  2. I have one main issue that I encounter frequently when writing notes on my ipad. And thats when I run out of room to rest my palm when writing on the far right hand side of a page. My suggestion is to add the ability to scroll a bit past the page (say about a third) so that im able to properly write on the page without it auto aligning with the edge of the screen (I have included an example of what would be ideal). I personally use vertical scrolling and this idea would only work in this mode,…

  3. It would be great if the "Comment" allows handwritting in case the user prefers to have a better description of the "Comment" or else make references to equations and/or graphical elements without affecting the main document due to small margins or high density of information..

  5. As a piano teacher, I use GoodNotes for my student's lesson assignments and refer to other pages within that document (e.g. scale fingerings see pg. 7, chord voicings see pg. 11, etc). It would be nice if the pages could be accessed via a link to them without having to scroll through 12 pages; and then, if I add a page and page 7 becomes page 8, the link automatically updates to the pages new position within the document. This would be a game changer!

  7. I am creating study sets for each module, but it would be good to create a master set so that throughout my degree it is possible to revise the most important bits from each module in one set

  8. Reorganisation. In notebooks you’re able to move pages around after creating them. You can’t do this for cards which seems weird. Would also be nice to create the same outlines with this feature.

  9. 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.

  10. 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!

  11. in Read-only mode I would like to have the option to flip sides with TWO fingers only. So the sides would not move when using only one finger (same function as in „edit mode“)

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  16. Allow us to define Bookmark groups: folders/filters which hold pages bookmarked with certain labels.

    I press the bookmark button on a page, this marks the page into an "unsorted" or "default" bookmark folder. When I go to look at my bookmarks for this document, I can then sort them into "Reference", "Revisit", "Inspiring", ... and other folders to better sort my dozens of bookmarks for long documents.

    Bonus points if I can color code the bookmarks too!

  17. 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.

  18. Please add an ability to randomize the order of your cards like in practice mode.

    I just checked in practice mode and now i created many card for which it makes no sense to see them in the order they were created in.

    Thank You so much!

  19. 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.
