  1. There are quite a few preferences, that should be set and/or remembered „per document“ and “not app-wide” because they depend mainly upon the content and style of each notebook. Including:

    • scroll direction

    • auto advance of zoom window

    • last used size of zoom window

    • last used margins of zoom window

    • pen colour presets (we now have a 3rd tab for recently used colours, this should be a “document colour preset” or “recently used in THIS document” instead)

    • last used text style and text box style (and user style presets if we ever get them)

    • filter settings for paper template selection (format…

  2. Search by filtering stickers.
    I use the stickers to highlight important passages of the texts; it would be very useful to filter the pages where there are some stickers or, even better, being able to search and filter for a specific sticker.
    Thanks

  3. After writing down a paragraph in a specific color (lets say black), I would like the ability to select a tool (maybe one that looks like a lens) and would allow me to go back over the words I have already written and change their color to something else (such as blue or red). That way, I would no longer have to erase something and rewrite it in a new color. It is different from the highlight tool because I am not suggesting adding an additional color, rather I am suggesting the ability to change the color of these pen…

  4. Planning a novel needs so much space and specific cards, such as:

    • character development
    • scene structure
    • act structure
    • character profiles
    • chapter outline
    • plot outline
    • etc.

  6. It would be a critical feature for to have a global color palette that can be used in both handwriting and text. Otherwise, we will have to do double entry for every custom color that we want to use in different tools.

  7. Instead of having all of the colors next to one another, create a new way to organize the colors into different folders. This would make it easier to stick to a certain colors when using GoodNotes. While people would still have the option to have the colors side by side, allowing for some sort of organization folder would make it easier to find some colors and stick to those depending on the document being worked on.

  12. I would love to be able to change the order of my flashcards (in ministure mode).
    Also, I would like to star/bookmark certain cards the way I do with regular documents. A separate study option for bookmarked cards would be super useful.

  13. It would be great if there was the option to edit a flashcard while in practice/smart learn mode. Sometimes you spot errors while studying and when you do, at the moment you have to leave study mode and swipe through all your flashcards to fix it.

  14. When you tap in an iPad with three fingers, a bubble with redo and undo buttons will appear on the top of the screen. It could be useful, however, GoodNotes seems to support only the undo function, while the redo button can never be activated. I’m wondering maybe you can fix this problem.

  18. Thank you so much for adding a Windows app.

    It would be very nice to link it to my IOS account. I've gotten around this by sharing the workbooks through E-Mail, but I look forward to when I can work seamlessly across my personal intermixed ecosystem. Thank you for continuing to improve.

  19. I often scan documents by using GoodNote's function. Scan docs then write down memo with Apple Pencil on GoodNotes.
    Most Hiragana and Katakana are ok, but Kanji isn't. For example, printed word is "揉捏", but recognized string will be "探程" , "操探" etc. It happens even though scanned image is clear. Those characters' shape is totally different from the original string for Japanese or Kanji users.

    I would be appreciate if OCR could be improved.
    I also understood kanji character's shape is complicated and OCR library might be limited. So correcting OCRed string can be alternative.

  20. I totally love your Full page text typing tool and use it daily. Especially the Cornell Notes template is my favorite to use with it. But unfortunately it takes a lot of effort to move a text box to the height of the text so that it looks nice and uniform. I would like to see a second frame on the left side of the Cornell Notes template in addition to the full page typing frame. This would be very helpful.
