  2. I’m a student which I know some other people can relate to is to know a lot of different languages and wants to make notes like in their native language or their secondary language. For example I would gladly be happy if there was more choices to choose for languages. It’s a little bit annoying to write when the dictionary says it’s wrong and have the red line under the words. Even tho it’s right and it’s in another language. If u could make it possible for more languages then it would change for most people using the app on…

  3. After the new tape inclusion, it would be nice to have a button to hide all tapes again or to show the content below the tapes at the same time.

  4. When I type too much text and it goes beyond the bottom of the page, the overflow text doesn't automatically get added to the next page - I need to manually add it.

    Could you make it so that when the text goes beyond the bottom of the page, it gets automatically added to the next page to prevent the need for manual intervention?

    This would allow for a smoother and faster note-taking experience.

  6. Let us being able to add LaTeX expressions as a TEXT input.
    You can either render it using mathjax, katex, ...

    Reason :
    The recognition gets really confused and is pretty much unusable for serious mathematics ( people who study mathematics ) : integrals, sets with subscripts, norms, ...

  7. It would be nice if we can minimize the toolbar or even hide it. The current toolbar is taking too much space especially in landscape mode.

  8. Dear Goodnotes,

    Allow the text to carry over to the next page continuously like in a word document. Where the number lists continue as well. Furthermore, if any new additions where made to a page, the parts that would have previously fit but don't fit anymore can be carried over to the next page automatically. Currently neither the numbers are able to continue, nor am I able to add to a previously page without have notes disappearing.

    I know that Goodnotes is designed for a page to be contained and formatted to a single document, but full page 'typing mode'…

  9. I noticed that in the paragraph settings, one can only have three options of organizing it (center text-align; right or left text-align) and I’d want to know the possibility of adding the “justified text-align”, because this is actually really important for university assignments.

    I’m adding screenshots of how this function appears to me, and the question/suggestion I have.

  10. Please audio recordings need some basically feature to be implemented, otherwise their use is almost impossible.
    1 first of all, there is no point in showing in the time bar all recordings at the same time. Just show the corrent track, otherwise it is almost impossible to navigate to a specific point
    2 It is equally important to have the possibility to rename the recordings. It is so difficult find the right records just from the order or the date

    these 2 are the critical iussues. Other good feature may be add the possibility to export audio files, change the…

  11. The new feature that condensed the pen sizes into one button is clunky and adds two clicks to the process, and you have to change your grip to tap the screen with your finger to get rid of the drop down menu. Bring back the three buttons for pen sizes, at least in horizontal view.

  12. Using study sets is great but it would be even better if you could browse your study set cards using the sidebar or page grid view that way you don't have to scroll back individually among the cards to make a edit to card 2 if the card deck has a lot of cards (i.e. 300+).

    Also being able to mark a card for editing in practice mode, or having an edit button within practice mode that brings you directly to that card to edit.

  14. Please allow us to have options to send things forward and backwards. It would be extremely useful.
    For example, when you first write some text, and then you want to put a sticker or element underneath it. To do this, you insert the sticker or element but it goes above your text awkwardly (since layers are automatically done chronologically). To send the bubble back, you really don't have an option to, so you can either rewrite the text or move the bubble away and use the lasso tool to copy and paste ur text so it is moved to the…

  15. Having the ability to choose preferred eraser size just like how we can change the pen size. Sometimes the larger eraser is too large and sometimes the small eraser is large when erasing small details.

  16. I use GoodNotes daily in landscape and the toolbar takes up nearly 20% of the screen.

    A piece of paper doesn't have a toolbar, and already has much more area than an iPad screen.

    I want to click an arrow to bring it down when I need it as a lot of the time I don't.

    Please implement this as soon as possible so I can get the most out of this brilliant application. Thanks.

  18. Since it takes a lot of time to write flashcards by hand, it would be amazing to have a feature to create flashcards from the notes directly.
    GoodNotes already possesses the ability to recognize the written text. It would be great to add the option to create flashcards by "highlighting"/marking the text you want to create a flashcard with and the app creates the flashcard automatically.
    I feel like this would help a lot of students who have to read a lot so they can save time in making flashcards.

  20. While studying flashcards i often realise I've made a mistake while initially making it. It would be so so useful if there was an option to edit the cards while in study mode. Would make the flashcard feature way more efficient!
