please make the blue UI bar thing at the top customizable in color
it is so insanely distracting when i try to work and really ruins the otherwise aesthetic look of the app. and the neon cyan logo has the same affect. ive seen so many other people with the same complaint, i dont really understand why nothing has been done to change this when it seems like a pretty simple change and would really please so many of your users and thats what this page is for?

Reworked app update algorithm
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…

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)

Restore previous window position of Goodnotes for Windows
When I launch Goodnotes for Windows, the window always opens in the default position.
Ideally, I would like it to start maximized on my secondary monitor. However, even if I move it there, maximize it, and then close the application, the next time I launch it, it still opens as a small window on my primary monitor.
Having to rearrange the window every time I start the app has become quite frustrating. As a result, I am currently using Goodnotes for Web installed through Vivaldi's PWA feature instead. However, I would prefer to use Goodnotes for Windows.
To make that…

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…

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.

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

Import
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…

Please, add a setting to disable the pop up menu (paste/add comment)
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

GoodNotes avaible for android phones
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.5 votes -

Longer texts for outlines
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.

wanted to use great features in japanese actually
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.
