  2. Allow saving my own favorites text box styles. Allow choosing a saved style from a list when creating a text box. Allow changing the style of an existing box to one of my favorites.

  3. The ability to save custom text box styles and easily access them (using the text style icon) so that they can be re-used rather than changing the default each time.

    It would be great to use when trying to type out different styles of notes such as for headers or key notes. Take for example creating agenda week headers using pretty fonts and fun colours vs text boxes to note key points during a lecture that must be done quickly and can easily be read. In this example, it would be valuable to be able to quickly switch between different…

  5. Right now we can only export a study set as a .goodnotes file. I want to be able to export it as a .pdf file.

  6. It would be really useful with a feature which gives the opportunity to quickly jump from one page number to another random page by typing in the page number.
    The feature is already built in, but it requires too many taps to go through the menu and find it.

    I often have large PDFs in court with thousands of pages, and need to be able to jump from e.g. page 37 to 1754 really quick without too many taps.

  7. The ability to select the number of flashcards to be shown during a session, that way you can slowly increase the number of cards you study each time. For example, I can choose to study 5, 10, or 20 cards out of 40 flashcards. Then once those are learned, I can add more by increasing the amount of cards.

  10. The shape tool is nice but needs some tweeking/bug fixes

    • shapes should a "first class citizen". Once drawn (or inserted) it should be able to resize, change colour and border thickness. Currently a drawn shape can be scaled and moved but never changed in any other way.
    • sometimes I just want a box but ends up drawing something that isn't 90 degrees in all four corners. I have to undo and redraw and it just kills momentum
    • when I erase hand written text inside a shape and then erase it, I also always erase the background fill.
    • connected arrows. I'd…

  11. The option to change the template on all the document or on the selected pages.

    IE: I change the template to Blank when the page is finished, it would be useful to be able to change multiple page's template at once.

  12. I’m trying to search for multi-word phrases in GoodNotes on my iPad and the search engine appears to be treating each word as an independent search term. Is it possible to search for the entire phrase?

    Example: Searching for “Looking for this phrase” is apparently translated to searching for “Looking” OR “for” OR “this” OR “phrase” instead of using AND’s or using the actual search text, perhaps in “ “‘s?

  14. I Loved the zoom Window in GoodNotes 4 because all the buttons were nereby. 3 Colours, Rubber, Undo, Redo even some Options. I need them back. Please.
    GoodNotes 5 is Great. The new handwriting to text is the best i have ever seen.

  16. Please add a type of "streamline" for each pen type that is adjustable so it would fit each individuals needs and wants.
    It would improve handwriting which would prevent me from spending so much time during note taking to go back and rewrite things and it would make the notes that I do write much easier to read. It would make notes more aesthetically pleasing and legible which would save time. It is an easy win win win situation.

  17. I would love an option for more smooth and streamlined handwriting like in procreate. I use GoodNotes mainly for handwriting and sometimes writing on an iPad can get a little wobbly

  18. The writing produced in goodnotes is too choppy and not as smooth as the writing produced in the Noteshelf app. Apart from how good your handwriting is, the resulting curves in each handwriting looks more realistic. Please improve the writings produced in GoodNotes so it results in smoother curves and handwriting.

  20. add something like google translate inside the app. Also, it will make the work easier for a student like me who speak Arabic and all his subjects in English, so translator will help me if I have any issue with the vocab a lot of apps like callnote have this feature and I’m sure that Goodnotes can do the same
