  2. It would be fabulous if you could add Swedish to language. I can surely help with translation if needed.

  5. While filling out forms one uses the text box tool many times. The default font size should be of the size used in the last text box, and not 24 every time, so that the user doesn’t have to change it every time as per the need.

  6. I use different size papers for different notebooks and have to change fonts in each one. One size does not fit all. Being able to have a default font for each notebook would be great. Also, some notebooks I use vertical scrolling, and some horizontal. Different defaults there would be great too. Other than that it is perfect for me. . Keep up the good work. .

  7. Dear Goodnotes4 Developers

    How are you?
    I am a Goodnotes 4 user from Thailand and I have a question for you. I can't open Goodnote4 after updating my iOS version to 14.6. I have important files in the app and I tried importing them to Goodnotes 5 but to no avail. Is there any way I can get my files and documents back?
    Thank you for taking the time to read this and I am patiently looking forward to your reply.

    Thank you.
    Charles

  8. For example, when I highlight “carboxyl” I can click on the highlight, and BANG—a picture of carboxyl (that I drew in the annotation) pops up. Not only that, but in a pdf, when I highlight a text I can create my own comments in the small annotation box.

    This resembles closely to the google docs Suggestion tool, except Goodnotes!

  10. Making flashcards takes time.
    We could save a lot of time by just flipping the pages with notes.
    By doing so we could use our notes as answers and we only need to come up with some questions for that specific slide.

  11. Hi,

    i would be good if we can import and manage the layers inside PDF.
    (show and hide function)

    We definitly need a layer system inside Goodnotes to create, delete, move
    custom layers and the option to move our notes to a specific layer.

    I have a brand new iPad Pro M1 and my imported PDF are very slow to handle
    (it takes a lot of time to show them sharp!).

    We need a ruler, triangle ruler and protractor.
    and the abibility to force specific alignments for lines (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, ...)

    We need a grid a…

  13. As a high school student and soon to be university student, i take a lot of notes, annotations, etc. sometimes, my teachers give us pdf’s to read or just a document of the information, rubric, etc. it would be so much easier to be able to attach a file to the page, like a picture, that you can click and it automatically opens it. i used onenote a lot in middle school, and that was an function that i loved from onenote. i only use goodnotes now and onenote if it’s really necessary, but i’d stop using onenote all together…

  14. sort files in the order I want without date type or name, because if there are many files I want it to be close to each other but without having to create more folders because it is difficult to find again when opening too many messages item

  15. I would love to see more math tools in general, since I know many people who use GoodNotes for Maths and Pyhsics. It would be nice if this would made the app more accessible for those students, not only for the „typical Medicine student GoodNotes user“.
    Besides all the math tools, a feature of an inbuilt calculator, which can calculate your hand written calculations would be fantastic!
    The App „MyScript Calculator“ is a great example for this feature.
    Thanks for considering my feature request.

  16. I would really love to see a lot more theme based icons which can be directly imported in a notebook. They would save a lot of time, since you don’t have to draw them manually anymore and they would improve learning by visualizing the topic!
    This could be easily located in the new Sticker menu (with a search function).
    A really good example is the icons menu in PowerPoint.
    Example:
    You type „school“
    Icons: School Building Icon, Classroom icon, calculator icon etc.
    I think it would be Important that these icons look very simple (Not fancy and colorful) just like…

  19. I use good notes to hand write paragraphs poems and stories I find myself selecting lines and moving them around to reorganize. Some time ther is not enough space between the lines. I would love to see a feature that selects the paragraph then a similar feature like the resize feature that allows the line spacing between line to be increased. I envision this being similar to an explode feature on a cad drawing but much more simplified

  20. I wish your app could allow Video and Audio Recording and producing nice tutoring videos similar to what possible in Doceri.
    Your app is much more user-friendly and performs way better than Doceri in any aspect, but unfortunately, it misses that feature.
