  2. 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.

  3. 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…

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  7. 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…

  8. 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

  9. 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…

  10. Ability to export and select location to be Google Drive on Android, instead of it always being stored locally and then you have to upload it yourself.

  12. 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.

  13. 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!

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. The Windows "app" needs an update please! Instead of having it connected to Edge just have it as its own app like how it is with the iOS app. The web app is too slow and needs to redownload everything everytime you open it

  17. Keyboard Shortcut: Delete Page
    I strongly support adding a keyboard shortcut to delete a page. While I’ve seen the existing “More Shortcuts” request that mentions “delete page,” I’d like to highlight this particular function. Having a quick shortcut (for example, Delete or Backspace) would save time when editing documents and reduce workflow interruptions.
    In my case, I often use a delete-and-rewrite loop as a memorization technique: I recall content, handwrite it, delete the page, and then write it again from memory. A fast keyboard shortcut for deleting pages would make this learning workflow much smoother and more effective.

  18. The iOS version allows you to turn off the cloud backup, but the Android version does not seem to have this capability. We are not allowed to store data in the cloud, so we need this ability.

  19. I use goodnotes on ipad and other note taking apps on my windows laptop, but there is always an extra step for syncing. It would be great to have everything on one site and I believe the syncing functionality is upcoming. HOWEVER, it is very inconvinient to try to write with mice on a laptop. Enabling type full page on windows would help a lot.
