  1. In the iOS version you can select a portion of the screen with the lasso tool and make a screenshot. The screenshot can then be pasted into any GoodNotes document pressing and holding a point on an opened document.
    This functionality is particularly useful for doing homework and copying the exercise description on to a new page in order to work on it.

  2. The Control+p short cut right now just tries to print some screen that says to switch to desktop view to facilitate easier editing. Without the ability to print things like solving excercises for school are impossible to do using GoodNotes.

  3. The ability to upload a PDF file to GoodNotes and then the ability to annotate, write and draw over it, etc. and then being able to export or send it to one's cloud service of choice, like GDrive.

  4. When writing with the pen, sometimes GoodNotes will stop registering it for a short bit, and cause my handwriting to look very off. This doesn't appear to be a Windows issue since Microsoft OneNote does not have this occur.

    Otherwise, I think the app is in a good state for a beta, and that this being fixed along with adding other essential features (text, importing images, pen settings, etc) would make it a great program!

  5. It would be good to add the option to type with keyboard, while also having the option to draw. Right now, its just the option to draw which yes i have a touch screen windows, but i would rather type and draw diagram!

  6. As a student collaborating with others on GoodNotes, comments are used to share additional information or as a way to summarize pages and chapters. Hence, it would be great if it was possible to view all comments that have been written on the documents, without having to scroll to every single page.

  7. I am planning to use this app with surface, but when I use the surface pen, it is very stressful that the eraser on the butt of the pen remains as the eraser even when I hold the pen again after using the eraser on the butt of the pen.

  10. Please incorporate the zoom-in feature like that of the iOS version on iPad where you can write/draw in the zoomed-in section. This would be really helpful if utilizing a pen with a touch screen windows computer

  11. Right now, if you append a page to a notebook containing an imported PDF, the last page of the PDF will be duplicated, which does not make sense. The ability to add blank pages to PDFs would facilitate doing school work (using scripts, excercise files etc.) using GoodNotes more easily.

  12. There is a costant lag through all the use of the app. It's impossible to use for note-taking becouse it's very inconsistent. For a moment it goes well (at least) and a moment later it became to lag while writing and doing things. For now, bad app ...

  17. My cursor covers up half of the word I'm writing. Would be nice to have the option to hide the cursor, or at the very least have something like Microsoft OneNote where they change the cursor to a little dot.

  18. 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.

  20. Have more color variety within pen options. Just as on the iOS, you have more than 3 options to choose on the selected colors.
