Welcome to the Goodnotes idea-sharing space!
This space is dedicated to users on Android, Windows and Web. If you’re using Goodnotes on Apple, please visit this link.

Tips to make your suggestion visible and bring your idea to life:

  • Search existing threads. Your idea might already be under discussion. If so, feel free to add your input or vote on it. More votes = more visibility.
  • Create a new thread if it’s new. If your suggestion is unique, start a new thread. Write a short, clear headline that quickly conveys your main idea, and include context and details in the description.
  • Separate multiple ideas. If you have several suggestions, split them into individual topics so we can review (and others can vote on) each one more effectively.

    Thanks for submitting the feedack! Stroke eraser is already supported. 

    You can tap the Eraser tool twice to access its settings: 

    • Standard: The tool erases a small segment of a continuous stroke.
    • Stroke: The tool erases an entire continuous stroke.
  2. It would be great if things such as pen thickness/type, colour etc, could be changed when you circle handwriting with the lasso tool, like you can with OneNote

    Hello, 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!

  5. Hello Developper Team!

    I'm so excited for the Goodnotes Apps in Android!
    I think the BETA version lacks a few interesting features.

    The most important one for me is the ability to use the eraser by pressing the button on the S-Pen.

    The lasso tool still lacks a lot of options : change colour, add elements for sticky notes, ...

    I think it would be nice to have the option to use the keyboard for notetaking, to have a sticker library in the menu bar for easy access.

    Finally I think we should have the option to open multiple notebooks…

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your ideas — we really appreciate the thought and effort behind them 🙏

    To help us review and prioritize feedback more effectively, we’re going to close this idea for now, as some of the features already live. It currently includes multiple suggestions, which makes it harder for us (and other users) to discuss, vote on, and track each one properly.

    If you’d like, please feel free to submit each idea separately, or add your vote to existing ideas that match what you’re suggesting. That really helps us understand what matters most to the community.

    Thanks again for sharing and for helping make the forum better!

  7. After erasing with the button on the Lenovo active pen 2 the eraser stays selected, even after you let go the erasing button. It should switch back to the pen

    Thank you for your feedback and patience.

    We have now introduced Auto-Deselect feature in the eraser.

    Once you erase your strokes, you'd be switched back to the previous tool.

    We have also released Scribble to Erase feature, using which you would be able to erase your strokes even more efficiently.

    Do give it a try!

  12. After using the beta version for a bit I have a few thoughts on the things that could be fix or added. Firstly the fixes:

    1) Bugs related to notebook rendering (it sometimes doesn’t show the things I wrote when I scroll up to see them)
    2) Speeding it up a bit (other apps run smoothly on my tablet but in GoodNotes Beta the pen has a bit of a lag)
    3) Talking about bugs – when I change the color of the page it doesn’t show up in the notebook (it’s still white)

    And additions that would be great:

  16. I learned to write with a slight angle as it makes handwriting look better. I would like to be able to tilt my page instead of my device.

  17. The lasso tool allows you to move whatever you've circled. But I think that there could be a bit more use for the lasso, in my Journal Application that I use I'm able to Lasso tool and change them. Aside from moving the circled parts, I can also rotate and adjust the size of the words. If I zoom in or out the words would change sizes too. I think that this will help people write words and adjust them how ever they want to better fit the paper versus constantly rewriting words and hoping it will fit right.
