  2. It needs notification time review and no need to change when I study it three times a day.
    The button study again like a counter without any conditions.

  3. When copying and pasting with the Lasso tool, we are given the option to resize and rotate, but we are NOT given the option to mirror the image, that is, reflecting it with respect to the vertical axis. That would be a useful improvement, in my opinion.

    For example, to draw a face it would be enough to draw the right eye, half a nose and half a mouth, then mirror it.

  4. The BOOK of PDF version has cover and table of contents, which will lead to the inconsistency between the page number displayed in the software in the bottom right corner and the page number in the book catalog, which will cause great inconvenience to turn the book, so there should be the function of custom page number to customize the first page

  6. In presenting mode, rather than showing the full page or what the presenter page, can you introduce a feature that allows just one area of the page to be locked in the presentation so that I can write on this section and isolate it from the rest of the page while allowing me to read on/work ahead while my students read through what is on the board.

  7. I really want goodnotes to ask before closing any tab for more convenient such as "Are you sure you want to close 123.pdf ?". I usually open multiple tabs and I accidentally close some tab that I don't know. (I know that I can find the recent tabs I've opened.) Sometimes I close wrong tab too. Thank you for reading my opinion in advance.

  8. Could you please add a search function into the trash area so we can search trashed notebooks - we search using job numbers so this would be very handy in this area as well.

  9. We use good notes to draw dimensions onto house plans as a site measure. Since the new update our lines straighten but remain at an angle - This is nice however we would like to be able to have the option to enable parallel snapping so when a line is drawn slight off 90degrees it straightens up to 90 degrees or 180degrees this makes drawing dimension annotation very fast - at the moment we need to straight the lines by editing the node for every line which is slow and frustrating.

  10. The ability to save custom text box styles and easily access them (using the text style icon) so that they can be re-used rather than changing the default each time.

    It would be great to use when trying to type out different styles of notes such as for headers or key notes. Take for example creating agenda week headers using pretty fonts and fun colours vs text boxes to note key points during a lecture that must be done quickly and can easily be read. In this example, it would be valuable to be able to quickly switch between different…

  12. Just in the last update the ability to use the fountain pen when drawing a shape or straight line has been taken out. (and only ball pen is allowed)

    This is really jarring because it means that suddenly you're drawing a line which is substantially thicker than the text you were writing.

    Also the shapes have lost that sweet, 'organic', 'hand drawn' quality that looked awesome before. The new shapes are sterile.

    Please undo the last update, it looks terrible!

  13. It would be great to have a better PDF navigator like PDF Expert does. The basic functions would be:
    - link support (also link within a document like the ones a LaTeX document produces.
    - double pages viewing.
    - possibility to show the table of content

  14. Whenever i type a text i usually have some words in bold. And if i then go ahead and change the size of the entire typed text all of it turns bold and then i need to figure out again which words i had bold and which weren‘t. That is really annoying.

  15. A way where one could zoom out of the pages, so you could see all of your pages in that file. Like in Word/Pages.

  16. Allow hiding Flash Cards from the overall view of the note. I like to read and take notes, and then I like to use Flash Cards for revision, but I don't want to see them when I am reading my note because they take too much space and mess with me trying to quickly navigate between the pages.

  17. Could we have a mode that defaults to simple shapes for the shape tool? My handwriting is terrible... but if I draw something that remotely looks like a rectangle, I want it to be a rectangle, not some other weird shape.

    So maybe only allow circles, squares, rectangles, triangles? Something along these lines...

  18. When I use the rotate button for a photo, it is difficult, if not impossible to avoid resizing the photo as well. I often overlay maps to show size comparisons with unfamiliar places to ones I am familiar with. I would also love the ability select marks and drawings and rotate them, again, without resizing. I could then trace items on a map like a lake, and rotate and move them other areas on the map to compare sizes

  19. i got updates recently // ver. 5.6.9 (799398.332495063)
    more shapes can be recognized and edited; that‘s cool
    but i find it harder to draw a vertical/horizontal line than before
    and the width of the line are ALWAYS uniform

    hope for any options in setting ui which could allow us to switch that
    please see the attachment below; i use GREEN word to express what i want
