  1. 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…

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

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

  7. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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?

  14. Here are some improvements I would very much like to see happen (some of which we had but were taken away in the latest updates):

    Text boxes:

    Normally you could adjust the size of the text next to the 'T' symbol which would then stay the same for the entire document, now I have to adjust the sizes with every text box I make (it always goes back to size 24) = see screenshot

    We used to be able to stay in the text function, now every time i close a text box it goes to the lasso function, every…

  15. 1) The app crashes after every update.
    2) I have to reconfigure features like pen colors after every update.
    3) I have to log in again after every update.
    4) The capacity of documents that can be added needs to be increased.
    5) Videos should be added just like images.
    6) Audio recording should be available.
    7) Clicking an icon always switches to the lasso icon. This should be fixed.
    8) Images should be added directly from the browser using drag and drop. We shouldn't have to download images or take screenshots every time.
    9) Adding images requires clicking a…

  19. Many Planners and templates use the IOS Shortcuts app to link to calendars, notes, chatgpt, etc. but this does not work on android devices. I would like to see a functionality in goodnotes that can take operations of the shortcuts app and redirect those actions to the corresponding applications on Android devices.

  20. When I get a new template I have to import the pages one at a time! It's so time consuming and irritating, sqme thing for stickers, covers etc. Please add a feature to select multiple at a time, I've noticed the ios version has a way to do that, or maybe it's because this is not a full app
