  1. I love reading PDFs with GoodNotes on my tablet, because it is comfortable, and I can highlight and scribble notes.

    Sometimes I'm reading a paper and it will keep referring to a figure on a previous page. I would love to temporarily lassoo that figure, and keep it as a floating window/overlay while I'm otherwise normally scrolling, reading, and marking the document.

    Think of this as similar to the "Document split view" of some word processors, but much more flexible, and taking much less space away from the main document view.

  3. When in use, it often leads to accidental finger touches that trigger the long-press function for adding comments, thereby interrupting the writing process. This issue occurs very frequently and significantly affects the user experience. I hope a switch can be added to disable this function.

  5. I would like you to implement the "justified text" since it is a very useful function especially for those of us who are in college and have to write many essays. It seems like a very simple function that can be forgotten but it is definitely very useful. I would appreciate it if you implemented it soon <3

  6. I love to use the text tool but currently it is quite inconvenient to use. I would love to define my own text field styles and save them to reuse instead of always defining them again. Also it would be great to have a color picker in the style section so I don‘t need to copy the HEX Codes from e.g. Pen tool where the color picker is present.

  7. It seems basic, but on Android, the web, and iOS, we're not allowed to view two Good Notes files at once. This is quite important, because sometimes you use two PDFs to study at the same time, and if it doesn't let you open two documents on the same screen, it becomes very difficult to study from this app.

  8. At present, there are only fixed A4, A3 and other sizes, which cannot meet the needs of users. Even if the manuscript paper template is imported, the template can only be the built-in size of the software, so it is necessary to support the parameters of the custom manuscript paper, such as: size, upper, lower, left and right margins, background and line format and color, etc.

  11. We have two gesture options, squeeze and double tap. I would love to be able to set squeeze to bring up/put away the eraser and double tap to switch between my two most recent tools, but ignore the eraser as an option. That way i can go back and forth between my pen a highlighter without having the erase override one. Example: highlight something, double tap to write with the pen, squeeze to erase a mistake, squeeze to return to pen, double tap to go to highlighter.The highlighter/pen sequence could be totally separate from the eraser function.

  13. Please make the pen settings like tip sharpness, pressure, sensitivity, etc. Customised or tailored as per user choice.

    Pen features in Freenotes app provide good handwriting and such should be incorporated in the Goodnotes app too for better user experience.

    Please upgrade these features in the next update.

  14. I’d love to see spaced repetition integrated directly into the flashcard feature in GoodNotes.

    Currently, flashcards are static—you flip them manually without any learning algorithm behind them. If GoodNotes could implement a spaced repetition system (SRS) like Anki or RemNote, it would massively boost its usefulness for students, med students, language learners, and anyone prepping for exams.
    Why it matters:
    Spaced repetition is proven to improve long-term memory retention. Right now, users have to export their flashcards to other apps to use this method — integrating it natively would keep everything in GoodNotes and streamline the learning process.

  16. (Screenshot) Basically if I highlight/write on my iPad it won't show aligned on my computer but the stuff I do my computer will show correct on my computer only. Is very frustrating, it keeps happening and it happened on my friends goodnotes too!

  17. Subject: Suggestion: Option to disable auto-switch from eraser to pen

    Message:
    Hi team,
    Could you please add an option to turn off the auto-switch from eraser back to pen?
    It would make the workflow more flexible. Thanks!

  19. Issues

    1) Within image annotation misalignment after cropping or scaling the image
    When an image is cropped or scaled after annotations (e.g., underlines or highlights) have been added, the positions of those annotations become misaligned. For example, underlined text on an image may no longer align correctly after resizing. Can the developer team ensure that cropping or scaling operations preserve the relative position of existing annotations. A good analogy to this is a stick note, where resizing the sticky note shouldn't affect where the illustrations on top of the sticky note is positioned.

    2) Lasso Tool affects entire image and…
