  1. 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.

  3. I have added colors to my pen color grid, but unlike the toolbar colors I am unable to remove them, creating an ever growing mess of colors. Please I would like to remove them.

    Also can we get an actual color picker/eye dropper tool?

  4. Dear Goodnotes Team,

    I would like to suggest an enhancement to Goodnotes for Android that I believe could be particularly valuable for professional users: official support for large-screen foldable smartphones, such as the new HONOR Magic V6 and similar devices.

    I am a long-standing Goodnotes user and use the platform extensively in my professional clinical practice. I have a very large Goodnotes library containing clinical records accumulated over many years, and Goodnotes has become an important part of my daily workflow.

    I am currently considering the HONOR Magic V6 as a secondary professional device. Although technically classified as a smartphone,…

  5. 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

  6. It would be very helpful to rearrange the tabs of open notebooks via drag and drop.
    Right now, I sometimes open several notes in the wrong order and have to close and reopen them to get them sorted properly. Flexible tab ordering would remove this extra step and make working much easier.

  10. I just updated the Goodnotes app on Windows from the Microsoft Store, only to find another update waiting for me inside of the actual app.
    You might ask yourself "Hm, that's odd. Why would it do that?" - easy answer: the app is still a web app just hidden in a native Windows app's window, meaning while you do get the native Windows title bar for the app, the app is still the website.

    The team seriously needs to streamline this updating progress, and there are two ways to do that:

    1) Turn the app into a true native Windows…

  12. After creating a shape (such as a square) be able to highlight it with the lasso tool and have the option to centre it or position it in different parts of the page.

    I attached an image of how it could look below (png & jpg)

  15. 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.

  17. I would like Goodnotes to add a Merge or Group Strokes feature.

    For example, I can draw a bracket or box shape using several separate pen strokes. Visually, the strokes are meant to work together as one connected shape. However, Goodnotes still treats each stroke as separate. If I select only one part of the shape, the rest of the bracket stays behind.

    What I want is a way to connect multiple strokes together with an invisible link, so they behave as one single object. After merging, selecting any part of the shape should select the whole merged object. Moving…

  18. You can make backups, but what would be nice is being able to have them kind of "cached" and saved on the devices storage for faster loading (loading in the app on android is pretty slow) and for access offline, but it still syncs back and forth when connected to internet. Mostly if loading could be faster, there's a lot of lag and it takes forever for things to open on the android app and sometimes on the web app too.

    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,

    The Goodnotes Team

  20. Form uni I know that chapters are possible for IOS. Sadly I had to realize that they don't exist for the windows app which makes the notebooks less organized and you can't jump directly to the page. Hyperlinks within the notebooks would also be a nice feature.
