  1. 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.

  2. I love everything about goodnotes EXCEPT that you are lacking this very basic feature. I am high functioning ASD (and the stereotypical sloppy handwriting) and have connective tissue disorders that make my hands hard to control on a regular basis. I thrive with visual data and organization and your app truly is THE BEST - but I always discontinue use of this app very quickly due to the absolute chicken scratch it turns my handwriting into. This is a very real accessibility issue that I am disappointed to see overlooked by a company of your size and acclaim.

  4. Please add a feature where you can attach a blank sheet (either the same size or slightly smaller) directly next to a downloaded document. I understand that you can open the same notebook in a different window, but it is not functional to have the notes go below the document (or in my case lecture PowerPoint). It is impossible to keep my written notes organized while writing on the same slide as my notes. It is confusing and distracting. Think like a Cornell note style template, where you have room to write notes as well

  5. 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…

  6. Text formatting

    • (Some) Markdown support -- including the extended syntax
      • TeX and LaTeX support (like $\TeX or \LaTeX$)
      • Inline code and code blocks -- I'm not expecting syntax highlighting due to security reasons
      • Links
      • Footnotes [^*]

    Styling initial paragraphs

    Most of the time, I style the first sentence of my document as Paragraph, not as Heading.

    With the current unresponsive UI when using on macOS, I have to click Style & Formatting and change the style every single time. It would be great if the app could let me set my styling preference for new documents.

  7. I think it would be a nice idea if I could create a color palette and then save it. Like, if I make a palette that's full of pastels and another that's darker colors, I could create a "pastel palette" and a "dark palette." That way, if I find myself preferring the dark palette for what I'm doing but pastels for another project, I could easily switch between the two without having to go through and change everything again.

  9. It's wonderful that there's now a ruler in GoodNotes. For math classes, it would be great if the grid paper aligned with it had a box width of 0.5 cm, and users wouldn't have to create this paper background themselves.

  10. Currently, changing the template only changes it for a single page, would be great if we could remove the template for all pages at once after finishing the notes.

    We may need a ruled, squared or dotted page while writing notes but while reading/sharing we would prefer it on a blank background.

  12. There are basically 3 pen thickness slots, eraser slots, and highlighter thickness slots, so I'd like to have additional thickness slots and eraser slots.

    1. Make the flashcards more like Anki, where it allows you to choose your own spaced repetition based on your ability to recall the cards. Instead of just having right for good and left for bad.
    2. Ability to turn notes into flashcards immediately like RemNote.
    3. Make a feature that shows all the data of how well a flashcard is recalled.

  13. Support Icelandic as recognition language so you can convert handwriting to text and write in Icelandic. It would also be great to be able to check the spelling when writing in Icelandic.

  15. This would allow you to align elements like text, images or stickers with greater ease instead of trying to 'eyeball it'. (Similar to how Canva or Adobe does this on their design interface) When an object is selected and you are moving it around the page, a line will appear alongside another element on the page, and the object will stick to that line when you move it close, indicating that it has snapped into the same position.

  16. It would be helpful so that we can create additional study sets easier as I have found excel is the best way to input info into study sets but without the ability to merge sets at this time.

  18. Be able to customize tools

    It should be possible to customize the individual tools like pen, back, forward, etc. like in Word, which means that you should place them differently within the toolbar.

    For students this is very important.
