  1. I am using Goodnotes on iPad, Samsung Tab S8 and Windows. So far when creating a notebook from a pdf on the iPad and sharing it I can open the notebook on all platforms.

    Today I tried making a notebook on Windows and share it. I can open the notebook on the Samsung tabelet without problems but on the iPad I get an error saying the link is not valid

  3. It would be nice if we can minimize the toolbar or even hide it. The current toolbar is taking too much space especially in landscape mode.

  4. When using the lasso tool to paste objects, it takes about 1 second for the options menu to appear.

    Since users typically don't stay on the same spot for longer than 0.5 seconds when using the lasso tool to select items, it makes sense to have a shorter wait time until the options appear.

    This would make copying and pasting many objects much faster.

    Thank you for considering this improvement!

  5. 1.First of all, we cannot edit when we are not connected to the internet. This is really bad. We should be able to use the application while offline.
    Also, the writing experience with the stylus pen in the android version is not smooth.

    2.You should make a trash bin.

    3.In order to use pen options more effectively, you should make a floating favorite bar and you should not set a number limit on this feature and we should be able to position this bar horizontally or vertically.

    4.There is a 100 mb file size limit when importing notes. This is…

  6. When adding too many flashcards we need a searching tool so we can easily access any flash card we need without having to look through all of them. we need more colors, and themes for the flashcards, adding voice notes would be very helpful as well, and most importantly, swiping between the flashcards needs to be improved.

  8. I am looking for a high-quality notes web application that can run on any platform. While I enjoy using GoodNotes on my iPad, as a Linux programmer, I am unable to edit my notes from my workstation.

    1. It’s hard to scroll though 200 pages of written notes, just to find where the audio was recorded. It would be amazing for us students, if there was an option to see what page/where the audio was recorded.

    2. Please add an update to let us rename recorded audio files.

    3. Change playback speed of the audio.

    4. Add an option that automatically adds the date and time when a new page is created. (This could also help find audio recordings based on date and time of the recording, and the page)

    5. When you draw and hold, it presets into a shape, please…

  9. I use Goodnotes for reading academic papers in college and it would be very useful if I can take notes right next to paper, not in another notebook. So, when I open the pdf, I also want to see the side notes I took in the same page.

  11. When using Presentation Mode with AirPlay set as "Mirror Presenter Page," GoodNotes used to hold the displayed tab when going back into the file interface. This was very effective for avoiding distraction for students when looking for a new file to display. It appears that in mid May with no explanation this feature was removed.

    Now, when pressing the "back" button to browse files, the AirPlay display now shows the file interface, rather than holding the displayed page frozen.

    This feature was critical to how I used GoodNotes in my classroom, and I hope it could be reverted, even is…

  12. Your automatic backup is a great feature My request: Please include https://www.pcloud.com/ in your list of backup locations.

    The backup folder should be user defined.

    The ability to restore GoodNotes notebooks from backup should also be implemented.

    pCloud has a full API: https://docs.pcloud.com/. Maybe https://pipedream.com/apps/pcloud can help you or give you some ideas.

  19. It would be great to have a little image of the current canvas on the side of the page, indicating which part of the canvas is currently shown.

    This would greatly improve overview and usability.
