1. Drop down arrow for the rest of our Pen colors

   have our 4 favorite pen colors then next to it have a drop-down arrow (just like the arrow for hidden tools) with the rest of our color palettes. That way we won’t have to constantly scroll back and forth to change our stroke settings and so we won’t have limited colors options / only 12 of our favorite pen colors

2. Vertices/ points for shapes

   Previously I could easily edit the points/vertices of the shape….. with the new update, it is much inconvenient to edit the points. Please bring it back… it is easily to teach triangle area if I could easily shift the vertex

4. UI Issues, Dark Mode Bugs, and Feature Requests

   After GoodNotes switched to Version 7, I immediately started looking for a new note-taking app; otherwise, I was frustrated enough to break my iPad. During this time, I used other applications and discovered many features that I wish GoodNotes had.
   I downloaded the latest version on December 14, and while almost all bugs were fixed, there are still critical issues preventing me from using GoodNotes as my daily driver.
   Here is a detailed summary of the issues and suggestions:
   1. Background Contrast:
   When the iPad is in Dark Mode, the workspace background behind the paper is too dark. I wish there were a dark gray (anthracite) color or customizable theme options for this specific area.
   2. Sticker Visibility (Critical):
   This is a major deal-breaker. I create stickers by drawing shapes with a black pen. In Dark Mode, these are completely invisible. I have to turn off Dark Mode to see them, but then the background becomes white and blends with my paper template, causing visual confusion.
   3. Text Tool Issues:
   • Presets: Having only one default text style is limiting. I need multiple text style presets that I can quickly switch between for different templates. (See attached screenshot).
   • Text Box Size: The text boxes are excessively large. Even when using the default font, there is unnecessary padding between the text and the box borders. This causes significant clutter when there are multiple text elements on the page.
   • Selection Conflict: Because of the large text boxes, when I try to select an image located behind or near a text, I accidentally select the text box instead. I then have to go into the Lasso Tool settings to disable text selection, which is a very tedious and inefficient workflow.
   4. Document Dark Mode:
   A feature to invert/convert the document itself to Dark Mode is needed. I have attached before-and-after screenshots from another app as an example.
   5. Image Borders:
   I often take photos of whiteboards in class to add to my notes. However, since the whiteboard and my digital paper are similar in color, the image blends in and is hard to distinguish. It would be incredibly useful to have a feature that adds borders or frames to images automatically.
   6. Page Expansion / Margins:
   When importing lecture slides (PDFs), professors often leave no empty space for notes. I need the ability to expand the page boundaries or add extra margins around the imported document so I can write notes on the sides. This functionality exists in almost all other note-taking applications.
   Given the premium price of GoodNotes, I expect more comprehensive features, such as a built-in scientific calculator, a custom template creation tool (down to adjustable line spacing/thickness), a more compact audio recording interface, and a built-in video player.
   Thank you for considering this feedback.

5. Floating views

   When working on math it is very common to have a formula that you need to reference often. At the moment we always just have to either zoom out, or keep scrolling back to the section we wrote it in.

   It would be great if we could do some kind of rectangular selection and have just that section of the page become a floating popup window (perhaps as a small square on the opposite side of our writing hand?) showing the contents that we selected, so that we dont have to keep awkwardly navigating through all the pages.

   And maybe this extra feature is asking too much, but it would be amazing if for each notebook we could then have some kind of "index" of all the selections we made so that we could frequently switch what we show in our popup window.

6. Customizable Apple Pencil quick bar

   I want to customize the order of Apple Pencil quick bar. Currently, Customizing tool bar(not Apple pencil quick bar) is available, but not Apple pencil quick bar.
   I use Lasso tool a lot, but at quick bar, it's way to far to approach on it.

7. Lack of snapping and reference points when using shapes

   Hi everyone,
   I’d like to report a limitation I’ve noticed when working with shapes in Goodnotes and ask if others feel the same.

   When drawing or editing shapes such as circles, squares, and lines, there is currently no snapping or anchoring system. This makes it difficult to align shapes precisely or connect them to each other.

   In particular:

   There are no visible reference points (such as center points, midpoints, or edge anchors).

   It’s hard to find the exact center of a circle or square.

   Aligning shapes or connecting lines to other shapes requires a lot of manual adjustment and is often imprecise.

   This can be limiting when creating diagrams, technical drawings, graphs, or structured notes, where precision is important.

   I think adding automatic snapping and anchor points (centers, edges, midpoints, intersections) would significantly improve the shape tool and make Goodnotes much more powerful for these use cases.

   Does anyone else experience this issue or would find such a feature useful?

8. [Toolbars] Integrating the ‘Eraser Function’ into ‘Writing Tools’

   Currently, the Eraser Function and Writing Tools are two different tabs. This disrupts the continuous flow of writing, as users have to frequently toggle between two different tabs. This issue is especially vital as the tabs are at a higher eye level, thus users have to take some moments to locate, and select the eraser function when needed, which also causes users to mistakenly tap onto another mini tab.

   This brings about inconvenience to users, especially since the flow of thoughts is disrupted.

   Thus, I would propose shifting the position of the eraser function into the writing tools tab. This would greatly enhance users’ experience with GoodNotes. Would really appreciate if this feedback is taken, thank you so much!

9. Support for STEM Students (LaTex, Codeblocks, Circuit blocks)

   I know a lot of engineering students that use this app, but have to use many other apps as well to take coding, circuit or higher level math classes. I use https://www.stempad.com/editor but would rather use GoodNotes6 because of all your other great features. The code and circuit block don't even need to be functional, just formatted like code and maybe helps you code like VS Code based on the language. It just takes a lot of time going back and forth between apps.

11. Capabilities for Andorid and Windows

    It would be nice if Android and Windows finally got the same capabilities as Apple. Adding new fonts, uploading stickers, and many other things unfortunately don't work at all. This has been a known issue for years.

15. allow bigger font sizes and readability in the text document file

    Firstly, i would like to say im working with goodnotes 6, and a macbook air

    1. the text document is a new feature which I understand but at the moment ive no idea why its pushed to production. the text size is so small and doesnt work when i try to make it bigger, i cant change the font size. Allow us to change the font size of paragraphs because now it's so small im basically straining to see

    2. allow me to copy and paste vcscode code into the code block. ive no idea why i have to retype everything in when i can just copy and paste but it does not work at all.

    3. allow nested bullet points. there are many instances i would need a nested bullet points but atm goodnotes do not have any. i like the way notion made their notetaking website, but since i paid for goodnotes, i would like to use it to keep all my notes, especially because i need the collab feature

    4. allow light and dark mode switching. my macbook system is in dark mode but i specifically switch it to light just so i can see my text document in light, there should be a feature to allow us to switch to light without switching the system feature

    there are so many other things goodnotes can improve on but for now this is just the text document.

16. Editable floating toolbar (apple pencil pro)

    When I squeeze the Apple Pencil Pro, the floating toolbar (Palette) appears. It currently contains many tools I rarely use, while the Lasso tool — which I use constantly — is placed almost at the end of the list.
    Please add an option to customize/reorder the tools in the Apple Pencil Pro squeeze toolbar (Palette).

17. Functions Needed

    1. The text tool should be pinned all the time and not having to pin it each time.

    2. A lock function or layer function. Noteful has this and they are significantly cheaper than goodnotes.

    3. Move the stupid back button back on the toolbar. It takes up space for my document. And covers the document. For us digital planner people the space is important.
