  4. Please allow custom colour palettes for text. AND the ability to have mixed colours in a single text block. At the moment if you change the colour of part of a text block, the UI changes the WHOLE block.

  6. I do a lot of practice problems and it is a little annoying to force scroll up to add a new page while other apps automatically add up a new page as I'm approaching the end of my current page.
    So I would love if there was an option to eliminate the gap between pages so that it looks like an infinite and unbroken canvas while pages are being added automatically as soon as the app senses that I'm approaching the end of my current page.

  8. Please allow a setting to save custom colour choices for every time use. I like I have to change the colour palate options everytime to my needed colours before I can write a new note. I mean there should be an option to create on colour palate and save it for later use and not just the default you have provided.

  9. Now, one has to go all the way to the left to bring out the page finder, choose one out of the small preview hoping I got the right one, because if not I’ll have to bring out the finder again and repeat until I find the page. This is incredibly unintuitive and time-consuming. Please move the page finder button to the right and allow preview on the sidebar with the selected page in the main window to allow easy page finding. Notability already does that. My preferred app is GoodNotes, so fingers crossed this will be updated soon.

  10. Sorry for the long title; I love the flashcard feature and use it every day in medical school and I am being able to study extremely effectively and learn the material while still having free time in my life.

    But If I could select certain flashcards within a single document by marking them with a certain signal to allowing me to study the flashcards I made for the first lecture before I study the next classes flashcards which build off the first lectures material. And even allowing me to mark certain flashcards "VIP" cards that amalgamate from all the notebook's…

  11. After years of use and many tens of gigbytes of content, my ipad is full from goodnotes content. I dont want to delete older notes because I occasionally refer to them. I request allowing us to selectively sync some content to our devices and allow older content to be stored in the cloud and downloaded when needed directly within the app.

  12. Currently the only way to favourite a document is from the file browser. It would be very handy to be able to favourite from within an already open document.

    Also the star/favourite button on thumbnails is not present in search results.

  13. I love GoodNotes but the most tedious thing I dislike about the program is my handwriting. It would be amazing if the text box could be configured for a general use so you can write how you would with the pen but it converts to a preinstalled font. I have so much trouble with the text box adjusting them to the side, trying to go to the next line without using the keyboard, moving the text box.

  14. The laser pointer has a very cool design to it. I would love if they could make the design of how it looks into a pen so you could write notes using that design

  15. It would be great if you could design your own font (create every single letter by yourself), and then have your fast (bad looking) handwriting converted into your carefully designed letters. That way it would guarantee beautiful handwriting even tough you are in a hurry.

  16. Give us a Hex selector tool that we can use to select a color from a portion of a pre-created notebook to match the theme of the notebook. Right now we have to use an external Hex color selector and upload a picture to that program and then go back to Goodnotes to input that Hex code to get the color. Also, give us the option to create palettes that we can quickly select back and forth between colors that we have curated.

  17. currently, there are only three colors appear and if we want to change to a different color we would have to click the option menu to change the color. I think it would be better to add 2 more colors,

  19. A similar idea has been posted, but I want to make another point. Given you’re current framework where each page is a separate file, it should be relatively simple to add a way (probably the Share drawer icon) to copy that page file address link and paste it in other apps where if i click the link it would open GoodNotes up and show me that page.

    Bonus points if this link could be SHARED to other GoodNotes users (who do not even have the file) and it could open up that page on THEIR Mac/iPad/iPhone etc. This would be…

  20. Using elements is fantastic, however, I would like to be able to crop from the lasso tool. Right now, if I place a calendar block and need to change the size, I have to select element, which then auto-selects the lasso tool. To crop an element, I then have to select the image, which brings up the image selector on the page, then click off of that, and then select crop. It adds so many extra steps. Why not just have the crop option from the lasso tool? It would save so many steps!
