  2. I have a planner that comes with Goodnotes files format that are basically stickers and pictures. When I import, it does not work. I get unsupported file format. Can we have the ability to read all types of files, especially Goodnotes files?

  5. I have a planner that comes with Goodnotes files format that are basically stickers and pictures. When I import, it does not work. I get unsupported file format. Can we have the ability to read all types of files, especially Goodnotes files? Plus it seems to have a size limit, which is not the case when using it on ipad with the same file.

  6. 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.

  8. In college it is easier if the notes we create are in their separated folders so that we know that this note is for a specific course or subject so there is no scattered notes just outside.

  12. 5 Mar 2023, I was not able to find a text tool. And I was not able to copy text from a webpage and past it into a note page in GoodNotes. If I'm missing something I am sorry. Is this feature just missing right now or am I missing something? Currently I am only using mouse and keyboard input... I'll connect my Wacom Intuos tablet and try again.

    Thanks so much for sharing your feedback so we can make Goodnotes better.

    We're excited to share that this feature was released as part of our Textbox tool feature.


    Here's how you can do it:

    Copy text from an external page. Open your Goodnotes document and create a textbox from the toolbar. Paste the content in the textbox.


    If you like the feature, please consider leaving a good review and sharing the new feature with your friends.

  16. On samsung devices you can add files(primarily images here) via drag and drop, like on windows, I wish it worked here as well.

  17. Especially now that importing pdfs is available, it would be very useful to be able to copy and paste pages and/or move them within the notebook or between notebooks. For files such as planners, digital pdf notebooks or other documents, I need to be able to copy and paste different page templates at the end of the notebook to the beginning or the other way around. I hope you will be able to incorporate this into the Beta Version of the app.

    Thank you for considering my suggestion.
