UI Fixes on iPad
Hello GoodNotes Team,
I’m writing to share some UX feedback based on frequent, everyday use of GoodNotes on iPad. All of the points below stem from a common issue: tool discoverability and predictability, especially for power users who rely on muscle memory.
- Inconsistent context menu ordering When selecting content, the context menu (Copy, Paste, Duplicate, etc.) changes order depending on context. For example, “Copy” sometimes appears near the top and other times much lower in the list. Because these are high-frequency actions, the inconsistency makes the interface feel unpredictable and slows down routine workflows.
A fixed order—or ideally user-configurable ordering—would…

Auto-switch back to previous tool after using the lasso.
For example, after I move an object, it automatically switches back to the pen tool.

Setup Logitech Creative Console for Goodnotes
Logitech Creative Console is a device that is programmable for navigating apps i.e. Adobe, Photoshop, Zoom etc. However there isn't an available template for Goodnotes, it can be programmed by each individual user, however it would be fantastic if one were available for all Goodnotes users.

Non-Deletable Handwriting
I need a feature in GoodNotes that allows certain handwritten text to remain undeletable, even when I use the page delete function.
When I solve the same workbook multiple times, I mark whether I got each question right or wrong. The problem is that when I use the page delete function to clear my messy work and keep only those markings, the previous right/wrong marks get deleted as well, which is inconvenient.

Math font size
I want to be able to change the size of the math equations, to set a default size so when it’s converted, it goes down to that size.

Add a Pin/Lock Option for the GoodNotes AI Floating Sidebar
Add a Pin/Lock Option for the GoodNotes AI Floating Sidebar
When the GoodNotes AI sidebar is set as a floating bar, I’d like to request an option to pin or lock it in place.
Currently, if I tap anywhere outside the chat—such as the page itself or another UI element—the AI chat UI disappears. This makes it difficult to read the answer I just received, or to quickly check the page while formulating a follow-up question. Often, the sidebar disappears before I can continue, which makes the purpose of the floating bar unclear.
It would be very helpful to have:

Audio Transcription Search
Please bring back the ability to search audio transcripts. That saves me so much time scrolling when I can search for a phrase or word in the transcripts. It disappeared after one of the new updates across all of my devices (iPhone, Mac, iPad)
9 votes[Audio Transcription Search is in progress 🚧]
Hello,
Thank you so much for sharing your suggestion — great news! The ability to search within audio transcriptions is currently in progress and will be going live soon.
Just to make sure we’ve understood your suggestion correctly: this will be a brand-new feature, as searching within audio transcriptions wasn’t previously possible. If you had a different improvement in mind, please feel free to submit it as a new idea or search within existing ones.
We’ll keep you updated as development moves forward. Stay tuned!

Passive and Selective Voice Recording
Add the option to have an active recording going on but not actively saving every bit of the recording. Only have the recording save when I click a specific button, and it will "catch" the last 1 minute of audio and record that on the page I'm currently on.
I often find myself in lectures wanting to catch the last 30 seconds to 1 minute of what my professor said, but it's too late; they've moved on, and I can't start recording now because I missed it in the first place.I got the idea from Steam gaming actually. Where…

Adding new node or handle to existing shape
When drawing shapes goodnotes creates nodes or handles to allow you to adjust the shape, however you cannot then add a new node/handle to the shape.
For example, if I draw a triangle, and then want to change it to a 4 sided shape, I have to delete the shape and redraw.
When drawing complex shapes, this is time consuming and frustrating.
Please can you add the option to add new nodes (or handles) to existing shapes?2 votes -
Edit font size for written and drawn things
We should be able to edit the size of written text and drawn shapes that have already been created. I don’t mean like how it is now. That’s great too. But, for example, after adding a shape, you can adjust the width. We would like that for everything drawn, that’d be great. I have adhd and i like to make things extra pop by making some words thicker than the rest and i used the change in text size for organization. Well… I often get locked in and forget to change the pen size. Ultimately forcing me to erase and…

Eraser and writing aids
The eraser tool works but can get glitchy because when you erase it disappears but then it reappears! It should just erase in one go. Then, there are the writing aids that pop up in the bottom. When you click hide, more just keep coming and you can’t focus

Swipe to edit flashcards
I need to be able to swipe through the flashcards IN THE EDITOR. I do NOT want to go back to thumbnail view, click on the next card, check if it has an error, go back to thumbnail view, swipe down, click the next card, remember which card I just opened, etc! I don’t want to do this to add a new flashcard either!!!!!

Pin handwriting/drawing
I love that the text tool can now be pinned and it doesn't rest every time!!! however what is very annoying is when you are annotating your text notes and the palm of your hand triggers the text you are drawing on. By having a pin text button this could mean annotating text without triggering the text box

Auto-Capitalization BROKEN
This isn’t an idea, but a broken part of the app. Currently, when a text box is made and anything is handwritten into it, the text is not capitalized, even if there was no way to misinterpret the letter. For example, it is impossible to mix up an uppercase G with a lowercase g, yet anything typed with an uppercase G will be switched to lowercase, including the beginning of the sentence. Please fix this! It didn’t used to happen. I currently have to go into any text box I make and erase the first letter, pull up the keyboard,…

Add More Granular Range Options to Pen Sliders (Tip Sharpness ~ Pen Flatness)
Add More Granular Range Options to Pen Sliders (Tip Sharpness ~ Pen Flatness)
Currently, the pen settings provide only fixed percentage options for sliders such as:
Pen Tip Sharpness (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)
Pressure Sensitivity (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%)
Pen Flatness (0%, 33%, 66%, 100%)
For example, pen tip sharpness can only be selected from preset values like 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100. However, I would like to set more precise values such as 65% or 80%.
This limitation is especially noticeable with pen flatness, where the selectable range jumps directly from 66% to 100%. I wish…
