  2. Having the ability to choose preferred eraser size just like how we can change the pen size. Sometimes the larger eraser is too large and sometimes the small eraser is large when erasing small details.

  3. Please bring back the ability to automatically bring up the share to option when sharing a link/collaborating. It makes me do extra steps now to take the link copied and go place it somewhere to send it that way

  5. It could be useful to drag a part of text from a page to another one without having to cut and paste every time. It would make the note-taking faster.

  6. In my opinion, it would be great to have the option of exporting folders with all subfolders and the associated PDFs together. Currently it is very tedious to export folders of completed projects from Goodnotes. In my case, the projects don't get any smaller and so it takes longer and longer to prepare all the files for the backup. I think this function would be very useful.

  7. I use the note-paper layout with lines and the side part on the left for punching. I like this layout because I am using handwriting and typewriting in one document. I would love to have this layout with squares and with a right and left side. So when I am printing double sided, the side part is always where the punching is.

  8. Maybe you can do an newer modern design for the Toolbar because it looks a little bit old. Maybe you can do a smaller minimalistic design because the Toolbar is a bit big and it take much space so if you do the Toolbar a bit smaller or minimalistic you can use more space to write.

  11. I want to use my note as a one session study. I mean I have mathematical equations to solve but I don’t want to copy paste them to another page or deleting my original solutions. So I want to study mode as when I press to that mode I can do whatever I want then when my studying session is over it can reverse everything I do.

  15. I think renaming a recording file can help us find the audio corresponding to a certain part of a document faster and more accurately, and the retrieval point of the recording file can greatly avoid the loss of important audio files due to accidental touching.

  16. This one is simple! Please add a feature to zoom out of a page or powerpoint slide so that we can view one slide in a smaller frame than the screen size is. I don't like how the slide automatically fits the page without being able to zoom out a little to give space to edges/corners.

  17. Using study sets is great but it would be even better if you could browse your study set cards using the sidebar or page grid view that way you don't have to scroll back individually among the cards to make a edit to card 2 if the card deck has a lot of cards (i.e. 300+).

    Also being able to mark a card for editing in practice mode, or having an edit button within practice mode that brings you directly to that card to edit.

  18. I noticed that the device gets really hot when I use Goodnots. I let a diagnositcs tool run and confirmed it.

    The device does not heat up when i use other Apps or watch videos and the brightness is around 30%.

    I would appreciate if this could be fixed.

  19. For handwritten notes, there's nothing better. But at the moment, the app is geared too heavily towards the iPad, rather than cross-platform.

    I picked up my phone to type a quite to-do list this morning, (to keep everything in one place, rather than using the Apple Notes app), and the text was tiny. Creating a bulleted list was more difficult than it should've been. There was no option to properly format a bullet point list/add indents. And no checklist feature, to add tickable to-dos when you're using a keyboard (rather than an Apple pencil).

    Cross-compatibility for this kind of thing…
