  1. It would be great if GoodNotes allowed users to rescale existing paper templates. For example, when using an A4 template with a squared pattern, users could adjust the grid size (e.g., 4 mm, 5 mm, 1 cm, etc.) without changing the overall paper format. This flexibility would make it easier to customize templates for different needs—such as technical notes, sketches, or graphing—while maintaining a consistent page size and layout.

  2. Add an option to easily export a text doc AS A TEXT DOC and not as a PDF.
    Also fix the size and format of all textDoc settings so it wouldnt look so bad as a PDF

  3. Make possible to draw a straight line but with different slants: when I take a picture of a text, sometimes the text is not perfectly straight, it’s abi tilted and it’s impossible to highlight it with the straight feature cause the highlight won’t correspond to the tilted text.
    Thanks

  4. I’m currently using Goodnotes for handwritten notes and pages for typing ones. I’d love to do that all in Goodnotes. I think an improvement of the text document is well needed. For example, give the choice to visualise as one full page or divided in a4 pages, give more options tu personalise texts fonts, font size. All the features used in other apps.
    Thanks

  5. I find writing with a keyboard more difficult since the last update. You have removed the keyboard function in the toolbar, and now I have to tap and hold to start writing in a regular notebook. This is useless.

    Text documents are not a terrible thing, but you should add the possibility to highlight or write with a pen on them. Personally, I chose GoodNotes because it allowed me to both write with a keyboard and with a pen on the same file.
    With text documents you can finally write without pages and the issues that come from it (having…

  6. 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…

  7. please take away the automatic tool bar that pops up after encircling. every time I want to rearrange my notes, it pops up and BLOCKS the FOV that I'm moving it to.

  8. After element button is selected, the collection bar at bottom should be able to be made bigger when opened, the images are so small it's hard to see them even on a 12" iPad

  9. I’d like to suggest that GoodNotes add an auto-refine or handwriting smoothing feature that subtly corrects small imperfections in handwriting without changing the user’s natural writing style.

    Currently, when writing with the Apple Pencil using the ballpoint pen, I’ve noticed that the strokes sometimes add unwanted flicks or extra lines at the end of letters, which makes the handwriting look less clean and natural, this is extremely irratating as on other app my handwriting doesnt appear to be like that. Even with the stability setting at zero, it still happens, and it disrupts the flow of writing, especially for users…

  11. Su template scuri l’evidenziatore sembra non funzioni bene, nel senso che perde il colore originale diventando sbiadito.

  12. Ci vorrebbe la possibilità di disegnare frecce perfette soltanto restando un secondo in più con l’Apple Pencil sul foglio. Sarebbe una bella comodità.

  13. 直線で囲われた図形を書く際に、勝手に線種がそろってしまう。
    空間図形などは、奥にある線は点線、手前は実線で書きたいという場面がありますが、今回のアップデートで、直線でもつながると線種がそろってしまい非常に厄介。

  14. When I use the “Draw and Hold” feature, I can’t make a perfect circle — it always becomes an ellipse instead. Even when I try using the Shape tool, it still doesn’t draw a perfect circle. I hope this can be improved!

  15. It would be helpful for many people if the flashcard set could be exported as a PDF and printed, for example.

  17. For long text documents, it would be helpful to have a find and replace option. I have a document, for example, that has 124 instances of the same name that needs to be changed. Right now, I can only do it manually in Goodnotes 6.

  18. 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…

  20. 아니 포스트잇을 접어놓는게 읽기모드할때 펼쳐보려고 내가 해둔거지.
    편집모드일때 쓰려고하는거겠음?
    다 쓰는거 읽을때 편할려고 하는건데 읽기모드에서
    펼쳐지지않는게 ㅈㄴ돈이아까운수준이에요.

    게다가 고작 10페이지 작성한 노트도 중간에 안보이는 페이지는 왤케 많고 내릴내 왤케 버벅거리는거애요?
