  2. When using the magnifying option to write notes, it is frustrating to keep moving the box while writing. In the app Notability, the magnifying box would move once the writing reach the end of the box that way the writer can continually write without interruption.This would make taking notes more efficient.

  4. 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.

  5. 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...)

  6. 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.

  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.

  12. 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?!

  13. 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…

  14. I didn't find another way to send a message to your guys, so I just write in here.

    I am an old user of goodnotes in Mac/ios/ipados, but recently I have to move my desktop platform to windows, I just signed up to beta waitlist, but I really need to use it right now

    Is it a way to give me a priority to use the window beta version? thank you

  15. Working on my ipad and taking all of my notes on it, these tend to take up lots of storage, which i don’t mind on my ipad and i want to be able to access every notes even without internet on it.
    However, on my iphone, goodnotes syncs every notes and downloads them locally on my iphone which is problematic because it can quickly take up a lot of storage on the device when you only consult a few documents on your iPhone.

    It would be great if GoodNotes had a syncing option just like the one that iCloud Photos…

  17. I want to be able to use GoodNotes to read PDFs on my Mac. However, it isn't easy to highlight when reading a PDF. Notability has an option where you can hold the selected sentence, and it will highlight it for you. I would love for an option like this to be added to GoodNotes. In addition, selecting texts in PDFs is challenging.

  19. please make Goodnotes available for Android Tablets, it would be the best app for note-taking, especially with so many functions that benefits uni students. Nothing has to change, it can be the same as IOS just please make it happen 😭

  20. Currently, especially in portrait mode, you can barely zoom out of a document like you can on Notability, which is definitely a UX design oversight. At least have an option for this I'd say.

    This would especially be useful for math, where you often move back and forth upwards and downwards to reference previous content, but unfortunately with Goodnotes, you are unable to see large amounts of pages at the same time, or be able to scroll up and down many pages quickly due to lacking this feature.
