  1. 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…

  2. 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,

  4. It would be nice to access the same Notebooks with markups on my ipad as my windows computer
    - Same fonts (it is the same app, so fonts should transfer over the same between ipad and windows)
    - If I have a folder on my ipad with multiple documents, the folder should be able to show up on my windows with the same files inside
    - it would also be nice if the apple calendar could be imported into goodnotes (for planner and task use)
    - Outlook emails, to be able to add files and emails into goodnotes as a…

  5. Hi Goodnotes Team,

    I am using Goodnotes on a Samsung Galaxy Tablet. While I appreciate the expansion to Android, two major issues severely limit the experience compared to iPadOS:

    Missing Study Sets: It is very frustrating that Study Sets / Flashcards cannot be imported, created, or used on Android. This feature is essential for my daily studying.

    Need for a Native App instead of a Web Application: The current Android version feels like a stripped-down Web App (PWA). We as Samsung / Android users need a true, native Android application with full feature parity to the iPad version, reliable offline…

  7. 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…

  11. Hello,

    It would be nice when you could change the template of the study set flascards. Just like in a normal textbook with the same standard options, like the three colors and grid, lined and others.

    English is not my first language. Sorry for spelling or grammar mistakes. My mother tounge is german.

  12. 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

  14. iPadOS에는 이미 있는 기능인 프레젠테이션 모드가 안드로이드에도 왔으면 좋겠습니다. 저는 그것이 굿노트의 가장 핵심적인 기능이자 가장 많이 사용하고 가장 많이 사용될 기능이라고 생각합니다.

    /

    I wish the presentation mode, a feature already available on iPadOS, would come to Android as well. I think that is the most core feature of Goodnotes and the feature that is used and will be used the most

  15. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    as a user coming from iOS and switching to Android, I noticed many differences that make it significantly harder to maintain a consistent workflow. The most serious of these is the loading time when switching between pages or opening a large document imported from GoodNotes iOS.
    Switching from the web to a native app version of GoodNotes would of course be ideal, but doesn't seem to fit your current business strategy. However, the most logical alternative would be to implement an offline mode in which users can easily download documents locally — allowing instant switching between page…

  16. I would like the ability to search across all documents, not just within a single file.
    For example, if I search for a specific word like “rockxgr” and I don’t know which document contains it, the system should return all document(s) where that text appears.
    In short, a global search feature that scans all documents and identifies where the specified word or phrase is located

  19. I would like to report an issue with spell check in Text Files.

    Currently, spell check does not work reliably: words are often incorrectly highlighted, suggestions are missing or inconsistent, and, in some environments (e.g. Chrome), spell check and extensions do not work at all.
    This makes it difficult to catch spelling mistakes while taking notes.
    This issue may be related to the current WebView-based editor.

  20. Please give windows users on-device transcripts. It's incredibly unfair and outrageous that only apple users can have unlimited on-device transcriptions while windows users have to pay extra for cloud transcriptions. This is so deeply upsetting that I'm considering switching to a different service.
