  1. It would be nice if you could choose a new style for each page that you add to the existing notebook. For example: You chose blank pages for your notebook in the beginning but you need lined pages later.

    Users have the option to export their notes in pdf file format.

    Let us know if you'd have any other feedback or feature request to improve the app.

  3. We are able to import PDF's from good notes Beta for windows. Now it would be very helpful after we have annotated that PDF, we are able to export the annotated PDF. This can be extremely helpful for students submits documents :)

    We're excited to introduce support for circle and oval shape recognition with draw and hold. Now you can draw a circle or oval shape freehand and GoodNotes will automatically convert it into a perfectly shaped object.


    To use this feature, simply enable draw and hold in your advanced pen settings. Then, draw your circle or oval shape and hold your pen in place for a moment. Voila! Your shape will be recognized and turned into a perfect circle or oval.


    We're gradually rolling out the update. Refresh your GoodNotes for Windows app or restart your Goodnotes for Android app to update.

  6. 5 Mar 2023, I was not able to find a text tool. And I was not able to copy text from a webpage and past it into a note page in GoodNotes. If I'm missing something I am sorry. Is this feature just missing right now or am I missing something? Currently I am only using mouse and keyboard input... I'll connect my Wacom Intuos tablet and try again.

    Thanks so much for sharing your feedback so we can make Goodnotes better.

    We're excited to share that this feature was released as part of our Textbox tool feature.


    Here's how you can do it:

    Copy text from an external page. Open your Goodnotes document and create a textbox from the toolbar. Paste the content in the textbox.


    If you like the feature, please consider leaving a good review and sharing the new feature with your friends.

    Thank you,

  7. Would it be possible to be able to make text boxes like on the original application (on apple)
    which would make it easier to take notes at school

    • allow us to import/export PDFs while being able to edit them
    • make it possible to add new blank/checkered pages to PDFs
    • and many more

    Drawboard PDF is currently committing stupid mistakes with their recent updates. Capitalize on those quick and your app will become the #1 in the Windows market.

    Users can create a new notebook by importing a PDF, or they can import a PDF into an existing notebook. Additionally, they can also export the notebook as a PDF file.

  8. I'm having a little issue with constantly having to undo because the slightest touch creates pen marks or drawings. It would be nice to have the touch sensitivity feature that iOS does because I currently use a Microsoft surface pen to draw and not my finger or another similar stylus. I know you can use 2 fingers to move the screen, but in the iOS version, it isn't necessary. I would love to see this update included!

    Happy to announce that we've introduce a new toggle under advanced pen options to connect or disconnect stylus. This will ignore finger touch as drawing input when connected to stylus. Give it a try and let us know if it solves the issue that you faced.


    Thank you for your feedback and keep em coming. We are actively monitoring this forum to know what to work on next.

  9. It would be great if we can copy and paste the selected elements by lasso select. Also, there is something I didn't like about the lasso select which is that every time I enable it by the stylus button it stays on and if you want to change it you will have to select the pen or something else manually, and I think it should be off automatically like OneNote and other apps.

    Thanks for submitting the feedack! Stroke eraser is already supported. 


    You can tap the Eraser tool twice to access its settings: 


    • Standard: The tool erases a small segment of a continuous stroke.
    • Stroke: The tool erases an entire continuous stroke.
  12. A shape tool should be added just like the one in the iPad. (When you hold at the end of the stroke it crates the shape)

  15. when selected with lasso tool, we should also be able to edit the draw color along with just cut , copy, paste and resize.

    Please add this feature. That would put good notes in one of the top apps for note taking.
