  1. I really like the concept of GoodNotes, but the Android version feels very limited compared to iOS. I would love to see the following improvements added to Android:

    Full functionality equal to the iPad version

    Better organization system for notebooks and folders

    More templates and customization options

    Improved stylus writing experience and responsiveness

    Advanced tools such as stickers, shapes, and handwriting recognition

    Better synchronization and overall performance

    I truly believe that enhancing the Android version would make GoodNotes an excellent option for many users like me who rely on tablets for note-taking and studying.

  2. The current Android versionof GoodNotes relies on Chrome for execution and presents recurring issues with PDF export, even for a simple notebooks. This dependency compromises stability and usability, creating a significant gap compared to the native IOS experience.
    The proposal is to develop a truly native Android version, aligned withthe IOS app, eliminating browser dependency and ensuring reliable document export. This would improve performance, reduce errors and provide a consistent cross-platform experience, strengthening user trust and the app's reputation.

  3. Please release out the goodnotes application for Android mobile phone. Especially for all people who haven't an Android tablet because of economic limitations. Like as flexcil and noteshelf applications, they have released out their application on Android mobile phone.

    1. Please allow adding multiple spell-check languages at the same time. Currently, text in other languages is marked as incorrect even though it’s valid.
    2. Please add an option to add custom words to the dictionary, so they won’t be flagged as mistakes in the future.
    3. When drawing shapes (like straight lines or rectangles), the next stroke often jumps to the bottom of the page. This makes it hard to draw anything that requires more than one line.
    4. In text documents it’s possible to insert tables. It would be great if tables could also be added in all other document types.

  5. I’ve been using Goodnotes across Android and Windows for a while, and I really appreciate how much the cross-platform experience has improved. I’d like to suggest a few features that I think would make the non-iOS versions feel even closer to the full Goodnotes experience:

    1. Lower pen latency and more responsive strokes
      On Android tablets (especially Samsung and Lenovo), the pen feels noticeably slower than on iPad. Even a small improvement in real-time stroke rendering would make handwriting feel much more natural.

    2. Full offline notebook support
      Right now, working offline can be inconsistent. It would be great if notebooks cached…

  6. In the past, GoodNotes had a setting that prevented me from interacting with objects such as stickers, notes, or photos without using the selection tool. It seems this setting was removed in the last major update.

  7. Dear Goodnotes Team,

    My name is Praphul P, and I am from India. I am currently building an online educational platform that will launch in the next two months. During my research, I found Goodnotes to be the most powerful and suitable tool for conducting classes, mainly because of its smooth writing experience and excellent web interface.

    However, after the recent update, the interface—especially the new toolbar design—has become difficult to work with. Many of the tools and buttons are now positioned inside the canvas area, which was not the case earlier. This creates a major issue for educators like…

  8. Dear Goodnotes Team,

    I hope you are doing well. I am writing to share feedback regarding a recent change in the selection tool behavior in Goodnotes Web.

    After the latest update, whenever we select elements on the canvas, several options such as Copy, Cut, Transform, Change Color, etc., automatically appear directly on top of the selected content. This makes the canvas look cluttered and makes it harder for both teachers and students to clearly view or reposition the selected items.

    Earlier, the selection experience was much cleaner. When using the lasso selection tool, only the blue dots appeared around the…

  9. Sometimes Goodnotes is very slow. When it comes to switch between notebooks or browsing he directories Goodnotes takes ~10s time to load or to display the new notebook. Could you make it faster?

    When I open notebooks, I often see empty pages (whose content surely exist). I have to reopen them to see everything. Unfortunately, the empty pages are also in the PDF exports!

  10. The new update introduced a new pen menu. Unfortunately, the menu covers the first line of the first page of my notes. It's not possible to write something in this line without moving it manually later on. Please correct this or make the menu movable.

  11. Using Goodnotes in class, it would be important to have a presentation mode as in the iOS version, where only the notes and no user interface is screen casted.

  12. When selecting sketches, you could also flip them. It would be so useful for symmetrical stuff.

  14. 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.

  17. Hi GoodNotes team,

    I’m using GoodNotes for Windows (version …).

    The laser pen becomes blurry only in Whiteboard mode, while it works fine on normal pages.

    My GPU: AMD Radeon R2 540

    OS: Windows 10/11

    Please check if this is related to hardware acceleration or GPU rendering.

  18. Since the latest update, the only pen option is the fountain pen, which I have found really annoying to use - not sure why the biro feature has disappeared?
