Add the ability to make 'references' to other notes
For my classes I'm using different whiteboards for each subtopic of my curriculum, and often they're very interlinked. It would be nice to be able to insert a reference to my other whiteboards, maybe in the way of a link to easily open the other whiteboard with possibly a preview of the part I set it to show.

Ridiculously Laggy on Android
Hi,
I have come back to using an Android tablet after a couple of years away & I can not believe how horribly laggy GoodNotes is on BOTH my Android devices.
I spend on average anywhere up to 20 seconds waiting for a note to load - that is unacceptable.
I have no such problems on my iOS devices AND I don't remember having this problem 2 years ago.
Regards

Toolbar on Android obscures the top area of the page
Hello Goodnotes Team,
I’ve encountered an issue in the Android version of Goodnotes that affects writing usability. The top toolbar permanently overlaps the upper part of the page, making it impossible to write on the top line or in the uppermost area of the document.
In the iPad version, this is solved elegantly: the page automatically shifts downward whenever the toolbar is placed at the top, ensuring that no content is hidden and the full writing area remains accessible.
On Android, however, the page does not adjust its position, so the toolbar covers part of the canvas. This makes precise…

Zoom Lock Mode
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.

Persistent Next/Previous Page Buttons
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.

Create merge
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…

Download to device storage for faster loading and offline use
You can make backups, but what would be nice is being able to have them kind of "cached" and saved on the devices storage for faster loading (loading in the app on android is pretty slow) and for access offline, but it still syncs back and forth when connected to internet. Mostly if loading could be faster, there's a lot of lag and it takes forever for things to open on the android app and sometimes on the web app too.

Smart Study Flashcard Template customisable
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.

Make it as an option for the user to choose the pen curser icon
For the people who uses pen tablets and doesn't directly write on the screen, the crosshair icon for the pen or pencil is really difficult to use. It should be made as an option for the user to choose which type and size of curser icon do they want like a simple mouse curser or a pen icon etc.

Make AI tool use local computer/tablet and avoid credits. And remote processing of data sheets.
I do long lists of numbers like factorials and binary etc to get better at math. I like to use the ai to check values and it's impossible with the current credits system. Is there a way to set it to only use local resources and use it without limits for math solving? I currently use this primarily on a tablet, but being able to have the tablet and/or a local PC with the sofware run the AI and have it fluently go back and forth between local resources would be really helpful as I have lots of processing power…

Add image editing tools in Text Files (Windows/Web)
I would like to request basic image editing tools in Text Files.
Currently, when pasting images, there is no way to modify them (for example, crop or adjust them) directly inside the document as it works on iOS.Having the same functionality on Windows and Web would greatly improve the workflow.

Add audio export support on Windows
I would like to request the ability to export audio recordings on Windows.
Currently, it is possible to record audio in Goodnotes, but there is no way to export these recordings outside the app on these platforms.
This is a limitation, especially for students who rely on lecture recordings for studying and review.2 votes -
Improving spell check in Text files Windows/Web
I would like to report an issue with spell check in Text Files.
Currently, spell check does not work reliably: words are often incorrectly highlighted, suggestions are missing or inconsistent, and, in some environments (e.g. Chrome), spell check and extensions do not work at all.
This makes it difficult to catch spelling mistakes while taking notes.
This issue may be related to the current WebView-based editor.2 votes -
Improve typing performance in Text Files (input lag)
Typing in Text Files on Windows is not responsive.
There is a delay when writing or deleting text, especially in longer notes, which makes it hard to keep up during lectures.
This likely comes from the current WebView-based editor.
It would help to improve performance, for example by optimizing rendering or reducing the load on large documents, so typing feels immediate even in long notes.

Add Light/Dark mode option on Windows
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).

Shortcut for Changing Colors
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

Make the Android/Win/Web version faster
When I open Goodnotes it takes up to two minutes to load the page, open my folders and load the document. When switching between documents through the tabblad function it needs to load (it does not on the apple version). It's so annoying, that I stopped using Goodnotes for taking notes in classes, which is a shame since I do pay for this 'app' to actually work. As many others on this page have already told you, this problem would probably be solved if you make this an actual app instead of a webpage...
