  1. If I create a note using the squared paper, positioning text (in text boxes), export that as a flattened PDF, import it as a template and use it, the typed text area no longer correctly aligns.

    It's weird, it's not starting the typed text box in the same place on the template as it is on the squared paper template, and the text seems to have a larger size or more of a gap between lines as it starts to creep line by line down the page (see example below).
    Should be a (super-)quick fix?

  2. Allow users to zoom out further than the page size to quickly scroll through the content, and write on the edges of pages by centering the edge on the tablet.

  3. Instead of having the overflow text at the end of the pages, just automatically add a page, just like the Word app would do. Make the pages connected instead of divided.

  4. It’s extremely crucial for me to be able to make guides for documents (of course being able to have them visible or not anytime I need to). I can’t stand the fact that I can’t align, for example, stickers in a precise row or column.
    Using grid paper doesn’t help me at all, I want to have an option so that stickers, text boxes etc snap to guides made by me (I was hoping „ruler” feature will help with that, but alas, it didn’t).

    1. the biggest limitation with my flashcards at the moment is having to manually draw a box for image occlusion cards. then colour in the box myself with opaque ink. as there is not an auto fill function for shapes where you can adjust the transparency of the colour, or "tape" option i can use to cover parts of the image. it would be great to be able to build easy image occlusion cards by simply selecting the area i want occluded.

    2. more options on card type like true false, fill in the word ect.

    3. archive function. i'm now a year…

  5. Please give the option for users to group and ungroup items. "Send to back" and "Send to front" is not enough. For example, a user pastes an image with text. User highlights text on image. If the image is selected (even in error), the highlight is moved to back and no longer visible. I can select "Send to front" but it is no longer aligned with the text on the image.

  6. I am an Architect and often use Good Notes for plans with different scales.
    It would be good if you could adjust the scale of the ruler (1:50, 1:20, 1:25, 1:200, 1:500).

  8. If you use the rubber to delete stuff, the rubber should snap to the ruler.

  9. I love the new feature that highlights notes along with an audio recording, but I think it would be even more useful if it worked the opposite way as well. I mean if there was a way you could select your notes and have the audio jump to the section of the audio clip that corresponds to those notes. If this is not possible, maybe adding something that serves as a marker so that you can tell which audio clips correspond to which pages in your notebook.

  10. I have three requests.

    I would like to be able to sort folders and notebooks manually, instead of sorting by date, name, or type.

    Also, when I write slowly with a highlighter, the lines are automatically evened out.
    I would like to be able to turn that on and off in the settings.

    Also, when duplicating notes and combining them into one, I would like to be able to select and move them all at once, instead of moving them one at a time!

  12. So every time I've to choose a different notebook from a different document I'm being forced to exit my current notebook and go to documents and find my new notebook which makes the accessibility hard.
    In such case as we can see below OneNote by Microsoft has made it easier.
    As far as I know, this could be the only thing that Goodnotes lacks as of now.

  13. Could we have the same typing feature on windows that we have on Mac/iPad?
    Currently when I type in a notebook I have to use a text box and text does not snap to the lines on my page (on windows) like it does on Mac or iPad.

    This would truly revolutionise Goodnotes for a lot of windows users.

  14. Unter der Funktion Tastatur können durch Tabulatoren verschiedene Aufzählungszeichen je nach Ebene benutzt werden. Es wäre schön, wenn diese Funktion auch in den Textfeldern verfügbar wäre.

  15. Wenn zum Schreiben bzw. Tippen in GoodNotes die Textfelder verwendet werden ist es möglich, zwischen verschiedenen Schriftarten zu wählen. Verwendet man hingegen die Funktion Tastatur, ist dies nicht möglich. Es wäre schön, auch hier verschiedene Schriftarten zur Verfügung zu haben.

  16. When going into "Practice" mode I'd like the ability to change the orientation of the cards. I want to be able for it to show me the answer first and then the queston. like how you can if you had "real flash cards" and just studying from the other side.

  17. I love using the study sets to learn for my exams, but sometimes, especially in longer answers it would be nice to highlight certain words within the answer. Generally the study set option is lacking some features like markers, different color options for the text, a better way to edit a card while learning and also making groups so certain cards will be more likely to be asked together, instead of "random" when learning in the smart card setting.

  18. While I enjoy writing with my Apple Pencil, I often use the writing tool and have encountered several frustrating issues:

    Text Alignment Issues: Copying text from a website or Word does not align properly in GN, requiring manual adjustments to font and spacing.
    Text Formatting Bug: When a page is nearly full, adding more text sometimes causes existing text to distort, merging words unexpectedly.
    Limited Formatting Options: It would be helpful to have more features, such as Greek letters, mathematical symbols, and the ability to add square roots.

  19. Would be so useful if I could sort the tabs in the navigation bar by recently edited or recently viewed and not by when it was first opened.

    Having it locked to sort for when the page was first opened make the tab bar on the top completely useless. I would rather go to home, and find the page, then scroll aimlessly through 25 tabs to find a note I had edited moments ago.
