  1. I think it will be a lot easier to draw things when my finger tips or hand (occasionally) does not draw stuff by accident. Samsung Notes has this feature where it blocks the ability to write just with the stylus when connected. I believe most people do not use their fingertips to take notes. Specially a GoodNotes user, since its a premium note taking taking.

  2. Option for the lasso tool to select everything it touches or select only those things which are fully encircled. This will be beneficial for a lot of students who want to just select an element inside and outside a diagram but not the diagram itself.

  5. right now the share link that's viewable on the web can only be opened and viewed in win beta. But since the current beta version doesn't allow you to save the link as a shortcut, i have to save the email that the link came in and look for that email everytime in order to access the share link. I'm assuming the ultimate goal is a shared file such as what currently exists for ios but since that's still not in operation yet, then having a way to access shared web links is an acceptable temporary solve.

  7. es wäre gut wenn man alle Dokumente/Notizbuch in ein Ordner zusammenführen kann in Goodnote mit einem Überschrift mit viele Notizbücher mit den selben Themen die zur Überschrift passen damit es nicht so voll aussieht in dem Hauptbildschirm

  8. It would be great if there was an option to remove page breaks and take notes continuously without adding new pages!

  10. If you delete the paper page, you are not able to convert from a cover template to a paper template. If you select to add a new page, it just adds a new cover template.

  13. I think it would be extremely beneficial to the GoodNotes app if a feature were available to upload animated pictures or files to the app. Majority of people who use GoodNotes are students and having this feature available would make more people/students want to use this app rather than other note taking apps. I have already considered looking into other apps considering GoodNotes doesnt allow this feature. I have found myself wanting this feature way too many times along with other students. I think this would make the app 10 times better.

  14. I think I can speak for many Windows users when I say that a proper Goodnotes app for Windows would be one of the biggest improvements you could make.

    A dedicated Windows app would have so many advantages. It would allow users to work offline, write more smoothly with a stylus, and avoid lag when handwriting, scrolling through pages, or navigating large notebooks. A native app could also make better use of the performance and hardware of Windows devices, which would make the overall experience much faster and more reliable.

    Many students use Windows laptops and 2-in-1 devices for school,…

  16. 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.

  17. 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

  19. Actually I'm using a Samsung Ultra Series which comes with a S pen and an iPad.
    I've noticed that the app isn't avaiable for phones (only some android tablets)
    It could be great if the app allows any android device almost in a "read only" mode, and for dedicated devices (as phones with pen capabilities, or external devices as keyboards, etc) integrates a "full mode" como en iOS.

  20. It now takes so much time for the app to start that I avoid using it. I tested it out and it took around 30 seconds to show my files or the last page opened. It does not seem a lot but during classes, presentations or explanations it can be very frustating
