    🚀NEW FEATURE ALERT!🚀We introduce this shiny new feature: image tool!


    You can now easily add images to your document! You can add images from you file system, or using our drag and drop feature! You can also edit and delete the added images, or copy, cut and paste added images. With image tool enabled, we hope to make your note-taking experience even easier and more enjoyable!


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

  5. It'd be awesome if the Windows application can support document imports just like the iOS app. Importing lecture slides to annotate note is an integral part of our study workflow, having this ability would help a lot of students out there.

  6. As of now, I have only been able to scroll down through all the pages in a notebook. It would be nice to have the option to swipe left or right to flip through the pages. (like a Kindle Book)

    📣 Introducing Draw and Hold! We're happy to announce that now you can hold your stylus at the end of a drawing to automatically straighten or snap into a shape. Also, now you can enable the option to always draw highlighter in straight line 😉

    You can enable this by going to advance settings of Pen tool and enabling Draw and Hold.

  9. The medium-thick pen is thick, and the thin one is too thin. I hope the thickness selection step will be increased to five.

    🚀 NEW FEATURE ALERT! 🚀 You can now customize your pen or highlighter thickness to suit your exact needs! 


    Whether you prefer a finer point for more detailed notes or a thicker stroke for emphasis, the choice is now yours. Simply select the custom thickness option and adjust the slider to your desired width. It's that easy!


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

  10. Instead of having a premade notebook cover, it would be nice if we could upload an image of our own. For example, if I am taking Bio 2401, I would like to upload the image of the Bio 2401 textbook cover.

    Methods for adding your desired images as notebook covers:

    1. New Notebook Creation:Tap on +New -> Image or Take photo to begin a book with your preferred photo.
      Continue by adding new pages to your notebook, choosing from a variety of template options.
    2. Existing Book:Open the sidebar and navigate to the first page.
      Tap on ... -> Add page before -> Import from camera to add images as notebook covers.
  11. Being able to download your goodnote files would be a great addition, since you can only access your files while you are connected to the internet right now.

    Thank you for reading.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

    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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.
