  1. I'd like it to be easier to create curved lines. For example I'd like to be able to make a rectangle with rounded corners.

  2. When editing flashcards on my mac, once I'm done, I am no longer able to swipe through the cards, I have to exit and go back in to begin swiping through them again.

    Also please add the ability to star/bookmark certain flashcards and study the "starred" set. Thanks!

  3. I've seen your attempt to convert handwriting to equations and I love this idea. A word from a STEM student. Please leave an option to edit output manually using .tex. I will even pay additionally for such an option. Besides, it can improve your ML models, as most of the people that would use that, would probably be professionals which would make error detection far better.

  4. I cannot re-arrange the order of my study set. If i want to add a subsequent new card to a topic on e.g flashcard no.42, I need to delete every flashcard after no.42 to add that new relevant card. This wouldn't be an issue if the feature to re-arrange the cards existed.

  5. I noticed how smooth the laser pointer writes so a suggestion is make another pen style that writes the same way as the laser pointer writes, while keeping the pressure sensitive too.

  6. I do not have the slightest idea how to delete comments out of the Windows beta. I click on the comment I made and it does not have a menu to delete the comment. I cannot delete the comment as well with the eraser tool. Right-clicking also does not work on the comment bubble to delete it. Please advise or add fix or workaround.

  7. Right now yellow paper, as far as I know, is the only one that has a red margin. It's called legal paper. The other paper colours do not have this. Also make it so there two variants, a wide margin and a narrow margin.

  9. I use my iPad in portrait mode, and it bothers me a bit that I have to slide to choose another color, I don't have the need to use some tools, for example, the laser or stickers, I would like to be able to remove and add tools from the toolbar depends on your needs so that there is a little more space in the toolbar and not have to scroll to find the color I want

  10. I often used the quick select for changing the line thickness. I enjoy the new UI and want to keep it. As an improvement, we should be able to swipe up or down on the line thickness symbol in order to change the thickness. This allows us to keep the creative UI element while also removing clunkyness of having to dig through a menu for a quick feature and adding an intuitive way to change the line thickness as the thicknesses are already highlighted when changed.

  11. I would like to be able to share flash cards with my other devices by using iCloud.
    It helps me to study them on my phone whenever I want.

  12. Return the one touch thickness presets.

    I appreciate the new update, which enables me to add more than three colors options, but it has removed the quick selection function for changing the line thickness. I often change the line thickness and the updated version of GoodNotes turns this into a three-step process where the previous version This was just a one quick tap.

  15. I would really appreciate to have styles for text like in Word to save text formats (that's something I really miss in Goodnotes for IOS).

  17. The topic says it all really …

    Currently the app preferences captures a setting for your language, with respect to handwriting recognition.

    My suggestion is to extend that data point to also apply to the default language used when creating a new “Study Set” of flash cards.

    The need to change this every time seems a failing on the part of the design…

  18. Just happened to compare my writing on goodnotes & notability, goodnotes seems to have lag with my writing whereas notability is super smooth with an unnoticeable lag. Kindly look up to resolve as goodnotes is my favourite.

  19. GoodNotes for Mac used to be great before they switched to Catalyst. These problems have persisted for years and keeps getting worse.

    Problems:
    - Can't print notes with images - None of the images actually print out, just blank space. This sucks when you make your notes in GoodNotes and want to print them out to prepare for lecture.

    • Can't drag-and-drop images anymore. No pasting from a Word document, or cut/paste from Preview.

    • Importing an image comes in with weird sizing

    • Crop tool is missing when right clicking on images and it depends on the type of image format

    • Drag-and-Drop…

  20. Detatch the color palette for markers and pens so you can change colors quickly and move wherever you want. The palette could be moved freely and displayed vertically or horizontally. The background could be translucent but the colors in the palette could be shown correctly (rn Night mode shows highlighters colors in a weird way)
