Infinite canvas is not searchable
The infinite canvas currently does not export as a searchable pdf file. When we export the file, it works like a picture which gets pixelated when we zoom
So it would help a lot if we could search handwriting and text within the infinite canvas5 votes -
Auto-Scroll-Funktion
Sehr geehrtes GoodNotes-Team,
ich nutze GoodNotes bereits seit einigen Jahren und bin insgesamt sehr zufrieden mit der App – insbesondere mit dem übersichtlichen und intuitiven Interface. Dafür möchte ich Ihnen zunächst ein großes Lob aussprechen.
Im Rahmen dieses Feedbacks möchte ich gerne eine Funktion anregen: Eine Auto-Scroll-Option für Notizen. Konkret stelle ich mir vor, dass Inhalte automatisch in einem einstellbaren Tempo nach unten scrollen können – idealerweise ab einem frei wählbaren Startpunkt.
Diese Funktion wäre beispielsweise beim Lesen längerer Texte sehr hilfreich, da man nicht ständig manuell scrollen müsste. Besonders nützlich wäre sie auch beim Musizieren mit digitalen Noten: Wenn…

Writing Tools in Main Toolbar
Thank you for improving the toolbar customisation with your latest updates to version 7.0.15.
However, it would be very helpful, if it would be possible to have the writing tools also integrated in the main toolbar. I use the laser, the fountain pen, the highlighter and the eraser for presenting slides in my lectures. I have to switch very often between the writing tool and the laser during the lecture and with the current setup, there is always an extra click, when I want to switch between the laser and a writing tool, since I have to open first the…4 votes -

Currently, GoodNotes requires a two-finger double-tap to undo. Apps like Procreate use a single two-finger tap, which is the gesture most stylus users are already muscle-memorized to. Coming from Procreate, I instinctively single-tap to undo and it never registers, breaking my writing flow constantly.
The fix is simple: add an option in Settings to choose between single-tap and double-tap for the two-finger undo gesture. Users who prefer double-tap keep their behavior; users coming from Procreate or other apps can switch to single-tap.
This is a low-lift change with high impact for anyone who uses multiple creative apps on iPad.I…

I'd like Goodnotes to expand its support to all Android smartphones, even if it's only for previews.
This is my first request, and since this is a machine translation, the English might be unnatural. Anyway, I would like Goodnotes to be supported on all Android smartphones, even if it's just for previews. While the iPad is convenient for almost all Goodnotes use cases, it's honestly not suitable for quick, casual viewing. Therefore, even if it's only for document previews, I would like Goodnotes to be compatible with all Android smartphones.

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…

Rotate draw and hold/more nuanced lasso tool
Hi GoodNotes team,
I use GoodNotes heavily for planning and note-taking, and I’ve noticed a frustrating inconsistency with shapes.
When I draw an oval using the Pen tool with “draw & hold” (auto-shape), it sometimes snaps into place at an angle. However, when I select it, there’s no rotate handle or rotate option—so I can’t straighten it without deleting and redrawing.
In contrast, an oval created with the Shape tool does include a rotate handle. This results in two shapes that look identical but behave very differently, which can be confusing during fast daily use.
Feature request:

Reporting issues regarding the update of floating toolbar
Dear GoodNotes Team,
As someone who has been using GoodNotes for nearly three years, I was quite surprised by the recent update. Since writing is very important to me and GoodNotes has been one of the best tools I have ever had, I wanted to share some feedback right away:
…1. Thank you for finally adding the floating toolbar option. However, the current design has some issues. For example, since the toolbar now sits lower on the page, it reduces the available workspace and sometimes overlaps with the text, which is not ideal. 2. The new toolbar design limits access5 votes -

MiniPlayer Opens on All Windows causing Lag
Before, when using Goodnotes with stage manager, if I started audio playback then the app lagged badly if multiple windows with the same notebook were open.
Now, if multiple windows are open, the app lags to a stop. This is because starting playback on any notebook from a recording (required to address another bug) opens the miniplayer on EVERY Goodnotes window, which causes substantial lag. This is insufferable.
This behavior has continued ever since the introduction of the New Experience.

Fix Timeline Bugs
Since the introduction of the GoodNotes 6 New Experience, Audio Recording began exhibiting several workflow-breaking bugs.
Originally, upon starting playback in a note, the timeline would open. Now that does not happen, costing me minutes.
Originally, I could pause playback and then take notes, which would then be correlated to that moment in the playback. In other words, I could hold down on the new text and continue audio playback.
Now, whenever I write notes and audio is paused, the timeline jumps to 0:00.
Please fix this.

Automatic Handwriting enhancement / Erase and Tags
Hello,
Would it be possible to add an automatic handwriting enhancement feature, similar to the one offered by Apple Note?
And also to be able to erase by long-pressing with the Apple Pencil, like in Notability, for example.
These two features would be a fantastic addition to Goodnotes!
Another thing: a tag system for finding files more efficiently.
Thank you in advance to the Goodnotes development team if they read this message.
Have a good day!2 votes -
textbox
typing needs much improvement...
1. textbox
- indented bullet points need to be added
- allow multiple default typings instead of only one- full page typing
- allow change font i know this will mess up the spacing but we could change the line spacing ourselves
also when more tape is used, its hard to select one individual tape and insteads it selects many tape around my selction. precision could be improved

Batch Rename and Customizable Naming Rules for Whiteboards/Notebooks
Currently, when creating new Whiteboards or notebooks, the default naming convention is "Whiteboard 1, 2, 3...". For students who need to organize notes by specific identifiers—such as "Q1, Q2" for exam problems—manually renaming each file is extremely tedious and inefficient.
I would like to suggest two improvements to the workflow:
Batch Rename Feature: Implement a feature similar to the "Rename" tool in macOS Finder, allowing users to select multiple files and apply a consistent naming rule (replace text, add prefixes/suffixes, or use sequential numbering).
Customizable Default Naming: Allow users to change the default prefix. For example, being able to change…

Options Bar Update (October 2025)
Every time I select anything on screen with the lasso tool the options bar pops up BELOW my selection. Once I go to click out of my selection, the trash button is in the way and deletes my writing. Why on earth would the options bar pop up below when holding down on the selected area results in ANOTHER bar popping up on top of the selection. Super annoying and frustrating when the new position of the tool bar makes me delete everything I select with the lasso tool.

Bring back the ability to draw straight lines
After the latest update, drawing a straight line using the shapes tool is often impossible: If the line I'm trying to draw is close to another line it will snap to either a curved line or a straight line in a very different position from where I drew it. This is a major regression.
In the attached picture, I drew a square and attempted (several times) to draw a diagonal straight line from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. The first time it snapped to a vertical line, the second time it snapped to a horizontal line,…
