  1. It would be great if something like a 2 page scrollling view could be added so that when we scroll through PDF version of our notes, especially exported slides, a better overview of the set of notes could be seen. This is in comparision to what we have now, where we scroll through the document page by page. Going through each set of notes might take quite some time when there are many pages in a document.

  2. Sometimes I want to copy an area of a pdf file. The current workflow ist:

    lasso it -> click screenshot -> click share button -> click copy -> paste.

    What about lasso -> copy [as image] -> paste?

    The current state is really annoying. In Notability, you can do that with one tap. That shouldn't be too hard to implement, since the screenshot feature is already implemented. After copying something, a pencil tap should instantly open the copy-paste menu instead of holding.

  3. It would be great if we could hide the menu bar while writing. Similarly to how it hides when the writing mode is off.

  4. The following improvements would be great :)
    - A display at the query when the flashcard will be queried again under the classification "Good" "Hard" "Easy" ( depending on the classified learning level for example: Hard= will be asked in two days, good= in four days)
    - Display how many flashcards are requested
    - Display how many flashcards have been queried
    - Display at the end how well the individual flashcards were answered

  5. It would be much faster to be able to duplicate handwritten notes (like in Notability) instead of having to copy and paste it every time.
    In my opinion, it would speed up the process of note taking!

  6. I use more than 3 colors in my notes, so I constant have to switch which ones are selected in the tool bar. I’d like to have at least 5 different colors available in the tool bar without having to click one and change it, then change it back once I need another color.

  7. I know you have a Flash card tool and spaced repetition but only inside of a document. It would be great to have a separate place where you have all your flash cards within the Goodnotes app and it tells you when to study what and you then go to the specific document

  8. A lot of the notes I download for school have diagrams with text labels that the search function doesn't find. An OCR program built into the search function would smooth this over and wouldn't be difficult.

  10. When the writing is too small or the pen thickness not thick enough, one can change the size of the writing separately of its thickness. Now it is only possible to select the whole area to make the ratio bigger or smaller, i.e. the whole word becomes bigger and thicker at the same time. It would be nice to be able to change size and thickness individually, e.g. bigger and same thickness or same size but thicker lines.

  13. As a mathematics student, I wish GoodNotes can implement a graphing function, because it is so difficult to draw a good sine wave.

  14. Please add the feature to solve maths stuff. your program can detect numbers, why not implement a calculator? work together with other brands. I dont really care just add the feature. to detect whether you want to solve something you could add a shortcut a a symbol you have to write first, like a = with another line maybe

  15. I have a really good idea and I would be very happy if it really came to fruition.
    Full Screen Mode - Most of the iPad's screen looks relatively small and you should utilize the entire screen for neat and optimized writing.
    In addition to this is another tool control button idea,
      Instead of changing the tool from pen to pen every moment and then to pen again and then to marker and then to pen and then to eraser and pen again to do just such a large frost float that it can be swapped quickly saves a…

  17. It will be great if we can customize different scrolling directions for different documents rather than the same for all documents. Since some documents may have a better view in vertical scrolling some may be more convenient in horizontal scrolling.

  18. GoodNotes can be used a a great meeting notes tool. It would be nice to see an integration with iOS calendar (similar to Onenote: add meeting details) and with Reminders (add a new task/reminder)

  19. Currently, the only way to have custom colours that are the same in text and drawing tools is to manually duplicate the hex code for each colour from the drawing tool palette to the text tool palette and vice versa. I do a lot of colour-coding in my notes, and use both text and writing; an option for a shared custom colour palette between text and drawing would be wonderful, and save a LOT of time.

  20. It would be nice to be able to get the possibility to sort the documents by date by default and not only get the documents organized by name when you star the app.
