  2. I love everything about goodnotes EXCEPT that you are lacking this very basic feature. I am high functioning ASD (and the stereotypical sloppy handwriting) and have connective tissue disorders that make my hands hard to control on a regular basis. I thrive with visual data and organization and your app truly is THE BEST - but I always discontinue use of this app very quickly due to the absolute chicken scratch it turns my handwriting into. This is a very real accessibility issue that I am disappointed to see overlooked by a company of your size and acclaim.

  5. Please add a feature where you can attach a blank sheet (either the same size or slightly smaller) directly next to a downloaded document. I understand that you can open the same notebook in a different window, but it is not functional to have the notes go below the document (or in my case lecture PowerPoint). It is impossible to keep my written notes organized while writing on the same slide as my notes. It is confusing and distracting. Think like a Cornell note style template, where you have room to write notes as well

  6. I think that more languages would be quite beneficial, especially for handwriting. Croatian for an example

  7. Ability to adjust opacity of objects. Stickers, photos, etc.
    There are many reasons I switched to Zinnia but this is the biggest selling point. It’s so basic I can’t wrap my head around why it’s not in GoodNotes.

  9. It's wonderful that there's now a ruler in GoodNotes. For math classes, it would be great if the grid paper aligned with it had a box width of 0.5 cm, and users wouldn't have to create this paper background themselves.

  10. Currently, changing the template only changes it for a single page, would be great if we could remove the template for all pages at once after finishing the notes.

    We may need a ruled, squared or dotted page while writing notes but while reading/sharing we would prefer it on a blank background.

  12. There are basically 3 pen thickness slots, eraser slots, and highlighter thickness slots, so I'd like to have additional thickness slots and eraser slots.

    1. Make the flashcards more like Anki, where it allows you to choose your own spaced repetition based on your ability to recall the cards. Instead of just having right for good and left for bad.
    2. Ability to turn notes into flashcards immediately like RemNote.
    3. Make a feature that shows all the data of how well a flashcard is recalled.

  13. Support Icelandic as recognition language so you can convert handwriting to text and write in Icelandic. It would also be great to be able to check the spelling when writing in Icelandic.

  15. Why is there no way to search for words in flashcards just like in the notebooks?
    Also, the favorite feature for flashcards would also be really helpful.
    All in all, i just want the same features for flash cards that i have for notebooks.
    Thank You

  16. It would be helpful so that we can create additional study sets easier as I have found excel is the best way to input info into study sets but without the ability to merge sets at this time.

  19. Be able to customize tools

    It should be possible to customize the individual tools like pen, back, forward, etc. like in Word, which means that you should place them differently within the toolbar.

    For students this is very important.
