GoodNotes AI is Unnecessary
The new features feel unnecessary and almost like bloatware. Other LLMs, such as DeepSeek, Gemini, etc are AI tools that other companies, universities, etc have licenses with. The AI credits are also useless - what is the incentive to use GoodNotes AI vs DeepSeek, Gemini, GPT4, etc, if you need to pay $9.99 more per month.
There isn't a way to turn off AI in GoodNotes either, which is pretty frustrating.
A huge motivation for people to switch from Notability to GoodNotes was the better UI and affordability. Paying $9.99/month for AI credits, for a feature I haven't seen many…39 votes -
Universal Color Palettes
Hello, could you all add the ability to have all of our colors be universal across all pens, pencils, sticky notes, text, and etc.? It is annoying trying to use a color that I know I have added with the pen but did not feel like adding to the pencil, text, and highlighter separately. Could we also have the ability to create color pallet groups? Similar to the one in procreate (Picture below). Sometimes it is over whelming trying to find a color. And most of my colors mimic my real life pen colors. So being able to place colors…

Drawing on text document
Following the recent update which added the text document, I think that users should be able to have the option of writing, drawing and highlighting on the page. For me my study method is typing out my lecture notes in OneNote and then exporting to Goodnotes to highlight and annotate. However, if I was able to do this with the text document feature, it would make things so much easier. Not just for me but other users also.

Built-in browser
Built-in browser or web search panel
When working on a note, project, or research database, I often need to look up information on Google or check the reference on the website.
With an in-app browser or a small search panel, users can browse and take notes without leaving good notes, creating a smoother and more efficient workflow.

New update = hot garbage
- The tool bar being ON my document is blocking parts of my notebook, making my working area smaller.
- When in split screen mode half of the toolbar disappears(we used to be able to scroll over still) and will only reappear if i make the window bigger.
- Instead of functions being displayed on the toolbar i now have to press extra buttons to get to things like the bookmark, but why?
- Why is my pen automatically the lasso? In GoodNOTES you would think i would automatically need the pen no?
- Not everything needs to be a drop down menu! The double…

Align and space shapes
Love the new shapes tool but it would very useful if shapes (or in a broader sense also all other objects like images, text, stickers, etc.) could be aligned and spaced out evenly to make notes look more professional.
Also the option to eg. center elements on the page via an x/y axis. There could be an option to turn automatic snapping/ guidelines on or off.
It is very difficult to eyeball objects to be consistently spaced and aligned and often results in pages not looking consistent.

Enable the creation of equations directly with the keyboard, as in Word for example. Latex or Unicode equations
Please, could you add the option of being able to insert equations and characters directly with the keyboard. Just as it is done in Microsoft Word, it would help and speed up the process of inserting and writing equations directly with the keyboard of the iPad or computer

edit imported pdf
It would be great if you can edit imported pdfs directly in the app. Ex. if professors have mistake on slides it would be nice to be able to erase it rather than just scribbling on it, which just makes it look messy and takes up space on page unnecessarily

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.

Theme Customization
Please introduce a theme customization feature in Goodnotes.
It would be great if users could personalize the app by selecting their own colors or applying themes from a theme store.
In addition to light and dark mode, please allow customization of the writing UI, menu colors, and background styles as well.2 votes -
Transparency on sticky notes
Hi, so I use Goodnotes mainly for math. The way I use it it by downloanding the PDF of a book, read it chapter by chapter and do the exercised on a sticky note inside of the book. The problem is that the sticky note often covers up the exercise (if I have a long exercise) and i have to constantly move the sticky note around when I want to read it again. It would be cool if one could make the stickynote transparent, either permanently or toggle transparent when long holding on the sticky note. Thank you!
