    Thank you for the suggestion.


    This is in our roadmap. In the meantime, we recommend using the Copy & Paste page feature as a workaround to have a similar result.


    We understandable that this is not the most efficient solution, but please know we are working towards brining the "move" feature in our Android & Windows app.



    Thank you,

  3. I am filled with rage since you added comments when pressing long on the display, because now the whole app is useless. DIDNT YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU TRY TO WRITE WITH A PEN, YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR WRIST ON THE DISPLAY, SO NOW EVERYTIME I WANT TO WRITE, THE APP WANTS TO ADD A COMMENT AND I CANT WRITE BECAUSE OF IT. THANK YOU FOR KILLING THE APP FOR HIM. FUCK YOU GUYS.

  4. Many digital stickers, labels etc that I download from the Etsy store come with a good notes preloaded sticker book. I would like to be able to utilize that instead of having to use all individual pngs. It would be amazing to have a side by side feature where I could just drag and drop out of a nice and neat organized sticker book that was already put together for me when I downloaded it

  5. I am able to upload pdf but writing on pdf is slow and some texts are slow to load. This occurs even after compressing pdf file to smaller file size.

  7. Improve the handwriting recognition speed. Currently the pen feature will lag behind writing unless you write slowly, and this leads to very messy handwriting.

  8. A few days ago I tried to share a pdf document with hyperlinks to a friend who uses another platform for notes but none of them worked

  9. I suggest to remove the 'add comment' function. It's very annoying as it always pop out when I'm writing notes

  10. Currently comments can be added to Goodnotes documents but cannot be resolved/deleted or even edited. It's frustrating to have a black and white "1" or "2" sitting on my document without any way to remove or change it.

  11. The scanning function with a camera for Goodnotes Windows is an innovative idea that can enhance the productivity of the application. The feature allows users to capture documents using their for example Surface camera and import them directly into Goodnotes. This eliminates the need for additional scanning software, saving time and effort.

    With this feature, users can quickly scan important documents such as receipts, contracts, and notes, and have them readily available in their Goodnotes app. The scanning process is simple and easy to use, with the camera automatically detecting the document's edges and adjusting the image quality to ensure…

  13. The ability to record in the note and have it write it out as a text format like on Google Docs speech to text, or the Google pixel recording app feature. This would be great for people with disabilities as well.

  15. This feature exists in every notes app.
    When a photo is imported you should be able to crop the part you are interested in (using a lasso tool, rectangle selector and many other selectors), and drag it as if it were a new photo.
    This is used for example when an assignment is given in a PDF file, and the user would want to crop out each question and place them at the top of each page.

  16. When I open a document and scroll with one finger it draws. When I tap with my stylus (spen) on the paper and then use my finger to scroll, it works and doesn't draw anymore.
    So basically to get palm rejection I need to tap my stylus on the paper.

    Maybe it's better to have a dedicated palm rejection button in a settings menu.

  17. As someone who uses my S8 tab alot for my digital planning I feel as though some font options would be a great addition to the android goodnotes app. It would also be nice to be able to import custom fonts, as I feel like this makes it feel more personal and enjoyable. I have always loved to be able to customise my stuff.

  19. I would like to have the option to have more than 3 default color at the top. 6 or 7 preset (favorite/saved) colors would be more adequate to avoid going to the color menu each time.

  20. I want to be able to click a file from the file explorer window, have it open in Goodnotes, and have all of my edits savable directly to the file in its location in the file explorer. This would be a useful feature for college students, academics, and anyone else who regularly reads PDF files.

    Otherwise Goodnotes needs some kind of file organization system rather than all of my potentially thousands of imported PDFs on the same scrollable page. I could make Goodnotes work if I could make a folder for every class or project.
