  2. 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…

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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."

  6. 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.

  8. 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.

  11. 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!

  14. I'd love to pause the recording and resume without creating multiple recording files in my notebook. The functionality to edit recordings would be great as well.

  15. 目前功能非常鸡肋,无法移动,只能修改名字,和实际学习时候需要用的大纲完全不一样,应该把自定义大纲做到自由移动并且可以形成父子层级的大纲
    要不然这个功能“自定义大纲”真是一点用处都没有,假如你学到第20面,发现第10面忘了做大纲,那第10面的大纲就只能放到第20面后面,而不是可以自由移动到第10面,这个功能很简单,但是这么久都没实现,非常影响学习

  18. The study set is a very nice feature, but it is not fully functional yet. One of the requests regarding the study set is the ability to display cards in a tiled or list format. If pairs of cards were lined up on the left and right, as in the image, and could be shown and hidden with a tap, it would greatly increase the efficiency of learning.
