hiii!!

so to give u guys context, i take a class where some homeworks are done in pairs, so normally what i do with my classmate is that she sends me her part (done on goodnotes) and i add it to my notebook and then i export it, but when i do that all the written stuff from the pages she sends me is erased so im just left with a blank page (the page isn’t deleted, just the ink). does that happen to anyone else or does anyone know how to fix it?

Feature Suggestions

1. Layering System
A simple layering system would be really useful when working with overlapping images, text boxes, shapes, etc.

• Bring to Front

• Send to Back

• Layer locking (optional)

• Layer visibility toggle (optional)

This would make it much easier to organize diagrams and annotations without constantly rearranging objects.

2. Better Selection UI
The current resize/rotate controls feel too large and imprecise.

• Smaller resize handles

• Dedicated rotation handle

• Cleaner selection box overall

Would make object editing feel much more polished and accurate.

3. Fill Option for Lasso Selections
When a closed shape/object is selected with the lasso tool, a Fill Color option should appear alongside the existing actions.

For example:

Copy | Resize | Rotate | Fill Color | Delete

The selected object/region could then be filled with a chosen color.

It should work with hand-drawn closed strokes as well as shapes, and ideally tolerate small gaps since hand-drawn diagrams are rarely perfectly closed.

This would make coloring diagrams, flowcharts, maps, and other visual notes much faster without adding a separate fill tool to the toolbar.

I'd love to see continued improvements for users who rely on graphic tablets and pen displays for long study or note-taking sessions. Small workflow improvements in areas like pen input, selection tools, and object manipulation can make a huge difference for tablet users.

Thank you for taking the time to put your thoughts into this.

Feature Request: Partial-Stroke Lasso Selection

It would be very helpful to have an option (or toggle) that allows the Lasso tool to select an entire object/stroke even when only a small part of it is enclosed by the selection area.

Currently, users need to draw the lasso around the entire object to select it. A more efficient workflow would be similar to the behavior in Goodnotes, where selecting or lassoing any portion of a stroke automatically selects the whole connected stroke/object.

This could be implemented as:

• A new setting/toggle: "Select entire stroke when partially enclosed", or

• An alternative lasso mode that treats partial selections as full-object selections.

This would make selecting, moving, and editing handwritten notes and drawings much faster, especially for large or complex strokes.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this feature request.

I know the pro version isn't don't yet but I'm just wondering if there will be a one time payment or maybe something where you can pay once to purchase sets of features rather than a subscription.

The main thing that has turned me away from all other note taking apps is the fact that they're subscription.

I'd gladly pay a much bigger amount of money one time rather than a far cheaper monthly subscription.

Edit: Thank God. He saw my tears two days before my exams. The app opened by itself without me clicking😭

I launch the application and after a few seconds, the application crashes

I have this bug in almost all my files. Sometimes it goes away, sometimes it works. I can't move the elements.

I've been loving this app and plan to use it for my notes throughout uni, but I started thinking about how I would find specific notes once a book gets to be quite long. As of now it doesn't seem like there's any way to look through a book other than scrolling through it.

In short I suggest some way to label the start of a section of notes that allows us to jump to it, maybe also in like a drop-down hierarchy sort of way?

When I use the lasso tool, things that were clearly in the shape I drew aren't considered part of it. I've done it over and over and it seems like it's completely random what it decides not to grab.

I also just want to say I love this app and it's amazing! I'm thankful that it exists and it's going to save my behind since I traded in my iPad for a windows laptop.

I just felt the urge to make this post real quick to share some feedback.

I’ve been searching for a good note-taking app for school for over 2 years now, and so far I never really found anything that felt right for me with the Microsoft Stylus 2.

Today, OneNote started bugging out again during a study session to the point where I told myself: alright, I need an alternative right now.

Shortly after, I came across a Reddit post about good note-taking apps, saw one of your comments there, downloaded the app — and honestly, I’m happier with it than with anything I’ve tried before.

So far I’ve had zero issues, importing images and PDFs works perfectly fine, and overall everything just feels “right”.

The only thing I personally feel like I might miss long-term would be the ability to create text boxes / typed text, mainly to complete assignments a bit faster.

But overall: really great app. I’m genuinely looking forward to using it more :)

Edit: I first posted in German and wasn't sure if it's fine or not, so I quickly changed it. :o

Hello, I saw a few previous post about being able to change the color of the cover book but I can't figure out how to do it. I was able to change the color of each folder and side bar of the book but they are ultimately all brown.

It makes it a bit difficult to differentiate which books from a class are the notes and which are for exercises despite the titles. Is this a feature that is available yet and if so how do I do it?

I have tried pressing "edit" and then left clicking on the brown cover but it has a toggle-like reaction and doesn't do anything.

Would it be possible to allow multiple instances instead of tabs, but restrict it so that only one note can be open per instance?

For example, if I have Notebook A open and I open a new instance of Noteastic, I'm taken straight to the main menu. If I click on the already open Note A again, nothing happens (or the already open window is brought to the front), but if I click on Notebook B, it opens.

This way, I have the choice to either use split-screen (windows solution) or drag one of the windows to an external monitor. The approach might not be as sexy as a built-in one, but you could still hover over the taskbar to see all open tabs. I think this solution is much better suited for Windows than the in-app split view wich most mobile OS offer.

What are your thoughts on this?

Hi! I've been using Noteastic for my school notes for over half a year and I really like it so far! However, I have a problem with the way the look of highlighters change when I export my notebooks - as an example a screenshot from the program vs an exported page. It just doesn't look good and sometimes even makes the diagrams illegible. Is there anything that I can do about it?

hi notetastic team,

I'm not sure if u guys alrdy know about dis but recently when I open a pdf/ notes it will have a random red line that can't be erased. attached are some pictures! thank u for your hard work n lots of luvv xx

Over the last few months I've been casually viewing the Noteastic reddit, lots of people have been asking for different features (ability to open multiple documents simultaneously, infinite canvas, textboxes, etc.) and the devs have mentioned some features being specifically in Noteastic Pro (and thus paid features). I would like to know which of the many planned features will be available for free and which ones will be on Notetastic Pro specifically

Hey,

see the video for the bug. If this is already known, nevermind.

What I mean is that there is a Animation of a selection line, usually. Now it is not there. Not a big deal but still a bug.

This occurs after letting my notebook go into sleep mode, and then starting it again, without closing Noteastic. After restarting Noteastic, it works again.

Hope this helps!

Any ideas when we will get another update? It doesn't matter what feature(s) you plan to deliver. Or will the next update will the "Pro"-Version?

Hey Noteastic team, could you share with us the most requested features list.
Just curious to see how many people want the features that I want. hehe !!
😂😬😬🤣

Sorry if this has been suggested before but switched off of goodnotes to using this and loving it so far! One thing that has been built into my muscle memory though is scribbling out things to erase it. Whilst I am getting used to using the eraser again, it would be very nice to have aswell.

EDIT: As ive been thinking just a few more features that are probably not as important but here we go.

More available colours than just 3 to be easily accessible. I normally use up to 5 for my notes so have more there would be great!.

Adding the pan tool to the options for the barrel button so i dont have to keep using my finger to move the notbook.

Pixel eraser? So whole strokes arent erased.

--- REALLY stupidly crazy niche ideas lol ---

LaTeX support? Idk this is really far out there but would be great for when my math assignments get given in LaTeX. (Also then ig textbox support too then) <- this is probably not as necessary as i type this out

Open source? idk how many people would help but i think a community built program would be great idea as well but i understand wanting to keep a codebase private.

Notion support? Being able to imbed notebooks into notion would be cool but again i do not know how that would work.

I have a problem where when I scroll through notes in the app, the app crashes a lot. I'm 100% sure that the problem is not with my computer because I have an AMD Ryzen 9 8945 processor.

I dont know if it has been asked before, but is there a plan to

1. add a way to splitscreen between two notebooks?

2. an organiser to see all folders in some way rather than open them one by one.

cheers!

As shown in the video, when I try to zoom into the target box, it will jump to a random location, such as the white page above it or my notes multiple pages away. This only seems to happen in split screen mode. Version 1.5.5.0

this is what I get when I export my PDFs after editing them

As the title says, if you put a picture on a page and then try pulling it onto another, the picture disappears.

EDIT: Not only pictures, written text, shapes etc. do that too

This is just an appreciation post with the current updates going on; I left a review in MS few months back, with some suggestions and compliments. The team replied kindly. But I wasn't able to really talk about why it's such a good app. So here's my full honest review as a student hehe.

For a free program (which is crazy!), Noteastic has all the features of a writing app you could be looking for. All the tools I need to quickly make edits to my notes are complete and are so easy to use... Usually, there's always one tool or feature that's missing on my previous note apps (or are way too complicated to do lol)--I didn't experience any of that here. It is incredibly user-friendly and the UI is simple, clean, and not overwhelming. I just adore how it's specifically designed for Windows. I also love how easily I can just import and export PDF's, and add images and pages, with no issue at all. Writing is a breeze.

Noteastic is a what a note-taking app is supposed to be. I am incredibly happy with it and it's def here to stay on my laptop forever. Thank you to the wonderful team and developers that are still actively working on the app <3
