  1. When inside a folder somewhere on the screen can you show the file path similiar to windows file explorer so we can simply drag a file to any part of the path rather than clicking the drop down options and then clicking move. Also, the move menu that shows all your files appears on the side when you open a file so you can directly drag and drop would also be great.

  2. the flashcard function could use improvement. I am unable to bold or even underline my text on the flashcard. I can't even use my pencil to highlight/add notes. There is no way to go from card to card editing without going to the outline each time. The main concern is not being able to bold text in the card since it now all blends in and is not as helpful

  3. Adding a dropdown menu for folders in the left toolbar, akin to Notability and OneNote's setup, would streamline navigation, especially for users juggling multiple categories of notes or documents

  5. It would be great to have a feature where double-tapping on the pen thickness icon lets users seamlessly toggle between line styles, such as solid, dashed and dotted. Instead of having to open the context menu.

  6. I suggest the function of short-answer questions. Currently, I know that there is the function "study set", but we can pass a question despite we didn't memorize it accurately. So, it can be prohibited by make the type of question of "short-answer question".

    More specific form is as below.
    Form of the document is same with the study set. However, the method which it tests us will become "short-answer questions". Only if we write the accurate answer, we can pass to the next question. If we don't know about the answer, click the 'answer' button, then we can see the…

  7. I’ve noticed that the lengths on the ruler do not align perfectly with the boxes on the checkered sheets. Fixing this alignment issue would greatly improve accuracy and usability.

  8. Instead of every change in palette or pen type or size to be applied to every notebook, can we have the features same as the last time we used that specific notebook instead of every change being applicable to every notebook? If one had to make an art notebook and a notes notebook then the choice of colours and pen would vary and it's not practical to set everything up again before resuming

  9. As a student, I often have my uni books in epub format and it would be great to have the possibility to modify/annotate them as we alreadu can with pdf. I know you can convert EPUb to PDF easily, but it doesnt always come out right, so EPUB support would be easier and more comfortable

  10. Can the edit feature for the elements have the same mechanics as when we move notepads/files?

    Currently we get a teeny-tiny screen, and have to drag stickers individually, and click "done". This makes it really frustrating and time consuming to organize stickers, which sometimes get all jumbled on download.

    It would be better to a) be able to select multiple elements and b) drag them to other collections if we want, c) on a larger or full-sized window, and d) to not have all the work undone when we click out of that window. Basically the same mechanics as the…

  12. You can not delete the duplication until restart of the app. Then the old picture/text etc. disappears and only appears at the intended place. It‘s really annoying. Also if you zoom in to write sometimes parts of the strokes or dots disappear. You have to either overwrite it to fix it or erase/undo and write again.

  14. Please make the transcript available to all users regardless of their iOS device. Why is that notability has this feature available for all users, but your company has this feature only available for certain iOS devices ?

  18. As the title suggests, I need more tape styles or more customizable tape styles. The current tape styles are too monochromatic and not very attractive. They are not smart or colorful enough, and they are not personalized or free. I hope that more support can be provided for this function as soon as possible, rather than getting stuck in AI text recognition and neglecting the construction of basic functions. Other note-taking software has had this feature for a while, as shown in the figure below.
