  1. Fix windows app and make it run NOT through edge. There is no reason that IOS should have so many more features and run so much smoother, even on older, less powerful hardware. It makes the experience TERRIBLE and is honestly unacceptable for a paid app in 2025. Disappointed that I already paid for a year of this laggy crap.

  2. Yes, Kegel exercises can be helpful in treating certain types of erectile dysfunction (ED). These exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support key functions in the lower body, including circulation and muscle control. When these muscles are weak, they may contribute to challenges with maintaining firmness. Strengthening them through regular Kegel exercises can improve blood flow and help with better physical response. visit at mavavilla.com for more info.

    To do Kegel exercises, locate the pelvic muscles by stopping the flow of urine midstream—those are the muscles you need to target. Tighten them for a few seconds, then relax. Repeat…

  3. The part of the list of open documents takes up too much space.
    Basically, the top part wastes more space than necessary.
    It would be nice to be able to adjust the width of the top bar part to be shorter in the settings.

    [The sentence may be strange because of the use of a translator].

  4. Include a line or cursor (upside down T) so users can line washi tape up with paper line or other lines. In the current state, the user has to guess to align washi tape, delete, and try again, or apply the washi tape, lasso it, and then move it. It will be easier to include a cursor so washi tape can be applied straight the first time.

  5. Automatic page centering is visually pleasing, yes. However, page centering (meaning you are unable to zoom anywhere you want to (for example, having 70% space and 30% page on your screen)) is very impractical. It means you have to move your arm and wrist around to the very left of your device and then to the very right when writing full pages. This is not only very tedious and strenuous on muscles, but it is also genuinely very annoying to deal with.

    Make page centering or realignment an option, there's a reason why most, if not all, drawing programs don't…

  6. In folder A there is a document on the brain
    In folder B I can also access and see the same document on the brain
    This way I don't have to move it from the original folder (A) but I can add it to other folders that are relevant to the topic.

  7. Dear Goodnotes Team,

    I’ve been experiencing persistent issues with palm rejection while using a 3rd party stylus on Goodnotes, and I wanted to bring this to your attention.

    While writing with my palm resting on the screen, unintended actions frequently occur — the floating menu (cut, copy, paste, etc.) often pops up, and in some cases, it even selects underlying text or content where my palm touches. This leads to the stroke I was making getting disrupted or vanishing altogether.

    This not only causes missing portions in my writing but also severely hampers the flow and accuracy of note-taking, which…

  8. Hi team,
    Could you consider adding a "Free Up Local Space" feature, similar to macOS iCloud and windows OneDrive file management? This would allow users to remove local copies of documents while keeping them in iCloud, saving device storage. Files could be re-downloaded when needed. Thanks!

  9. We need a box for FAVOURITE TEXT STYLES.
    For my documents I use different fonts but each font is associated with a different text size and line spacing. it's very difficult for me to change the text and every characteristic each time in order to have the style I want, instead it would be very useful if I had a box with my favourites.

  11. Improve pencil drawing quality - currently too light to use and must be part of pen options rather than standalone as present.

  12. Hi Goodnotes team,

    I love using Goodnotes for creating my presentation slides — it's intuitive and works really well for my workflow. However, I still have to export my slides as a PDF and import them into PowerPoint in order to present them properly. This step feels unnecessary and could be avoided if Goodnotes had a few key presentation-friendly features:

    A presenter mode where I can see my personal notes while the audience only sees the slides
    Simple animations or progressive reveal of elements during the presentation
    Remote control support, e.g., using a smartphone as a presenter or clicker
    Adding…

  13. I would like to suggest a feature that would improve visibility and clarity during writing sessions, especially when using screen-sharing or presenting.

    While in Pen Mode, it would be extremely helpful to have an optional highlighted circle or pointer around the pen tip as I write. This would act like a visual guide, making it easier for others to follow the writing in real time, and for the writer to keep track of the precise pen location, especially on larger screens or when using a stylus.

    This feature would be similar to a cursor highlight or visual pointer found in…

  16. The App loads for five seconds every time I switch from another app to Goodnotes that’s incredibly annoying and Please, Please fix this. Generally the App is really slow even on a fast device.
    I think you should fix such problems first instead of inventing the 3rd AI feature or a nasty animated circle around the active tool. I mean wtf nobody needs this. I just want a working app.

  17. I wish a copy-and-paste feature of notebook to another folder, as a single action.

    When I need to make copies of a file and put them in multiple folders, I have to repeat the operations: 1. Copy the file, which creates a copy under the name of 'Copy of foobar', 2. Move it to a folder, 3. Change the name of the moved file to delete the prefixed 'Copy of'.
    This is a very awkward way of making multiple copies. I would like to operate like the Move operation: Long tap on the notebook -> Seclect Copy-To -> Select the…

  18. I wished I could insert equations into my flashcards in the text part. Just like how I would insert an equation in LaTeX... Since GoodNotes allows to convert handwritten text to LaTeX equations, it would be nice to insert the LaTeX code directly into the flashcard for studying formulae.

  19. Dear programmers,

    Please, Allows us to use shortcut to change colors while using Keyboard for take notes. That’s really useful… we need to use hand/pencil to change colors and this take some time.
    Example: cmd + r (change to red) or maybe we could setup our preferences though
    Bye bye bets programmers in intire swift world. Haha
