  2. Make us have the option to add 10 different pen colors and 10 different highlighters in the toolbar.

    Also, make the page go longer to make more space (continuous)

  6. It would be very helpful for a lot of people with bad handwritings if the handwriting to text feature is improved further as a input mean with the support for input on another same as handwritten notes are input now.

  8. Include a landscape version of the A6/A5 paper templates for use in flashcard/jotter style note taking. At the moment there isn't even plain landscape A6/A5

  9. As automatic backup or icloud sync copy directly of the modification into the backup, it could be useful to have a backup option to allow different backups in time. So that if an error is made (file deletion, bad document modifications), it can be possible ot restore from an old backup.

    Ideally like timemachine for apple or more basically different backups with the delta of modification.

    Thank you for your great job!

  10. The best way to describe this is like the feature in Notability. You have the option to use scribble which automatically converts your handwriting your text or you can draw in your text box. I’d like to see both these options available since the current text box is really small and difficult to adjust once you have it in place.

  11. So the idea
    Is if you a pdf
    With an image
    You have a the new
    Flash card tool option
    You can select a text
    To make it a close or flash card
    Or an image to occlude it
    Now once that is done

    Just double tap the icon on tool bar to enter into flash card mode

    Once you revised your answer

    Move on to another topic

    I have loads of idea
    And would love to work on your team

    I am a surgeon from India
    I don’t need money or anything of sorts just collaborate and some shoutouts

  12. Sehr sinnvoll wäre für mich, wenn ich ein Kamera-Fenster aufziehen könnte, in dem das Kamera-Livebild gezeigt wird. Sehr sinnvoll in der Schule, wenn etwas demonstriert werden soll und gleichzeitig wichtige Inhalte zu sehen sein sollen.

  13. i got updates recently // ver. 5.6.9 (799398.332495063)
    more shapes can be recognized and edited; that‘s cool
    but i find it harder to draw a vertical/horizontal line than before
    and the width of the line are ALWAYS uniform

    hope for any options in setting ui which could allow us to switch that
    please see the attachment below; i use GREEN word to express what i want

  16. When displaying a pdf/powerpoint in class, "next page" and "previous page" buttons are missing.
    For example, when using overlays on successive pages, it's better if there is a clear change instead of a unprecise swipping.

  17. When I scan a multi-page document through GoodNotes or import a scanned document, the saved quality is not sufficient, so that - in contrast to Notify - not all text passages are found when searching.

    This is clear if you look at the file sizes between Notify and GoodNotes during the backup.
