  1. Have the shapes tool its independent color and line selection.
    The shapes tool uses at the moment the current color and line variant from the previously used pen. If you want another color or make it dotted that's fine.
    BUT if you change back to pen, the pen adapted the settings.
    You would have to change everything back from like orange dotted to blue single line before you could write again if you chose that for the shape.

  2. The recently added tape feature now allows us to reveal hidden content by tapping on the tape. However, I think it would be very convenient if there were a single button to hide or reveal all the tape on a single page or within an entire notebook.

  4. The iOS version allows you to turn off the cloud backup, but the Android version does not seem to have this capability. We are not allowed to store data in the cloud, so we need this ability.

  5. There can only be 3 colors on the tool bar. If you could make it where we can increase that amount, like on iOS, or at least give us 5-8 instead of 3, my life would be complete.

  6. My study sets get very long and sometimes I cannot remember what cards I have already made, a search feature on the study sets would be very helpful to avoid duplicate cards or to find something specific

  9. On the web version, when the caps lock is on, the keyboard shortcut features do not work until caps lock is disabled. Can you make it so the function/method that recognizes keyboard shortcuts ignores the case and still works when caps lock is on. Thank you

  10. if I have multiple voice records in one file, there should be like an icon\sticker or something to let us play each recording associated with its specific page

    ex: i have a recording to explain a topic but i have no indication in that page that there is an audio with it unless i name the recording page(blank)

  12. Hi! I’m a GoodNotes Windows (Windows Surface Pro) user and I love the app, but I’m experiencing consistent jitter/tembleque when writing slowly or making small diagonal strokes with a stylus (Windows Ink).
    This issue is especially noticeable during handwriting and affects the precision of letters.

    I would really appreciate if future updates could include:

    improved stroke smoothing for Windows Ink

    better handling of slow strokes and diagonal lines

    an option to adjust smoothing levels manually

    the same Stroke Engine improvements already available on iPadOS, if possible

    These changes would make handwriting on Windows much more natural and stable.
    Thank you…

  14. I appreciate all you did for android. I want to ask you to add the possibility to "open with GoodNotes" any type of docs. Also importing word/excel/ppt would be helpful, or maybe transforming them into pdf or text

  15. Is goodnotes simply being left to die on windows? My pen no longer accepts changes in settings (if I change line style, weight, or type of pen no change is enacted) and palm detection is awful.

  16. In recent months, Goodnotes has started to not recognize my hand as a separate entity from my Surface Pen. It only occurs in the pen and shape tool. There is NOT a palm detection setting to change this.

  17. Keyboard Shortcut: Delete Page
    I strongly support adding a keyboard shortcut to delete a page. While I’ve seen the existing “More Shortcuts” request that mentions “delete page,” I’d like to highlight this particular function. Having a quick shortcut (for example, Delete or Backspace) would save time when editing documents and reduce workflow interruptions.
    In my case, I often use a delete-and-rewrite loop as a memorization technique: I recall content, handwrite it, delete the page, and then write it again from memory. A fast keyboard shortcut for deleting pages would make this learning workflow much smoother and more effective.

  18. it's really annoying to have to leave the pen to scroll with the mouse because the scrolling bar is invisible. WHY?! i want to scroll with the bar on the side without putting away the pen to grab the mouse and scroll with the wheel. yes the scroll bar reappears when i scroll, but it's useless because it disappears after 2 seconds and does not appear in any way other than wheel scrolling with the mouse. VERY ANNOYING! scrolling should be available in few ways (like Adobe Acrobat) but here for some reason you only can scroll with the wheel.…

  19. When it comes to Goodnotes for Android, I've been using it for approximately two weeks. What I want is the ability to choose recently opened documents using a top bar similar to that found in iOS and a fountain pen pan tool. I'd want to have tip flatness and add the desired color set. I'm hoping it will be improved so that it is beneficial to the majority of people.

  20. It would be nice to be able to duplicate whiteboards. Currently this option is greyed out. You can duplicate notebooks, but you can't duplicate whiteboards.
