Table Function
It would be really cool if we had a button again in the Windows version that you could click on and, like with the keyboard, click somewhere and a table would appear. After that, you can write in it, and if you need more lines/columns, you can press a small plus sign.However, there could also be a small window that appears beforehand when you click on the table icon, where you can select which layout you want.

[Integration] Stock Image Search (Unsplash, Shutterstock, etc.)
We really need to provide an online image feature similar to the one shown in the picture. It needs to be like a GIF, and it's very much needed.

Revert shape resize to what it was in the Goodnotes 6 version.
Now, when the shape snaps, you can't edit its dimensions by dragging your pen, it only resizes larger or smaller. This is an issue because I have to change the tool to the shape tool to change the dimensions, and this has a minimum width. Goodnotes 6 had a good system where the shape snapped and then you could drag your pen to change the width/height of the box rather than just scaling it up or down.

New Update
I know these are for a single complaint, however, the entire update is the issue and the app would be better reverted to the previous version.
This has been the worst update in a long time. First and foremost, the bookmark feature has been absolutely stripped on confidence and essentially ruined. Using the new text boxes is a nightmare - the new editing tool the sits next to the text box simply obstructs the document, is clunky, and makes editing the text boxes infinitely more difficult. Also, there is no longer the ability to use apple’s native ‘look up’ feature…

Inline LaTeX support for typed text in GoodNotes
Hi GoodNotes team,
I’m a heavy GoodNotes user on [iPad / Mac / iPhone] and I absolutely love using the app for studying and taking math/technical notes.
I’ve noticed that GoodNotes currently doesn’t support inline LaTeX rendering in regular typed text (for example, writing $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ in a text box and having it render as nicely formatted math). I know you have great math / equation tools, but those generate separate equation objects rather than letting us mix math and normal text seamlessly in the same paragraph.
For students and professionals in math, statistics, physics, engineering, and…

[AI] Add "Off" Button
Add an option to turn AI off. This feature is obstructive and if it has to be in the app, give users an option to opt out or turn AI off.

Native table feature with directly typeable text fields
Currently, there’s no way to insert a real table in GoodNotes that you can type into directly with the keyboard — like you can in Apple Notes, for example. Right now you either have to draw the table entirely by hand (lines/shapes) and then place individual text fields for each cell, or import a finished table from Word/Excel as a PDF and overlay text fields on top of that as well. Both approaches are cumbersome, especially for larger tables.
It would be great if GoodNotes could add a native “Insert Table” feature where you set the number of rows and…

Feature Requests and Improvement Suggestions for Goodnotes
Dear Goodnotes Team,
I would like to share some feature requests and suggestions that I believe could make Goodnotes even more useful, especially for studying, teaching, presenting, and working with Whiteboards.
- Customizable Laser Pointer Duration
It would be very useful to make the display duration of the Laser Pointer adjustable. Users could choose how long the laser line remains visible before automatically disappearing.
- Toggle Function for Taps
I would really appreciate a toggle function for Taps. There could be a switch that allows all Taps used within a notebook or Whiteboard to be revealed or hidden at once.
Currently, if…

Customizable Laser Pointer Duration and Colors
I’m a science teacher and I use Goodnotes regularly for teaching and presenting lessons.
I really like the Laser Pointer feature, but I think two small improvements would make it much more useful for teachers:
Adjustable laser trail duration: Let users choose how long the laser remains visible, such as 1, 3, 5, or 10 seconds. A 3–5 second option would be especially useful when explaining diagrams, graphs, and questions.
Different laser colors: It would be great to have several color options, such as red, blue, green, and yellow. Teachers could use different colors for different purposes, such as red…3 votes -
Keyboard shortcut for PEN COLOR
Hi Goodnotes team,
I teach math and statistics over Zoom, using Goodnotes on Mac. While teaching, I switch pen colors constantly, for example to highlight a formula, mark a correction, or separate steps in a solution.
Right now, every time I want to change color, I have to move the pointer away from the page to the toolbar, pick the color, and only then go back to writing. It's very frustrating, and it breaks the flow of the lesson in front of students.
Request:
Let users define several pen colors (a preset palette) that are available directly in the toolbar.…

"Bold" Highlighter
I would love to suggest a new feature for the highlighter tool. Instead of adding a fluorescent background color, it would be amazing to have a specific highlighter that simply makes the selected text (handwritten or typed) bold.
This would be incredibly useful for emphasizing certain words or sentences cleanly, without cluttering the page with too many bright colors. It would keep notes looking professional and easy to read. Thank you for considering!

Create a setting to bring back constant pen hover preview
Goodnotes used to always display a preview of the tool; however, now it only shows when you select a new one or move the pen away from hover distance and back.

Adjust default darkness/opacity of Pencil Tool for Apple Pencil (USB-C)
Hi Goodnotes team,
Currently, the Pencil tool in Goodnotes is extremely faint and barely visible when using the Apple Pencil (USB-C), making it practically unusable for daily note-taking.
Since the Apple Pencil (USB-C) lacks physical pressure sensitivity hardware, Goodnotes seems to default to the lowest pressure level (minimum opacity).
Could you please optimize the Pencil tool for styluses without pressure sensitivity? Specifically, please set the default stroke darkness to a standard, legible level (equivalent to normal/medium pressure) when pressure data is absent, or add an opacity slider so users can adjust the base darkness manually. This would greatly help users…

Bolding handwriting
The new handwriting optimization tool is great. However it would be nice to have more options of handwriting as they all look the same and the option to bold it or change the width.

Improve Tape tool cursor for better precision
Currently, the mouse cursor for the Tape tool is a round circle. This makes it very difficult to see exactly where the tape starts and ends. Please change the cursor to a narrow vertical line or a standard mouse pointer instead. This would allow for much more precise taping.

Bring Back "command" + "+" for Zoom in and "Command" + "-" for Zoom out
Please bring back the 'Command +' and 'Command -' keyboard shortcuts for zooming in and out. I rely on mouse shortcuts for my workflow; without these, I am forced to use the trackpad, which significantly slows down my efficiency.

Sync pencil settings between devices
Pencil settings like Color and thickness should be synced between all devices using the same GoodNotes account. So you can use the same Color for highlighters across all devices.

Allow text sizes below 8pt (1–7pt)
Hello, thank you for always providing a wonderful app.
I would like to request a feature regarding the text tool in GoodNotes 6.
In the current version, the minimum font size is fixed at 8pt.
However, in previous versions, being able to use 1–7pt was extremely helpful for writing small annotations, subscripts, chemical formulas, and compact notes.If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could:
・ Allow font sizes below 8pt again (1–7pt)This function would benefit many users who need fine, detailed writing.
Thank you very much for your consideration.18 votes -
Change thickness of Writing After Already Written
It'd be very useful to be able to change the thickness of writing after I have already written something. I often forget to change the thickness when I write and when I go back to edit. Just expanding the written text is NOT the same and makes it very difficult. Often, I have to delete the text and rewrite it, which wastes a lot of time. I have a friend who complains about it too, so it's good to know it's not just me. But please... I need this.

[Highlighter] Automatically Set Highlighter to Back Layer
I noticed that the recent update allows highlighter and other objects to be manually selected and then “send to back”. I like that this feature allows for highlighter to be positioned behind text, but it would be useful if there was an option to have that automatically done or to have the highlighter tool set to automatically send highlighter to back layer once a line is drawn using it. Adding a toggle on the highlighter menu so users can select to automatically have highlighter “send to back” would be amazing.
