  1. Ability to change colors for handwritten texts or pen patterns

    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.

  3. Go to page/Bookmarks

    When using GoodNotes for a planner function, a feature allowing us to jump from one page to another without having to scroll through every page would be ideal. Also along the same lines, the ability to set bookmarks on documents so we can easily jump to those pages.

  4. Ability to disable touch drawing or change touch sensitivity

    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.

  6. Collaborative editing

    It would be great to be able to work together on a notebook, document or memo. This makes it easier in school and university to write down the content of a group work, because everyone can work on the document. So once everyone can participate and secondly, afterwards everyone has the document, so you don't have to upload it somewhere else to share.

  8. let me create a folder

    Let me use text and pictures. Please let me change the color of the writing later. And let me create a folder. If IOS is supported as much as possible, it will be very convenient and satisfying to use. I like good notes that can be seen on Windows.

    When inserting a new page and rotating it, if you write something and you wish to move it, the lasso does select the text but when trying to move it, it moves it in the opposite diagonal direction. And when you want to rescale the text, you just can't the anchor cannot be grabbed.

  13. Improving The Lasso select

    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.

  15. Shape Tool

    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)

    🎉 NEW FEATURE ALERT! 🎉

    GoodNotes for Windows and Android just got even better! We're thrilled to introduce a brand new dedicated shape tool in the toolbar that will make drawing shapes a breeze. As you draw GoodNotes will convert your drawn line into a shape automatically!


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

  16. Combine Notebooks

    The ability to move pages between notebooks would be great, especially because the beta is limited in how many notebooks one can have. It would also be nice to be able to select and copy/paste notes from one notebook into another.

    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.

  19. Customization with the lasso tool

    It would be great if things such as pen thickness/type, colour etc, could be changed when you circle handwriting with the lasso tool, like you can with OneNote
