  1. Please integrate the ios18 new notes app feature. The smart script will make me it faster and easier to write. It edits the users handwriting allowing to make it easier to read or add more and other things. Smart Script also maintains the look and feel of a user’s personal handwriting, automatically refining it in real time to be smoother, straighter, and more legible. Please I beg for this feature!!!

  3. I often use a combination of writing utensils and text boxes while taking notes, and it would be nice if there was a way to save more color presets for text. It would save some time while switching between writing and text if I could save the same additional color presets for both. A way to the transfer color presets of one utensil to the other utensils/tools would also be beneficial.

  4. Are there plans to support the new iPad Pencil "Hover" feature in GoodNotes soon? This feature provides awareness of where the pencil will start writing or drawing before the pencil is on the iPad screen. This helps with both drawing and writing accuracy.

  6. I love the flashcard feature. But the flashcard display has got to be bigger: full screen. I put my maths theorems on flashcards and the text gets quite small.

    I need to be able to zoom in, and treat them like a normal page while I'm doing the flashcards.

    Also, it would be great to have space to write out your attempt at the flashcard before you reveal the answer. At the minute I have to open a document in a new tab.

  7. A great option would be if the Auto Backup could also backup to a NAS, NextCloud, Mega, OwnCloud, Samba File Share (Network Share) etc.

  8. It would be really helpfull and way easier to be able to import colors for pens and highlighters instead having to type in every hex code! An eye dropper tool would be really nice too so that you can easily change colours :)

  9. It would be great if the user can decide where the toolbar located (Left, right, or Top)
    Like other painting software, I can use left hand to switch between tools without moving my wrist

  10. I love using the existing outline in PDFs, but it's tough work to create one if it isn't already implemented. A great feature would be the possiblity to choose the option "set as outline title" for marked text to quickly greate an outline for a document.

  11. I would love to have the possibility to hide or resize sticky notes very small when tapping on them. On á second tap the sticky notes then could get big again.

  12. I want to simply scan parts of a document as a picture, to insert into the middle of my written note instead of as a new page.

  13. Currently resizing an image proportionally resizes from the centre. Often when trying to resize an image to the same size as an existing one it is convenient to line up from the corners, but as the resize feature stretches the image from the centre it becomes inaccurate and difficult to guess the relative size of images

  14. Viewing 2 pages and be able to edit both on the same page on an iPad. Like how you can view a pdf in acrobat but in a way on good notes so you can edit them both.

  15. Currently if we choose vertical or horizontal scrolling it applies to all the documents, it would be good if we can choose to apply it to all documents or just the current document. For eg, I prefer vertical scrolling for my worksheets/slides from school and horizontal scrolling for my own notes (so it's really like a notebook).

  17. 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.

  18. I think, especially after seeing the recent "favorites bar" on Notability, that we should be allowed to move the toolbar to the right hand side of the screen. As a lefty the bottom toolbar is not close to how useful I find the right handed mini-toolbar that I can throw around my screen in notability now. I'd love to see a more refined and better version of this feature on goodnotes for, not only left handed people, but everyone that doesn't want to reach to the top or bottom of the screen for small reasons

  19. Create a default font, text size, and line spacing that will line up with a narrow and wide rules template. Or, add adjustable line spacing, space before paragraph, and space after paragraph options. It is obnoxious when text on a Cornell template or any other for that matter doesn’t match up with the lines.

  20. Since there already is a feature to convert handwritten text.
    It would be very usefully if you could convert the text from pictures of handwritten notes or documents like textbooks to editable text.
