  2. Drag is very weird and hard to move around. Also, when I logged back in, all the colors disappeared, so I had to re-enter a new color again, which was very cumbersome. Page loading time is very slow and sometimes it erase some parts of my writing.
    Lastly, when typing, words are omitted due to buffering or the same words come out continuously, making it inconvenient to take notes.
    Why is it still different from IOS? As I know, it's been almost half a year since the Android version was released, but there are no additional functions like the IOS…

  3. I use GoodNotes to store pdfs of my textbooks for college. I bookmark specific chapters, but it is so hard to find what page I am looking for because the thumbnails are an inch tall while looking at the page view.

    I think it would be best to have these thumbnails bigger because it is impossible to read a word from a page without moving my face really close to the screen.

    I attached two screenshots showing how small and unfortunately illegible these pages are. I also use GoodNotes on my iPad, and I love it. I feel like this…

  4. Goodnotes should have full screen presentation mode, specially with the ability to hide toolbar with one tap.

  5. I'm missing an option where you can set the pencil as a finger only to navigate. It's very practicable for reading, so you can navigate with the pencil and switch to highlighting and back, for example. It also helps with clicking on hyperlinks. This way, the user doesn't have to switch between the pencil and their finger all the time.

  8. These three things are much needed
    Auto Detection of Arrows is very helpful in many cases
    Dotted Lines/Dashed Lines are very necessary in Making Diagrams especially in mathematics and physics
    Duplicate feels more easy than copy and pasting the thing, adding duplicate with copy will save time
    Inverting PDF too seems necessary sometimes

    Only because of these 4 functions I have to sometime switch to notability and it does not feel good cause I have paid for GoodNotes

  9. When reducing the tools in the toolbar the tool options window remains the same width, even when there is room to expand to the full window width.
    It would be nice to see all options for a tool when the space is available.

  10. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am a long-time user of GoodNotes on my Macbook and greatly appreciate the app. However, during my usage, I have identified some areas for improvement that could significantly enhance the user experience.

    Firstly, I would like to suggest optimizing GoodNotes for Macbook users, particularly with regards to the writing experience. It would be fantastic if the app could automatically detect that it is running on a Macbook and adjust the writing width accordingly. This would eliminate the need for users to manually adjust settings constantly to achieve the optimal…

  12. This would be super useful instead of having to copy hex codes all the time in order to be able to use the same highlighter color on different devices .

  14. When I connect my ipad to an external display using stage manager, a bug appears. In this situation I have firstly the goodnotes application open and displayed on my ipad and secondly any document or application open and displayed on the external screen. So when I open a new goodnotes document on my ipad or change document via the taskbar, this automatically zooms in on the external screen, placing the application or home screen out of frame on the external screen. This bug is very annoying because it appears every time I open or change a document on goodnotes and…

  15. Can you please enable handwritten note-taking and inserting images in the “add comment” section?
    Typing the comment takes time and limits the note-taking experience to the keyboard tools. The notes also all look the same (there’s no bold or underline or change font options).
    This would allow a smoother and faster experience while using this option. It also combines between the sticky notes/post-it ideas and the already present add comment feature.
    I prefer the add comment in that it takes less space and thus allows a neater page.

  16. Notebook Title tabs are currently equally spaced with a lot of wasted space. Making tab size auto fit the title would allow for more shorter named tabs and quicker switching between notebooks without scrolling. It gives the user choice over tab size by choosing title length.

  20. The history buttons are positioned too close to the Library View button. I usually miss clicked them so instead of going back to my previous edits, I totally LOST them all!

    • Maybe position them to the bottom as shown in the attachment?
    • And/or make the documents preserve their editing history

    Be mindful about handedness though.
