  1. These three things are much needed
    Auto Detection of Arrows is very helpful in many cases
    Dotted Lines/Dashed Lines are very necessary in Making Diagrams especially in mathematics and physics
    Duplicate feels more easy than copy and pasting the thing, adding duplicate with copy will save time
    Inverting PDF too seems necessary sometimes

    Only because of these 4 functions I have to sometime switch to notability and it does not feel good cause I have paid for GoodNotes

  2. Pretty much the title, just like normal documents you can share the flashcards with one link and can collaborate and real time add on to it with your friends.

  3. Möglichkeit das man die Sortierung in „Datum“, „Titel“ und „Art“ nur Lokal in jeder Unterebene vornimmt. In der Ordner Übersicht könnte man also zum Beispiel nach „Titel“ sortieren und im jeweiligen Ordner nach „Datum“.

  4. It would be awesome to have the possibility to save an individual color palette for typed texts just like it is for handwritten texts. At the moment there’s just the option to save one explicit favourite text style respectively text color.

  5. I've been using Good Notes for university and life in general for two years now, and there are several features that would make the app a much better place to study.
    I've thought about them and here they go (my native language isn't english so sorry if i make mistakes):

    -The audio option could be better (it would be great to be able to leave them inserted as stickers in any part of the sheet and thus divide the audio into sections, and that when pressed the previously recorded audio would sound). Also give them names and that they are…

  7. The handwriting experience in GoodNotes 4 is much better, because the fountain pen is not that exaggerated like in GoodNotes 5. Please optimise this.

  8. I think adding a tool for drawing curves for diagrams that for example engineering students must draw for their notes will be very helpful like the one exists in CollaNote.

  10. It would be great if GN had the possibility to have lines in the "zoom" so that handwritten notes can be written straight without having lines in the document itself.

  11. Merging pdf, either between existing goodnotes files or those in my files, is something I do fairly regularly. I have to usually turn to online sources that are sometimes a little sketchy looking rather than paying high fees to do something that should be simple. I would love to see this ability added to goodnotes!

  12. It would be nice to say "Select all handwriting" or simply "select all". Oftentimes when I need to resize I have to draw my lasso around the whole object multiple times because it misses a small or large portion. It would make resizing much easier if we could just say select all.

  13. Please setup a note just like “Freeform”which you can write nonstop and connect ideas together on an unlimited screen
    Love the recording feature however if you can set it up to play from the point you touch your slide or when you wrote something it will much helpful.

    If they are sounding vague please give me a call and I can explain more

  14. When learning with the new flash card function, I like to copy/paste sentences from other documents onto a flash card and highlight the words I want to learn the translation of. (more context ->better learning)
    Implementing a „Big, cursive, underscore ability“ like in other GoodNotes-documents or some other highlighting-option would be greatly appreciated.

  15. It has been mentioned before, but it's worth repeating: Searching within specific folders would be incredibly helpful on the GoodNotes note-taking app. GoodNotes is an excellent note-taking app that works well on all systems, and it would be even better if it could be used across all platforms, including Windows. Improving the search function would be a significant improvement for everyone, especially those who rely on the app for note-taking.

    Furthermore, it would be fantastic if an online collection of documents could be created. This would allow users to access their records through a secure login on a website. Finally,…

  16. Kindly add this feature of more highlighter color displayed on tab since as a student I use minimum of 5 highlighter colors to study and also to read personal books. It was such a hassle to change color by tapping the additional color instead of just having a 5 color option displayed. It will save A LOT OF TIME for those who study with this style who uses color coding scheme. Please help us.

  18. The standard way of using the marker is to draw an ugly form of transparent color above your text. Imagine, you could just recolor the text you have previously written instead with the marker pen in another mode...the standard method of selecting, long pressing and changing color with a menu every time takes soo long. Attached is an image with an example and an icon idea.

  19. The topic says it all really …

    Currently the app preferences captures a setting for your language, with respect to handwriting recognition.

    My suggestion is to extend that data point to also apply to the default language used when creating a new “Study Set” of flash cards.

    The need to change this every time seems a failing on the part of the design…
