  1. Toggle Menu like the one in Notion would be a game changer for Goodnotes. It will help me as a medical student to recap and memorize my notes in an organized way, leave Notion and use only one app that has everythig i need.

  2. Currently in Windows 11 if you have a laptop that can work in portrait mode, GoodNotes only allows you to view notes only. It would be nice to be able to edit/create notes in portrait mode instead of only in landscape mode when using a windows tablet in portrait mode.

  3. It would be nice if you use a sticker of a sticky note (for example) and you write on it you can select this sticker with the writing on it without selecting the text underneath the sticker. Just like in real life, you write something on a sticky note, stick it in your notebook and then remove it again without removing what's in your notebook.

  4. We can edit what we want to do with the gesture. For example, a two-finger single tap can do something, and two fingers double taps can do something. For myself, I like to undo with two fingers single tap (I always forgot when I use different apps like procreate...)

  5. Since the beginning it is only possible to have 3 colours for immediate access while writing. The field where they are would be big enough to host 5 colours, without making the section bigger. It makes the usage way more convenient to be able choosing 2 more colours without having to replace the others in the preselection.

  6. It would become much easier to create neat handwriting and notes that are functional and pleasing to look at. A feature in which you can adjust the stabilisation to your preferences and needs (similar to what Procreate offers) would be highly appreciated and helpful, especially to those who struggle with stable handwriting for medical reasons.

  7. Can we have more default paper template, and more sizes for them? It will be great to have small medium and large three sizes

  9. I wish I could remove all the annotations in one document by ONE CLICK!

    I guess that is too much request...rather, simple feature other apps provide.

  10. When recording, you cannot open other files. If you want to search another file, you must stop recording, which is very inconvenient

  12. I think that is essential for students and professors to have the Voice recording feature (that is recently already available on Goodnotes for iPad) on Goodnotes for Windows. This feature that allows you to replay the ink/drawings you made while taking note and the related audio recording is great and it can be the main point of why windows users should choose Goodnotes instead of other millions of note taking apps already available on the microsoft App Store.

  14. Hello! Thanks for the great app. It would be really cool to add a third scrolling mode: instant slide switching. This is sorely lacking. When I make podcasts, I have to erase in the reverse order, and return the elements as the podcast progresses. Switching (seamless) would be much easier

  15. Please add a new type of pen whose color will become darker over time. So that the user can easily identify which handwriting was written recently

  16. When opening the file-browser, one can only get back to the document writing view by opening a new document.
    Very inconvenient.
    Implement a "close button" for file browser an GN jumps bach to the document one was working on

  18. I often work on my laptop and ipad at the same time, adding pages from my laptop files and filling them out on my ipad. I frequently have to turn of and on icloud sync in settings on both devices to make it refresh faster.

    A button to do this automatically while working on a note would be appreciated

  19. There are not more frustrating than take notes of a 1000 pages exam and for no reason, when i go back to re-reading some notes, know that some text or whole pages are disappeared, it think.
    If this app was a 8 with this problem become a 2..
    I've seen other users wrote about this problem, no answers.
    How it happen: for exemple after i wrote 30 pages and the last thing wrote is in 30th pages, if i push back button, disapper text in page 5.. I wrote 25pages after that.. why it go back in page 5?!

  20. I really love the new beta flashcards. I like that now studying takes up the whole page and that the cards seem to have more space to write on. However, I think it would be good if we didn’t have to tap to make the flashcard bigger in order to hardwrite, just like you don’t have to to type. It would be more efficient for the one making the flashcards. Also, there’s no option to easily scroll through the flashcards. In notebooks you can press the button with the squares and see all the pages quickly. I can’t use the…
