  1. When you would like to change the colour of the second colour stack an you are already in the first stack you can't double-tab onto the second coulor stack to change it.
    E.g. you already write in the coulour black in your document. Then you would like to have the colour blue (but you don't have it on the other colour stacks) then you would like to change the colour immediately and you doubletab onto the second coulour stack but this does not work.

  2. I love the flash card tool. It would be very nice if there was an option to show the "answer"-side first in the learning mode. For example it would be very nice to learn words of a different language in both directions: French - English and English French.

  3. If we can use dual window in portrait mode, it will very useful and convenient.
    Many students want this function.
    Apple didn't provide top&bottom split view, but if 'GoodNotes' provide this autonomously in software, I will love you guys and girls.

  4. By using finger and holding, it should be possible to move pictures and photos from one page to the next rather than copy, insert on new page, delete on old. That is really awkward.

  5. I currently „struggle“ a lot with this.
    What I mean is, it would be nice if you are able to cut of the end of your paper. For example, in school you have to work on a task and write something down but the next task is a document. Then there’s a lot of space between the handwritten task and the document.
    It would be great if you could be able to shorten the page and not just change the layout, because I often don‘t know in the beginning if I have to use a whole page or just a…

  6. When I move files the top most view of my folder structure is displayed, on whichever sublevel my file currently is saved. It would be helpful to open all folders in the current path so it is easier to see where exactly the file is currently saved as well as to save it on a folder higher in the current tree.

  7. I love GoodNotes, and it's been a lifesaver with returning to grad school. I use it for all of my reading, which is all digitised this term, but as someone with a reading disorder, I would love if there was a way to turn on an accessible reading ruler, ideally with an adjustable size and colour overlay.

  10. Please add a feature that puts text on top of the highlight whenever text is highlighted. Currently, only black colored writing shows up on top of the highlight. With any other color, the highlight goes on top of the words, which means when I write new text, the color of the words look uneven. Thanks.

  11. It is very annoying to me that the text mark-ups I make to a pdf get auto-formatted (e.g., inserted capitalisation I do not want because the text goes to a new line). If I could turn this feature off easily I would do it in a heartbeat. I type what I want to type, and changing it in front of my eyes is incredibly annoying, particularly as it is hard to edit text boxes in general.

  13. I screenshot (with the lasso tool) parts of my textbook (pdf in goodnotes), but I have to screenshot and paste individually.
    I would like to screenshot (and possibly crop at the same time) and have them in a hold (like elements) and then paste them from the hold into my document. I would like it to be a temporary hold to, so an option to delete from this hold when pasted would be cool too.

  14. An automatic ability for handwritten bullet points. Choose when you are taking notes and as you write, the software identifies where you need a bullet point or symbol to make your notes more organized. This option would be in the toolbar and with just a tap on an icon, you could turn this feature on or off.

  15. Add a keyboard echo so users can hear what they are typing.

    Please consider (even if votes are not as high as other requests) as this would help low vision users. A student I work with would benefit greatly from this.

  16. Lasso tool can also change stroke/tool of the already written note. We should be able to change it from Fountain Pen to Brushed one. And, lasso tool can be used in fine shape form like we can in Notability

  19. A feature that would allow you to put transparent lines/ grid over any page and can be added and removed when needed to assist with note taking. This would be incredibly helpful when annotating imported documents such as powerpoint slides. The feature would help people make their notes neat and tidy.
