  1. When importing a PDF, when the window pops up that asks you if you want to import into the current document or make it a new document, you should be able to change the file name in that window when you switch from the default “import to current document” to “import as new document”. Currently, if you choose to import it as a new document, it won’t let you change the file name until after you import. Would be more streamlined to allow this at the import phase rather than after.

  3. If you use the rubber to delete stuff, the rubber should snap to the ruler.

  4. Since the "Convert" feature was added to the Lasso tool in GoodNotes 5, the response time for the entire Lasso menu has become significantly slower, especially when a large amount of content is selected. I personally do not use the Convert feature, yet it affects overall performance. I would appreciate it if you could add an option to disable the Convert feature for users who don't need it.

  5. I love the new tape feature but I have A LOT of content that I need to tape over at a time! I would really love it if we had the option to make a box around what we want to tape and have the shape snap and fill in (like we have for the shape snap feature). My only other option currently is to make the pen as big as possible and color over an entire paragraph at once which has been very time consuming!

  7. Improve pencil drawing quality - currently too light to use and must be part of pen options rather than standalone as present.

  8. We need the ability to adjust the opacity for the highlighter tool and maybe other tools like pen and stickers but right now the highlighter is most important

  9. I have three requests.

    I would like to be able to sort folders and notebooks manually, instead of sorting by date, name, or type.

    Also, when I write slowly with a highlighter, the lines are automatically evened out.
    I would like to be able to turn that on and off in the settings.

    Also, when duplicating notes and combining them into one, I would like to be able to select and move them all at once, instead of moving them one at a time!

  10. In many exam settings, students are allowed to bring handwritten notes but not digitally written ones, even if created with a stylus on a tablet. To address this, I’m looking for a solution that makes digital notes look convincingly handwritten when printed.

    What I’m looking for:

    A pencil/brush tool with a slight grain, natural imperfections, and subtle color variation within a stroke — something that mimics real pencil or pen handwriting.

    Alternatively, a filter or export option that can be applied to a digital notebook (e.g., on an iPad) to make the final printout resemble authentic handwritten notes.

    The goal…

  14. So every time I've to choose a different notebook from a different document I'm being forced to exit my current notebook and go to documents and find my new notebook which makes the accessibility hard.
    In such case as we can see below OneNote by Microsoft has made it easier.
    As far as I know, this could be the only thing that Goodnotes lacks as of now.

  15. It would be great if you could load templates and stickers purchased in the shop directly into the template option (not just one page but all items that were purchased). It would also be very useful for stickers if they would simply appear in the sticker menu.

  16. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I hope this message finds you well.

    I am writing as a dedicated user of GoodNotes to express my appreciation for the remarkable tools and features your application offers. It has greatly enhanced my note-taking and productivity experience.

    I would like to humbly suggest the addition of a Freeform paper type—similar to the canvas style used in Apple’s Freeform app. As someone who often works with brainstorming, concept mapping, and creative planning, I find that a limitless canvas significantly supports fluid thinking and non-linear organization of ideas.

    While the existing page templates are incredibly useful for structured…

  18. Subject: Urgent Help Needed – Missing Pages After iCloud Sync + "Backup Failed" Message

    Hello GoodNotes Support Team,

    I'm experiencing a serious issue with iCloud syncing in GoodNotes. Two of my notebooks only partially synced—most of the pages are missing, and only a few remain. This happened even though the notebooks were fully saved before.

    Here’s what happened in detail:
    - I deleted and reinstalled the GoodNotes app to try fixing sync issues.
    - After reinstalling, I started the iCloud sync again.
    - However, the sync did not complete properly, and I keep seeing a red message in the upper…

  19. I hope the Lasso tool could change the thickness of the writing. Currently we could change the color, but at times we need the thickness to separate titles from body text that we couldn't do when we are busy taking notes. This could help the note review process slightly more efficient.

  20. 是否可以考虑在goodnote5加goodnote6的账户功能,并允许和apple id进行关联。以方便在设备切换不同id的情况下仍然可以正常使用。这不应该成为goodnote6的专有权利。
    Is it possible to consider adding the account function of goodnote6 to goodnote5 and allowing it to be associated with apple id? To facilitate the convenience of normal use when the device switches different ids. This should not be the exclusive right of goodnote6.
