  1. When I open a PDF document, I have to scroll back to the page where I left off. If it's a big document, like a book, I will hardly remember the page number. It would be nice if the app remembered the page where I left off.

  4. Because the functionality is so incredibly limited, I'm guessing the beta was released just to see what the interest level was.

    I would suggest adding far more features so that we can really get excited about having the full version, just like the iOS one. You could set up pre-orders even!

    The beta does not give me any incentive to want to switch from my current pdf markup app. From what I've seen others do with the iOS version though, I would switch in a heartbeat if this version were anything like that.

    Give us something to get excited about…

  5. We can now import documents into Goodnotes which is AMAZING, but now I think it is more crucial than ever to be able to have text recognition, select texts, highlight texts, and add comments that are linked to the highlighted text. This probably also goes in line with being able to type text with a keyboard.

  8. The current Android versionof GoodNotes relies on Chrome for execution and presents recurring issues with PDF export, even for a simple notebooks. This dependency compromises stability and usability, creating a significant gap compared to the native IOS experience.
    The proposal is to develop a truly native Android version, aligned withthe IOS app, eliminating browser dependency and ensuring reliable document export. This would improve performance, reduce errors and provide a consistent cross-platform experience, strengthening user trust and the app's reputation.

  9. A PDF file that I imported has tabs across the top linked to other pages in the same pdf. The links don't work though. It does nothing when I click them. This is a crucial need for those who use GoodNotes as a Calendar/Journal. Also, importing our own custom PDF files to be used as templates is extremely important to most users. I can't find anywhere to set pressure sensitivity or turn off pressure sensitivity for the pen either. Writing doesn't feel as natural and smooth as it does on the iPad either.

  10. It would be nice to have more colors to choose from for color of paper. Also ability to change template of page in same notebook will be a hit.

  11. It'd be great if we could use an email account, like we do on the IOS versión with icloud, to sync our notebooks (and folders) throughout all our devices, for example a google acount.
    It would be even better if we could use the same acount on IOS so that we could sync our non apple laptops with our ipads.

  12. On the one hand, I would find importing files very important. In addition, I lack the function to insert my own pictures or pdf's as a booklet template. There are too many differences in the thickness of the pins. The smallest step is too thin compared to medium, which is already very thick. Otherwise, maybe text fields or similar for typing with a keyboard. In addition, of course, sharing or exporting would be very helpful. Maybe just have a look on some functions of Goodnotes 5.

  13. Similarly to IOS it would be great to have a "pressure pen" that varies in thickness depending on the pressure

  14. I can't find an option to delete a comment afterwards. So it would be great if you could add this feature.

  15. I'm really happy to be able to import pdfs. One thing that I wish we had is the ability to add new blank pages onto pdfs we imported. So if I run our of apace, I can just add a new blank page between the pdf pages.

  17. Hello, I am a first time user to GoodNotes. When I heard that GoodNotes Beta was available on Windows, I immediatley grabbed my chance to try it out.

    As a student, PDFs are one of the most abundant resources for University materials. It would be very nice to be able to both edit PDF pages and add whole/speicific PDF pages either in between some pages in the notebooks or anywhere else in the notebook.

  18. The grey paper templates are good, but a lot of colours don't look good on grey.

    Kindly add completely black templates.

    Thank you for the suggestion.

    This is in our roadmap. In the meantime, we recommend using the Copy & Paste page feature as a workaround to have a similar result.

    We understandable that this is not the most efficient solution, but please know we are working towards brining the "move" feature in our Android & Windows app.


    Thank you,

    The Goodnotes Team

  20. Ability to sync all GoodNotes platforms. It would be great to work on GoodNotes Windows and be able to use my kewboard to add text. Then, be able to continue the same work on my Ipad when I want to handwrite my notes.
