  2. Let typing mode cover the full page instead of losing some space at the edges, especially at the top and bottom of a page.

  3. The UI does not have to always be visible. When i am taking notes i just want a FULLSCREEN (see that idea too) paper and maybe a widget on one of the edges for changing the color or the thickness of my pen. I don't need to have the save and delete and bookmark and tabs and title and everything on top of the paper. Just tools and colors. For more there should be a pop-up menu or something.

  4. In the new feature of smart study flashcards, the typing section is stuck with one font and one format. If I could explained with different colors, formatting subscripts/superscripts it’d be super convenient and imp[rove my experience. Thanks for all of y’all hardwork!

  6. Nowadays it is becoming popular in the world to learn Ukrainian language. I propose to add Ukrainian to the list of languages. It is a language of the Cyrillic family, I think it would be easy to do on the basis of the Russian language.

  7. Having to tap each field of a flash card to start writing on it in study sets edit mode is so inconvenient that it is faster to write the cards as a normal flash card file and then convert it into study sets. Please provide an option allowing users to instantly write new flashcards without tapping. Love the app!

  8. Could we get an option to adjust the opacity of the highlighter we are using? In using it as a marker it would be nice to have the option for the color to be fully opaque, and then sometimes when highlighting it is nice to have a color brighter in some areas and more transparent in others.

    1. Recordings should serve as links to the notebook page you wrote them on. If you’re listening to a recording, it should automatically hop to the page you were writing on at that part of the recording
    2. Ability to rename, delete, and split recordings
    3. Ability to adjust speed when listening to a recording

  11. As I used voice recording function, I suggest two improvements.
    First, it will be better if we can save recorded file out from GoodNotes.
    Second, I suggest that we can adjust speed of the recording when listening.

    Thank you

  12. Please can we have the three line thickness options back on the toolbar? It’s an extra click now to access a drop down which is less convenient.

    I think you’ve replaced it with an extra line colour option but I preferred it before.

  13. I tried the new study set fission, and I love the concept.
    The only problem I have with are:

    1 not being able to see and jump trough all my flashcards
    2 having to press twice on the question/answer cart to be able to edit, and the fact that hey open in a different section completely, this is a little annoying since I cannot see my question when I'm writing the answer

  15. It would be awesome to have the possibility to save an individual color palette for typed texts just like it is for handwritten texts. At the moment there’s just the option to save one explicit favourite text style respectively text color.

  16. We can keep each page as its own individual file but make it so we can view our notebook/planner as a book. I would love to see that option so I can see two of my pages side by side like a physical book.

  17. I think like PowerPoint, it'd be good to be able to collapse the purple toolbar (that sits above the pen tools). It honestly takes up a lot of vertical space and is unnecessary for the entirety of a notetaking session.

    We normally don't need to access the notebook name, tabs, recording, share, etc. immediately and therefore it is a waste of space for it to be visible sometimes.

    It should be easily collapsed, and some essential tools like back and forward could be moved to the writing tools row that should be the one to only show.

    On an 11"…

  19. Add a sync button on the main bar to the different goodnotes platforms. I simultaneously work between goodnotes on my MacBook and iPad. It rarely auto syncs in real-time. I need back out of my current document in both platforms, go into settings, go into icloud settings, and then click use icloud. I toggle off in both then toggle on in both for my changes to sync real-time. It's a nuisance. I love goodnotes otherwise.
