  2. The two-finger swipe gesture used for page navigation frequently triggers the pinch-to-zoom function unintentionally. This is a recurring source of friction — the app zooms in mid-navigation, requiring the user to manually reset the zoom level before continuing.

    Request: Introduce a Zoom Lock toggle that disables pinch-to-zoom when activated. This should be accessible quickly — either from the toolbar or a floating button — so users can enable it during long note-taking or reading sessions where zoom is not needed. When Zoom Lock is on, two-finger gestures should be interpreted exclusively as page-turn inputs, not zoom triggers.

  3. Dear Goodnotes Team,

    I would like to suggest an enhancement to Goodnotes for Android that I believe could be particularly valuable for professional users: official support for large-screen foldable smartphones, such as the new HONOR Magic V6 and similar devices.

    I am a long-standing Goodnotes user and use the platform extensively in my professional clinical practice. I have a very large Goodnotes library containing clinical records accumulated over many years, and Goodnotes has become an important part of my daily workflow.

    I am currently considering the HONOR Magic V6 as a secondary professional device. Although technically classified as a smartphone,…

  4. Bonjour à tous ! 👋✨

    J'adorerais que Goodnotes propose davantage d'outils de création graphique et de mise en page, comme Canva, afin de pouvoir concevoir entièrement ses propres carnets, agendas, planners et blocs-notes directement dans l'application.

    Voici quelques fonctionnalités qui seraient vraiment intéressantes :

    • 🎨 Des modèles personnalisables : agendas, carnets, planners, listes, calendriers et pages décoratives.

    • 🖼️ Une bibliothèque d'éléments graphiques : illustrations, icônes, formes, cadres, autocollants et décorations.

    • ✍️ Des outils de texte avancés : davantage de polices, effets, couleurs, alignements et espacements.

    • 📐 Une mise en page libre : déplacer, redimensionner, aligner, grouper et verrouiller les éléments.

    • …

  5. Bonjour à tous ! 👋

    J'adorerais que Goodnotes intègre davantage de fonctionnalités d'organisation inspirées de Notion, tout en conservant la possibilité d'écrire à la main, de dessiner et de personnaliser ses carnets.

    Voici quelques fonctionnalités qui seraient vraiment pratiques :

    • ✅ Des cases à cocher interactives pour les listes de tâches.

    • 📅 Des calendriers et des plannings intégrés.

    • 📊 Des tableaux personnalisables avec des colonnes et des lignes.

    • 🔗 Des liens entre les pages et les différents carnets.

    • 📂 Des pages et sous-pages pour mieux organiser ses contenus.

    • 🏷️ Des étiquettes et des catégories pour retrouver facilement ses notes.

    • 🔄…

  6. Hi Goodnotes Team,

    I am using Goodnotes on a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. While I appreciate the expansion to Android, two major issues severely limit the experience compared to iPadOS:

    Missing Study Sets: It is very frustrating that Study Sets / Flashcards cannot be imported, created, or used on Android. This feature is essential for my daily studying.

    Need for a Native App instead of a Web Application: The current Android version feels like a stripped-down Web App (PWA). We as Samsung / Android users need a true, native Android application with full feature parity to the iPad version, reliable offline…

  7. After creating a shape (such as a square) be able to highlight it with the lasso tool and have the option to centre it or position it in different parts of the page.

    I attached an image of how it could look below (png & jpg)

  8. A simple upgrade that would help a lot with productivity and maintaining focus during my study sessions is shortcuts to change pen colors. I thought about using the numbers for it relative color in the toolbar, so number one would select the first color, number two the second one and so on.

    I love to use specific colors for the same type of information or indicating something, and selecting manually the colors every time really gets my wrist tired overtime lmao.

    I'd be really grateful if the devs can give me some of their work time to work with this

  9. Actually I'm using a Samsung Ultra Series which comes with a S pen and an iPad.
    I've noticed that the app isn't avaiable for phones (only some android tablets)
    It could be great if the app allows any android device almost in a "read only" mode, and for dedicated devices (as phones with pen capabilities, or external devices as keyboards, etc) integrates a "full mode" como en iOS.

  10. I just updated the Goodnotes app on Windows from the Microsoft Store, only to find another update waiting for me inside of the actual app.
    You might ask yourself "Hm, that's odd. Why would it do that?" - easy answer: the app is still a web app just hidden in a native Windows app's window, meaning while you do get the native Windows title bar for the app, the app is still the website.

    The team seriously needs to streamline this updating progress, and there are two ways to do that:

    1) Turn the app into a true native Windows…

  13. Title: [Windows] Add a Keyboard Shortcut for Inserting a New Page

    Please add a keyboard shortcut to insert a new page in Goodnotes for Windows.

    Currently, users must manually click the "+" button to add a page, which interrupts the handwriting workflow.

    I would like to suggest:

    1. Ctrl + Enter to instantly insert a new page after the current page.
    2. An option to customize this shortcut in Settings.
    3. Support for the shortcut while using a stylus.

    As a Windows PC user who frequently takes handwritten notes, this would greatly improve productivity and make note-taking more seamless.

    Thank you!

  14. I would love to see improvements to how documents are displayed, organized, and searched within Goodnotes.

    1. Custom Document Previews and Descriptions

    Currently, documents can appear as plain white thumbnails, which makes browsing through a large collection unnecessarily difficult.

    I would love the ability to add a short description or overview of what a document contains, directly visible in the document library.

    For example, I could have a document covering:

    • BP strategies
    • Skydiving techniques
    • Equipment and safety procedures

    Rather than having to open the document to find out what it contains, I could immediately see a preview or description of…

  15. Hi Goodnotes Team!

    I would love to see a feature that allows users to save frequently used formulas and quickly reuse them through autocomplete, with the ability to enter or change variables directly.

    1. Custom Formula Autocomplete

    For example, I could save the following formula:

    BP = x₁ + g + 2kr

    Whenever I type "BP", Goodnotes would automatically suggest the complete formula, allowing me to insert it by pressing Tab or accepting the suggestion.

    Ideally, users could create their own library of formulas for different subjects or courses.

    2. Interactive Variable Input

    This is the part I would find…

  17. I would like Goodnotes to add a Merge or Group Strokes feature.

    For example, I can draw a bracket or box shape using several separate pen strokes. Visually, the strokes are meant to work together as one connected shape. However, Goodnotes still treats each stroke as separate. If I select only one part of the shape, the rest of the bracket stays behind.

    What I want is a way to connect multiple strokes together with an invisible link, so they behave as one single object. After merging, selecting any part of the shape should select the whole merged object. Moving…

  19. Hello,

    It would be nice when you could change the template of the study set flascards. Just like in a normal textbook with the same standard options, like the three colors and grid, lined and others.

    English is not my first language. Sorry for spelling or grammar mistakes. My mother tounge is german.

  20. On Android, navigating between pages in a long document currently requires a two-finger swipe gesture. Across documents of 30–50+ pages, this becomes physically fatiguing and interrupts the writing/reading flow.

    Request: Add persistent on-screen buttons (next page / previous page) that allow single-tap navigation between pages. These should remain visible at all times during document view, without requiring the toolbar to be active. An optional toggle to show/hide them in Settings would also be useful for users who don't want the UI clutter.
