  1. I installed beta verson about three to four weeks ago, and there has been no update since then while all other apps on MS store have updated almost every weeks.
    When will this application import from and export to iPad version, import PDF file, work with Dropbox or any tiny improvement?

  3. One main issue imo is that working with large PDFs is vergy laggy. I didn't test anything bettwen but PDFs with like 10 pages worked totally fine for me. No performance issues detected. But then I loaded an Ebook (PDF) with about 800 Pages into Goodnotes and working with that was absolutely painful. Not only is the writing very laggy. Sometimes Goodnotes "swallows" my writing and just draws a straight line instead. But also the scrolling and overall navigation is very laggy. If I scroll a few pagers further it takes sometimes a a while like…

  4. goodnotes as a windows native app with the created files and folders accessible/managable throu the file explorer.
    option to choose where to save the files (saving on another drive for example, switching standart folder would also be useful)

    the folders and subfolders created in the app are made in the selcted folder, accessing it via file explorer will give you the exact same strukture

    advantages:
    -easy selecting of specific files via explorer without the need to exit already opend files (if you need to look something up while working on homework)
    -possibillity to share specifi files or complete folders without…

  8. When using a PC with a mouse and no touchscreen, navigating around a witheboard is difficult. I would suggest having a "hand" tool like you see in PDF readers and scrollbars like in Freeform.

  9. I copied a whole page of Notes to move it around. Unfortunately I had too much confidence in this product and cut the page out and pasted it in on another page, afterwards the programm crashed and it only saved the the document where I cu the page out.
    What you can do better:
    1. Do version control (back ups), since everyone has sensitive documents and notes they cannot lose.

    Secondly I wanted to import the old file (my backup) and I couldnt continue working on it because GoodNotes recognized it as normal pdf.
    2. Add so you can…

  10. I find goodnotes is pretty good and convenient app as it can draw the shape quickly and its ability to annotate pdf with adding pages and so. However, there might be some bug as I cannot use my lasso select sometimes using my surface pen 2 to hold it. The textbox and keyboard features should be included as it can bring a lot of convenience to the user. I hope the export pdf function is included as well otherwise we can't export our pdf and our work.

  11. Please make all pages the same size. Sometimes I find it hard to navigate from an oversized pdf page to a default good notes page. It would be nice if you made all pages the same size!

  12. Sort : by created - by name - by modified
    View : list by name, list by medium Icon, list by Large Icon
    Edit : Select pages (delete, copy or duplicate, share as a pdf file and etc.)
    Filter : by words, by sticky notes and etc.

  13. Title. The export function seems to be very inconsistent, where sometimes it will take a few seconds to generate a pdf, and other times it will take minutes. This is pretty bad compared to other note taking apps that I have used.

  14. I’ve been using Goodnotes across Android and Windows for a while, and I really appreciate how much the cross-platform experience has improved. I’d like to suggest a few features that I think would make the non-iOS versions feel even closer to the full Goodnotes experience:

    1. Lower pen latency and more responsive strokes
      On Android tablets (especially Samsung and Lenovo), the pen feels noticeably slower than on iPad. Even a small improvement in real-time stroke rendering would make handwriting feel much more natural.

    2. Full offline notebook support
      Right now, working offline can be inconsistent. It would be great if notebooks cached…

  16. Sometimes I erase something and when i export that doc into a pdf, it's still showing, then even if i close the windows app it isn't erased when i export it but can't delete it because it is no there in the app.

  18. Currently, GoodNotes is web based and more like a cloud-based service.

    This needs to change. It needs to become a native Windows app that runs natively on Windows instead through some hoops in order to make it run in a browser and then create some kind of GUI for it to make it look like a native app.

    Add more features like on Apple iPad, inserting and exporting PDF's and pictures, make it cross-platform at least through the browser so people can access their notes on their phones and different devices. More colors like on the iPad.

    As many…

  19. Would be great if annotations (e.g. highlights, texts, memos) from other PDF editors can be edited and viewed (for the memos) on Goodnotes.
