  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. En el modo edición abre el vínculo, pero no lo hace en el modo lectura, se queda seleccionado nada más. Además deshacer o rehacer con los dedos no esta funcionando.

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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…

  10. Hi goodnotes team,
    I really want to subscribe to essential plan but finger gestures are basically non existent on web version. Please bring such basic features to the web version.

    Thank you

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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).

  16. 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

  17. 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...

  18. 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…
