  2. A search bar when you select the “Element” tool so you can search for specific types of sticker. Ex: “Check mark” or “Red Book”. I have a few huge sticker packs and it takes forever trying to find a specific sticker.

  3. For professors, researchers, and students that use Goodnotes for annotations and highlighting, a nightmode would be awesome. Night mode would invert the white pixels to darker black and alter the black text to white, creating a more readability at night.

    Annotation happens at night for most of us who research, A night mode that can be toggled or adjusted with iOS night mode would be phenomenonal.

  11. Please i beg you it would be so much more convenient to have access to folders by having the option to expand on the left side of the screen like how the apple filing system works on files or finder. It is such a simple change i don't understand why it is not being implemented. thank you

  12. As a teacher I often have a lot of open documents, that are currently needed for the different classes I teach. When opening more than 4 or 5 files it gets difficult to distinguish between them without having to go back into folders.

    The following features would help here:
    - a dropdown menu to choose the file I need
    - the ability to group document tabs
    - colored document tabs similar to the new folder colors
    - a visual overview option to see small versions of all open documents, similar to the overview of open GoodNotes instances for split view…

  13. For requesting dictionary or translator, other apps such as Book in all iOS can do touch or tap in PDF file so I can read and take note in PDF file that is academic paper for taking some importance note like unknown word's for better understanding when I comeback to read.

    I feel a bit sad when my GoodNote cannot do like that. However, I don’t sure it’s hard or not if developer will add dictionary or translator into GoodNote by default.

  14. Currently you are unable to use scribble to erase in the zoom window. I love the scribble feature and I’ve become very reliant on it that I can’t use the feature of the zoom window. I would love to use it and be able to see my full page but it is annoying having to undo or use the eraser

  15. Having the capability to convert spoken words into written text, also known as voice to text transcription, is an invaluable tool that has the potential to revolutionize the way you capture and retain information. Imagine being able to effortlessly transcribe a lecture word by word, facilitating an efficient process for transforming spoken content into written form. Furthermore, this feature opens up the possibility of seamlessly integrating the transcription process with note-taking techniques such as the popular Cornell notes method. By merging these two powerful tools, you enhance your learning experience by creating a comprehensive and organized repository of information gleaned…

  16. A button to configure a specific card to be reviewed with both the question first, or the answer, helping us to study cards in both directions, as already used in some flash card apps.

    Would also be ideal to be able to use the tape on the flash card questions, if tape is implemented.

  17. Often when using the eraser, I find myself having forgot that I have selected a size too big and end up erasing too much. Therefore, it would be nice to preview the size of the eraser on hover, essentially the same way it is done in the native apps.

  18. I use a lot goodnotes at night, and it is really bad. I don't like the blue colour that stands out during the night. Would be nice to either leave it black, or just be more minimalistic like apple notes or notability.

  19. It would be great if you could change the gmail your account is linked to, so that you could have access to them in another drive. When I first made an account it was with my everyday email, now I have a separate one for business and school. Would be awesome if I could change it even if it was only allowed one time.

  20. When using the resize tool to resize images, stickers, text, handwriting etc… the resize tool anchors from the centre so when you pull it down at the bottom it will also shoot up at the top. This makes it hard to get it to the exact size you want as you can’t predict exactly half of how much bigger you want it if that makes sense. Basically just have options on all four sides to pull out or push in the image etc…
