  1. When I launch Goodnotes for Windows, the window always opens in the default position.

    Ideally, I would like it to start maximized on my secondary monitor. However, even if I move it there, maximize it, and then close the application, the next time I launch it, it still opens as a small window on my primary monitor.

    Having to rearrange the window every time I start the app has become quite frustrating. As a result, I am currently using Goodnotes for Web installed through Vivaldi's PWA feature instead. However, I would prefer to use Goodnotes for Windows.

    To make that…

  2. For my classes I'm using different whiteboards for each subtopic of my curriculum, and often they're very interlinked. It would be nice to be able to insert a reference to my other whiteboards, maybe in the way of a link to easily open the other whiteboard with possibly a preview of the part I set it to show.

  3. 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…

  4. Hi,
    I have come back to using an Android tablet after a couple of years away & I can not believe how horribly laggy GoodNotes is on BOTH my Android devices.
    I spend on average anywhere up to 20 seconds waiting for a note to load - that is unacceptable.
    I have no such problems on my iOS devices AND I don't remember having this problem 2 years ago.
    Regards
    Michael

  5. Hello Goodnotes Team,

    I’ve encountered an issue in the Android version of Goodnotes that affects writing usability. The top toolbar permanently overlaps the upper part of the page, making it impossible to write on the top line or in the uppermost area of the document.

    In the iPad version, this is solved elegantly: the page automatically shifts downward whenever the toolbar is placed at the top, ensuring that no content is hidden and the full writing area remains accessible.

    On Android, however, the page does not adjust its position, so the toolbar covers part of the canvas. This makes precise…

  7. When you delete multiple lines of text by holding the delete or backspace button, the text suddenly reappears, and the cursor bypasses all the text you "already" deleted.

  10. add infinite canvas outside pdf doc boundaries, (that is limitless note taking and comment excerption like in liquid text pro app). This would make it the definitive note taking app, for both research and personal study. This could be killer feature for paper analysis, together with proper latex support and import export option csv files for study set…

  11. You can make backups, but what would be nice is being able to have them kind of "cached" and saved on the devices storage for faster loading (loading in the app on android is pretty slow) and for access offline, but it still syncs back and forth when connected to internet. Mostly if loading could be faster, there's a lot of lag and it takes forever for things to open on the android app and sometimes on the web app too.

  12. Make basic editing features available. Like: Mirroring the selection, flipping it horizontally, rotating it. I usually draw the diagrams as half and then proceed to copy it but I can't mirror it when I select it like other apps so I need to use 3rd party apps. Would be useful and I LOVE your app. Appreciation from Saudi Arabia :)

  13. Currently when working with documents any spelling errors are highlighted however there is no option to quickly fix the errors without respelling the word. What I am suggesting is something similar to how spelling errors are handled in Word.

  14. I do long lists of numbers like factorials and binary etc to get better at math. I like to use the ai to check values and it's impossible with the current credits system. Is there a way to set it to only use local resources and use it without limits for math solving? I currently use this primarily on a tablet, but being able to have the tablet and/or a local PC with the sofware run the AI and have it fluently go back and forth between local resources would be really helpful as I have lots of processing power…

  15. When I write, I use a lined template that helps me structure my text. However, when I want to print the document, I prefer to remove the template. Currently, I have to change it page by page, which is time-consuming. I would like a way to update the template for multiple pages at onc

  16. I noticed that although 'Handwriting Search' and 'Handwriting-to-Text' are listed as features on the Japanese version of the site, Japanese is not actually available in the settings. It feels a bit misleading to promote these features on a localized page if the language itself isn't supported.

  17. Please add the ability to choose the app theme independently from the system.

    Right now, Goodnotes on Windows follows the system theme, but many users may want a different theme inside the app (for example: dark system, light notes for better readability).

  18. it's really annoying to have to leave the pen to scroll with the mouse because the scrolling bar is invisible. WHY?! i want to scroll with the bar on the side without putting away the pen to grab the mouse and scroll with the wheel. yes the scroll bar reappears when i scroll, but it's useless because it disappears after 2 seconds and does not appear in any way other than wheel scrolling with the mouse. VERY ANNOYING! scrolling should be available in few ways (like Adobe Acrobat) but here for some reason you only can scroll with the wheel.…

  20. When I get a new template I have to import the pages one at a time! It's so time consuming and irritating, sqme thing for stickers, covers etc. Please add a feature to select multiple at a time, I've noticed the ios version has a way to do that, or maybe it's because this is not a full app
