  2. there is a 'swipe for new page' function in one direction (I use it vertically), but there is no function in the other direction.

    I would love to toggle through my open tabs using horizontal swipe.

    It would make working in different documents a lot easier - especially when there are more than two.

  4. I think it would be beneficial to add a feature where you can chose 3 colors that are automatically selected when you choose it. For example, instead of having to choose red, blue, and yellow colors, you could choose the group instead. This way the three colors are automatically selected on the hot bar.

  8. Pull to Add Page is a great feature. However, in my case it seems to always duplicate the last page in the document. But that doesn't seem to make sense. For example, why - if I have marked up an image in GoodNotes, - would I want to duplicate it? Then I just have another page that is the same as the one before it.

    So I find myself constantly pulling to add page, and then having to delete the newly created (duplicate) page, and then I have to go up to the dropdown menu and choose the template. It…

  9. Many of my friends and I use Goodnotes for handwriting in Ukrainian, but we are unable to convert our handwriting to text (only Russian is supported for the Cyrillic alphabet).

    For many Ukrainians, it would be amazing to write in our language and be able to convert it to text. This is especially true during the oppression in current times, when we are working hard to move away from the russian language as a way to preserve our language and our culture in the face of.

    I would be willing to help, maybe to show different handwriting styles, the alphabet,…

  10. The option for infinite pages like Onenote would be amazing! I find being able to scribble out ideas for mind mapping really helps me with my ADHD.
    The ability to print it out later would be great as well, perhaps in the form of light outlines in the background on the template so we can visualise where all of the writting is going, or an auto suggestion?

    I love how CollaNote allows you to have multiple pen/highlighter options on the side of the page instead of the top bar. That would be reallly really helpful as well as I colour…

  11. If you have a selection it would be nice to be able to just double tap the selection on the screen to copy it. Then if you double tap the screen outside the selection it will paste. Would make the process quicker and less tedious when copying a lot.

    Just to make it clear, I'm not saying double tap the pencil, I am saying double tapping the screen with the pencil.

  13. When exporting handwritten notes or handwritten assignments, it would be very helpful to be able to add margins after the fact so that it can be printed and/or graded. I often write to the very edge of the screen and this neither looks good nor is practical if I want to print and put in a binder. This is a feature Notability has and one of the only things I like better about that app.

  14. Sometimes when I mix dialogues for film I need both hands on the faderboard and can not flip the pages manually. It would be great if I could use a gesture like blinking my left eye or something like that.

  15. Me and a lot of friends use Goodnotes for handwriting in Ukrainian, but we cant recognise it into text now (only Russian language is possible for Cyrillic alphabet).

    For many Ukrainians it would be amazing possibility to write on our language and have possibility to recognise it into typing text (specially now when we are trying not to use russian anymore).

    Willing to help if I can (maybe showing different handwriting style or alphabet or anything i can) :)

  17. I think a pencil for any sketches and just different pens in general that you could even possibly import would be cool! I would love to have a pencil!!!!

  18. It would be great if we could (globally) set whether we wanted both pdf outline and custom outline to both be shown, or only have the custom outline shown.

    Right now I have to manually remove the "pdf outline" option from each document, everytime I open that note. It becomes problematic as the pdf slides provided by my professors have nearly each page as part of the outline on that option, often with missing or nonsensical titles. So it would be greatly appreciated if we could customise our choice in what is shown by default to only include 1 (with…

  20. line extension
    Currently zoom box has the option to extend the line only for writers in a language that is from left to right, yes yes that is most of the world, I understand that.
    Except for those of us who write in languages that are right to left like Arabic and Hebrew, we would be happy if there was also a feature that allows us to write and extend the line for us as well.
