Bring back the ability to draw straight lines
After the latest update, drawing a straight line using the shapes tool is often impossible: If the line I'm trying to draw is close to another line it will snap to either a curved line or a straight line in a very different position from where I drew it. This is a major regression.
In the attached picture, I drew a square and attempted (several times) to draw a diagonal straight line from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. The first time it snapped to a vertical line, the second time it snapped to a horizontal line,…

One Large Text Document for AI Generated Notes from Audio/ Pause Button
It would be really nice if we could have the option for the AI generated notes from different audio clips to go into one text doc/generated note. For example, if I had notes from one module but it took 2 lectures to get through, I could add them to the same text document. All the AI generated Notes for one notebook would be in one document. Alternatively, having a pause button for the recording (NOT STOP) so that it paused then continued recording in the same audio clips would be great. OR the ability to combine audio clips or combine…

automatically move to end of a notebook on open
It would be great to have a setting that would cause the notebook to open to the last page. I use my notebooks to study and take notes on books I read, so each notebook has more then a few pages.

opt out of AI
add an option to turn off ALL generative "AI" features. it's resource-hogging bloatware, a privacy violation, and UI clutter that makes your app harder to use. i don't want your AI training on my material, i don't want it cluttering up my workspace, i don't want it slowing down my device. i don't want it anywhere.
i will be deleting this app from all devices and strongly recommending my students and colleagues do not use it until there is an option to not have hypeware bloat ruining its functionality.

Undo/Redo Button Placement Significantly Reduces Usability
The relocation of the “Undo” and “Redo” buttons from the top right corner in GoodNotes 5 to the top left corner in GoodNotes 6 has significantly impacted usability. When using the undo function, it is essential to visually track how far changes have been reverted. With the buttons now placed on the top left, my right hand not only has to move across the entire screen(!!!), but it also obstructs the view while tapping, making it difficult to see what is being undone in real time.
This disrupts the workflow immensely and slows down note taking. For me, this change…1 vote -
Natural Switching Between Handwriting and Typing Without Tool Changes
In my study and note-taking workflow, I naturally switch between handwriting and typing. While GoodNotes allows adding a typing block, the current experience feels too simple and not fully integrated with the handwritten document, which makes the transition less practical during real study sessions.
A more natural interaction could greatly improve this experience: writing with the Apple Pencil would continue to produce handwriting anywhere on the page, while tapping the screen with a finger would instantly open the keyboard and allow typing directly at that location—without manually switching tools or modes.
This fluid “pen writes, finger types” interaction would remove…

Please put copy and paste back
Why did you change the copy and paste? It takes way too long to copy and paste an item now. I hate how it asks me a question each time I simply want to paste an item. I don’t understand this change. The question of “allow paste”should just be a setting you can pick outside of the regular function. I get behind in my note taking because i constantly have to answer the copy and paste question. The function was so much better before. Seriously considering different note taking app because of the tool changes. We were paying for a…

Major UX Overhaul needed for Flashcards & Study Sets
While Goodnotes is world-class for note-taking and PDF annotation, the flashcard creation and editing interface feels outdated and clunky by comparison. The UI is unintuitive and lacks the fluid editing experience found in the rest of the app.
Furthermore, the current 'Smart Learn' mode is not advanced enough for high-volume users. I would like to see a true Spaced Repetition System (SRS) implemented—similar to Anki’s algorithm—where cards are shown based on specific difficulty levels and memory retention. At the very least, please allow us to customize these intervals. For medical students, having a programmable and efficient flashcard system is essential…

Lack of interoperability for Flashcards / Study Sets
Goodnotes is an amazing tool for handwriting, but its Flashcard system feels isolated. Currently, compatibility with other apps is non-existent because the app only accepts and exports its own format.
I want to be able to share my materials with friends who use different platforms and vice versa. It would be a game-changer if Goodnotes allowed us to export/import sets in common formats (like those used by Anki). In a high-stakes environment like medical school, interoperability isn't just a 'plus'—it’s a necessity. Please stop the format lock-in and let us study collaboratively!2 votes -

Docs - allow customizing highlight color
In a Text Docs when I use the color highlighter I cannot select the same colors as in a handwritten note or where I insert a text box. In text docs there is a very limited number of highlighters and the color cannot be customized.

Handwritten text inside tables
Currently tables can only be created inside documents; and in documents you cannot write handwritten text.
In the future, if tables will be available inside whiteboards and notes, would be useful to have handwritten text inside tables.
Of course a limit could be the cell. Once you began to write in a cell, the cell or the related column and row should expand accordingly to the size of the text or, once you finish to write the handwritten text, and the text is bigger compared to the cell, it should be hidden like what happens in ms excel.1 vote -
Snap to line/grid & Customized profile pic
Shape not snapping to grid is the only reason my friend is not switching to Goodnotes. He’s an engineer and it would be incredibly helpful. Also please allow us to customize our profile picture color at least. Right now, it’s a color that’s unlucky in my country, so I would really appreciate it.

Slack Integration
I'd like to see integrations made with Slack - the ability to assign/tag a person to a task. The ability to share a Goodnotes document with Slack which would allow Mac/Windows/Linux users to see those notes.

Write with Pencil over Text Document
I mainly use the new Text Doc template and type up the majority of my notes. I'd like an easy way to add handwriting to the text document.
Also, I've noticed that it is very hard to add a phone to a Text Doc template.

Project Management / To Do Management
Create a PM/To Do Management template that has the ability to create custom fields with dropdown lists.
For Example:
Auto Date Created
PM/To Do Name - Conduct Ongoing Training
Assigned To <Multi Picklist & Drop Down Options of names we created in settings) - It would also be great to be able to assign this to people in a MS Exchange Server or Slack Server (we use both)
Note: We need to identify training refresher topics.
Due Date: Optional field that can integrate back to MS Exchange Calendar, Outlook 365 calendar, Thunderbird calendar, and Google.
Status: Dropdown of predefined fields…

Live Collaboration Mac to Windows
I've had to move to OneNote (which I am not fond of) because I am the only one using a Mac. I wanted to create an Agenda where I could tag people to assign them to tasks. However, I was not able to get the sharing/collaboration to work because all the other team members are using Windows. I need to be able to share from Mac to Windows and Windows to Mac while allowing live collaboration where we can all make edits and share updates.

我希望增加中文手写实时美化功能
我是一名中国用户，我希望增加一个手写字美化功能，美化成特定类似手写字体。因为中国人的写字差异会非常大。我们有些自己写的字能读得懂，如果展示给其他人看，或者保存下来可能会有比较大的困难，对于写字难看的人。所以希望加入字体实时美化的功能。现在一些中国app已经有这样的功能，希望贵公司的可以跟进。I am a user from China, and I would like to suggest adding a handwriting beautification feature that can transform handwriting into a specific, aesthetically pleasing handwritten font. There is a vast disparity in how different Chinese people write. For those with poor handwriting, their original script might be legible to themselves but difficult for others to read or problematic to save for future reference. Therefore, I hope to see a real-time handwriting beautification feature. Some Chinese apps have already implemented this, and I hope your company can follow suit.
