  2. it's really annoying to have to leave the pen to scroll with the mouse because the scrolling bar is invisible. WHY?! i want to scroll with the bar on the side without putting away the pen to grab the mouse and scroll with the wheel. yes the scroll bar reappears when i scroll, but it's useless because it disappears after 2 seconds and does not appear in any way other than wheel scrolling with the mouse. VERY ANNOYING! scrolling should be available in few ways (like Adobe Acrobat) but here for some reason you only can scroll with the wheel.…

  3. As what apple's version can do, I think it is important to make it easier to import pdfs to the app. In IOS version, we can directly import pdf to goodnotes app in the sharing function, but now, we need to open the app and choose the pdf, which is very inconvenient.

  4. I just recently started using Goodnotes as a way to take notes while listening to live lectures. Due to the live nature of this, it requires a lot of shorthand note-taking. Specifically, I shorten the word "Number" to "#", which is a regular shorthand for many people. However, when I type "# " (specifically, # with a space after), the Text Document auto formats and creates a new line with a much larger font that has been made bold. This regularly breaks up my flow when note-taking. From my research, Goodnotes does not allow for Custom Formatting. But I also…

  5. 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.

  7. I would like the ability to search across all documents, not just within a single file.
    For example, if I search for a specific word like “rockxgr” and I don’t know which document contains it, the system should return all document(s) where that text appears.
    In short, a global search feature that scans all documents and identifies where the specified word or phrase is located

  10. 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.

  11. Please can we have the ability to have the same subscriptions from iOS to Android/windows. I would like to be able to use Goodnotes across my various electronics because I love it and use it constantly on my iPad. But right now due to having the "Special Edition" subscription that is apparently "Only available on Apple platforms" I can't use my favorite note taking app on my windows computer.

  12. 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

  13. 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…

  14. Goodnotes offers a great digital note-taking experience, especially with the ability to annotate directly on books and documents. This feature is highly valuable for students and professionals who want to keep their study or work materials organized and accessible.

    However, there are some limitations that affect the overall usability. One significant drawback is that Goodnotes does not allow writing in a fully formatted document style like a traditional word processor. This makes it challenging to keep notes tidy, symmetrical, and well-formatted, which can be frustrating for users who prefer a more structured layout when organizing their notes.

  15. Can yall pretty please make a feature to where we can choose a default color for the text box that isn’t the black one. I hate having to change my text box to the color I want each time I make a new text box.

  16. Is goodnotes simply being left to die on windows? My pen no longer accepts changes in settings (if I change line style, weight, or type of pen no change is enacted) and palm detection is awful.

  17. When it comes to Goodnotes for Android, I've been using it for approximately two weeks. What I want is the ability to choose recently opened documents using a top bar similar to that found in iOS and a fountain pen pan tool. I'd want to have tip flatness and add the desired color set. I'm hoping it will be improved so that it is beneficial to the majority of people.

  19. It would be great if creating text boxes felt more flexible.
    For example, when holding a modifier key (such as Left Ctrl), it should be possible to draw a text box directly in any size by dragging.

    Additionally, if the text inside the box becomes too large to fit, the font size should automatically decrease so the text always stays within the fixed dimensions of the box.
    This would prevent the text box from resizing itself and keep the layout consistent.

  20. Estaria mas sencillo y tambien fluido poder mover la barra de herramienta de escritura a los lados de la pantalla (izquierda, derecha, abajo), tambien podrian agregar que para cambio de color sea presionando en un icono y despligue los colores que ya tienes en la barra de herramientas sin tener que abrir toda la barra, al igual que poder esconderlo para tener mayor visibilidad y espacio para escribir.
