  1. The documents shared do not appear across Apple devices. This seems to only be an issue on the device. it appears online. But I need it to appear on each device. All of my documents are backed up to the cloud. How do I fix this issue?

  2. As a student collaborating with others on GoodNotes, comments are used to share additional information or as a way to summarize pages and chapters. Hence, it would be great if it was possible to view all comments that have been written on the documents, without having to scroll to every single page.

  7. Currently, GoodNotes is web based and more like a cloud-based service.

    This needs to change. It needs to become a native Windows app that runs natively on Windows instead through some hoops in order to make it run in a browser and then create some kind of GUI for it to make it look like a native app.

    Add more features like on Apple iPad, inserting and exporting PDF's and pictures, make it cross-platform at least through the browser so people can access their notes on their phones and different devices. More colors like on the iPad.

    As many others…

  10. Please add the option for screen readers to 'read' what the PDF says. It would make this app very well-rounded for those of us with visual impairments.

  11. I want to set the text box setting by my choice.
    For example, whenever I use text box, the settings always get back to "24,black". But I want to set it into "20,red,bold"
    I hope you understand what I mean.

  12. Goodnotes Beta has made great progress in providing features and a great handwriting experience in the Android Beta. I have received an email indicated that the Beta is finished.

    Sadly there are two basic features that are required for any note taking app to be useful to notetakers.

    1. You must be able to take notes when you are not connected to the internet. As a student or a professional, you need to take notes anywhere, any time. You can't restrict yourself to note taking when an internet connection is available.

    2. Taking notes (typed or handwritten) is useless if you can't…

  13. The erase tool memory is poor. Sometimes, the pen marks that were erased appear again after the Goodnotes app has been closed and opened again, which often leads to a messy overlap between the previously erased text and the new text.

  16. We should be able to pinch out the file more than it lets us now, we should be able to go as high as 50% of the size, we should also have a favorite tool bar placed on the side of the screen on right or left to make it easier to reach for

  18. The two items I see need improvement are:

    • Stylus input lag still seems behind the competitors like onenote, penbook, and scrble. I'm using a surface pro 7 with surface pen so I should be a good test subject. While i understand pen lag may never match onenote because Microsoft builds the hardware and software, goodnotes needs to catch up with the others such as penbook.

    • Infinite paper - need this for doing larger diagrams

    • I need text/typing input like onenote. This is the only reason why i stick with onenote as my primary, as i do both handwritten and typed…

  20. sometimes as a student you need to take a picture of the board, and it takes time to open the camera and then go back to GoodNotes to insert that photo. it should exist a tool than can help with that part.
