  2. I think it would be great if the zoom window toolbar could be customizable.

    For example, I frequently use the shapes tool so it would be convenient if I could move that tool down to the zoom window toolbar. Or for other users, they may want to move the highlighter tool down, etc etc. If the zoom window toolbar could be customizable, it could be made more efficient for each user’s needs.

    Also, I would like to be able to add more than 3 color presets to toolbar. This could be useful for people like me that need to quickly…

  5. I'd like to write smaller sized letters in the zoom box, it's more efficient and quicker, especially with a stylus. But if I do, the letters show up too small on the actual notebook page.

  8. I am currently trying goodnotes 6. I was excited about the math feature, however, when writing equations they seem to be consistently converted incorrectly. I understand that there is a process to improve handwriting recognition, and it can be especially difficult when it comes to complex equations, but I was disappointed to see that I could not edit the latex to correct the mistakes. This would be a simple implementation and could allow goodnotes to collect data in order to improve the conversion.

  10. Using study sets is great but it would be even better if you could browse your study set cards using the sidebar or page grid view that way you don't have to scroll back individually among the cards to make a edit to card 2 if the card deck has a lot of cards (i.e. 300+).

    Also being able to mark a card for editing in practice mode, or having an edit button within practice mode that brings you directly to that card to edit.

  11. As a web developer student, I would highly find it useful if goodnotes can format code to make it easier to read when code is typed or pasted.
    A functionality that works similar to google docs extension add on, named "Code Block" would be awesome!

  12. I’d like GN to make my handwritten notes smoother, as in the “brushes streamline” features of apps like Procreate.

  14. Now notability has the capability to type directly into the notes like a document, without a text box. This would be extremely useful to combine the two capabilities. Currently, the typing is the only reason I still use notability.

  15. A cross or small dot in the middle of (standard)shapes.

    It would be great to get an indicator for middlepoints of shapes - especially for circles.

  16. I would like to have the ability to add videos or GIFs to my pages. I imagine it to work like adding images. I would be an awesome addition to digital note taking.

  17. Automatic offloading of unused notes to iCloud. Similar to how Apple does for its apps, offloaded notes will remain visible as a thumbnail which will be downloaded locally when trying to open the note.

    This would help users with limited storage space to keep storage utilisation minimal.

  19. Changing the color to green or yellow, will make pdf reading more friendly to eyes.

    Many people using goodnotes to read pdfs will stare at the screen for a long time, but now the white color is a bit harsh and tire eyes.

    Another app PDF Expert is just well-known for its protecting yellow color. Hope goodnotes will add the function.

  20. There should be shortcuts for
    - document search
    - search all files
    - delete page
    - mark/unmark page
    - close current file
    - switch between edit and view mode
    - cmd + z / cmd + shift + z for undo and redo

    I think there can not be to many shortcuts, as they are invisible to everyone not using them. Add your ideas...
