  2. Hi team,
    Could you consider adding a "Free Up Local Space" feature, similar to macOS iCloud and windows OneDrive file management? This would allow users to remove local copies of documents while keeping them in iCloud, saving device storage. Files could be re-downloaded when needed. Thanks!

  3. 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.

  4. I would like to suggest adding two new tools: a geo triangle and a compass. These tools would significantly enhance the functionality of the app, particularly for mathematical tasks. A geo triangle would make it easier to draw precise angles and lines, while a compass would allow users to create accurate circles and arcs. Both tools would be invaluable for students and improve their learning experience.

    Additionally, 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.

    Thank you for considering…

  5. 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

  6. I currently create notes when working (in a notebook) and then go on to create flashcards for a topic - rather than creating flashcards directly from study material.

    I use different software for flashcards but would reconsider if there was an easier (or more obvious way) to create flashcards from a notebook i.e. circle to select some text and add it to a flashcard the same way I can screenshot it

  7. It would be helpful to have a graph overlay where you can add a transparent graph to help you write in a straight line. It can also be used to adjust your notes the way that you want to help with keeping items straight or aligned.

  11. 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.

  12. It would be great if the time keeper feature had a sound effect after the timer ends or a popup window appeared. Because when I set the timer and hide it! I always forget I even had it set. :)

  14. Students often struggle with professors’ PDF slides featuring unusual or difficult color combinations. A practical solution to this issue would be introducing a new feature in GoodNotes: the ability to convert documents into black-and-white mode, enhancing readability and usability.

  16. The space that the current toolbar takes on smaller ipads very large, designing a option to toggle the toolbar into a small movable window like in notability would drastically improve the space for smaller devices.
    I have been thinking of switching over for this exact reason but would like to see if this could be implemented first.
    Thank you.

  18. I feel comfortable writing at a very specific zoom level on the page. I would like to know exactly what this zoom level is and be able to go specifically back to that level of zoom. i.e., write some text, then zoom out to cut and paste, move things around, then when I am ready to start writing text again zoom exactly back to that specific zoom level.

  19. I would love for the old function to classify a flashcard into different categories once I’ve tested myself (easy, difficult, very difficult, didn’t get it). Goodnotes used to have this option but it doesn’t have it anymore. I want a better spaced repetition algorithm for the study set.
    When I use it right now, I have too many flash cards at once (the really easy one and the hard one all at once).
