  1. In previous version I could open more than one window, so I could read my notes in one windows and edit another note in another window at the same time.
    Now my main workflow is broken.

  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. Have the shapes tool its independent color and line selection.
    The shapes tool uses at the moment the current color and line variant from the previously used pen. If you want another color or make it dotted that's fine.
    BUT if you change back to pen, the pen adapted the settings.
    You would have to change everything back from like orange dotted to blue single line before you could write again if you chose that for the shape.

  5. The recently added tape feature now allows us to reveal hidden content by tapping on the tape. However, I think it would be very convenient if there were a single button to hide or reveal all the tape on a single page or within an entire notebook.

  7. The iOS version allows you to turn off the cloud backup, but the Android version does not seem to have this capability. We are not allowed to store data in the cloud, so we need this ability.

  8. There can only be 3 colors on the tool bar. If you could make it where we can increase that amount, like on iOS, or at least give us 5-8 instead of 3, my life would be complete.

  9. My study sets get very long and sometimes I cannot remember what cards I have already made, a search feature on the study sets would be very helpful to avoid duplicate cards or to find something specific

  11. Bei mir löschen sich die gespeicherten Farben regelmäßig. Das nervt auf Dauer, weil ich ein System mit den Farben habe und gerne die gleichen hätte.

  12. I'm trying to use the web version of GoodNotes on a Windows laptop with a scroll wheel mouse and would like to see space bar panning enabled. I can only move left and right by zooming out then awkwardly pushing the mouse in the direction I want to go, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
    I can use the touchpad on my laptop but as I'm using another monitor, the laptop is closed.

    Space bar panning is a fairly standard feature for whiteboard apps.

  14. On the web version, when the caps lock is on, the keyboard shortcut features do not work until caps lock is disabled. Can you make it so the function/method that recognizes keyboard shortcuts ignores the case and still works when caps lock is on. Thank you

  15. if I have multiple voice records in one file, there should be like an icon\sticker or something to let us play each recording associated with its specific page

    ex: i have a recording to explain a topic but i have no indication in that page that there is an audio with it unless i name the recording page(blank)

  17. Hi! I’m a GoodNotes Windows (Windows Surface Pro) user and I love the app, but I’m experiencing consistent jitter/tembleque when writing slowly or making small diagonal strokes with a stylus (Windows Ink).
    This issue is especially noticeable during handwriting and affects the precision of letters.

    I would really appreciate if future updates could include:

    improved stroke smoothing for Windows Ink

    better handling of slow strokes and diagonal lines

    an option to adjust smoothing levels manually

    the same Stroke Engine improvements already available on iPadOS, if possible

    These changes would make handwriting on Windows much more natural and stable.
    Thank you…

  19. I appreciate all you did for android. I want to ask you to add the possibility to "open with GoodNotes" any type of docs. Also importing word/excel/ppt would be helpful, or maybe transforming them into pdf or text

  20. In recent months, Goodnotes has started to not recognize my hand as a separate entity from my Surface Pen. It only occurs in the pen and shape tool. There is NOT a palm detection setting to change this.
