  1. It would be nice to say "Select all handwriting" or simply "select all". Oftentimes when I need to resize I have to draw my lasso around the whole object multiple times because it misses a small or large portion. It would make resizing much easier if we could just say select all.

  2. Kindly add this feature of more highlighter color displayed on tab since as a student I use minimum of 5 highlighter colors to study and also to read personal books. It was such a hassle to change color by tapping the additional color instead of just having a 5 color option displayed. It will save A LOT OF TIME for those who study with this style who uses color coding scheme. Please help us.

  3. The new flashcard feature is great, now we can see the cards in a bigger way. The only thing that would be useful, would be if we had an overview over all the cards like we do in a normal notebook over all the pages, so that we can find specific cards more easily.

  6. There already exists the option to hyperlink typed text, which is great. But many people, including myself, primarily handwrite notes, and it would be very helpful to add the feature to select some handwritten text and attach a hyperlink to it, and also the option to attach a hyperlink to an inserted object, like an image.

    On top of that, a fantastic addition would be to allow linking to other in-app locations, text or objects, whether that be clicking the linked text or object and being taken to the linked text, object, or location in the same notebook, or in…

  7. To greatly improve the quality of this application, in terms of practicality and time saving, I suggest:
    - have an "eyedropper" mode, to select a color already present on its page and be able to use it
    - to be able to have a filling function of our shapes and our diagrams, without having to spend time coloring
    - offer more style of pens

  10. I use a lot of different custom templates for the work that I do. It would save me an immense amount of time if I could set a different default template for each folder. Example: if I open my folder of customer orders and start a quick note, it automatically uses the template I’ve created for taking orders that customers phone in because I’ve set that as the default template for THAT folder. When I open my interviews folder and start a quick note the default template would be the questionnaire that I use when interviewing applicants. Please!

  11. Just happened to compare my writing on goodnotes & notability, goodnotes seems to have lag with my writing whereas notability is super smooth with an unnoticeable lag. Kindly look up to resolve as goodnotes is my favourite.

  13. We are already able to copy an image to clipboard with the lasso tool.
    Would be great if we could insert that image directly from clipboard without saving it to photos which will not create junks in the photos. A pretty small idea but an efficient one

  15. It would be great to a have a "visual graph" of the audio recordings (volume level).

    Use case:
    While listening to a recording of a long lecture\meeting you can easily navigate to parts with higher volume (speaking parts) and avoid silent ones.

  16. It would be great if one could move/drag the page higher, so that the hand would still lie on the tablet when one wants to write at the very bottom of the page.

  17. It would be great to name and save Audioclips to a page. This way you can hear only the information on the page you are looking at without searching for the right audio or for the right Minute in the audio. The audio should stick right to a page where you need it.

  18. Now the goodnotes on windows beta can only create notes files but can not open the notes files created by ios or share the files to other equipments. Naturally, I know that now the beta version can not sync with iphone or mac, however, the functions I mentioned beyond is also very important.

  20. Changing the color of all a specific color. An example being able to change all the color red on a page/throughout the notebook into blue. Having to lasso colors to change it can be a slow process, so it would be nice if we could do it with a few clicks.
