  2. It is an AI feature that converts typed text into handwritten notes, mimicking the user’s handwriting style. This would be activated when typed text is pasted into GoodNotes.
    - Advantage: This allows for seamless integration of digital and handwritten notes, enabling a more personalized and cohesive note-taking experience.

  3. When adding a link to a page in the existing document, the option to choose from outline and page number should appear instead of taking to the first page’s thumbnail of the document.

  5. I use a different app (speechify) to read off pdfs, etc to me. It works really well and helps me get through readings in in uni I would struggle with other wise. However, I much prefer to highlight my readings, etc as a doc in goodnotes. I think such a feature would be immensely helpful for college students in good notes.

  6. Hi! Sometimes I forget to stop the audio clip and it continues to record leaving me with so much wasted data space and unnecessary long clips that I can't edit or shorten. If we just had the feature to simply edit the audio clip, that would be AMAZING.

  8. I’d like for there to be a way to “tag” cards within individual study sets a variety of colors. For example, if I have cards related to biology, I can tag them “green” and cards related to math can be “red”. When I go to study all of my cards, I want to be able to customize how many of each “tag” I want in my study session. For example, maybe I want to have a study session that’s mostly Biology with some Math as well. I would customize that I want 15 “green” cards and 5 “red” cards in…

  9. Sometimes we users forget to stop the audio recording, and wake up the next day to a notebook that has been recording for 12+ hours. Currently there is no way to trim the audio recording. It would be great if it were possible to trim it so only the part we're interested in remains in the notebook :D

  10. Ability to adjust opacity of objects. Stickers, photos, etc.
    There are many reasons I switched to Zinnia but this is the biggest selling point. It’s so basic I can’t wrap my head around why it’s not in GoodNotes.

  11. It is vital for me to see the date of the creation of my page. Some pages are memories from trips. Some notes are memories from a special event on a work day  . I would love to be able to see the date and time, and there may be more details about the specific page. I was so surprised to find that you cannot :)

  14. Allow for selected items to be moved across pages for a better workflow.
    this saves time from not having to copy-paste items instead.

    basically making it so multiple pages can be treated as one:
    lasso two pages at once, move items across two pages, right on two pages with a single line, etc.

  18. We should be able to add multiple elements or stickers and make them the same size with a precision sizing tool. If I put down 3 memo pad stickers and I want all 3 to be the same size, there shouldn’t be a constant resizing from the corner sizer. We could click on the sticker or element and put in a font size or pixel dimensions.
    Or an option as we are placing it to choose the size. Either way something to keep stickers and other elements consistent in size from page to page and even on the same page…

  19. You can scan documents for the template, but not for the photo tool. I think adding this feature to the tool would be very helpful in many cases.

  20. Please improve the overflow text feature. Right now, if I add text to an existing page and it reaches the end, I have to add a new page for overflow each time. It should be possible to overflow to the next existing page automatically. Also, I do not see the overflow text until I add a page, so what I have written can easily be lost if I am not paying close attention. I have to backspace until the writing reappears, or add a new page- but not seeing a paragraph I have written is very stressful. It also breaks…
