  3. Having the ability to vertically or horizontally flip a imported image or sticker. This would be so beneficial for architecture red lines!

  5. I like to color code my notes. It would be so helpful to have the option to set a different color palette for every notebook without it affecting the rest, rather than having to rearrange my palette every time i want to take notes for another subject

  6. The "smart" dark mode will essentially invert the colors of the actual document, not just them them of the app interface. Take a look at how CollaNote handles this on iPad, or how Outlook handles dark mode in emails. It's not a pure inversion of colors, rather, the background goes black and the colors you are using are adjusted to be more visible against a dark background. For example, if you are using a dark blue pen, on the dark-mode background it still shows as blue, but a much lighter blue. As opposed to inverting which would just make it…

  7. It would be amazing to have this feature as it's the only thing keeping me from using GoodNotes and not Notability. I'd switch to GoodNotes in a heartbeat if GIFs were supported. Please make it a thing! 🙏

  8. Dashed lines and curves would be great. I often find myself needing to draw a dashed line in graphs, or in hidden sides of 3d shapes. It’s a must in a note taking app. The implementation of this feature shouldn’t be a challenge for any programmer, especially as it’s already exists in Goodnotes 5 code. For example, the dashed curved in the Lasso tool, or the way Goodnotes 5 draws shapes. If you use Standard Eraser to erase alternating sub curves, you are left with a dashed curve, except now it’s not functioning as a curve and you can’t edit…

  9. Hi, I love the new feature and I'm tankful for the GoodNotes team for working so hard to bring so many useful features to the app to help us study. I would have one request and that is to be able to move cards from one study sets to another. That would be tremendously useful.

  10. While recording audio, GoodNotes should periodically autosave and start a new recording, e.g. once per hour. This would break the recording into hourlong chunks. This functionality is available in Notability, for example.

    Use case: if the user forgets to turn off recording, it’s easier to delete unnecessary recordings later by looking at the timestamp.

  11. As a student, I have a notebook for each class and like to record the lectures for especially difficult topics. I would like to be able to quickly review the audio files when studying; I think the rename feature is vital so I can quickly access a specific lecture topic without trying to figure out what day (or even what hour) the lecture was given. It will also help me organize topics.

    I also think a separate space for an audio transcript would be extremely helpful for productivity. Not only does it help me quickly navigate the recording (e.g. jump…

  12. It would be great to be able to export study sets and/or flashcards into a printable form that would be the size of a notecard, to be folded over and made into a physical card.

  13. The addition to recording on GoodNotes is fantastic, I have used it so much recently. However, the audio files are linked to the entire notebook with just the date and length. I want to attach it to just one page, or one section, and the ability to name and export the audio files is necessary.

    Having to dig through all the audio files to find the one I'm looking for is very inefficient and defeats the purpose of recording while taking meeting notes.

  14. Please, let us choose custom color for toolbar or add some options. I know its purely aesthetic feature but I pay huge attention to my work environment and this weird toolbar color of Goodnotes is driving me crazy :) At least please add pure white option so I could make it more minimalistic, like Instapaper looks for example.

  15. I wish we had the ability to change the order of images, like in Microsoft Word. Instead of having to paste images in a certain order for the correct one to be on top, I wish we could click the image and either send it forward or backward.

  16. Right now, the app makes it so the last three colors you were using for the highlighter/ pen are kept. But I think it would be helpful to have it so the colours are saved based on the colors being used in that notebook. For some notebooks I use, black, red, and green ink, and for others, I like to have a color theme to them. If the app was able to just keep the colors previously used for that notebook the same rather than the colors used throughout the whole app.

  18. I have been using this app for nearly four years. Recently, I often use your "Add comments" function to make annotations, but there is no "search comments" function to make me confused, because there are 50 or 60 comments on a note, it is difficult to find the comments I want to see in a short time, I really hope to update the "Search comments" function as soon as possible. Best wishes for you.

  20. please allow us to customize the folders to allow for more organization! it can be very confusing at times to have each folder being the same color. also, colored papers for notebooks! this would make note taking more customizable and fun.
