  1. Currently, you have to use the lasso tool to highlight handwritten text, then click convert, then several more prompts. In Nebo, you merely have to double click. A quicker option (such as a double click) would make the process quicker and simpler (can retain current process).

  2. Instead of having a limited number of colors on the color pallet and having to scroll to see all the colors.
    Have an option to only show top 5 colors with a drop down arrow beside it to see all other colors in our color pallet. That way, we can still see and have easy/ fast access to our stroke settings , as well as our pens colors instead of having to scroll back and forth.
    Just like how the hidden tools arrow is. A drop down like that for the color pallet

  4. One thing I would love to see, since text documents are now way better than before, is a better support for academic papers. It at least looks like it doesn't support a table of contents, sources and a few more. Microsoft Office is now no longer free here in Germany for new and old students due to the government's decision to no longer use Office and I believe this is now I big opportunity to help us. I guess this is also pretty cool for every other students ww to have everything in one place.

  7. Can you add a page continuity feature in your notes? Sometimes it can be very inconvenient to use your single page design. I hope you can add a page continuity feature in your page management, whether it's taking notes or viewing PDF files

  8. Currently, it’s not possible to write on both the question and answer sheets at the same time when the tablet is in vertical mode. This means I have to switch between them, by clicking the “Edit” button, which makes it hard to see and edit both simultaneously. If we could keep both sheets open and editable at the same time, it would be much easier to compare and modify them quickly.

  9. I play guitar and I want an autoplay feature for the flashcards. You see the term, I play the chord, and then it flips so I can see if the hand placement is correct. The flashcards already shuffle so I can practice the chords at random but this way I can practice hands free. It would also help those who want to hear phrases in the background for language learning if there was an audio function.

  10. I’d like to suggest a feature that would greatly improve the experience for users with an SPen:

    Could you please add an option to customize the SPen button action?

    For example, instead of always switching to the eraser tool, it would be very useful if we could assign the button to perform an Undo action.

    This would speed up the workflow and match how some other apps handle the SPen button.

    I believe many Samsung tablet users would appreciate this added flexibility.

    Thank you for considering this request and for your great work on

  12. Hi there!
    I’m a long-time GoodNotes user and I’d love to suggest a feature: the ability to embed PDFs or documents as tappable miniatures inside an existing page, not as new notebooks.

    This feature already exists in Apple’s Freeform app, and it’s incredibly useful for organizing study materials or combining notes with reference files.

    I believe many users would appreciate this option. Thanks for considering!

  13. 我更新完之后,画的形状,比如正方形,我点击它出现四个定位点之后必须要点 形状 功能才能用笔改变它的大小,之前明明只要笔点到定位点就可以直接调整了不用专门换到“形状”功能啊,这样很不方便麻烦改回去吧🥹

  14. It would be great if it were possible to change the spacing or the size of the lines, grid, etc., since the default one is very large and makes it hard to keep notes neat. This option would really improve the experience, as sometimes the default templates make the notes too big and uncomfortable to use.

  17. 1)Currently , when we review flashcards , we cannot zoom in/out . So this makes it difficult sometimes to view photos/ handwritten text because it appears very small.
    2) Instead of showing the answer by flipping the flashcard , make the answer appear on the same page so that we can see the question and the answer at the same time .
    3) If we want to add long answers to the flashcard , the space seems a bit less . so allow us to add multiple pages in a single flashcard .

  18. When importing PDFs:

    ✔ Allow users to choose “Add expandable writing margin”
    ➡️ Let us set how many cm to add on each side (top, bottom, left, right)
    ➡️ Let us select a background style (grid, lined, blank) for the expanded area
    ➡️ Optionally, allow us to choose whether the background layer appears above or below the imported PDF (this could be added later—no rush!)

    🔥 This would create a perfect page layout with the PDF on one side and structured space to take notes, do calculations, or annotate clearly.

    No more floating sticky notes or struggling with extra pages—just…

  19. I think it would be a great addition to include an option for automatic handwriting refinement, similar to the feature in Apple Notes. You can see how it works in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ciw74AVIUpY

  20. The options for organizing, editing, and adding elements/stickers are very limited and are missing several basic functions of any file organization system. When editing collections, I think it would make more sense to stay in the element overview UI, instead of popping out a smaller window with the same sticker inside. Options for editing should include a “select multiple” option, so that instead of each sticker having a circle button for quick deletion, you can select multiple first and then choose to mass delete, create new collection, move to new collection (which is not an option either), change the order…
