  1. Not only could you translate the format, but this could really work well with the "Send to Kindle" feature.

  2. Get rid of the “Save as default” in font styling and just have the font set automatically to the font when it’s adjusted. Just like how when you work in word document, google docs, when you set the font, it stays at that font every time you work. I constantly have to change fonts and reclick the “Save as default” Font, and it’s really annoying because it doesn’t appear in split screen. Why not just get rid of it entirely and save the font once it’s set, as it’s much more intuitive.

    In Notability, they have the Font Adjuster appearing…

  3. It would be nice if it were possible to use flashcard mode for vocab training. Therefore it would have to be possible to flip the "question" and "answer" page. Manually (all of them) or randomly (single ones). More over, the Q and A page titles should be renamable like "English" / "Spanish". There are loads of vocab training apps out there but I like the Idea of handwriting. What do you think about it?

  4. Gives us some space to write down our answer when using flash card. I think the ability to write the idea down instead of just thinking about the question helps memorizing a lot. We can also compare it to the answer afterward.

  5. Currently to copy an element like a sticker, I have to lasso and then long-press, as if I just long-press on the sticker that option isn’t available. I can only zoom, edit, or paste. It seems like an unnecessary extra step, and I’d love for “copy” to be an option here.

  6. There’s times I’d like my highlighter to be more vivid without going over it multiple times, or times I’d even like it to be solid (e.g. to fill something with solid color since it’s larger brush size)

  7. After selecting something, you have to tap inside the lasso area to get the options menu to open (to let you take screenshot, resize, etc). This menu should open immediately after selecting something so you don't have to tap again. (This is how the menu on Noteshelf works)

  8. There is a ton of clicking that is required when utilizing the application, whether on the MAC or iPAD.
    One example: Copying & pasting, clicking to select the text, etc is extremely slow. Mistakes are often made because I am working faster than the application. I have to wait a couple of seconds for the text box to show up and make sure the cursor is active before pasting something. If I paste immediately after I select to place my text box, then the text will randomly be pasted onto the page in the original format requiring to click into…

  9. I understand that you can open a second note. However, I don't think it is possible to have two pages side by side of the same notebook. I think this is probably the best alternative to an infinite page that cannot be done.

    Imagine a physical notebook that doesn't have a spiral or three ring down the center. Just two blank pages next to each other on the same screen. This opens up the area to take notes.

  11. Please make smaller query intervals for cards you don't know yet. Even if I have classified half of the flashcards as difficult, the query interval increases significantly.I think it's good that not every day the same flashcards and always only a few flashcards are queried. Nevertheless, the date for the next query should also take into account the cards that were not queried on this day and were previously classified as hard, otherwise they will be queried, for example only in two weeks, which affects the learning progress.

  12. Do not change font and formatting of text when changing the size of the font. When you have text with various formatting (underlining, bolding, or italics), changing the font size of the entire group of text will change the formatting and apply the bold or italics to all characters within the group.
    If the size of entire group of text is changed, only the size of the text should change. The formatting should remain unchanged.

  13. Every single time I paste text into GoodNotes from another source I have to resize, change font and MOST ANNOYINGLY undo the “indentation” and “misalignment” of text by using the return and backspace. The indentation happens even when the original text is all parallel and doesn’t have an indentation. I literally spend about 3-4 minutes each page just editing what I pasted to look uniform, parallel and neat. WHY!

  14. I read a lot of research papers and sometimes want to summarize a paragraph in the margins. However, the margins are often too small to do that. It would be nice to convert the A4 paper to A3, or just an option to add a few centimeters on each side.

  15. Sometimes a PowerPoint slide or PDF file might not have enough room to write notes on, or gets too cluttered.

    I like to create a new blank page and write notes on that. The issue is the fact that sometimes these additional notes do not take up the whole page so I just have a huge blank area beneath the notes.

    I'd like a way to resize each individual page, if needed. That way, I can cut out all the blank, wasted space and keep my notes seamless.

  17. The app is amazing. I just got it today BUT I can think of a feature that would be very useful - locking individual pages so that you can’t write on it until you unlock it. I’m a very clumsy person and I always end up accidentally writing/drawing on things on accident even when I am done with them.
    I see a request to lock all pages but I would also like the function to lock them individually so that I finish them I don’t put something on there that I don’t want.

  19. In university, there are some worksheets that are blank. Is it possible to have "virtual lines" so that our handwriting can be neater. These lines should not be permanent & not show up on the final document.
