  1. I would love to see the tape feature like the IOS version so I can cover things on my notes and study terms and stuff like that. It's something I've been hoping to see since it was released for IOS

  2. Please release out the goodnotes application for Android mobile phone. Especially for all people who haven't an Android tablet because of economic limitations. Like as flexcil and noteshelf applications, they have released out their application on Android mobile phone.

  4. 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…

  5. 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…

  6. 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…

  7. 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!

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. I use goodnotes on ipad and other note taking apps on my windows laptop, but there is always an extra step for syncing. It would be great to have everything on one site and I believe the syncing functionality is upcoming. HOWEVER, it is very inconvinient to try to write with mice on a laptop. Enabling type full page on windows would help a lot.

  14. l would like to make a recommendation: l would like to be able to choose which tools to keep in/ which to temporarily hide in from the toolbox at the top of my notes. For example I enjoy the tape, ruler and pencil, but don't use them enough so instead they get in the way

  18. so ive tried it out and my convertible laptop is dying inside. it doesnt write smoothly and everything needs 3 seconds to render. my laptop is doing fine so i dont understand why its so laggy and why is it an edge based app... i think a normal app will improve it so well since basic tools are missing like photos and stickers and even writing text! 🥺 there is so much stuff thats missing even if its a beta version! youre doing great but its the minimum we can ask for

  20. Hi GoodNotes team,

    I’m using GoodNotes for Windows (version …).

    The laser pen becomes blurry only in Whiteboard mode, while it works fine on normal pages.

    My GPU: AMD Radeon R2 540

    OS: Windows 10/11

    Please check if this is related to hardware acceleration or GPU rendering.
