Grid spacing and ruler should follow standard measurements (2 squares = 1 cm)
I would like to suggest aligning the grid spacing and the ruler in GoodNotes with common measurement standards.
In many countries (for example in Europe), squared paper follows a standardized pattern where two squares equal exactly 1 cm. This standard is widely used in schools, universities, and technical work.
Currently in GoodNotes, however, two squares correspond to about 1.12 cm when measured with the built-in ruler. Because of this mismatch, the ruler becomes difficult to use for precise measurements or technical sketches. Lines drawn using the grid do not correspond correctly to real-world measurements.
This can be especially inconvenient for…4 votes -
Fully fledged Math integration
Now that graphs are an option, I would like to see this being improved and features being added. I use GoodNotes for maths a lot and I would want to add two graphs in one graph view, set an interval to a graph, recolor the graphs, display intersections with other graphs or the x-axis, support for calculus and equation solving algorithms to find parameters for a polynomial, for instance. That would be beneficial.

Text box tool bar is a terrible idea
The latest update has the text box tools floating on the page when I type. This is a nuisance and is extremely distracting. It makes it impossible to think and write. The previous toolbar system worked just fine. Either revert back to the earlier method or allow the floating toolbar to disappear while typing.
Please fix this pronto! Sometimes change for the change’s sake is just a bad idea. This is one of those times.

Flip/Mirror
It will be a big help for us, engineers, to flip/mirror a certain drawn object selected using lasso tool. Its a good feature for us since we always draw symmetrical figures.

searchable sticky notes
the sticky notes are searchable while expanded...but the instant you collapse them the content can't be searched..Also image addition to the sticky notes should be feature. And the text in the added images(screenshots) should be searchable as well.

[Audio Recording] Allow Manual Scrolling While Live Transcript Is Running
As a college student who uses audio recordings in lectures to ensure I can write exactly what the professor says, it is frustrating that I cannot scroll up while a live transcript is going. Each time I try to scroll up, it automatically pulls you back down to what is currently being transcribed. I would like to be able to scroll up, it keeps my place, and click a button when you want to resume current transcript.

Option to Hide undo/redo button
While writing down reference details of the contents being written in the notes, the undo/redo button often comes above it in the top right/left. Hiding it while using the gestures for undo/redo is a better option in this case.

Improve GoodNotes AI Performance
Currently, GoodNotes AI can only be used for basic document search (an advanced version of search) and asking questions within a document. Even when hints or correct answers exist in the document, it often responds with messages like, “The requested content cannot be found in the document. I will answer using general knowledge.”
In addition, I would like the AI to provide answers that directly address my questions, but instead it often gives summarized or reorganized responses, making it difficult to find the exact answer I am looking for.
For example, when I ask, “Is XX correct?”, the response usually…6 votes -
Floatingbar
Please consider adding an option to switch between a fixed and floating toolbar. The floating toolbar is distracting during long study sessions and slows down workflow. A fixed toolbar was much more efficient and comfortable to use. Having both options would greatly improve the user experience.

importing documents to a folder, search bar opening
currently with the new update, when you import a document to goodnotes, an annoying thing with the new update when you press
location-> it automatically opens the keyboard to let you search for a folder or document you want to import your document to, but it’s really annoying as if you are on an ipad, using the large keyboard, it blocks half the folders. Of course you can get rid of the keyboard and click on the folder but it is slow and takes up a lot of time when you want to import multiple separate documents quickly from a…3 votes -
Laser
Since the recent update, the laser got to make layers by each stroke. But it’s very inconvenient when I am writing letters, as the previous stroke shows up darker and the handwriting gets so messy.. please change it back so it can be used with one layer.

Spellcheck for Text Docs
Enable spellcheck in the Text Docs feature of Goodnotes. It would be useful to have the same spellcheck feature in the Text Docs feature as is seen in the Notebook function. As the Text Docs are used primarily for typing it would be good to have a spellcheck functionality.

Laser rendering mode for ball pen
I've noticed that my handwriting looks significantly better and smoother when using the Laser Pointer (Trail style) compared to any of the permanent pen tools.
The laser pointer seems to have a superior smoothing algorithm and lower latency that isn't currently replicated by the "Stroke Stabilization" settings on the standard Ball Pen. I would like to request a new pen type or a "Laser Mode" toggle for the Ball Pen that uses this exact rendering engine for permanent notes.
This would help users with slight hand tremors or those who find writing on glass difficult to achieve the same clean,…3 votes -
Bullet list / Sub-bullet points
Allow indentation with bullet points on the "Bulleted List" on the new text feature on Goodnotes 5, not just on the first line of bullet points. Similar to how you would take notes using bullet points in Microsoft, Google, or Pages. PLEASE!

Window and GoodNotes (Apple) Integration
On Windows 11, the GoodNotes app doesn't work as well as I would like.
The documents written in GoodNotes doesn't sync onto the Windows 11 app. Instead, I have to share them VIA a link and access them that way. I also use gDrive to sync my GoodNotes, but the UI of viewing GoodNotes files on gDrive is just ... ugly... Would much rather prefer to use GoodNotes on Windows 11 and my iPad.8 votes -

Unexpected lasso selection behavior
Recently, the lasso tool seems to have changed — if I select just a small part of a circle’s edge, it also selects anything crossing or inside the circle, even though I didn’t include them. It didn’t work like this before.

Create tabs on the side for easier access to the page/content
In Nursing school, we take a lot of notes. I'm sure other subjects else too. But I wish I didn't have to scroll through dozens of pages to find something. I wish I was able to add a little tab on the side, color code it and name it. I know you can "flag" It but it's not very helpful because I have to open the side and then try to find the one page I flagged.
For example. If I download a book - I have to scroll through all the pages to look for the chapters. If the…3 votes
