  1. The new update is terrible, the toolbar I don't mind very much (annoying but I can live) but the shape features are absolutely terrible. Before the new update I could make circles at an angle and trapezoids to my liking, and perfect right angles (stem major so every important) and now the only thing I can draw are ovals straight across, I cant even make a trapezoid, when I use the hold feature to draw a right angle it doesn't come out a perfect right angle it is always slightly off, and when I use the shape feature to make…

  2. Open Practice should have a timer and auto flip function.
    Scenario:
    You want a quick run through of the material but remain accountable. You start the timer. You get 2 minutes to look at the question and then it flips to the answer. It refreshes your memory without allowing you to skip thinking. Plus its hands free.

  4. Add Hungarian recognition. Lot of Hungarian students would appreciate at least Hungarian grammar even if the Hungarian handwriting recognition is not available

  5. I think part of handwriting with pen/pencil is ruining your page with endless eraser marks. To mimic the slow and deliberate process of writing on physical paper, I'd like there to be the option where pen cannot be erased and the entire page must be tossed. You can implement a 2-step verification feature for those that really want to modify their pen marks so they don't have to restart a cheat sheet if their pen slips...

  6. This option adds a 2,5 inch margin at the right side of the document for annotating. The margin is collapsible afterwards or can be kept open permanently. This way one can annotate on PDFs with tiny margins without having to compress all the info.

  7. Please look at the attached photo. Does this look normal to you? Even after hiding the status bar to secure more screen space, it still looks like this. It is extremely irritating that one-fifth of the screen is wasted for stacks of some 'bars' that are useless 95% of the time, and I want to hide ALL OF THEM immediately.

    1. Please make it possible to enable read-only mode + hide tab bar + hide tool bar even while writing.
    2. JUST LET ME TAKE NOTES IN FULL SCREEN WITHOUT ANY DISTRACTIONS

    I simply want to take notes in full screen. I…

  9. After the new tape inclusion, it would be nice to have a button to hide all tapes again or to show the content below the tapes at the same time.

  11. Tape도 펜처럼 직사각형을 그렸을때 안에가 채워지면 좋겠습니다. 그리고 그 위에 필기를 할 수 있도록 하여 포스티잇 처럼 눌렀을때 그 밑에 내용을 볼 수 있고 다시 누르면 위에 내용을 볼 수 있도록 할 수 있으면 좋겠습니다. 이렇게 하면 특히 오답 학습을 할때 매우 효과적이고 실용적으로 사용할 수 있다고 생각합니다

  13. Although GoodNotes AI is currently somewhat limited, I hope it evolves to include a wide range of features similar to the Chromium browser extension Sider.

    • Support for multiple AI models beyond the standalone GoodNotes AI model using a credit-based system (e.g., GPT-5.4, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6, etc.)
    • Screenshot functionality
    • File attachments (• Supported: web pages, PDF, DOC, XLSX, CSV, JPG, JSON, MP3, WAV, M4A, MPGA, etc. • Limits: up to 6 files, maximum 100MB per file)
    • Read this page aloud
    • Artifacts: Easily create and present within the GoodNotes document window, enabling real-time interaction and a…

  14. I am a great fan of this app, however since the new update (version 7.0.4), I've noticed that the pen and highlighter snap to straight lines/shapes feature has been substantially less accurate/sensitive which makes drawing graphs and models incredibly difficult as it will merge many of my 'corners' into a single line. I draw tables with the highlighter tool but dislike how separate strokes will be darker where overlapped, so being able to draw a graph in a single stroke requires the sensitivity and accuracy from before the update. Currently, it doesn't matter how many 'corners' I draw with the…

  15. I really appreciate that you can set a default font type and size for text boxes. It's really helped me streamline my notes when needed. I also really love the sticky note feature, but it's quite time consuming to change the font type and size when typing on sticky notes.

    It would be amazing if a future update would give you the option of setting a default font type and size for typing in sticky notes! Thanks!

  16. Have the ability to mark a notebook as a “favorite” within the notebook when it is open. I like to use this feature so I can find specific notebooks more easily within all of the folders. I sometimes forget to make one a favorite and accidentally close it and it can be challenging to find it once its closed.

  17. “smart" auto-adjustment that changes the physical pen thickness (e.g., from 0.5mm to 0.2mm) like the laser point have while we zoom in & zoom out.

    This feature would be great & much helpful instead of manually clicking & adjusting the pen thickness.

  19. When using the text box to answer questions on homework, the pop up box covers up the question I’m trying to answer. So can we please make that movable or hideable?

  20. My app just updated, making the toolbar different. Now if I want to use the shape tool to make straight lines or something, I have to manually change every setting from size to color to match my pen tool every single time I change colors/sizes. This makes it very frustrating when I do color coded notes every single day that need me to switch between colors, line thickness, and free drawing vs straight lines constantly (as is visible in my attached screenshots). It was never an issue before, so the fact that it is now is very upsetting. On top…
