  2. Immediately after I started using the app to take notes in class, I have found myself wanting a contextual menu that can show up around the pencil.

    My idea would be to use the double tap in the Apple Pencil, or a double tap of the Pencil on a note (or another shortcut), that would open a menu around the last position of the Pencil.

    This menu would have color palette, tool options, and tool selection.

    This could allow the user to have the toolbar off or just have a shortcut to the toolbar options.

  4. I rotate pen, eraser and lasso tools very often and very quickly. I would like to be even quicker. For this, it would be useful to have an auto-deselect option for the lasso tool, to be triggered when I tap anywhere in the page, as I normally do to deselect the selected object. The auto-deselect should give me back the pen automatically. Also, it would be very intuitive and amazingly fast having the reverse behaviour by tapping the pen outside the page to select the lasso tool.

  5. You can copy an object to the clipboard or a toolbox. The clipboard would function as normal but the toolbox would allow for multiple objects to be pasted into the document without needing to re-copy. Would be helpful for repeated objects like graphing coordinate systems. Example workflow: select objects as normal using lasso, select “copy to toolbox” instead of copy. Select the toolbox icon from the menu in which a drop down list of objects is visible. Select and hold the object and drag into notebook.

  6. I work a lot with imported PDF and want to organize them with outlines. I usually select a headline on a page, copy the text, select Add Outline (with two clicks) and insert the copied text.

    I'd really like to select a text and have the option to directly add an outline in the context/selection menu (directly besides marking or copying the text).
    This would mean only 3-4 clicks instead of 8.

  7. I found a very bad bug. That is, if you write text on the right side using the magnifying tool, it will look like a photo. I want you to fix it as soon as possible.

  9. I’d like to have a bar containing my pens where I can customised the colours, type, thickness so that I don’t always have to go back and forth to change the properties. This would indeed increase my productivity while writing a colourful note

  11. Add a toolbar when the keyboard mode is activated, in that form, we will have shortcuts for type of fonts, size , curved, italic , center, color , taps, like a mini toolbar like Word

  12. Considering the high refresh rate of the iPads display, there must be a was to reduce the latency of the Pencil, especially when drawing long lines quickly. Just take a look at Apple's Notes App. There is almost 0 lag, no matter how fast you dran of write.

  13. Have functionality to save current text style e.g. font, colour, size bold etc so that you can quickly switch between them or apply to existing text.

  14. Have a small “x” Icon for deleting text boxes just like you have for images!!! I usually type a lot in textbooks, and I find it very hard to delete them!

  15. Add a streamline option for the pen/pencil/marker tools similar to the streamline option in Procreate. That way, those who write in cursive won't have as much trouble with shakiness & therefore there wouldn't be any "jerky" lettering.

  16. The current dark paper template is actually a grey, which makes it harder to read when you're writing with light colours. It would be a lot more legible if the grey were a darker black.

  17. Much like the writing magnifier, except it will convert your written words in that window in real time onto the page as typeface text.

  19. I would like to convert an entire note to plain text (including all pages) with one export/convert/copy operation and not have to lasso select each page one-at-a-time.

  20. Your support tools for creating new templates is poor at best. The link to the YouTube video is deleted. The most recent info is 2 yers old!?
    I just want the simple answer to create my key tasks at the top of the page and daily notes below without buying templates on 3rd party sites. You seem to support the 3rd party eco system over providing SIMPLE instructions for users to for their own.
