  3. 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.

  5. Add a justified text option. The centralized and the right/left are not the best ones to organize the text and leaves gaps. It's simple, easy and very experience-changer.

  7. Please create an auto-generated table of contents template, that can also be edited. This should include an option to sort by date, through your outline, or topics.

    Someone else said "Allow me to select the text, eg my page heading like (meeting to discuss projected financial) and then click on a button which shoots the page heading to an automatically generated table of contents in the front of the Notebook. Table of contents will be built using all the specified headings, and should also display the date of that entry for easy reference." THIS IS GREAT AND SO HELPFUL.

  9. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. It would be helpful to group open notes like they're tabs.

    This would be helpful as I could still have my frequently visited notes open on the Goodnotes app, but they wouldn't be taking up a lot of space at the top of the app (and I wouldn't have to reopen the same note multiple times a day). I would be able to find and organize my notes easier and it would look nicer.

    I have attached screenshots of what this tab grouping looks like on Chrome as an example of what it could look like on Goodnotes.

  14. Many of us use Goodnotes to take notes but are also using to do apps/task management apps (e.g. Todoist, SkedPal) to keep track of our work. We used to be able to take handwritten notes, convert to text, and then run a shortcut that would push it out to todoist; however, that seems to be broken. Any foothold you can provide that would allow for easy integration to a task management app would be amazing - I’d be able to quickly move my todos out of my notes and into my task list and I’d be so productive (…granted I’d…

  15. 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.

  17. Don't want to be limited to the use of typing text with the keyboard. I want an Ai that I can use in my pdfs to understand or look for explanations or in-depth information on what is written

  18. At the moment, the type on a full page option only has one default font; Helvetica. It would be extremely useful to have the option to change to multiple fonts and text colors.
