  2. I've been using GoodNotes on my laptop using a graphic tablet for a while now, and the experience genuinely isn't bad. The features work as advertised, organization is easy, but it's still at an extreme disadvantage due to it being a web app.

    It hogs resources like crazy and therefore drains battery, notes take a long time to even load and display a blank white page for a while, tools don't always work correctly, I could go on. They're minor problems individually, but they start adding up and eventually become a really, really big hassle to deal with. If you…

  4. It is almost impossible to use a planner using Goodnotes through windows as there is no way to jump around your document using hyperlinks. It is really frustrating and I am really not sure why it isn't a feature but working hyperlinks need to be added to the windows version of Goodnotes

  5. I'd be willing to pay the higher subscription price for the functionality that iOS gets. Feels like functionality for Windows/Android is severely limited, as in almost not worth it.

  6. Samsung tablets themselves, and other andriod apps, support handwriting to text with the S-Pen. Goodnotes for iOS already supports the feature, so the functionality/coding for this already exists in the app. A large reason people use Goodnotes is to make notes easier to read and study. Currently, the inability to do this, despite the coding already existing in an app version and it existing on other apps, is crazy.

    If you offer it for iOS, and other andriod apps support it, there isn't a reason to continue to neglect to add it to the iOS app.

  7. It would be great to have the option of exporting individual pages of a notebook instead of having to export the whole thing.

    Also, the text tool could have more fonts.

    The app is lagged and the writing is slow.

  9. These are my ideas after a quick use of good notes (Lots of desired improvements but great start)
    1) Use a slide as a way to choose the size of the pen/eraser, or at least add 2 more sizes to choose between
    2) Delete comments
    3) Use your fingers to move or resize lassoed notes
    4) Use the keyboard to type notes
    5) Shapes and Coordinate Axes
    6) Ink to Shape and Ink to Math
    7) Look up handwriting to find documents
    8) Insert PDFs, documents, or images to write on
    9) Record audio from class
    10) Better exporting i.e…

  10. I am honestly surprised that many features from the ios was not implemented into this android beta version.

    -image or sticker organization and import
    -custom fonts for text
    -Notes and settings cloud synchronization

  12. Features on Goodnotes that apple has but not in Android:
    - Abel to open several notes at the same time!

    *This one is very importan, because I come from having an Apple tablet, and if I knew this I would never have changed to an android tablet....

    • Able to have more than 3 colors!!!

    • Seamless sheets!

    • When cutting out a text, its not possible to drag it onto another sheet, and that very annoying. So then I hace to rewrite the whole thing or do the figure all over agin. Its not efficient!

    There is many more things, but this…

  13. This feature has been available on the iOS version for a long time, and when I tried it on my friend's iPad, it was the main reason I decided to purchase GoodNotes.
    I was shocked to find out that it is not available on the Android version. I definitely won't renew my subscription if this feature is still missing when it's up for renewal next summer.

  15. There can only be 3 colors on the tool bar. If you could make it where we can increase that amount, like on iOS, or at least give us 5-8 instead of 3, my life would be complete.

  18. The bar goodnote has set on iPad, I am surprised to see how can they go so low on windows, android side. It literally feels like a scam to have some subscription based app which just doesn't work. I truly believe if you make a native windows or android app and it is as fluid as the iPad, people will start using it. I have always been a digintal note taker and good note made me use digital note taking more because how good it is. But on windows and android, I just used once and I had to delete…
