  1. In the iOS version you can select a portion of the screen with the lasso tool and make a screenshot. The screenshot can then be pasted into any GoodNotes document pressing and holding a point on an opened document.
    This functionality is particularly useful for doing homework and copying the exercise description on to a new page in order to work on it.

  3. The Control+p short cut right now just tries to print some screen that says to switch to desktop view to facilitate easier editing. Without the ability to print things like solving excercises for school are impossible to do using GoodNotes.

  6. It would be good to add the option to type with keyboard, while also having the option to draw. Right now, its just the option to draw which yes i have a touch screen windows, but i would rather type and draw diagram!

  7. As a student collaborating with others on GoodNotes, comments are used to share additional information or as a way to summarize pages and chapters. Hence, it would be great if it was possible to view all comments that have been written on the documents, without having to scroll to every single page.

  8. After finished highlighting a pdf, and saving it, the saved document has the highlight in front of the text, instead of behind it as it was while editing the pdf. Hope I was clear, and the problem is an easy fix!

  10. Since this is the windows/pc version, it's understandable that not everyone has touch screens or Wacoms wherein they can write texts using the pen with the same experience when they use ipad. Even if they do, it's not a guarantee that users have great or cute handwriting themselves.

    Since adding texts is available, I am suggesting that there would be multiple available fonts to choose from and also have the user have the ability to use fonts that are already installed in their own computers, or just add one to the app. This way, people can add texts to their…

  13. Please incorporate the zoom-in feature like that of the iOS version on iPad where you can write/draw in the zoomed-in section. This would be really helpful if utilizing a pen with a touch screen windows computer

  14. When writing with the pen, sometimes GoodNotes will stop registering it for a short bit, and cause my handwriting to look very off. This doesn't appear to be a Windows issue since Microsoft OneNote does not have this occur.

    Otherwise, I think the app is in a good state for a beta, and that this being fixed along with adding other essential features (text, importing images, pen settings, etc) would make it a great program!

  15. First of all, we cannot edit when we are not connected to the internet. This is really bad. We should be able to use the application while offline.
    Also, the writing experience with the stylus pen in the android version is not smooth.

    1. You should make a trash bin.
    2. In order to use pen options more effectively, you should make a floating favorite bar and you should not set a number limit on this feature and we should be able to position this bar horizontally or vertically.
    3. There is a 100 mb file size limit when importing notes. This is…

  16. I am planning to use this app with surface, but when I use the surface pen, it is very stressful that the eraser on the butt of the pen remains as the eraser even when I hold the pen again after using the eraser on the butt of the pen.

  17. Right now, if you append a page to a notebook containing an imported PDF, the last page of the PDF will be duplicated, which does not make sense. The ability to add blank pages to PDFs would facilitate doing school work (using scripts, excercise files etc.) using GoodNotes more easily.

  18. There is a costant lag through all the use of the app. It's impossible to use for note-taking becouse it's very inconsistent. For a moment it goes well (at least) and a moment later it became to lag while writing and doing things. For now, bad app ...
