  1. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I am writing to share some feedback that I believe could significantly enhance the user experience of your application on Windows.

    Customizable Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts:

    It would be immensely helpful if users were granted the ability to customize their own keyboard and mouse shortcuts. This personalization would allow for a smoother workflow and could cater to the individual preferences and habits of each user.

    Default Cursor Tool:

    I have noticed that the app currently requires users to manually select the cursor or image tool to perform basic actions like selecting elements or moving images. For an…

  2. I like using the study sets, but I’d like to be able to insert images and text into one card. It’d make it way easier for me to format my questions.

  3. With GoodNotes 6 the writing keeps disappearing after you have finished, this is extremely frustrating and wasn’t an issue in GoodNotes 5

  5. Whether through web, chrome web store, linux, or making the android app available to download on chromebooks (in that order of preference), can there please be at lease one option to get this on a chromebook? Thank you!

  6. I want to request adding a "Select and Search" feature in GoodNotes. This feature would enable users to select a word or sentence within a PDF and click "Search" to initiate a search for that text throughout the document.

    This will be a huge time saver and more efficient, especially with study documents that have questions at the end; this will make it easy to look up and review the answers to those questions quickly. Otherwise, especially when I'm using my iPhone on the go, I'd waste time on repetitive unnecessary steps of clicking options, scrolling to find search, and…

  7. Please add the option to change the line thickness of your notes (with lasso tool) without resizing everything.

    This would be very useful when realizing that your notes would look better if the linewidth was smaller/larger after you already took a lot of notes

  8. Add a heart ❤️ icon on each item in the marketplace so that I can return to it and check if there is a discount or if some day I really need the item I will find it more easier because I will already have save it

  9. Adding s function that allows users to create palettes of colours instead of all the pen colours to be in one single menu .This would be really useful in notetaking since it would allow for easier colour coding between different notebooks.

  10. I noticed that the device gets really hot when I use Goodnots. I let a diagnositcs tool run and confirmed it.

    The device does not heat up when i use other Apps or watch videos and the brightness is around 30%.

    I would appreciate if this could be fixed.

  11. For handwritten notes, there's nothing better. But at the moment, the app is geared too heavily towards the iPad, rather than cross-platform.

    I picked up my phone to type a quite to-do list this morning, (to keep everything in one place, rather than using the Apple Notes app), and the text was tiny. Creating a bulleted list was more difficult than it should've been. There was no option to properly format a bullet point list/add indents. And no checklist feature, to add tickable to-dos when you're using a keyboard (rather than an Apple pencil).

    Cross-compatibility for this kind of thing…

  12. I have spoken to many fellow students who all use GoodNotes and agree that an option to have highlights not overlap when continuing marks would be amazing. It is incredibly annoying when I want to continue highlighting after lifting my pen that when I go to highlight more I get a little discolored section because of the highlight marks overlapping. I think it would be an easy quality of life improvement for users of the app like me who like to take clean and beautiful notes.

  14. It would be great to not have to change font and typing size for every text box and instead have a preset option like the pens and colors.

  15. It would be wonderful to record audio of what you're listening to in your earbuds. For example while you're listening to an online lecture in a crowded space.

  16. It would be great if lines snapped into place at the intersections of the checkered template (as with Notability). In addition, I would not add a ruler but a information directly next to a line that shows the length of it (as with Freeform). Finally, I would add an icon to the toolbar with which you can quickly draw a coordinate system.

  18. With the double tap, we select the previous tool, but it would be very nice if we could select just the previous one.
    For example: If I am underlining with two colors (blue and red) I can go from one to the other with the double tap.

  19. 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.

  20. I think, tabs and notebooks should remember several settings, such as the scaling of the notebook, the pen style, and probably several other settings.
