  1. I would love to have the ability to change the spacing of the grids for the 'Square Paper' template and also set a default grid spacing size for all the different paper options for both portrait and landscape just like Notability does. So it doesn't matter which paper size you choose to have if it is either A3, A4 or A5 etc, the gird spacing size will stay the same.

  2. I like the new feature where the outlines can be viewed in a side bar alongside the document. However I really wish I could have it that the outline title can wrap and go onto multiple lines instead of being cut off with ‘…’. Even though it would mean I have to scroll more to see all the outlines, I’d find it very useful to be able to read the full title I gave each page.

  3. Hover seems to break handwriting in Goodnotes with Apple Pencil. My handwriting looks noticeably worse with hover enabled, it's as if there are tails coming out of my handwriting even after the pencil has been lifted off the screen. Other apps seem to have overcome this problem. Please fix this as this is a dealbreaker for an otherwise solid app.

  4. I take notes with diff colour and diff size of pen so every time,I have to select size and colour if you provide more than one pen feature then it is easy to choose pen which is customised on my preference of size and colour. After that i have to choose only pen instead of choosing size and colour every time like notability. Please add that feature.

  5. A button to configure a specific card to be reviewed with both the question first, or the answer, helping us to study cards in both directions, as already used in some flash card apps.

    Would also be ideal to be able to use the tape on the flash card questions, if tape is implemented.

  6. When I need to adjust the size, the sticker is brought to the front over the text. Also, I’m surprised I need to day this but GoodNotes still doesn’t have an infinite canvas. Another thing that FreeForm has is how it’ll post a preview of the website when you add a Hyperlink. And this app is FREE. It even has more pen types to play with.

    The only reason I still use GoodNotes is because of its Export. Just do what FreeForm can do. Also, a useful tip: If you need Infinite Canvis, just double the page size from A3…

  8. I would love to be able to use the lasso tool to select a handwritten word in a notebook and have that take me to a particular section in my notes. I know you can link to a certain page, but from my knowledge the link must be typed and I would like to be able to be able to link to a section of the screen. This could maybe be done by zooming into a certain section that you want to link to and having a button up the top allowing you to save that position in the screen…

  9. Currently you have to long press a link, then choose open link from a menu. This is very time consuming, especially if you are using a daily planner template. yes, you can put the app into "view mode" then it will work in single tap. but that is also time consuming. Please give us the open to single tap in the edit mode. You may be saying "but a single tap will appear as though it's the user trying to write with the pen tool". Well, you could do a little gesture recognition and determine if it's a finger or…

  10. I want to backup my notebooks periodically to my encrypted drive service proton drive however the automatic backup feature only supports a select few services. I know supporting new services can be difficult so I noticed that my iPad has a folder that my proton drive app already automatically syncs to my cloud. If you could backup periodically to this folder on my iPad it would work universally.

  11. I love the ruler, however, why is the inch version set to 1/10 of an inch increments? This makes zero sense. It's a metric ruler with an inch baseline and is of ZERO value. I use this feature to get rough square footage calculations from architectural drawings and although it works ok - if you are claiming to have a ruler, please have a "ruler."

  12. Your app's seamless integration of voice recordings and ball pen scribblings is impressive. Adding laser brush pointer integration to recordings would further enhance presentations, making them more dynamic. So that we can replay the recorder and see the laser brush pointer run along with the pre written text & the voice recording.

  13. Add the option to have no language selected for text recognition so you won't get the red dots under your handwriting in your own language

  14. there are a few features that exist on the IOS Application that is missing on the WIndows/WEB Application. for example I am missing the ability to fill in forms and drawings that I made. also, the ability to have several documents open in the same app. I can also not erase notes just by scribbling over them, which might be a problem for Lenovo and also there are just way more possibilities to customize the Pen on the Tablet App.

  17. It would be great to be able to have the opportunity to add indices and exponents to our words/letters/numbers!
    I have a bachelor's degree in biology and it would be very practical for mathematical formulas!

  20. Search functionality

    Study-set page copying functionality, so that I can paste it into different sets of study sets for practising random questions from different topics holistically.

    Table insertion using an apple pen to either draw a table or delete a table.

    Ability to switch between handwriting, typed text and inserting photos, without erasing a study set content.

    Multiple-order bullet points functionality that is computer keyboard friendly.

    I prefer to study from a study set, rather than a flashcard template, because it presents the learning material in fairly large size when I study from my iPad screen (usually) or my computer…
