  1. I really often change strokes depending on the situation.

  2. A two-way sync would allow me to synchronize the data over multiple devices.
    This means that a backup on Nextcloud can be restored without the need to import each document separately.

    Additionally, it allows the user to share documents with others and sync any changes made to the document.

    This would a huge productivity boost for
    - students in Germany
    - enterprise users

  3. Hi! The tape feature is such an incredible tool to help learning. I use it a lot to cover long answers in the exercises. Sometimes there are large areas to cover with tape and have to 'paint' it all. It would be interesting to have in this feature the possibility of drawing tape shapes, like squares and circles that I can resize.

  4. Could we have the same typing feature on windows that we have on Mac/iPad?
    Currently when I type in a notebook I have to use a text box and text does not snap to the lines on my page (on windows) like it does on Mac or iPad.

    This would truly revolutionise Goodnotes for a lot of windows users.

  6. Make it possible for the app to recognise a rhombus shape and enhance shape recognition in general. Sometimes when I make small circles it detects them as ovals or worse as squares. For my use case this problem is a huuge limitation.

  7. Unter der Funktion Tastatur können durch Tabulatoren verschiedene Aufzählungszeichen je nach Ebene benutzt werden. Es wäre schön, wenn diese Funktion auch in den Textfeldern verfügbar wäre.

  8. Wenn zum Schreiben bzw. Tippen in GoodNotes die Textfelder verwendet werden ist es möglich, zwischen verschiedenen Schriftarten zu wählen. Verwendet man hingegen die Funktion Tastatur, ist dies nicht möglich. Es wäre schön, auch hier verschiedene Schriftarten zur Verfügung zu haben.

  9. When going into "Practice" mode I'd like the ability to change the orientation of the cards. I want to be able for it to show me the answer first and then the queston. like how you can if you had "real flash cards" and just studying from the other side.

  10. Allow the pen thickness adjustment have plus or minus options with/without slider
    Everytime it's annoying to adjust the slider for 0.05mm thickness with accuracy. It's time consuming to adjust stroke with careful slight movement.

  11. I love using the study sets to learn for my exams, but sometimes, especially in longer answers it would be nice to highlight certain words within the answer. Generally the study set option is lacking some features like markers, different color options for the text, a better way to edit a card while learning and also making groups so certain cards will be more likely to be asked together, instead of "random" when learning in the smart card setting.

  13. While I enjoy writing with my Apple Pencil, I often use the writing tool and have encountered several frustrating issues:

    Text Alignment Issues: Copying text from a website or Word does not align properly in GN, requiring manual adjustments to font and spacing.
    Text Formatting Bug: When a page is nearly full, adding more text sometimes causes existing text to distort, merging words unexpectedly.
    Limited Formatting Options: It would be helpful to have more features, such as Greek letters, mathematical symbols, and the ability to add square roots.

  15. My most used goodnotes notebooks are drastically different page sizes. I often have to switch the font continuously or duplicate an existing text box in the destination notebook in order to have the proper sized font.

  16. Would be so useful if I could sort the tabs in the navigation bar by recently edited or recently viewed and not by when it was first opened.

    Having it locked to sort for when the page was first opened make the tab bar on the top completely useless. I would rather go to home, and find the page, then scroll aimlessly through 25 tabs to find a note I had edited moments ago.

  17. When you select text, either with your finger or your tablet pen, along with the options, like “define”, “highlight”, “strikethrough” you would also have “tape” which would put tape over all of your selected text.
    Example is shown below.

  18. It would be fantastic if the laser pointer could also be used to hide and unhide the tape in my notes!

    I suggest this because during my exam revision I use the laser pointer tool to quickly write the answer to what the tape is concealing. I then have to switch tool to the tape tool to uncover the tape and check my answer.

    Why not have the laser pointer tool hide and unhide the tape in my notes?

  19. It used to work like this, but now it is not. When I present something in AirPlay and want to search something in the Goodnotes file manager, I would like to see that the file manager is hidden and not presented on the screen.
