  1. Gives us some space to write down our answer when using flash card. I think the ability to write the idea down instead of just thinking about the question helps memorizing a lot. We can also compare it to the answer afterward.

  4. It takes way too much time to copy/paste items today. I would like to recommend a copy/paste buttons on toolbar and at the same moment to make the toolbar customisable.

  6. If you've ever used procreate, you know what I'm referring to.

    The zoom out / zoom in is an annoying aspect (I'm an avid Goodnotes user so I mean this without malicious intent) when trying to focus on a specific area of the page to write notes on. Let's say for example I am focusing on a diagram I'm drawing and want to zoom out on that specific area to only see my diagram and focus on that area, it's not possible; when zooming out, the whole page is zoomed out. I would love to have zoom in/ out that…

  7. It would be super helpful to be able to tag files/folders by color. Sometimes I have a bunch of folders (or files) but I mainly use a few of them. It would be helpful to be able to add highlights/colors to these to find them easier. Similar to in Finder in macs (see screenshot)

  8. IOS Sharing direct to Goodnotes irregardless of what the source application is. Currently Evernote and OneNote appear to be able to receive just about any share from any application on MacOs and IOS. Screenshot attached of a sample of what they are able to do. I also have a screen shot of how I can send an application to either Evernote or OneNote. Being able to share an output directly from an app into Goodnotes removes a 1 or 2 step necessity that would require a user to transform the output into pdf and then go into Goodnotes and import…

  9. Don't want to have to scroll all the way to a font I used somewhere else. A "recently used" section would be very helpful.

  10. When we watch pdf, especially textbook or something we need to write many notes on GoodNotes, it doesn’t have enough spaces to make notes on that. So Hopefully we could use something like real ‘sticky notes’ which allow us to ‘stick’ our notes on pdf. When we click it, it maximum and shows like a real sticky notes, click again to minimize it to save space.

  11. E.g Automatically switch black to white pen color when opening a black (template) document
    Or have a different pen color palette for black template document (instead of a global constant)

  12. I write with lined paper, but would like to remove the lines afterwards. It's just not feasible to do this at present, having to change the template of every page one by one.

  14. I would love to see the ability to save custom colors for fonts. I love the fact I can personalize the colors for pens but my handwriting is messy and I like to type certain things when making note pages.

  15. Currently there is no way to write in a straight line using unlined paper in Goodnotes. A line guide built into the Zoom box would do the job nicely. This way you would be able to write straight on unlined or blank paper and never worry about your handwriting getting too big or too small as you write on blank paper. A line guide would allow you to safely write neatly in a straight line on blank pages.

  17. Ability to add a background color to a text box, so that it looks like a post-it note. Then, I could easily sort my ideas by color and get a high level snapshot. Thanks!

  18. Add the option to persist a sidebar with thumbnail previews of the entire document for quicker skimming and bookmarking. Similar to what Preview on Mac has, as well as Notability 5 for iPad. This makes it easier to quickly go through a document to find a specific page, and bookmark specific pages. The current process for finding a specific page opens up an overlay that covers the entire screen and removes me from my current context, which is really cumbersome.
