  1. It would be nice to be able to set more custom default fonts, like the handwriting mode already has.This can be efficient when there is often a need to separate the headline from the body text.

  2. It is very annoying to me that the text mark-ups I make to a pdf get auto-formatted (e.g., inserted capitalisation I do not want because the text goes to a new line). If I could turn this feature off easily I would do it in a heartbeat. I type what I want to type, and changing it in front of my eyes is incredibly annoying, particularly as it is hard to edit text boxes in general.

  3. GoodNotes takes several gigabytes (sometimes more than 10 gigs) of RAM on my computer for just 5 documents. These are not fancy documents, just one note with 17 pages, one grayscale textbook PDF around 400 pages, and 3 more notes with about 5 pages each. This definitely should be fixed. This happens when the GoodNotes is running for several days, and seems like GoodNotes will never release acquired RAM, which is something any programmer should have learned in his/her Introduction to Programing course. Chrome, which is famous for its RAM consumption, "only" (I used the word loosely, comparing to GoodNotes…

  5. Sometimes reviewing physics equations and organic chemistry mechanisms can be tiresome.

    I have a suggestion, if possible, design a way for the laser to record your writing. Allow the laser pointer to record how you write your notes so when you replay it and you can watch exactly how you drew your mechanism or how you did your physics problem.

  8. I would really enjoy a standard size for imported pictures from my MacBook. For Example imports could always take up the space of 10 Blocks or so. This would really help, because right now I always have to adjust the picture size manually.

  9. When I try to activate the option "Get shareable link" an error pops up very often saying that the Goodnotes server is too busy, and asks me to retry in a few seconds or minutes. Recently, this error pops up more frequently than before. Can you improve the server that is offering this service please?

    The ability to collaboratively edit a document is very useful, but this problem makes it difficult to exploit it.

  10. Like we are pinning a flash card to a book and we can write on the flash card while we study on the same page, then we can hide the flash card if needed. And whenever needed we can open that flash card by touching at that specific site.

  13. Due to my studies,I a have a lot of folders with subfolders and other subfolders and so on. It would save so much time, that if the path, you are currently in, is displayed and that you can jump to e.g. a higher folder just by clicking on the name in the path. Just like e.g. the data explorer in windows

  14. Wenn ich ein Dokument durch Doppel-Tap auf die Fensterbreite gezoomt habe und dann scrolle, verschiebt es sich gerne auch seitwärts. Das hätte ich gerne verhindert.

  15. Ich hätte gerne eine frei verschiebbare Leiste, in die ich Stifte und Textmarker mit beliebigen Einstellungen hinzufügen kann. Jeweils 3 Farben sind ein bisschen zu wenig.
    Ich möchte eine Kurzwahl zu von mir voreingestellten Stiften mit je einer Farbe und Strickstärke.

  16. When taking notes for class, I write in a new note for each lecture rather than continuing off of one notebook. When studying for exams, I'd like to open all my lecture notes at once to study, but I can only tediously open one at a time. Could you add a feature for you to select and open multiple notes at once? Thank you!

  17. I set my scrolling direction to "horizontal" and I often flip through many lecture slides for review. I would prefer the transition animations to be disabled when I use a physical keyboard to navigate (with arrow keys). The transitions makes it more tedious to skim through the PDF. It would also be great to have a page count more visible on the main screen (rather than hidden inside a menu).

  19. Lernkarten: Es wäre toll, wenn die Lernkarten sowohl -wie schon jetzt- randomisiert; aber bitte unbedingt in der Reihenfolge (der Notizen) abfragbar sind! Da sie so nicht nur als Karteikarten, sondern auch als Lernzettel (thematische Ordnung möglich) fungieren können!!!

  20. Please add horizontal and vertical rulers (similar to the rulers available is MS word / indesign, etc ...) so that the user would be able to place an object/write in a precise location. This is very helpful if someone intends to print a page with specific header/footer sizes and left/right margins, or for example if someone wants to place an object 4cm from the top, and 2cm from the left of the page.
