  5. As a pyhsics student I quite often have to write integral and sum signs and in fact I love the function on the iPad that you can hold down the pen after drawing a shape and it draws it nicely for you. Maybe you could integrate some more shapes such as the ones mentiones above :)

  7. I'm usually working with different formats (A4, A5, GN Standard etc.) when creating notes. It always depends on the pdf I'm currently working in, because of their different slide sizes.

    A little icon or indicator in the "add a new page" menu for each last used template (A4, A5 etc.) would make it much more comfortable selecting the right template.

  10. Add a button allowing the users to turn off the shortcut of drag to duplicate the text box function. As most of the time I want to drag the text box elsewhere, but it keeps duplicating. It can be resolved by tapping on the text box instead of holding it if you are typing with the keyboard on the screen. But if you are connected to a hardware keyboard, trackpad or mouse, it will long hold automatically instead of tapping when trying to move the text box.

    It would be more convenient to keep my hands on the keyboard to…

  14. I’m learning a tonal language and would love to be able to create separate recordings for my notes. One Note has audio recording ability, but it’s ONE single clip. I’d like to be able to write a word or phrase and put a sound clip associated with it.

    A wolf sounds like :
    A coyote sounds like:

    Just make this feature already = I see request for recording that is 9 years old ....you’re so close to a perfect product

  15. I love the auto-backup feature. However, I find it annoying that it doesn't upload my custom headings. If I want to do so, I shall upload every pdf manually.

  16. Hello,
    In my opinion the UI needs a refresh, it takes too much space on the screen when taking notes, we should have the option to hides things we don't use, thus clearing the menu bar for things we actually need, for example If I use a pen and marker only, I do not need to see the magnifier, shapes, text,laser icons, and also we need more than 3 pen\marker sizes & colors. to up the productivity for people who have to take fast notes (engineering), and want to save time with 1 quick click do it rather than do…

  17. When the writing is too small or the pen thickness not thick enough, one can change the size of the writing separately of its thickness. Now it is only possible to select the whole area to make the ratio bigger or smaller, i.e. the whole word becomes bigger and thicker at the same time. It would be nice to be able to change size and thickness individually, e.g. bigger and same thickness or same size but thicker lines.

  18. Some of the pdf’s I import have very small margins that do not allow me to write notes on. It would be fantastic if there was a feature that acted as sticky notes like in Apple’s feature in the Books app or how Google docs allow you to add comments.

  20. It would be great to sync saved custom colours so that we won't need to make it again after reinstalling app or after installing it on multiple devices.
