  1. Please add a feature to import PDFs onto a whiteboard.
    This would create the ability to write next to the pages (or slides), reorder the pages, etc.
    A currently available workaround would be to convert the PDF to multiple images and add them individually below one another, which can get annoying pretty quickly.

  3. My study sets get very long and sometimes I cannot remember what cards I have already made, a search feature on the study sets would be very helpful to avoid duplicate cards or to find something specific

  4. Me gustaría que visualización de los archivos tuviera una mayor calidad. Esto se nota, sobre todo, cuando lo comparas con otras aplicaciones u otros lectores de PDF.

    Es difícil de mostrar a través de un texto pero, a modo de ejemplo, probad a abrir un mismo PDF en OneDrive y luego en Goodnotes para Android o Windows. Notaréis una calidad inferior.

    En la imagen adjunta puede apreciarse en las palabras.

    Es un detalle que quería compartir. ¡Gracias!

  6. On Android, if you want to insert something between your handwritten notes — for example, to add a new paragraph or image you can’t select and drag your notes to the next page like you can on the iPad version. This makes rearranging or adding content in the middle of a page quite difficult. It would be great if the Android version supported the same smooth page movement and selection features as the iPad app.

  7. The shape tool in Android in the previous version acts like that in ipad, but after an update in October, it acts differently.
    In the original Android version, when we click the shape tool, draw a rough triangle, it turns to a triangle with 3 straight line edges. We can change the shape of it by tapping it and then drag the vertices. But in the current version, the triangle created by shape tool cannot be change by clicking the vertices. It is now enclosed by a rectangular box. It now act like other note taking app in Android, like…

  8. Alright, fellow GoodNotes users — I need to rally some support on this one because it’s driving me crazy that it doesn’t exist yet. 😅

    Ever been working in a few notebooks at once — maybe class notes, a planner, a side project — then you accidentally hit Home 🏠… and suddenly you’re like, “Where the hell did my other notebooks go?” Now you’re stuck reopening random ones or creating a new doc just so you can see what’s open.

    Yeah. That. 🙃

    We need a “Show All Open Notebooks” button or tab added to the main menu. Something simple…

  9. In previous version I could open more than one window, so I could read my notes in one windows and edit another note in another window at the same time.
    Now my main workflow is broken.

  11. I use my Samsung Tab s10+ for school and eveyone always says that since I'm on Android, I should avoid GoodNotes and instead use something like Samsung Notes. But it's lacking some features like a ruler and it overall has just less options, so I thought to maybe give GoodNotes a try and use it for a day. After that I realised that a lot of things people (mostly on reddit) said, just weren't true at all. It actually performs really great and doesn't lag even a tiny bit. It also has a ruler ---which X Trench Run, I…

  12. The readonly mode can be moved to taskbar for ease of use. I was unable to find it after the update, then saw it was under settings

  13. First of all, I wanted to say that I am using the web app on my laptop and I am loving it!! Send all my thanks to the goodnotes dev team for making such a nice windows port!

    But this issue has been really hindering my work flow. I like to paste stuff from the web into my notes when writing, and in this case paste priority works perfectly (last copied), but if I copy any writing inside the note itself, with selection tool for example, I can't paste anything else even if I copied it after (last copied in…

  16. Up until this "overhaul update" the surface pen worked like it was supposed to. Using the pencil tip would use whatever tool you select and using the eraser side would temporary activate the eraser until you go back to using the pencil tip. Now when you use the eraser, it switches to the eraser tool but stays on it until you reselect the pen tool. This is extremely irritating and I do not want to have to switch platforms when it was literally just working a day ago.

  17. with the new Essential update (on Windows) i've lost the abillity to quickly type notes in class because i have to reset the size of the text every time i open a new text box. It's also quite annoying it keeps jumping to the lasso function after every text box i make.

    I'd like to just keep being in the text function and have an overall font size for the entire document like i could before the update.

    The rest of the updates are really good!

  19. I really liked being able to modify shapes by tapping on it in the shape tool to make small adjustments. I realized today that it stopped working. It is really frustrating when I'm using psychometric charts and can't line my line up with the appropriate one because it autosnaps to be completely vertical. Would love to see this feature back.

  20. Moving documents between folders is a basic feature in any app for efficient sorting and management, the feature should have been in the basic build.
