  1. 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.

  3. A toggleable (on/off) grid would make writing on imported PDFs much easier.

    The Zoom Window helps only in small areas, and handwriting often becomes uneven when looking at the whole page.
    A page‑wide grid would keep both handwriting and shapes aligned.

    Additionally, a dot‑grid would be especially helpful because it guides writing without being too visible.

  4. 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

  5. I would like the ability to search across all documents, not just within a single file.
    For example, if I search for a specific word like “rockxgr” and I don’t know which document contains it, the system should return all document(s) where that text appears.
    In short, a global search feature that scans all documents and identifies where the specified word or phrase is located

  6. I know things autosave, but sometimes new things I write does not and then I lose all the things I wrote notes for my classes.

    To help be more precise for users to know for sure their new edits are saved before closing, add a "SAVE NOW" button!! to prevent any of these issues.

  8. It would be great if entire folders could be pinned to the tab bar.
    This would allow quick access to frequently used collections of notebooks without having to open each document individually.

  9. When I write, I use a lined template that helps me structure my text. However, when I want to print the document, I prefer to remove the template. Currently, I have to change it page by page, which is time-consuming. I would like a way to update the template for multiple pages at onc

  10. I noticed that although 'Handwriting Search' and 'Handwriting-to-Text' are listed as features on the Japanese version of the site, Japanese is not actually available in the settings. It feels a bit misleading to promote these features on a localized page if the language itself isn't supported.

  11. Please add the ability to choose the app theme independently from the system.

    Right now, Goodnotes on Windows follows the system theme, but many users may want a different theme inside the app (for example: dark system, light notes for better readability).

  12. Support for Video and Document Files in Folders

    Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I would like to suggest a feature that I believe would greatly improve the usability of your application.

    It would be extremely helpful if users could import and store video files, as well as document formats such as Word and Excel, directly within folders in GoodNotes. Currently, the app is excellent for notes and PDFs, but adding support for these file types would make it a much more complete professional tool.

    In my case, I work as a carpenter, and I often need to present full project information to…

  14. I study with GoodNotes 6 on my Windows PC.

    To highlight with a mouse is not fast if you wanna be accurate. Moroever, if it's a short word, that increases the difficulty.
    When I try it, maybe 30% of times pop up a menu with the options: paste and add comment. It's extremely annoying, and it makes me waste time every day.

    You should configure the option to disable it. Or at least, give us the option to modify the time the mouse click is held down, because right now it's crazy short.

    Thank you

  16. There shouldn't be a character limit for outline titles. For example, I can't use "Comparison of Linear and Angular Motion with Constant Acceleration" as an outline title due to the character limit.

  18. Goodnotes offers a great digital note-taking experience, especially with the ability to annotate directly on books and documents. This feature is highly valuable for students and professionals who want to keep their study or work materials organized and accessible.

    However, there are some limitations that affect the overall usability. One significant drawback is that Goodnotes does not allow writing in a fully formatted document style like a traditional word processor. This makes it challenging to keep notes tidy, symmetrical, and well-formatted, which can be frustrating for users who prefer a more structured layout when organizing their notes.

  19. Can yall pretty please make a feature to where we can choose a default color for the text box that isn’t the black one. I hate having to change my text box to the color I want each time I make a new text box.

  20. It would be great if creating text boxes felt more flexible.
    For example, when holding a modifier key (such as Left Ctrl), it should be possible to draw a text box directly in any size by dragging.

    Additionally, if the text inside the box becomes too large to fit, the font size should automatically decrease so the text always stays within the fixed dimensions of the box.
    This would prevent the text box from resizing itself and keep the layout consistent.
