[Line Spacing] Restore precision adjustment to hundredths instead of whole numbers
Previously, line spacing was to the hundreths place (eg. 29.38) but is currently rounded to whole numbers (eg. 29). This prevents text from fitting on the lines in the in-app templates, even when adjusting font size, and essentially renders those templates useless.
Moreover, it's frustrating to see a clear break between previously typed notes neatly formatted to fit the templates and newly typed notes with spacing different than that of the lines on the pages (and previous text).
I cannot stress enough how much I appreciated the precision line spacing, it truly affects the entire app experience. Please please please…

[Audio Recording] Prevent full menu from opening when unpausing in mini player
Please make it so that every time you unpause a recording on the miniplayer, the whole menu does not automatically pop up (Video demonstration attached).
It takes up a large part of the screen and moves the whole note page so I need to readjust every time, and when I play and pause one segment repeatedly I need to close it every time. I really enjoyed how it was in the previous update, where the bar was simply at the top next to a play/pause button. The new UI is fine, I just really don't want the whole menu popping…2 votes -
scan text from images and books for goodnotes AI
I import a lot of older books and text images from classes, but in order to use goodnotes AI, the words in the imported PDF need to be actual text.
MacOS does it well in preview, but I can't export it as embedded text from the image scan, so I'll have to resort to janky online tools that take forever to read the images then ultimately import it again to goodnotes.
I've seen some occassional messages from the AI sidebar asking if it can read it, but it never does and the message is sporatic anyway. How can goodnotes read…

Improved Pencil Tool Sensitivity and Shape
The pencil tool could benefit from the possibility of regulating sensitivity, stabilization, stroke streamlining, and CONCENTRATION allowing for smoother, more controlled lines when writing or sketching. At the moment, it feels a bit too dull and diluted, making precise work difficult. Additionally, it would be great if the pencil tip were round instead of flat, to better mimic the feel of a real pencil and produce more natural, consistent strokes.

Suggestion
Dear GoodNotes Developers,
I hope this doesn’t come across as too forward, but I have a suggestion I’d like to share.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could create a dedicated bug report channel here.
For example, when a Sticky Note is positioned at the center or bottom of the screen, the screen automatically moves whenever the keyboard is opened. I’ve reported this issue multiple times through the in-app bug reporting, but even after several updates over the past few days, the issue still hasn’t been addressed.
There are also other ongoing issues, such as scrolling glitches, pen input…2 votes -

Shape tool
I really love the addition of the elbow/curved line correctors, perfect shape tools, and stroke settings, however the issues coinciding with these are making them hard to enjoy.
1. Arrows and other connecting lines auto attach to other shapes in the document with seemly no way of detaching them. I understand they are called connecting lines for a reason and are meant for connecting diagrams and flow charts, but I almost never use them to connect objects or shapes. This makes using them to draw arrows and other pictures very frustrating and annoying. The new shape tool does not have…2 votes -

Rotating items using lasso
I found this feature very helpful with my creative designs in previous versions of the app. I have long loved Goodnotes and am disappointed that I can no longer easily use this feature. While using lasso you can see that I can adjusted the size but there is no longer the option to rotate the selected shape.

Why was it removed?
Why were the Arabic fonts removed? All my friends and I are upset about the removal of the Arabic fonts. If they are not returned, I and all my friends will cancel the subscription and it will not be renewed. This is a tragedy. I have a project that I have been working on and coordinating for three years. I am surprised that today it is in a state of chaos because of the removal of the fonts that I was applying to it.

[shapes] Please bring back the old shape settings
I can’t really use the new shape tool to teach geometry.
The new version
- attaches the handwritten data to the shape, so I can’t move them separately
- automatically deletes parts of my handwritten notes if it’s on a shape
- it’s not possible to rotate the shapes.
- I can’t remove the border of the shape.I attached a few drawings that could be made easily in the previous versions.
Thanks if you consider to bring back the previous settings for the shape tool.2 votes -
Dark Theme for Slide Show / Presentation Mode
I would love to see a dark theme option in Slide Show (Presentation Mode). Currently, presentations are displayed with a light background, which can be harsh on the eyes, especially in low-light environments such as lectures or bedside teaching.
Notability already offers a Dark Presentation Mode, and it’s extremely helpful for reducing eye strain and improving readability during night study sessions or when presenting in dim rooms.
Adding this feature in GoodNotes would:
Make presentations more comfortable on the eyes.
Improve usability for students, educators, and professionals who work at night.
Keep GoodNotes competitive with similar apps.

OCR for Inserted Images and Imported PDFs
It would be incredibly useful if Goodnotes could apply OCR to both inserted images and imported PDFs. This would allow users to search, highlight, and copy text from all types of study materials.

Recording Playback Window
When listening to recordings, the pause, play, and progress bar used to be at the top of the screen and now they are in a window and in the way and I often accidentally hit it with my hand or pencil which is incredibly frustrating. Please put it back.

Marker Overlay Tape Triggers Selection Mode
When using tape over a marker highlight, lifting the tape automatically switches the app into selection mode. Please fix this behavior so that removing tape does not trigger selection mode.

When using the Text Tool, the newly created text box should automatically span the entire paper width (or full usable margin width) without
I am a user of GoodNotes on a Microsoft Surface Studio (Windows version) . When using the Text Tool, the newly created text box should automatically span the entire paper width (or full usable margin width) without manually resizing each time.
Why it’s important:
Saves time and friction: each time I start a new text box, I currently have to resize it manually.
Provides a consistent look and layout across notes, especially when writing longer paragraphs.
Makes Windows version closer in functionality to what iPad version has, enhancing cross-platform consistency.
Suggestions for implementation:
Option in settings: “New Text Box Default…

Feature Request: Sync Pen Colors, Add Matching Paper Sizes, and Expand Sticker Library
1- Sync Pen Colors Across Devices
It would be great if custom pen colors automatically synced between all devices linked to the same account (iPad, Windows, Android, etc.). This way, users can keep a consistent color palette without having to recreate it manually.2- Add Paper That Matches the Document Size
Please add an option to insert new pages that automatically match the size and layout of the current document. This would make it easier to keep documents consistent without adjusting the paper size each time.3- Add More Built-in Stickers
