  2. When I select a new colour from the drop-down / multiple list and click out of the colour selector, that new colour is not automatically chosen to be the new pen colour.

  3. I type the outlines for my university lecture notes in one go on my laptop and it would be great if there was a keyboard shortcut to add an outline for the current page. That way I wouldn't have to switch between the keyboard and trackpad all the time.

  4. Enable different search highlight colors. I tend to use orange highlighter (best for multiple layers for emphasis) and the search highlighter gets drowned out with it.

  5. I am a user living in Japan.

    There is a request. It is a function to display in a spread. This is not about spread views. I want to display two consecutive pages like a book in one app. It will be very convenient when reading one document on the horizontal screen of the iPad.

    I am not good at explaining in English, so I attached an image file.

    Thank you for the great app. I will continue to use it.

  6. I want to be able to see my notes from anywhere. I don't have a mac but I still want to be able to see my notes. Maybe you could make a website and you can log into the website to see your notes.

  9. The flash card studying window on a mac is not using the screen size. The window on an iMac is so small that the cards are only barely readable even if the application is opened as a full screen window.

  13. If you open a note or a folder from your favorites when you close the note or folder it goes back to your favorites. Can you make it so it goes to the folder that the note or folder was in?

  14. When I highlight text, I want the option to add a comment/explanation that then hides in the comment icon next to the highlighted text. When I click on the icon, that explanation then appears underneath the text. And when I click on the background, it goes back to the way it is.

  15. A lot of people like me like write notes on typing. In the fast pace of my school, I cannot keep up with just the writing method. I draw, type, and handwrite.
    I encourage good notes 5 to have some more basic texting function to organize the typing field (especially listing)
    1. Numbered list (1.2.3.4.)
    2. Bulleted list
    3. line space

    those 3 are so easy to accomplish by the developer but it can help us to organize our type notes!!!!!

    WITHOUT BULLET POINT, MY NOTES R CLUSTERS

  16. It will be much more convenient if Goodnotes allows users to add personal colours to the presets section for text boxes. This feature is available for highlights and handwritings but not the text boxes!! :(

  17. I like to have my notes very densely packed, so I typically use the finest thickness pen and zoom in nearly all the way.

    However, when zoomed in, the lasso tool thickness (the blue dotted lines) becomes extremely thick and selecting small items is difficult.

    Suggestion: When zoomed in, make the lasso line width thinner.

  18. It would be great to have a marker, that covers already written text and when you click on it (with the finger, not pen), it shows you what lies beneath!
    This would be very useful for documents where you need to memorise the answers but first want to think of the question without immediately seeing the written solution beneath.

  19. My iPad is large and there is a lot of unused space next to the color dots on the toolbar. I think there could be space for extra colors.

  20. It would be AMAZING if it were possible to auto backup to iCloud Drive just like it's possible to backup to Google Drive or Dropbox. There are so many people who this would help, and it would make it so much easier to store and organize files on a Mac, or even just on an iPad.
