  1. The upper toolbar, where we the share-button or the undo-button are sadly is in a dark grey colour. I would wish that the customer can choose an arbitrary colour or even theme for this upper toolbar. For example OneNote is purple and in Notability the theme of the background and the toolbar can be changed.
    Thanks in advance.

  2. Hello, I use the study kit option a lot and there are some features that I would like you to include.

    1° I would like to have the option of being able to change the order of the cards, when I am in thumbnail mode, in the same way, that I can modify the order of the pages in a notebook.

    2nd I would like to be able to move cards individually or by selecting several from one set to another.

    3rd In thumbnail mode I would like to see the names of the cards much larger, on the iPhone…

  4. post it on the app should be easier to use. when you use them they should appear so you can write on them but when you top using them they should disappear/minimize (only appear as a little icon) so they don't use real estate on the screen or block part of it . when you want to read the theme you could press on the icon and the post should re-emerge.

  5. Imagine having a notebook for a specific subject like gravity in physics. Having to look up the formulas is unnecessary and requires to open two goodnote windows. What if there was a drop down or draggable smaller window that shows them specific for the notebooks with own written notes?

  6. The new feature for writing over the whole page definitely needs adjustable fonts, as well as writing exactly in the lines of the template

  7. Guten Tag,
    ich studiere zur Zeit und nutze dabei sehr gerne die neue Funktion der Lernsets. Eine kleine Verbesserung, welche aus meiner Sicht sehr zur Übersicht beitragen würde, ist dass man einstellen kann, von welchen Lernsets man eine Benachrichtigung bekommen möchte, dass man diese lernen soll. Ich habe nämlich viele Lernsets und verliere da total den Überblick.
    Vielen Dank im Voraus.

  8. The same colour and size is selected while annotating for Pen tool and Drawing Box/circle/shape tool by default . I hope the team works on this in future updates and lets users have separate colours for each tool and not necessarily default choice, so each time we switch tools it doesn’t hamper the flow

  9. Recommend adding a multi-touch free rotation function with zoom capabilities to facilitate page customization and enhance user experience, such as filling out forms with horizontal and vertical fields. Example of this feature can be observed in Zinnia application for iOS and iPadOS.

  10. It would great if you can see all comments you wrote in one book together. Perhaps under the field outlines "see all comments".

  11. I think it would be great if I marked a wohle text with highlighter/marker that I can easyily change the color oft the marker. Until yet there is only the function that I can change the pencil color, but not the marker color.
    Thanks!

  12. 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.

  14. When you import an image as a flash card you can’t write on it at all with a pen. While you could edit the image before importing it, it would help if you could import say a labelled diagram of a cell and you could blackout one individual label and put the label as the answer on the other side of the flash card. This could help you with one diagram making easily 6+ Flashcards in a minute directly from lecture notes making it a lot easier.

  15. Having either side of the flash card possibly show up in the deck, and you would have to recall the other side. An example would be learning German and you need to know how to translate English to German but also German to English. So you would only have to make one flash card for recalling the word in both “directions”.

  16. First thank you for your priceless. application. It’s really enjoyable to take notes.
    As a researcher, I need to read and annotate lots of papers. I would appreciate it if you could add a feature that allows me to write out the outline. I show it in the attachment. It will help organize and make annotation more enjoyable. Also, it gives us more space to make a connection between different articles.

  17. I'm a therapist, in 3 jobs, if I had an option to open a binder, then I would have 3 one for each job and each separation from the binder a client, and every time the client comes back I already have the continuation in the binder and separation from him

  18. 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!

  19. It would be really useful with a feature which gives the opportunity to quickly jump from one page number to another random page by typing in the page number.
    The feature is already built in, but it requires too many taps to go through the menu and find it.

    I often have large PDFs in court with thousands of pages, and need to be able to jump from e.g. page 37 to 1754 really quick without too many taps.

  20. Automate AI that, when performing a search within a document, automatically includes OCR text and handwritten text. This may take a few seconds to render by request. Totally worth it.
