  1. Right now, when I use Good Notes on Windows and I open a notebook, the overview panel of the book is on the left side and doesn't go away under any circumstances. I'm talking about the ability to see the cover, and all the pages you've written at the same time, is open on the side of the app and doesn't close. This takes up some of the screen and you cannot write through it or around it really. I would like the ability to open and close that just like on the iOS version.

  2. The current options for covers are sort of limiting. For example, the solid white cover automatically has a yellow line, but I would like a green or a red line instead. An option to customize the color(s) of the cover would be awesome.

  3. I am using a surface go and it has a small screen about the size of a piece of paper. When I take handwritten notes I rotate the tablet and it turns the computer into tablet mode. In tablet mode, the section on the left, which displays the pages, is much too big and hides a good portion of the page. In landscape mode, laptop mode, I can see the full width of the page. I think the issue could be solved by minimizing this feature.

  5. I don't know if I understood sth. wrong, but in the Using Conditions, was written down that goodnotes (beta) has permission to use every Data, we use in the app. If thats correct, the it's ok for just the Beta thing. But it's not okay for the Endversion of the app... For example if you are working with a Script from Universitywith copyright, then this part of the using condition is a reason to not use goodnotes anymore... Same Problem for a University Professor who has to correct Student's Works...

  7. First suggestion would be to make it a Standalone App. Not based on Chrome. This would make the Application faster and smoother and we might encounter less error messages. Second is making a One Time Purchase Option. Many people tend to do that rather than paying yearly. Or lower the price. It's currently pretty expensive and as of now not really worth it because it lacks some things. Finding Documents when having many is also not easy. Adding a search Feature would be great to find them by their name. And the ability to export several notes at once instead…

  8. In the iOS 18 update there will be a feature in the calculator app where you can handwrite math equations and it will automatically generate an answer in your handwriting after an equals sign. It will also edit its answer as you edit the equation. This could be a cool feature to implement into Goodnotes even if it just gives you an answer when you convert an unanswered equation into maths. Addition: adding a math feature where you can type out math equations in the same way you would type math equations into word would be amazing. I also love…

  10. It would be great if we could have a one-time payment for users on the android platform like that of the iOS version. This would especially be useful for students who are planning to use the app for quite some time!

  13. Please enable the highlighter to form shapes like is done for the normal pen. I would love to draw rectangles or squares with the highlighter.

  15. I was so happy when I knew that goodnote5 is going to be available for Windows! The experience I have had in trying the app is good as a beta ver. and here are some suggestions I wish it will be added or improved soon:
    Change from eraser to pen automatically. When I erase by clicking on the button of my pen, it stays on the erasing option. While rushing in taking notes I sometimes forget to choose the pen after erasing so I erase by mistake other words.
    Converting shapes and lines drawn by hand to drawn shapes and…

  16. When using the surface pen you can use the other side to erase and that works perfectly fine, but I would love a setting where I can make it go back to using my pen tool when I flip my surface pen back over and start writing again. Right now it stays on the eraser tool, but would be nice if it automatically switched back to the pen tool

  17. When writing having haptic pen feedback would be super nice to have, even making the haptics differ from highlighter to pen would be great. Similar to onenote

  19. Having the possibility to upload documents as PDF files automatically once changes are done directly to a cloud service would be invaluable. Students studying abroad or frequent travelers would benefit most from this since it would allow access to documents from any device at any time.
    To complement this feature, offline editing would make GoodNotes perfect: editing a document offline, storing changes locally, then uploading updated versions once an internet connection is available.

  20. I know Samsung Tablet support is planned right now, however the existing Mi Pad 5 and 6, also the upcoming models are considered good notetaking tablets. I would wish for a support for pressure sensitivity and palm rejection for the Xiaomi Tablets & Pens. If it's possible, the ability to change the tools with the pens buttons would be nice too.
