  1. When I am using the new feature audio recordings, I have to write over my work with a pen in order to see what I am referring to on the video. It would be nice to be able to use the existing laser pointer in the video and for it to come through on the video when I watch it later in time.

  4. Could we get an option to adjust the opacity of the highlighter we are using? In using it as a marker it would be nice to have the option for the color to be fully opaque, and then sometimes when highlighting it is nice to have a color brighter in some areas and more transparent in others.

  5. Is there a way to improve the loading speed of the app?

    When I open Goodnotes it takes a while to load the library so that I can choose my notebook, or if I had a notebook open last, it takes a while to load that. During this time the app seems to be frozen. It does the same thing when I'm switching back and forth from another app back to Goodnotes.

    Sometimes Goodnotes opens immediately, other times it can take up to 20 seconds to load, which is a long time to wait when you need to take a…

  6. It is an important function because sometimes we need to enter some words in the docx. so that we can easy to mark our notes. Also, I think if the window version can connect with the ios version is more convenient for the user.

  7. Wenn man die Lernkarten auf dem Smartphone (in meinem Fall iPhone) durchgeht und mehre Zeilen auf der Karte stehen kann man diese nicht scrollen, zumindest nicht im vertikalen modus. Wenn man sein Handy kurz horizontal stellt geht es und dann auch im vertikalen Modus. Bei der nächsten Karte geht es dann wieder nicht und man muss es erneut drehen.
    Das ist sehr nervig beim lernen, es wäre schön wenn dieser Buck gefixt wird.

  9. Swiping pages is not good for me because my eyes do not feel well when the animation is playing. Therefore, a button for the next and previous pages would be a better way to navigate instead of swiping the iPad.

  12. While recording audio, GoodNotes should periodically autosave and start a new recording, e.g. once per hour. This would break the recording into hourlong chunks. This functionality is available in Notability, for example.

    Use case: if the user forgets to turn off recording, it’s easier to delete unnecessary recordings later by looking at the timestamp.

  13. Audio recordings should restore themselves after a crash, app restart, etc. Competitors such as Notability already have this functionality.

  15. Hoping Study Flash card will have some features to include audio recording function to capture spoken words to help reviewing the spelling cards .

    Currently, the flash cards are merely visual cues.

    1. Recordings should serve as links to the notebook page you wrote them on. If you’re listening to a recording, it should automatically hop to the page you were writing on at that part of the recording
    2. Ability to rename, delete, and split recordings
    3. Ability to adjust speed when listening to a recording

  16. My idea is to enable modeling on a toolbar.
    I noticed about myself and my friends that we don't use a picture sticker in a text box at all. And colors are used a lot.

    Allow the color segregation to be increased at the expense of the space of the images and stickers. And an option to arrange the toolbar in a way that's convenient for me.

  18. Instead of showing just what is inside the folder when you click on view notes in list form, show the previous folders that contains file like in computer and allow to adjust the file icon size with a bar.
