  1. Different set of tools for each notebook

    It would be nice if each notebook could store a set of tools. This would be to select the 3 sizes that the application allows you and a series of colors for a specific notebook, that is, that the sizes are not modified in general, but only for that notebook. This could be implemented with a padlock-like button to lock the settings for that notebook only.
    It would be great for when you import a pdf of a different size from the notebook you usually use and you want to write on that pdf.

  2. flat marker pen / streamline option

    A flat marker pen like for flipcharts would be really great. For the highligter and the writing pen.

    Also a streamline option (with the ability to set the strongness of the streamline) for the pens and highlighters would be also great to smooth out the handwriting. Just like you can set it in procreate.

    Thanks a lot!

  3. Recording with text also being synced with recording time

    When you record and write, the writing syncs with the time of the recording. This same feature would be amazing to have when typing instead of the entire text box appearing at once.

  4. Pen thickness changing easier?

    Maybe an option of hold pressing on the thickness button and the ability to change the width by sliding pen up and down (to select the strokes), so we wouldn't have to open the stroke button every 2 seconds for switching?

  5. Stop the "Paste, Add Comment" Box from showing up when writing slowly in Macos.

    I use a graphic tablet (Gaomon 1060 pro) with Goodnotes on macos. When i write fast, the "Paste, Add Comment" Box doesn't appear . However, if i write slowly, the box keeps showing and hides my writing. I find that the box is very annoying.

  6. Colors in Toolbar Sync to Multiple Devices

    Hello,

    I am a new Goodnotes user and have used Notability for 10+ years. I decided to get Goodnotes for digital planners and noticed that the colors preset on my iPad are not synching to other devices. In notability, the colors I have preset sync to my other devices and it makes the colors more efficient!

  7. Cloze/fill-in-the-blank

    There should be a tool that can do cloze on either text or diagrams, then when the a “test mode” is activated it hides the item and it has to be clicked to be revealed. This would work very well with the current flash card system. It is the only feature that is missing compared to other studying apps like Remnote or Anki.

  8. Add an Equations text option or a better cloud sync

    Similar to one note, word, etc - an option to type equations with shorthand such as \vec (to create a vector arrow), \pi for the pi symbol, etc is incredibly important for mathematics, engineering, physics and many other sciences. If Goodnotes 5 is to truly support all students, mathematical equation support in text format is a must. Goodnotes 5 is used above OneNote because printing onenote pages is actively a nightmare, but lack of support for maths, and an inability to sync any handwritten equations immediately with a live sync or force cloud sync feature is a huge issue.

  9. Text style formats

    I would really appreciate to have styles for text like in Word to save text formats (that's something I really miss in Goodnotes for IOS).

  10. PLAYING AUDIO RECORDINGS IN IOS BACKGROUND (SCREEN LOCKED)

    I WOULD FIND IT REALLY HELPFUL IF GOODNOTES GOT THE FEATURE TO PLAY RECORDED AUDIO FILES IN THE IOS BACKGROUND EVEN IF SCREEN IS LOCKED.

  11. Flash card Notifications

    Could you please add flash card notifications, where goodnotes sends out a notification when it’s the recommended time to study the flashcards again? Like helping the spaced practice be more effective by prompting the user it’s time to review those cards again?

    And also have a todo list within the goodnotes app itself on the side which shows the sets that need to be done, and the tasks only go away once you do them with a satisfying animation.

  13. Give us back the original GoodNotes 4 fountain pen

    The handwriting experience in GoodNotes 4 is much better, because the fountain pen is not that exaggerated like in GoodNotes 5. Please optimise this.

  15. Study Set defaults to US English - add option to set your default language

    The topic says it all really …

    Currently the app preferences captures a setting for your language, with respect to handwriting recognition.

    My suggestion is to extend that data point to also apply to the default language used when creating a new “Study Set” of flash cards.

    The need to change this every time seems a failing on the part of the design…

  17. Selecting of stickers

    It would be nice if you use a sticker of a sticky note (for example) and you write on it you can select this sticker with the writing on it without selecting the text underneath the sticker. Just like in real life, you write something on a sticky note, stick it in your notebook and then remove it again without removing what's in your notebook.

  18. Larger range of rapid colours selection for highliters and pens - Customizable tool bar

    As my (and other's) studying method requires a lot of colours, I would like to be able to change the highliter or pen colour faster. So, I'm suggesting something like a detachable grid for colour selection or an option which allows me to visualize more than 3 rapid colour choices in the main bar (for instance, hiding through the settings menu the unused tools to make room for the ones that I use more frequently).
    In other words, I would like to customize my tool bar and make it more efficient to meet my specific needs. Is this possible?
    Thank…

  20. icloud refresh button

    I often work on my laptop and ipad at the same time, adding pages from my laptop files and filling them out on my ipad. I frequently have to turn of and on icloud sync in settings on both devices to make it refresh faster.

    A button to do this automatically while working on a note would be appreciated
