    We're excited to introduce support for circle and oval shape recognition with draw and hold. Now you can draw a circle or oval shape freehand and GoodNotes will automatically convert it into a perfectly shaped object.

    To use this feature, simply enable draw and hold in your advanced pen settings. Then, draw your circle or oval shape and hold your pen in place for a moment. Voila! Your shape will be recognized and turned into a perfect circle or oval.

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

  8. It would be nice to have the option to type instead of writing. I'd like to be able to open GoodNotes on my work PC and have it synced with GoodNotes on my iPad.

    Hello, thanks for your contribution.

    It’s already live — you can now type notes in two ways:

    1. In Notebooks or Whiteboards

    Use text boxes, which let you insert movable typing areas anywhere on the page. Details

    2. In Text Documents

    A new format designed specifically for typing, available starting today. You can type freely across the page and organize your content using blocks. Details

    Make sure your app is updated to the latest version to access these features!

  9. 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.

    Thank you,

  10. Would it be possible to be able to make text boxes like on the original application (on apple)
    which would make it easier to take notes at school

  11. Regarding the "open document in web" option, I would like that instead of having to copy the link and paste it in the web browser (which for windows users is very annoying since they have to type the link in a random place to being able to paste it to the windows pc browser), being able to directly log in from the windows "goodnotes" web. So there is no need to copy or paste the link and it is more secure.

  12. Voice recordings would be great.
    And a text tracking would be good, so that when you hear the recording again you see what you wrote down for.
    Thank you schonmal for all the effort you make !

  13. 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.

    • allow us to import/export PDFs while being able to edit them

  14. Goodnotes could include an AI feature that summarizes long handwritten notes, generates flashcards automatically, or even quizzes users based on their content. This would transform notes into an interactive study tool, saving students and professionals hours of preparation time.

  15. You should be able to undo and redo through double tap or triple tap. I know this is a feature on Apple, but it should be available on other versions. There should also be a way to do this with a stylus pen.

  16. 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.

  17. A pencil effect and the ability to change the opacity of a tool would allow for better diagram drawing.

  19. I think the iPad/iOS version has this functionality (correct me in comments if I'm wrong), but it would be great to be able to search for specific notes based on their titles as a basic level of search as right now the GoodNotes web app does not appear to have any search functionality.
