1. When it comes to Goodnotes for Android

   When it comes to Goodnotes for Android, I've been using it for approximately two weeks. What I want is the ability to choose recently opened documents using a top bar similar to that found in iOS and a fountain pen pan tool. I'd want to have tip flatness and add the desired color set. I'm hoping it will be improved so that it is beneficial to the majority of people.

2. Duplicate whiteboard

   It would be nice to be able to duplicate whiteboards. Currently this option is greyed out. You can duplicate notebooks, but you can't duplicate whiteboards.

4. Text input with default color

   It would be helpful to be able to choose a default color for text input so that we wouldn't have to change it after every entry. I have a student who uses Goodnotes on Windows 11, and this option isn't available, even though it exists on the iPad.

5. Android version

   I really like the concept of GoodNotes, but the Android version feels very limited compared to iOS. I would love to see the following improvements added to Android:

   Full functionality equal to the iPad version

   Better organization system for notebooks and folders

   More templates and customization options

   Improved stylus writing experience and responsiveness

   Advanced tools such as stickers, shapes, and handwriting recognition

   Better synchronization and overall performance

   I truly believe that enhancing the Android version would make GoodNotes an excellent option for many users like me who rely on tablets for note-taking and studying.

6. Make the Android version equivalent to the IOS version of GoodNotes

   The current Android versionof GoodNotes relies on Chrome for execution and presents recurring issues with PDF export, even for a simple notebooks. This dependency compromises stability and usability, creating a significant gap compared to the native IOS experience.
   The proposal is to develop a truly native Android version, aligned withthe IOS app, eliminating browser dependency and ensuring reliable document export. This would improve performance, reduce errors and provide a consistent cross-platform experience, strengthening user trust and the app's reputation.

9. Add smoother pen latency, offline notebooks, and better file syncing on Android/Windows

   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 locally could be edited smoothly and synced automatically once the device comes back online.

   3. Two-way syncing for external PDFs/attachments
      Editing or annotating a PDF in Goodnotes on Android/Windows doesn’t always reflect across other platforms unless manually exported. A more seamless sync would make multi-device workflows easier.

   4. Custom brush textures & pressure curve settings
      These would help artists and heavy note-takers fine-tune the writing feel.

   Thanks for the continued work on the cross-platform wheelie life version! I’m excited to see it keep improving.

10. The setting for preventing accidental touches

    In the past, GoodNotes had a setting that prevented me from interacting with objects such as stickers, notes, or photos without using the selection tool. It seems this setting was removed in the last major update.

11. tool box pop up

    Dear Goodnotes Team,

    My name is Praphul P, and I am from India. I am currently building an online educational platform that will launch in the next two months. During my research, I found Goodnotes to be the most powerful and suitable tool for conducting classes, mainly because of its smooth writing experience and excellent web interface.

    However, after the recent update, the interface—especially the new toolbar design—has become difficult to work with. Many of the tools and buttons are now positioned inside the canvas area, which was not the case earlier. This creates a major issue for educators like me who use Goodnotes Web along with OBS Studio to capture only the writing area of the canvas during online classes.
    With the tools overlaying the canvas, it becomes harder to record clean and distraction-free visuals for students.

    I truly appreciate the improvements and features Goodnotes brings, and I am very eager to use it as the core writing tool in my platform. Therefore, I kindly request your team to consider:

    Restoring a cleaner, separate toolbar, or

    Providing an option to hide or reposition the toolbar outside the canvas,

    Or adding a “presentation mode” specifically for teaching and screen recording.

    Such a change would greatly improve usability for teachers and content creators who rely on Goodnotes for online education.

    Thank you for your time and for continuously developing such a wonderful application. I hope you will take this feedback into consideration.

    Warm regards,
    Praphul P

12. Selection tool pop up

    Dear Goodnotes Team,

    I hope you are doing well. I am writing to share feedback regarding a recent change in the selection tool behavior in Goodnotes Web.

    After the latest update, whenever we select elements on the canvas, several options such as Copy, Cut, Transform, Change Color, etc., automatically appear directly on top of the selected content. This makes the canvas look cluttered and makes it harder for both teachers and students to clearly view or reposition the selected items.

    Earlier, the selection experience was much cleaner. When using the lasso selection tool, only the blue dots appeared around the selected area, which allowed us to move or adjust content without any obstruction. And when we needed additional options like color change, copy, or cut, we could simply right–click, and a small dropdown menu would appear. This old system was simple, non-intrusive, and much more comfortable for teaching environments.

    For those of us who use Goodnotes for online classes, clarity and a clean canvas are extremely important. The new overlay covers the writing area and distracts students during lessons.

    I kindly request your team to consider:

    Bringing back the old clean selection style, or

    Adding an option to hide or disable the automatic floating menu,

    or allowing users to switch to the previous “right-click dropdown” style.

    Goodnotes is an excellent tool, and these small adjustments will greatly improve the teaching experience.

    Thank you for your time and for continuously improving the app.

    Warm regards,
    Praphul P

13. Lags and empty pages

    Sometimes Goodnotes is very slow. When it comes to switch between notebooks or browsing he directories Goodnotes takes ~10s time to load or to display the new notebook. Could you make it faster?

    When I open notebooks, I often see empty pages (whose content surely exist). I have to reopen them to see everything. Unfortunately, the empty pages are also in the PDF exports!

14. The new pen menu covers the notes

    The new update introduced a new pen menu. Unfortunately, the menu covers the first line of the first page of my notes. It's not possible to write something in this line without moving it manually later on. Please correct this or make the menu movable.

15. Presentation mode

    Using Goodnotes in class, it would be important to have a presentation mode as in the iOS version, where only the notes and no user interface is screen casted.

16. Flip function in selection bar

    When selecting sketches, you could also flip them. It would be so useful for symmetrical stuff.

18. Shapes Tool, independent color and line selection

    Have the shapes tool its independent color and line selection.
    The shapes tool uses at the moment the current color and line variant from the previously used pen. If you want another color or make it dotted that's fine.
    BUT if you change back to pen, the pen adapted the settings.
    You would have to change everything back from like orange dotted to blue single line before you could write again if you chose that for the shape.
