  2. Add an option for the pen tool that would smooth out handwriting (similar to a feature in procreate.) I can get really picky about my handwriting and will spend 5x as long writing a sentence trying to get the jitters and bumps out of the hand writing.

  3. This is not a major, groundbreaking change, but I think it’d be incredibly useful for some use cases if GoodNotes showed the date that notes were created as well as when they were last modified.

    I often want to go back to notes that were created around a particular date, such as, say, November 2016. Once I make a change to an old note I currently have no way of knowing when it was originally created. I do a lot of planning that requires knowing when documents were created, which is making me regret having stored my docs in GoodNotes…

  4. Für viele komplexe Aufgaben wird bei der Konstruktion eine genaue Gradzahl benötigt. Mit einem Geodreieck wäre dies auch ohne andere App leicht möglich.

  5. Please improve the flash card tool. It would be very useful if there were more options to it.

    Please add an option to see a seperate stack of flash cards you got wrong. Or any other way to review those flash cards seperated from the ones you got right.

  7. When I complete flashcards, it says there is a time I should come back to review it again. Would be nice to have a notification to remind me on the day.

  8. It would be great if there was a mode wherein all the text that you highlight (using a specific tool designated for this mode), would be hidden (the text disappears but you see a blank line in its place). When you click on the blank line again, the word will reappear (then clicking another time will make the word disappear) -- basically it's becomes a mini flash card/ fill in the blank option!

    Also, this would only apply when you turn the mode on. Once its turned off the file is back to normal/original form and you won't see which…

  10. It would be a lot more convenient if I could place the toolbar on the side of the screen so I could easily reach it with my non-writing hand.

  14. It would be great if we could fill the shapes that we create with more unique fills. Not only will this make the process more creative but it would also make our visuals more understandable.

  16. Please add the ability to set margins on both sides of handwriting paper. The auto advance works great, but since you cannot set the margin on the right side of the paper, the handwriting often goes right to the edge of the paper before the auto-return takes you to the next line.

  17. Allow text to be added directly to the paper rather than using text boxes. This will create a more seamless structure of handwriting and text like Notability. A text box that shifts around the screen has its uses, but as a primary text input method, it is a disappointing experience. Where lined paper is used, the lines should also adapt to the font size and text positioning in a similar way to notability. When pictures are added to the document, the text should wrap around it. Allow text styling, alignment and bullet features that are present in most text editors.…

  18. I want to be able to use the lasso tool to select images, highlighters or my notes and be able to choose whether they are supposed to be on top or below. Cause if I write something and add an image, the image will cover up my words but if I write after the image it stays as the top layers. So I’ll want to be able to change the layers and it’ll be a lot more organized for me.
