Zoho notebook Feedback
I already have given long feedback to Taylor Backman in Zoho notebook blog. Here I am suggesting you some alternatives to improve current Zoho notebook design and limitation. This is particularly very EFFECTIVE in Windows and Mac desktop version where you have more flexibility to design. I have annotated my feedbacks in attached 2 images If implemented, It will continue to give clean view but also with great flexibilities. The first image in which star mark indicated my feedback and second with
Ideas of some features to include in the future
I personally love your app, thank you for creating and supporting it, but it would be the best over the competition if it included some of these features. I know it's work and you have limited budget and time, but I hope your team can benefit from introducing some of them in the future. Android (and also iOS app) Automatic number and bullet lists. When you write 1. and hit enter, the system adds 2. and so on Colored text That the images fit the whole smartphone screen size The alarm icon in android
Display 24h time
Hi, I'm getting 12h time display (e.g. "8:00 p.m.") for when a note last changed in Notebook on Android but can't find the settings to change it to 24h time ("20:00"). Is there something that I'm missing? Otherwise I'd like to add this as a suggestion.
Better responsive functionality for different screen sizes
Hi, I use Zoho Notebook Windows & Web app in split screen quite a lot.... especially in my recording booth. I can have notebook scripts on the right of the screen and recording software on the left. The editing menu functions of Notebook cover the first line of the text which makes it difficult to read and you can't click on the first line to edit it. Is there a way to make notes full screen so they take up all the space available? I've attached a screen grab that may explain it better. Best regards
Make text strike through more accessible
I use strikethrough all the time to manage tasks on my projects. It's usually very simple to do it in other note taking apps, but in Notebook, here's what I have to do. Right click on selected text, choose Font, choose Styles, select struck through from list, click apply. Is there a shortcut for this anywhere? It's a little maddening to slow my flow just to cross something off my list. I've attached a gif of me going through the whole process.
Would love to see these two features
A highlighter (with a few colors) to highlight notes within your notes The ability to add tables to notes Thanks
Handwriting/Sketching using planning templates
I 'm glad that Zoho Notebook supports the Apple Pencil for handwriting and sketching. There's a lot of research pointing to this mode of writing and drawing as being more conducive to creativity and introspection, which makes it ideal for journaling, but also for planning when using a planning template system: http://www.planetgorik.com/10-notebooks-help-organise-life/ One digital note app which has got this spot on, is zoom-notes.com. I use it for planning my weeks and days, by pasting the image
Fixed width font
Dealbreaker for me. Can't use a fixed width font? Really, guys, Avenir, Baskerville, Georgia? That's what you came up with? How hard can it be to offer at least one mono font??
Inifinite canvas
I've only recently found Zoho Notebook, and found one feature missing that some others do have (I use Zoho Notebook on my Android phone, tablet, iPad and desktop browser) like Squid (Android). An 'infinite' canvas to scribble on. Squid for instance uses two fingers to move the canvas so you can continue drawing. Another nice to have feature would be 'guidelines' (again, Squid has this) that gives you lines or grids as guidelines.

Notebook for Ubuntu / Linux ?
Hi, Just wondering if you'll be releasing the Electron Notebook app for Linux at all in the future? Similar to what Zoho Mail/Connect/Cliq/SalesIq have done. Thanks for your time. Rgds Jon
Outlines
IMHO, this is an excellent app which would be a killer app if it included the ability to have outlines with various formats and would permit portions of the outline to be moved easily (using drag and drop).
Indentation Shortcut for Desktop
It would be great to get an indentation shortcut for the Desktop App, such as Ctrl + [ and Ctrl + ]
Possible to change font style/size?
Can you not implement font style/size changes? Sometimes when I copy text into a notebook, the font is different, maybe only in size so I have to write it out manually to make it similar like the rest. Kind of annoying. Love the Notebook otherwise and
Table Support
Your Notebook is almost everything I desire seeing in one single app, but there's still one crucial thing missing in my opinion and that is the feature to create or work with tables. Would it be possible to add the support in future updates? It also would be great if it was possible to indent list items by the way.
PDF Niggle
Hi - great work on this project. It finally looks like a note-taking application that I might be able to stick with. Just a niggle for now then: I've installed the Chrome web-clipper giving me the ability to save PDF files straight to my notebooks. This is great, however I've not found a quick way to get rid of the prompt to save these files if I don't want to copy them to a notebook. It can be quite annoying trying to read documents with the 'Copy to Notebook' flag sitting in the corner and I'd
Notebook Web feedback and suggestions
Hi, I just took the Web version of Notebook for a test drive and I must congratulate the team on just how polished this version is. Kudos! I have the following suggestions to make it even better: Table support: I have lots of tables in a lot of my Evernote notes. I absolutely look forward to (and am sure many others out there would love to see) tables in Notebook. Organization: Currently, we can have notebooks and under notebooks, we can group notes together in stacks. That is fine...for now! Please
Please re-integrate with WorkDrive
Hi, I using Notebook for a while it was so great but recent updates about Pro version cause a lot concern! The free 2GB should be for group of users who not using WorkDrive yet, then they should consider using WorkDrive account for 5GB free storage or
Tags -> Autocomplete when typing
Hello, I'm really liking your product having come from Google Keep. I mostly add tags to notes as I write in the editor, and like to incorporate them in the text. While I appreciate the option of creating and adding tags while typing, it really slows down the pace having to interact with the tag pop up window using the mouse. I'd suggest implementing a way to gain focus of that window when creating a tag via editor (Eg: CTRL+SPACE). Then using the arrow keys up and down we could select the tag wanted
Notebook Stack
Hi Everyone I Hope you´re fine, I´m sorry if this idea was posted before (I made a search but I haven´t find anything related). So, Having the possibility of stacking notebooks would be an interesting way to order notebooks that correspond to the same topic. Have a nice day!
Teacher would like to teach with Zoho Notebook
I am a math teacher and use an iPad and apple pencil to teach with. Zoho would be amazing if I could use my mac to make my notes, my iPad to work and present my notes, and students chromebooks to use my blank notes to take their notes. I cannot figure out how to write on my note templates (PDFs). I can see this being great if that was worked out. Right now I use Notability which is great except it will not work on chromebooks. When writing on PDFs it would be great if the following features could
Please add reminders and a todo-list widget!
Please add reminders and a todo-list widget! Wait... And PDF support (viewer and highlight), and bookmarks thumbnail preview (for links). Thank you Santa!
Creating PDFs of notebooks & tags
Hi there, I would highly appreciate a feature that allows me to create PDFs of entire notebooks and tags (the notes attributed to a certain tag). Please consider my suggestion :)
Keyboard shortcut for search
Hi, Just a quick suggestion for a new keyboard shortcut to open the search page. It would be nice to do a CTRL-F and open the search page a little quicker. Great job on the app. Rgds Jon
Colored Tags
I just started geting to use around Zoho Notebooks, I love all its incredible features, but there's one thing I would love to see, as for TAGS, I would love a way to see COLORED tags instead of having to put a emote next to it. like this. I would love
Multi page note
Please add new function of multi pages note I'm using zoho app on ipad pro and many times the idea spread out more than one single page. Right now it collect many single pages in one notebook but it would be easier to be able to add many pages in one note and be able to flip through the pages. Pls considering it
Drag and Drop
Drag and Drop Audio, pictures, and common types of files. EG- Audio Post by drag and drop mp3 Ability to attach more than just the supported file types would be great EG - Attach at pptx or a pdf to a note I would also appreciate my content stored locally so I can backup or share(import/export) it to other people
Zoho Notebook Desktop for Windows 7
I believe it would be great for the standalone Zoho Notebook Windows version if it is compatible and released for Windows 7! The Microsoft store is only compatible with Windows 10 and users like me who doesn't have Windows 10 will get dissapointed, and I am dissapointed about this. I hope you lovely guys at Zoho considers!
Photos in Zoho Notebook?
Hi, first I'd like to say that before Zoho, I use word, so with its minimalist features, it's only expected that it would have less. In word, I drag pictures and it aligns with the paragraphs, sentences, perfectly. But unfortunately, you can't do that in Zoho. Yet? Will be there an improved dragging option for the photos on WEB?
Feature request: auto-group notes by create date
With the recent improvements to Notebook, and realization that Google Keep ain't gonna do what I need, and ios 12 bringing more "shortcuts" to my iPhone -- I am using Notebook more. I use it for my "brain dump." Everything I think of to do, or remember, or follow-up on goes into Notebook. My notebook would be a lot cleaner if I could automatically group all notes by creation date. That way, I can go in and deal with all yesterday's items, or last month's items, all at once. Just an idea... Thanks
Some wishes for future updates
1. Adding text in an image Note card 2. Delete all items at once on the checklist 3. Scroll Note cards within the preview 4. Individual Notebook widget
Guidelines Please !
Hi ! Just discovered you app, and I love that it's syncing across my ipad, my mac and my android phone. Everything is great, the only thing missing is guide lines. People love to take notes with their stylus/Apple Pencil, and lines would be so easy to implement. Cheers !
Boards within a board
I'm a massive fan of Milanote but trying to ween myself off it, to stay within the Zoho ecosystem. Noteboards are a great improvement, but one feature that would improve them a lot is the ability to add a Noteboard to a list in other Noteboard. That let's
URL under info from clipping
Hello, is it possible to also include the source (url) of a web clipping in the info of the note?
Audio Sync With Text
A very useful feature that exists in other note apps like Notabilty, Pear and OneNote, is to be able to record and type at the same time, the text is then linked with the recording, if you want you can find a place in the recording by clicking on a word. This feature is handy in meetings, classes and much more! Would love to see it in Zoho Notebook. Thanks
Group cover page
Hi! I just started using Notebook and really love it. When I group several notes (or notes and photos), sometime the note I want on top is not. I know in the app you can leaf through the notes, but I want to be able to identify one note as the "cover note". That would be a huge help! Also, it would be great to be able to edit photos after you have saved them. I forgot to rotate one and now I can get it to be "right side up". Thanks!
Access Zoho Notebook notes within Writer
I have been experimenting with Notebook and I use Writer. I'd like to access selected Notebook notes in Writer. Quickly and easily! The two apps should talk to one another if they are both open. I know I can copy a link from a Notebook note and paste it into a Writer doc, then Writer opens it in a browser -- slow and clunky. Google Docs can see Keep notes, which is a halfway solution at least. MSWord and OneNote play moderately well together, but here's an opportunity to do better. Academics, speakers,
Offline editing and other features
First of all, good work Zoho team. Here, I have some suggestions for you, Make the offline editing improvements, currently the app can't make changes in the note unloaded in the phone memory. Make possible multi-note view as users have to manage many notes at the same time, this feature mostly needed in web app or windows desktop as I feel the need of it many times while managing the notes. And please launch your windows software as you are done developing it because there are many limitations in
Most recent
Have you considered implementing a "Most recently opened" feature in Notebooks? I would like that. Otherwise thanks for a great product
Web Clipper Reader View cannot save images
