  2. I often switch pencils colors and strokes width, also between pencils and highlights.
    If we can use stock buttons which enable us to stock pencils or highlights preferences including color, width, this function makes GoodNotes easier to use!!

  3. I HATE that even though I’m using the lasso tool and have images and text boxes turned OFF, if I accidentally tap on either it will allow me to edit it. This is so annoying.

  4. It would be great to be able to add writing to the diagrams in the study sets- I was able to quickly add photos from power points into the "add image" mode with the three icons at the top of the page but after making a bunch of flashcards realized that when I clicked the pen icon the diagram disappeared and I couldn't get it back! It would be more efficient to write on the diagram versus having to upload a photo from the camera roll to write on it. It would be nice to be able to write on…

  6. Option to add more than 1 page at a time. If you have a meeting or class you need to add pages 1 by 1 until you have the amount of pages you think you will use because if you do it during the activity you may miss something.

  7. i would love to be able to group items (texts, images, stickers, etc) together and be able to move/lock them as one unit. this works for handwritten text through the lasso feature but it doesn't seem to work for others and i think it this could be a great addition!

  10. The upper toolbar, where we the share-button or the undo-button are sadly is in a dark grey colour. I would wish that the customer can choose an arbitrary colour or even theme for this upper toolbar. For example OneNote is purple and in Notability the theme of the background and the toolbar can be changed.
    Thanks in advance.

  11. Hello, I use the study kit option a lot and there are some features that I would like you to include.

    1° I would like to have the option of being able to change the order of the cards, when I am in thumbnail mode, in the same way, that I can modify the order of the pages in a notebook.

    2nd I would like to be able to move cards individually or by selecting several from one set to another.

    3rd In thumbnail mode I would like to see the names of the cards much larger, on the iPhone…

  13. post it on the app should be easier to use. when you use them they should appear so you can write on them but when you top using them they should disappear/minimize (only appear as a little icon) so they don't use real estate on the screen or block part of it . when you want to read the theme you could press on the icon and the post should re-emerge.

  14. Imagine having a notebook for a specific subject like gravity in physics. Having to look up the formulas is unnecessary and requires to open two goodnote windows. What if there was a drop down or draggable smaller window that shows them specific for the notebooks with own written notes?

  15. The new feature for writing over the whole page definitely needs adjustable fonts, as well as writing exactly in the lines of the template

  16. Guten Tag,
    ich studiere zur Zeit und nutze dabei sehr gerne die neue Funktion der Lernsets. Eine kleine Verbesserung, welche aus meiner Sicht sehr zur Übersicht beitragen würde, ist dass man einstellen kann, von welchen Lernsets man eine Benachrichtigung bekommen möchte, dass man diese lernen soll. Ich habe nämlich viele Lernsets und verliere da total den Überblick.
    Vielen Dank im Voraus.

  17. The same colour and size is selected while annotating for Pen tool and Drawing Box/circle/shape tool by default . I hope the team works on this in future updates and lets users have separate colours for each tool and not necessarily default choice, so each time we switch tools it doesn’t hamper the flow

  18. Recommend adding a multi-touch free rotation function with zoom capabilities to facilitate page customization and enhance user experience, such as filling out forms with horizontal and vertical fields. Example of this feature can be observed in Zinnia application for iOS and iPadOS.

  19. It would great if you can see all comments you wrote in one book together. Perhaps under the field outlines "see all comments".

  20. I think it would be great if I marked a wohle text with highlighter/marker that I can easyily change the color oft the marker. Until yet there is only the function that I can change the pencil color, but not the marker color.
    Thanks!
