cut' individually. An option to be able to "edit" elements and crop them out (rectangle/freehand) would be helpful so we can import a whole page of uncut PNG rather than having to cut them one by one to import into Elements.

    2) When selecting elements, elements are automatically placed in the middle of the page, because elements can be rather small, it sometimes gets muddled with other stickers/elements making it difficult to select and move it. I would like to suggest the…
