  2. When you are in the zoom window feature and are coming to the end of the window the line should automatically continue to flow so the writing flow is not stopped. Also the next line should be suggested like now with the window but also that suggestion should not stop the writing flow.

  3. I’d like for there to be a way to “tag” cards within individual study sets a variety of colors. For example, if I have cards related to biology, I can tag them “green” and cards related to math can be “red”. When I go to study all of my cards, I want to be able to customize how many of each “tag” I want in my study session. For example, maybe I want to have a study session that’s mostly Biology with some Math as well. I would customize that I want 15 “green” cards and 5 “red” cards in…

  4. Add a button in the Bar at the top, similar to the pen layout. There is tons of empty space and the only button gives a short explanation on how to use it. There could easily be a button to convert to text, math, copy, paste, etc. Instead you have to click through the menu that pops up by holding with your finger, requiring you to drop the pen etc. This would improve workflow and is an easy implementation. Seems like forgoten feature.

  5. I sometimes need to change everything from US letter yellow to US letter whitebackground. That's for the purpose of printing. Otherwise, the yellow background could be distracting. It would be nice if we could have an option to do that.

    Thanks!

  6. There a many suggestions w.r.t. to linking and it seems to me that they relate to linking FROM GoodNotes to websites or within GoodNotes itself.

    What I would want is to link FROM another app TO a page or even better any object within GoodNotes.

    Example: Within DEVONthink I can get a url (e.g. x-devonthink-item://32BE24E3-...) to any item (group, document, PDF page, search, ..) within its database. I use those links from other apps like Omnifocus, Obsidian, ...

    The existing Sharing seems to link to the whole notebook (which might have dozens of pages) and allows for collaboration (which I…

  8. I would love if there was an option, when importing a PDF, to import it with a standardized and beautiful style, with text formatting, spacing, etc., sort of like Omnivore or Kindle. It would make reading PDFs on GoodNotes so much nicer of an experience. You could go even further and have options to increase text, change the color background, etc., like you can on the Kindle app.

  9. Personally I have many folders to be organized inside GN6 and its would be cool to have a breadcrumb feature at the top so that I can easier exit instead of repeatedly pressing back.

  10. Right now we can only export a study set as a .goodnotes file. I want to be able to export it as a .pdf file.

  11. "We need an integrated LaTeX editor, allowing for a combination of text and LaTeX boxes. Additionally, it should have a comprehensive LaTeX library, and ideally, apps like GoodNotes should offer math and chemistry keyboards."

  12. Drag is very weird and hard to move around. Also, when I logged back in, all the colors disappeared, so I had to re-enter a new color again, which was very cumbersome. Page loading time is very slow and sometimes it erase some parts of my writing.
    Lastly, when typing, words are omitted due to buffering or the same words come out continuously, making it inconvenient to take notes.
    Why is it still different from IOS? As I know, it's been almost half a year since the Android version was released, but there are no additional functions like the IOS…

  14. I use GoodNotes to store pdfs of my textbooks for college. I bookmark specific chapters, but it is so hard to find what page I am looking for because the thumbnails are an inch tall while looking at the page view.

    I think it would be best to have these thumbnails bigger because it is impossible to read a word from a page without moving my face really close to the screen.

    I attached two screenshots showing how small and unfortunately illegible these pages are. I also use GoodNotes on my iPad, and I love it. I feel like this…

  17. Goodnotes need to be little innovative to help manage time for its users. The readers must have the option to add timer per page. Once activated, the user should have the ability to hide or show the timer with one tap on top right corner of toolbar. This will ensure effective management of time to complete the required work.

    The doc timer tool can enhance effectiveness and therefore help boost confidence in their daily schedule.

    Once timer crosses scheduled limit,
    The user has to bear temporary consequences (any option as selected from following choices in setting)

  18. I have been working on good notes to annotate my case studies. I like taking notes on the side but sadly there is not enough space in the papers to take notes. I think it would be a great feature to add page space to take notes on the side.

    Another is adding comments, a feature to have a full view of the comments on the side of the page similar to the feature on google doc would be great and if integrated into the tile view would be fantastic.

  19. Now that the customizable taskbar update has been released, it would be useful to have the ability to resize/adjust the length of the taskbar sections left and right in order to make room for more or less tools and colors. That way instead of having a user scroll through a bunch of colors, they can just adjust the section bar to the left to reveal more of their color palette.
    [Similarly to how Window PC taskbars have the “bars” that adjust icons left and right.]

    It would also be great to have an option to lock the adjustments as well.
