  2. currently it allows the selection of line color and line thickness, but they are isolated from each other, if they can be combined as a "compound style", and have multiple of them, it will be perfect.

    e.g. compound style 1 = "red line + thickness in 1mm"
    compound style 2 = "green line + thickness in 2mm"

    if i can select directly between compound style 1 & 2, instead of keep selecting between red / green AND 1mm/2mm, it will be very very handy.

  3. I tried the text feature on the flashcard part of goodnotes and i like the way it looks. but it's really annoying that I can't add photos to it with text. Only if I write out my cards am i able to add photos.

  5. When I write on a sticker, like a memo or post-it note, my handwriting doesn't stay on the sticker when I move the sticker. The sticker separate from the handwriting when I move the sticker. Notability does this beautifully. In Notability, when I write on a sticker, and when I move the sticker, the sticker moved together with my handwriting on it. When I rotate the sticker, my handwriting rotate together with the sticker. In Goodnotes, I have to lasso both my handwriting and sticker in order to move it, which is cumbersome and not natural (i.e. not how I…

  9. Not sure if anyone has suggested this. I am using Goodnotes on both my Mac and iPad. It takes quite a while for the notes to sync between the 2 devices. And sometimes it does not even sync. It would be good if Goodnotes can use Mac as a local cloud server, and notes can be synced seamlessly.

  10. It would be great to not have to change font and typing size for every text box and instead have a preset option like the pens and colors.

  12. add the option that changes the color of notes, as sometimes I write something in a specific color but then I need to change it and rewrite the whole thing again so having an option that would change the color of the paragraph that I wrote and not waste my time would be extremely helpful.

  13. Correct my bad hand-writing as I write (much like my bad lines and circles are corrected in-place into straight lines and Giotto's perfect circles).

    This feature could be switchable, so I can toggle it ON when I lecture and toggle it OFF when I write my personal annotations.

  15. It would be great to have a little image of the current canvas on the side of the page, indicating which part of the canvas is currently shown.

    This would greatly improve overview and usability.

  16. Ability to link to locations (pages, objects, text, etc.) within Goodnotes. I want to add tabs (like section dividers in physical notebooks) and link them to the start of a section, let's say an index. Then, on an index page, link to the specific page of a topic (and so on). It looks like everyone is building their templates in Keynotes, then PDF, then import. This is fussy, but works. The problem with this workaround is that you have to define all your pages when you build your template. You typically don't know how many topics each section will have…

  18. The writing zoom window desperately needs usability improvements:

    • The LASSO tool should be available inside the zoom window.

    • All zoom window SETTINGS need to be PER PAPER TEMPLATE or at the very least per document.

    • The AUTO ADVANCE SETTING needs an easily accessible button at the top of the zoom window.

    • The LEFT MARGIN button should be altered in functionality: It should activate/ unlock with a tap (icon highlighting blue to indicate). While activated the dashed margin line should be freely draggable into the desired position and deactivate/lock itself afterwards automatically. A right margin would be nice too.

    • The CARRIAGE…

  19. There are quite a few preferences, that should be set and/or remembered „per document“ and “not app-wide” because they depend mainly upon the content and style of each notebook. Including:

    • scroll direction

    • auto advance of zoom window

    • last used size of zoom window

    • last used margins of zoom window

    • pen colour presets (we now have a 3rd tab for recently used colours, this should be a “document colour preset” or “recently used in THIS document” instead)

    • last used text style and text box style (and user style presets if we ever get them)

    • filter settings for paper template selection (format…
