  2. Make scanned documents the same size as templates

    When you write on a din4 template and scan a paper document that is also din4 the ist going to be bigger than the template I use. It might be slightly but the difference makes the papers seem like a different size and on the side edges it is not fixed anymore. I want The paper just to scroll down but now it moves to the side. To fix it I can zoom full out but then the brightness of the pages won’t fill the howl display. Please make it the same size so it won’t move a side.

  3. Flashcards

    I feel that the flashcards would be perfect if I was able to flip them and get tested on the "answer" side. when I'm studying a language, I want to be able to get tested on both languages. And if it's possible, it would be amazing to be able to mess with the setting and get a mix of either side of the flashcards in a study sesh. Also the ability to randomise flashcards would be great. In general, more customisation for how we want to be tested would be awesome. Other than that, I'm really happy with this flashcard…

  4. Add fill bucket, to easily fill out big areas fast.

    Add bucket fill, like it is in most painting apps. It would make note-taking a lot easier if you want to draw a picture for something.

  7. Tool panel set-up by user

    In the new update you hided the thickness of the pen under the button. Its very uncomfortable. Can you please consider to let the person to change settings (tool panel) himself — those who need more colors, would be able to hide the thickness,,, and others will be able to hide more colors.

    Thank you!

  8. Mini Favorites Toolbar Adjustable

    A mini favorites toolbar to add our favorite colors for pens, highlighters, eraser, etc. would be nice to move around on the screen like in Notability!

  9. Assign a color palette for different notebooks

    i have lots of notebooks, some use the same exact colors all the time and some vary each use. i’d love to be able to set a color palette to one notebook, like my planner, and be able to just always have those colors set aside and set as favorites when i switch into that notebook.

  11. Toolbar and pen sizing collapsed into drop menu, new update frustration

    I hate that the new update collapsed pen sizing into a drop menu. This messes with my workflow because I tend to do fast pen switching and now it feels more clunky now that there's a fourth color option. Please allow for toolbar editing/rearranging.

  12. A lot of ideas

    I've been using Good Notes for university and life in general for two years now, and there are several features that would make the app a much better place to study.
    I've thought about them and here they go (my native language isn't english so sorry if i make mistakes):

    -The audio option could be better (it would be great to be able to leave them inserted as stickers in any part of the sheet and thus divide the audio into sections, and that when pressed the previously recorded audio would sound). Also give them names and that they are…

  13. Feedback on “Study set”

    When making a card it would be nice to have all functions available, such as draw, type and pictures.

    One idea could be to have the classical top menu where the pen, eraser, hilighter, etc are found but also include a “Type” option that allows the user to type notes in the center of the card, just like it is in the current version. After that, the other tools can be used to add onto the text, such as hilighting or creating hand written annotations.

    It would also be useful to add both pictures and text to the same card.

  14. Line smoothing

    Have an option to have a delay of the apple pencil but in return for smoother lines, like procreate. Many people use tempered glass protectors which forcibly results in wobbly curved lines especially when drawing diagrams. A toggle or button to turn on a smoothing feature for drawing diagrams would be great

  15. Ruler to help write a straight line

    Ruler or writing grid that is not really on a page after using the tool would be amazing. Because apples handwriting to text doesnt work with many languages!

  17. Text box problems

    It seems there has been a change in a text box function.
    The text box didn't move until I selected [T] or text function.
    But now, with a slight touch with my hand or finger, the text box is selected and moves around. This is very inconvenient because I usually take notes by typing. I have more than 150 pages written down and now whenever I try to review the materials with my apple pencil, it moves.

    In the video I intended to touch it with my hand because this happens suddenly. I hope you fix this problem.

  18. Slide build, as in PowerPoint/Keynote

    Allow the creation of slides which "build", like PowerPoint's "appear" animation, without making multiple pages.

    I am a university professor; my colleagues and I use GoodNotes heavily both for teaching and presenting our research at scientific conferences. One of the last advantages PowerPoint has over GoodNotes, for our use, is the slide animation feature, where objects on a single slide can be made to appear one at a time when the slides are presented. To replicate this behavior in GoodNotes right now, the standard technique is to build the slide over multiple pages, using the page duplication feature. However, this…

  20. Lots of Changes: More pens, pen streamline, more color favorites, no overlap highlighters, fill shape

    It would be very nice if there could be many features added like more pen options like marker, pencil, calligraphy, etc. it would also be nice if there could be a streamline feature so that when you write, the handwriting isn’t so “jerky” or “jittery.” It would also be nice if the highlighters didn’t overlap.
